BILLY MILANO INTERVIEW

This is a very casual interview with Billy Milano. This is the first (hopefully) of a possible series of interviews with our favorite frontman. Being this my very first one, I've only asked him some basic questions...

Thank you for taking the time to do this interview. How are you feeling today?
I feel fine -- just moved into a new apartment in Hoboken, NJ. Doing fine. Just relaxing and enjoying life.

When will you be releasing your new album? What's the name of your group? Estimated release date?
I decided to take a much needed break from recording. It's called MOD-Milano's on Drugs. I don't know when I will finish or when it will be released -- September, maybe.

What is your favorite MOD album? Favorite MOD song?
Dictated Aggression. "One Was Johnny"

What is your favorite SOD album? Favorite SOD song?
Bigger is my favorite. "Monkey's Rule"

What is your favorite album and/or song that's not related to your bands? Your favorite band?
Gypsy Kings. No particular song.

Who are your heroes in music?
Zeppelin.

Who are your heroes in non-music related fields?
Nikola Tesla. Jacques de Molay.

Why didn't you participate in both of the SOD DVD commentary tracks? (We know you couldn't be there, but it would have been great if you were! I guess I just answered the question, but explain, dammit!)
I was never asked.

Whoa! :(

Currently, what else are you doing? Besides your new band, what exactly are you doing in the music industry?
I am managing a band called SUPERJAK from Atlanta and producing.

Do you enjoy being a manager?
It has its good days -- so I tend to just do it and not to enjoy it.

If there's one thing you can change in the music industry, what would that be?
Nothing, it's fine --

Do you always take yourself seriously?
Never -- when it comes to playing -- but I am always business.

What are your other hobbies?
Reading, Religion, Fishing-hiking, long walks on a beach -- lol.

What do you do for fun in your spare time (if you have any!)?
Sleep-fuck-drink-eat-fight- and drink some more.

Isn't "Fellowship of the Ring" one of the greatest movie ever? (There is only one answer!) :) ? Seriously, what other movies did you love?
I love the classics -- but I saw LOTR 4 times -- 2 times were back to back.

What will you do to Scott and Charlie when you see them personally?
Choke them out.

Have you ever thought of becoming a professional wrestler?
My whole life.

If so, who would you like to beat up first? And what would be your finishing move?
I want to beat Scott down first so Charlie watches and waits for the impending pummeling. Bodyslam--

What do you want to say to all the Billy Milano haters out there?
I hate you too.

What is your philosophy in life? And do you follow it?
Enjoy each day because one day you'll have none left -- and I do.
