M.O.D. - Great new bootleg!!!

About 6 months ago, during September 2003, M.O.D. did a small tour and played 7 shows. Yesterday I got a copy of the last show of that tour. And it sounds f*cking great!!!

Bootleg: M.O.D. - Connections, 2003 This was the last show with Joe Affe on guitar, who left a couple of weeks ago and is now replaced by Jon Aaron. This recording is one of the best sounding bootlegs I have in my collection! It was recorded and mastered by Jeff Sebastianelli. Great job! He also did the artwork.

Billy Milano introduces NEW M.O.D. member

A little time ago you could read here that Joe Affe had left M.O.D. to join his old band again and that Billy would announce his new guitarist within a few days..

Another J.A. on guitar At www.billymilano.com, Billy introduces M.O.D.'s new guitarist Jon Aaron. Jon about joining M.O.D.: "First of all, I am an old school S.O.D./M.O.D. fan and a fan of Billy Milano. Billy's knowledge of the music industry and contacts are an invaluable asset to establish my musical career. Doing a band like M.O.D. is like metal boot camp. Billy Milano is in fact Sgt. 'D.' the drill instructor from hell! This is all about learning the ropes, touring and understanding a professional working band." More about Jon Aaron at Billy Milano's Official website.

Update - Special items & MP3 of the Month

Yesterday I got another S.O.D.- bootleg. It was recorded at the 'November to Dismember' festival in San Antonio, back in 1999.

Seasoning The Obese When I got this recording from the 'November to Dismember' festival, I immediatly knew what should be the MP3 of February 2004. At first, this show doesn't seem very different from the other bootlegs of the 'Killith Fair' tour that I already had. But what makes this show special is that it was the very first time that S.O.D. performed 'Seasoning The Obese' live! The single hadn't even been released yet. For more info about this show, go to the 'special-items page'. Click here to go to the 'download-section' and listen to this early live version of Seasoning The Obese. PS.: The MP3's of December 2003 and January 2004 are no longer available, but the MP3's from August - November are available again.

JANUARY 28th, 2004:

M.O.D. tour postponed

It seems that the European fans will have to wait a little longer... I had hoped to see M.O.D. finally in March or April, but that is not going to happen.

According to Billy Milano himself, it had something to do with the booking agent. Billy: "Unfortunately I had to postpone the European tour. The booking agent I selected was not doing a good job so I felt it was best to wait. [...] I'll get you further updates soon. Peace Billy." Hopefully there will be better news next time. I would love to see M.O.D. play this summer at some Europeans festivals. Let's just see what's going to happen. *EDIT*: Just seconds after I posted this news, I read some more important announcements by Billy concerning M.O.D. at Billy Milano's Messageboard. So, here it is: Big-big News "First off, :Let me thank everyone who reads this and actually takes time to enjoy the website. James (the webbastard) and myself take alot of time to make this site happen. Unfortunately, The European tour is gonna have to wait. Not enough support from the label and a bad choice on my part for picking the wrong booking agent. Next!- Joe Affe friend and guitarist is currently jammin with is old band and both he and I wish each other luck in this shitty industry. I'll keep you posted when Joe gets closer to a deal or gets a demo or some shit. I will be announcing the new guitarist this weekend and will interview him so you rubberheads can get to know him. Here's the big one. I am in think tank mode to make the "Killith-Fair" the underground touring package I've always looked to do. It will feature many of the things you have come to recognize with festivals. I spoke to none other than Mr. Jack Koshick and he thinks it's a great idea. So tell me what American Bands on what Label should I talk to??? Thanks for your support again and look for website updates. peace Milano".
