Chronicles of Chaos: So let's talk about S.O.D. for a second, if I may. A lot of news sources was quoting some really harsh comments from Billy [Milano] after you guys had brought out "Bigger Than the Devil". Care to comment on the reason for this bust-up?
Scott Ian: "There was no bust-up. S.O.D.... you know, you can talk to all four members of S.O.D. and they'll give you a different answer on their opinion of what S.O.D. is, and that is because S.O.D. was never a band. Billy might give you a completely different answer to what I just did, but I look at it this way: Billy might be the mouthpiece for S.O.D., but I invented S.O.D.; I drew the mascot on a piece of paper, I wrote the first ten songs, and then I called [Danny] Lilker up and we wrote the next ten songs, and we asked Billy to sing on the record. S.O.D. was never a band and there's never been something to bust up. It's something that was a project and it remains an on-going entity, but it was never meant to be a band that makes records and then tours and then makes another record. It was never supposed to have that kind of baggage. The fact that we even made 'Bigger Than the Devil' was a complete fluke in that sense. It's just something that was only ever supposed to be for complete and absolute fun without any of the things that being in a band entails without any of the business; without any of that. We were able to create this thing with 'Speak English or Die' that operated completely outside of the music it was the exact opposite of the way things are supposed to be done. And that was the point of it. Making that album was a complete reaction to doing 'Spreading the Disease', because we had spent six months in the studio, because we had a producer who was being paid by the day, so the longer he took the more money he made. I wrote that S.O.D. album during that time and then we recorded and mixed that record in three days, and it enabled me to call Carl Canedy and tell him that we'd done the album in that amount of time and it sounded pretty fucking good, and that with 'Spreading the Disease' he had ripped us off. That was the whole idea with S.O.D.</B>: it was supposed to exist outside of the normal. Billy, I think, had different ideas: he would have loved for the band to more of a permanent thing. He would have loved to have made more records, done more touring or whatever. Everyone who has ever been in S.O.D. have always had their eyes open, though. Charlie and I obviously have our priorities, and Lilker has always had his whether it was BRUTAL TRUTH or NUCLEAR ASSAULT and that's just the way it is. Billy and I have an interesting relationship: we're more like brothers than anything else. Sometimes you could not like each other, but you're still brothers, you know? That's our relationship in a nutshell."

The fact is Scott and I get along most of the time.
Charlie is the most evil woman I have ever met.
and I was the one that gave SOD it's whole Identity

Right. When people think of SOD, do you think the first thing that spings to mind is Scott Ian? No, they think of Billy fucking Milano!Buzzard said:
First of all hello all. I havent posted but have been reading for a while.
Well when I look at or listen to S.O.D, Billy is the first that comes to mind. But I am huge fan of anthrax also so I dont just think of S.O.D as just Billy. I honestly keep Scott, Charlie and Dan there also. Its hard for me to put one person in the forefront of a band. I think they all had a hand in making the band. Not taking anything away from you Billy. Of course its hard to decipher everyones story's or views on certain subjects. I prefer to respect all and enjoy the art that is created. Thats my .02 Thanks

Yeah, I missed SOD at the Intersection in Grand Rapids.....Get this, the reason I didn't go was because I thought they would be through again...Damn with the history of the band I should have known better and I kick my ass all the time over it...Shit I'm stupid sometimes....So Billy get the band back together just for me so I can see you guys live at least once 
What do you think of Paul Bostaph as far as a replacement for Charlie??? That guy has the sickest fills ever!!!!!

not........ Anthrax IMHO Didnt come as a force to be delt with until Spreading the disease and Among the Living and they kept it going until POT (which is one of the heaviest records EVER)johnnieCzech said:And with Neil Turbin and Dan Lilker...was it Anthrax or not?
But as everyone has seen the once great Anthrax fell from being pioneers of metal to being just another band after getting rid of Joey...............

Could you replace John, or Paul or George or Ringo....... Actually wasn't Ringo a replacment? I just don't think it would have the same feel.Buzzard said:
