Milano got an audition for MTV on May 2nd as a possible host for
Headbangers Ball. Wouldn't it be great if he got that job? Today
Billy gave me some exclusive news about this audition:
"I have recently
tried out for host of MTV's Headbangers Ball.
They have just called me back to shoot a test reel for them to
preview. This is huge news and you have it first. They asked me what
would I bring to the show. I said, "Credibility and a knowledge
of metal music they need desperately."
Wish me luck, more news to follow.
peace

REVIEWS
In other news, I
have added 2 links to reviews for M.O.D.'s soon to be released album 'The
Rebel You Love To Hate'. On www.whitethrashdevil.com, Sick Royale writes:
"From mocking the
nu-metal/rap-rock scene, to ripping System Of A Down and Rage Against The
Machine a new asshole, to goofing on Rammstein, and giving props to Kiss,
Milano completely loses his mind on The Rebel You Love To Hate. I
used to think he was just a loud mouth, but now I'm convinced Billy's
fuckin' nuts. The album's title track is a five minute celebration of
being Billy Milano. I don't know how this guy can sit, his balls are so
big. The egocentric lyrics are backed up by a badass song, so it all evens
out in the end. Billy truly is the rebel we all love to hate, and I
have a feeling a lot of people will be loving The Rebel You Love To
Hate." [...] "The lyrics on The Rebel You Love To Hate
are just as great as the music. "Wigga," the album's first
track, and mockery of nu-metal and rap-rock, is absolutely brilliant, and
one of the funniest things Billy's written in years ("Pull your pants
up!")." [...] "The Rebel You Love To Hate is one
hell of a fun album, and if you're an old school M.O.D. fan, I guarantee
you're gonna love it. As always, don't take my word. Buy the fucker and
judge for yourself."

Death Metal Dan writes at
www.into-obscurity.com:
[...] "What's new is
M.O.D.'s step away from more straight thrash music to a more wholly
encompassing satirical soundtrack. Nowadays, the music providing the
groundwork for Milano's verbal bullets is more in line with the ammo. A
pseudo-nu-metal rhythm makes up the whole of "Wigga" and in
"Rage Against the Mac Machine," the guitarist uses those weird
octave effects that RATM's guitarist threw into every one of his solos.
This does wonders for the attacks and the humor on the album, but makes
the album a bit harder to listen for purely musical enjoyment. But there
are plenty of less threatening tracks that have more of a straightforward
metal approach, like the title track." [...] "I think S.O.D.
really missed the mark with their second album. M.O.D. do a much better
job, but it's difficult to touch hits like Bubble Butt."

In
Europe the album will be released in June. But it is possible to
listen to it already!!! Billy told me to upload the following tracks, for
fans to download. Enjoy.
