In 2009, my primary interest in Billy Milano is reading the new and creative ways the dudes at Metal Inquistion come up with to give him shit (read here and here for examples). Still, I recognize that once upon a time the dude made good music, and about a gajillion of you e-mailed us the link to this video of him performing S.O.D.’s “United Forces” with Lamb of God (and Doc Coyle!) at a recent Metallica concert. So, y’know, let’s call this one a reader request.

As an interviewer, you quickly learn that you have very little control how an interview goes. Of course, you can show up well prepared and ready to chat all day long, but if the person you’re interviewing turns out to be a diva/an imbecile/hungover/whatever, there’s really nothing you can do but try to get through it as quickly and painlessly as possible and hope it translates in way that is at least semi-interesting way for the eventual reader.

Of course, in the case of Sergeant D from Metal Inquisition, making a not-so-great interview with the not-so-bright Billy Milano translate in a semi-interesting way for the reader means constantly pointing out the ways in which Milano turned out to be a limp dick. And thank Christ for that, ’cause otherwise this interview would be awful.

Here’s a nice little sample for ya:

Metal Inquistion – which may be the funniest metal blog on the net besides the one you’re currently reading – has posted this video of Billy Milano, with the following observation:

“Billy Milano must be one of the world’s most annoying human beings, and also one of the saddest. Watch this video, and tell me you don’t want to just punch him in the face so many times that your hand will break in half…

“The band’s name is M.O.D. for god’s sake….Mr. Milano had such a hard time letting go of S.O.D. that he started a bizarro world version of it. It’s as though Dave Mustaine had been kicked out of Metallica and had gone on to start Netallica.”

Watch the video and see if you agree.
