I was the main video camera man. My angle is the one that shows Billy diving. There were literally no women at this show. I didn't get paid but, it's okay because I got to be a part of metal history with this show and VHS / DVD home video release.

I'm 53 and the live gigs in the 80s were just crazy.

("Ha, Ha!") I can't believe that somebody actually requested the Stormtroopers of Death! (S.O D.) My favorite track from their "Speak English or Die" L P. performed "Live". Priceless reaction, You two‼️🤘

Scott Ian on guitar and Charlie Benante on drums from Anthrax...Danny Lilker (ex Anthrax and Nuclear Assault) on bass...Billy Milano on vocals

It's not just a riff. It's THE riff.

Billy Milano. He's a badass. S.O.D. rocks

Welcome to the 80's...the GLORY DAYS of metal..😈🤘🤘

How can you be a fan of metal and NOT know of S.O.D.??? This was in my portable CD player from the day it was released for a year straight!!! I wore out this VHS tape of this show!!!! Greatest fucking band EVER!!! Charlie Benante(drums), Scott Ian(guitar), Billy fucking Milano(vocals), and Danny Lilker(bass).......💀🤘💀🤘👊🤔👊

I love when they said "That guy"lol. It's friggin Scott f'kn Ian.

Oh God, Those days were great!!!, The early mosh crowds were the best, before everyone starting doing it.

The 80's thrash scene was the best. Loved growing up in it.

I was at this show. Agnostic front played before SOD. 1992 sick show!!!!

Love these guys. S.O.D. was a thrash/hardcore punk side project of guitarist Scott Ian and drummer Charlie Benante from Anthrax along with former Anthrax bassist Dan Lilker and with Billy Milano on vocals. Never got to see them live, but I did see M.O.D. live once, Milano's band after S.O.D. disbanded.

"Sergeant D. is coming & You are on his list!"

yes he was hitting the dude over the head with his microphone at 7:00

One of the best riffs ever!!

This album is the blueprint for modern metal.

Been requesting Stormtroopers Of Death for a long time. How do you not recognize Scott Ian and Charlie Benante of Anthrax? Bassist is Dan Lilker, original Anthrax bassist. This is a parody band btw, don't take anything seriously.

My all time favorite S.O.D.performance and Wolfhunter reaction!!!

"The guitar player" "that guy was marchin" that IS SCOTT IAN. ANTHRAX YALL

Welcome to 80s metal shows.

WElcome to the world of S.O.D gosh what memories it brings. all the way back to late 80's

Yesss….welcome to 80’s NYC Hardcore!!!!

Greatest stage diving ever!!! 7:00 when Billy hit that guy with his mic 3 times in the head🤣🤣🤣🤣

S.O.D 🤘

Killer Riff, Scott Ian's the man oh-ohhhhh, the Milano flip, epic all around, the good ol days!

Metal fans were super dedicated back in those days

This was the heaviest band in the world in 1985!!!

Saw them live here in Boston and it was such a sick show. One of the best crossover bands EVER. My favorite actually, aside from D.R.I.

Speak English or Die was one of my favorite albums as a teen. Mosh it up!

That stage-dive is a most punk-rock thing ever

Vio-lence,world in a world!!!

I played drums way back when I loved playing the intro to 'True Colors' by MOD, you guys should check that video out.

Love this!! You're the first channel I've seen react to SOD. 🤘🤘 MTV used this song as intro for Headbangers Ball for many years.

Just a little note: the band is called S.O.D. meaning Stormtroopers Of Death. "March Of The S.O.D." and "Sergeant D And The S.O.D." are both names of their songs - initial songs from their album "Speak English Or Die"!!

Apparently have never watched the Headbangers Ball! Such a shame. They would have loved it. I couldn't wait for Saturday nights and watching all the baddest bands. RIP Headbangers Ball!

We were all kinda nuts back then. :D This totally fucking rocks!

Billy Milano the craziest frontman in metal.

Scott Ian (guitarist) - a member of Anthrax Charlie Benante (drummer) - also a member of Anthrax Dan Lilker (bassist) - former member of Anthrax

I still have the original VHS of this as well as the cassette & CD! This is pure gold.

I love ❤️ your reaction. I love SOD!

No, thats basically how we did it back inna day. Shit like that (and even crazier shit) happened all the time. Guys left festivals with broken bones and we’re back in the pit the nxt day, cast and all…

S.O.D, the band that turned me into the metal head I am today 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻for the time this was the best and fastest🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Best part is everyone probably paid 8.75 a ticket and got the best performance of their lives. Man I miss thoes days.

Been listening to them since 90.

Throwback thursday...jesus fucking christ this is a fucking nice riff!!! I worshiped s.o.d and anthrax as a kid. Guys were ahead of their time in 1986. When he comes back up on the stage he beats the crap oyt of one guy with the mic..u can even hear the pat pat pat 😂

First time here!! Love you guys! Thumbs UP and shared! A+++

That riff is one of the hardest ever even 37 years later

I know I'm a year late but I haven't seen anyone else say it. The band is called S.O.D(Stormtroopers of Death) and the video you watched is 2 songs. 1. March of the SOD(an instrumental) and 2. Sargent D and the SOD. If you're old enough to remember, MTV's Headbangers Ball (the original) used to use March of the SOD as the intro!

Oh hell yeah!!!!! This is such a high school flashback. Omg. Sgt D is coming and you’re on his list

I’d recommend watching the whole Live At Budoken. You’ll wish you were there. ❤️

The good old days in metal!!!!

ANTHRAX forever!...Still one of the best Live Bands ever !.....More Anthrax please !!!!

The theme to MTVs Headbanger's Ball. They had several songs. S.O.D. Stormtroppers of Death!!!

Saw them at The Ritz in NYC with Morbid Angel. It was in March, I was with a buddy of mine who was in wheelchair. We were waiting outside to get in, however it was really cold, so we talked to the doorman to let my buddy inside as he was paralyzed from the waist down and would not be able to feel if he was getting frost bite, so they let us in. Never checked our tickets, (I still have the full ticket). Ran into Billy Milano at the merch table had a great convo with him and the concert was insane! MTV was there and filmed the whole concert. I think this was the concert because Billy did that stage dive from the stack at the concert I was at.

I love this clip.Classic Billy Millano what a nut !

I just requested a song by them last week, great to see!. I used to take their cassette to class in high school. Saw Anthrax in 87". SOD was scary/funny. Their song "Milk" is hilarious...

There's supposedly a bootleg vhs of sepultura that circulated in 90s were a fan did the same speaker dive and nobody caught him. The guy was getting stretched off and the band stopped playing and in broken English went on to say how much they enjoyed what just happened because they like destruction and death. I've never seen it but people I believe said they had

I was in a slayer gig in 1988, got up on the stage, stole one of jeff hannemans plectrums off his mic stand and launched myself into the audience..

Wild to think that this was just supposed to be a one-off because the boys from Anthrax just wanted to play with their old bassist again, and it got so big that the rest of Anthrax made them stop because it was threatening the success of their "real" band. They were one of the first metal bands to dive headfirst into hardcore punk and not just take a stylistic inspiration from it, and they influenced quite a few who followed.

there's the whole show on KZfaq, like a documentary 🤘 S.O.D. 🤘

SOD there gigs were legendary saw them in uk and man they kicked ass

Yup. This is MY generation of metal! That big dude is Billy Milano. Check out his other band M.O.D. (Method of Destruction).

"¿what in teh world I was Witness?" Literally, tha hardcore scene...

Live at Budukan! Billy dove like a champ!

Billy Milano also had another band called MOD who had some absolute classic songs.

I miss those days and the NYCH scene. Don't miss the violence though.

Played the shit out of S.E.O.D album back in the day. Years later I found they also bought out another, so played the shit out of that too.

Damn! I loved these guys when they came out. So fricking heavy with hilarious lyrics and song titles. Thx for reacting to them.

man, these guys were so damn tight. great band. This album was groundbreaking back then when it came out. singer was Anthrax roadie. lol

I miss this shite!! We razed hell back then!!

Right on 07.00, those 2 noises are Billy smashing his mic on someone’s head 😂

I HAVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR SOMEONE TO SEND YOU THIS!!!

LMFAO....Late 80's and early 90's Metal shows did not phuck 'round...They were glorious!! Nothing like shows today where everyone has their phones out recording...People actually participated!!!

Just imagine, your standing there looking up at Billy, and he jumps......

What an ICONIC band. React to more SOD, you won't be disappointed.

That's how we do!

Extreme kudos for reacting to an S.O.D. video. Sooooomehow, The Wolf HunterZ seem to have not a clue who S.O.D. were, though ... That's a hard pill to swallow for an 80s thrash dude like me.

Billy Milano like I said is the man and he is one person who I would want watching my back during a fight

back in those days that kind of monitor diving wasn't an uncommon thing at these shows. I saw it happen quite often back then. I seen a guy dive off a monitor about 10 ft higher than the one Billy dove off of and he got injured. haha. not many tried to catch him.

Yeahhhhhhh?Sgt. D. is coming and your on his list!!!!!! We would pump ourselves up to this song whenever we would go across town to fight the enemy We would be oblivious to the punishment we were receiving until the following morming. Thanks for the memories guys 👍👍👍👍.

you kids are great ...SOD is one of my favs,but i'm also old enough to be your guys Dad..look for some sick of it all...you guys might like it.

05:10 How often Your vocalist flip to the audience in concert ??

I stage dived atansecret death angel gig in the marquee in London. Only a handful of people knew who the band were . I got up on the stage. Took a running dive. Straight over the two rows of fans and landed hand first in front of a tall biker guy. Broke two fingers on my right hand.

He was from the defunt Psychos joined Anthrax! Sgt D And the S.O.D.

jajajajajaj your faces ,,,best reaction ever ,,,

Billy Milano kicks ass. He is a staple of New York Hardcore - and there’s so many other NYHC bands that formed and influenced many bands after. SOD was just one of those bands!

To this day SOD is still the hardest thrash metal band ever. Nuff said

MTV Headbangers Ball used to use this as the intro...

Didn't you guys ever watch Headbangers Ball on MTV? March of the SOD was the beginning of the show!

F...... love S.O.D. And M.O.D

SOD - Moment of Truth

complete insanity....I'll always love this...surely one of the greatest metal riffs of all time.....the fact that he made it back out of that pit to complete the last verse is miraculous...wtf...you won't see anything like this at a show now...liability too high...

Maybe I’m showing my age, but this was relatively typical metal/punk shows in the early 90s. Fun as hell! High energy mosh pit, probably get an elbow in the face or injured in some way not unlikely, but it was always in good fun. Last time I moshed was at a Tyr show in my forties and made it my last. This SOD clip is from the Budokan show that is really a piece of metal history and is well worth your time to watch!

I saw SOD with crowbar an skin lab at the masquerade in Atlanta Ga. my brother many years ago Steve from skinlab called it the 1000 lbs of lead singer I met an talked to Snake 🐍 guitar player for skinlab cool mf Steve stagedived and landed on my head my neck hurt for a week my brother in law about overdosed at the show and my other buddy was passed it in the back of a truck in the parking lot in not so great of an area in Atlanta but goddamn what a hell of a night 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Remember this was the lead in to MTV headbangers ball...Im OLD

Yeah, there were no waivers signed. Didn't do that back then. You gotta stop thinking like a 21st century person. The 80s were great for many reasons, here's one of them.

S.O.D is fucking brutal. Classic.

This is why people didn't mess with NYC in the 1980"s.

And check out Mr Bungle: The Raging Wrath of the Easter Bunny. Thrash mastered in 2020 from 1986 demo tapes with Thrash ALL-STARS!!
