I was the filmer of the angle showing Billy dive. This was one of my favorite concerts / life experiences. I was 27 at the time. I had permission to videotape, but I had no idea until after the fact, that my footage would be used for the official release. Oh, and Johnny Z paid me a total of $0.00 but that's okay, being a part of this legendary show was my real reward.
I think I am from the same period of time loved SOD loved Anthrax and loved Nuclear Assault. Looking at vid; what a mosh, what an ocaission, what an event. I am so jealous
I was at that show too.. I was near where the cigar landed at that moment.. "mosh pits" but I was watching when he was on the speakers.. I wondered if Billy was going to jump.. "but not for long" … love seeing him beat someone on the head with the mic too lol! It was a different age!
@@kennethnoisewater8170 well it is a concert so probably people who were in the way were way too drunk or high to move out the way. either that or there was no room left to move
@@jhx97 I was at that show and it was fuckin packed there really wasn't a way that you could've moved out of the way and I don't remember anyone really getting fucked up as far as injuries is concerned other than this one kid who ran up onstage and one of the bouncers flung him off the stage right into a barrier .
I was at this show.....Billy landed about 5-10 feet away from me. I couldnt move and my arms were pinned to my sides because the crowd was pushing so hard. All I could do was watch as he came flying down into the crowd. He's a big dude. That had to hurt.

I watched that one in person.. And then bought the vcr tape of it to prove it to my family and friends.. Then somebody's buddy had to invent the internet so they could post this insane dive for us all to watch over.. and over.. lol!
This is everything that is thrash, punk and hardcore. I know there are insane live performances out there with crowds stretching till the horizon and insane mosh pits, but this! This has the core of it: a smaller completely packed venue, the attitude of the band, the guitar stomp, the most epic stage dive of all time, and the whole atmosphere is just something really special. Something unique happened here.
Yes. There's a small handful of videos where, to me, "something unique happened here." This S.O.D. show & video is one of the best. My most recent is a band I've loved for years, Gulch, playing their last show. "Something unique happened here." th-cam.com/video/pVatb0dfiuw/w-d-xo.html Better sound quality th-cam.com/video/2B-P9s8sWoc/w-d-xo.html
I remember seeing this on VHS when I was 16, and showing it to every friend who came to my house. I don't think I've ever seen anything so crazy in my life. Good old days. Was freaking awesome.
+ babylonthegreat -- thats not true. it is and it isnt. im 48 and i listen to a lot of different music. guitar driven. up tempo. punk influenced...i love SOD...anyway...i still go to a lot of shows...i saw Wavves last winter and the kids were crazy moshing and crowd surfing and stage diving...the band actually demanded it. it was cool...i gave up on that tho a long time ago. i used to love pits....when i was 33 at a dropkick murphys show i got kicked in the head in the pit. i was standing up...it must of been bruce lee or something.... i said fuck this...im too old....ill stand at the back and chill.
It's heavily overdubbed. They openly show them re-recording parts in the studio on the DVD extras lol. Think the only thing that's real are Billy's vocals.
I saw these guy on a cold winters night in 96 at Irving Plaza for a benefit concert. As soon as Scott Not rips into the most heaviest rif in metal, you knew what you were info. What a hell of a show.
The best entrance on stage EVER. No one can do it like Billy Milano. If only these guys would make up and get back together and play SOD shows. We can but dream of that day.
THAT TONE !!!!! when this album came out in 85 it was the Heaviest thing known to man , and in 2022 it still is !! Megaforce Records believed that SOD could be the next Metallica at the time and wanted them to go full time with the band , I think it's cooler it was just a joke side band that CRUSHED.
I have been to plenty of thrash metal shows but damn this crowd is going APESHIT!!!!!! I can't believe Billy dived off into the crowd, that takes some guts!
The trust the singer had in his fans catching him. He's a pretty big dude. And they still caught him! Furthermore he kept singing the whole time. That's an awesome dude there!
This ws hands down the craziest most epic amazing off the charts time in my life. And that STAGE DIVE...bro...that is emblematic of how we lived back then..."that was fu#&in hardcore bro!!!"
Ahh the summer of my 16s! On a cassette in my walkman, I had this incredible album of SOD oin the first side, and on the other side, the dealing with album from DRI.:D
@@ghostkiller427 Not denying they're awesome but a joke band like SOD doesn't even touch a band Demolition Hammer Slayer or even Dark Angel. If they're your favorite that's cool but they're certainly not the best who ever existed.
I´ve been to a lot of concerts in my life so far and I´ve seen many bands from different genres of metal, but honestly the biggest mayhem and the craziest crowd ever was when I saw S.O.D. live... Epic!
I see some people complaining about Billy's dive were it them among the audience, and I think this is where today's generation 'doesn't get it'- they don't understand the power of thrash metal. In the mosh-pit, you are not looking for safety! In the throes of thrash, sweet carnage must ensue! If you can't feel that from them ballsy rifts, then get the #$@! out before you get *blood-clots the size of basketballs!*
+crowviking Still have a scar on my bottom lip and above my right eye to remind me of these awesome times. One was from an Exodus show and the other from Slayer lol. Had plenty more but they all healed up pretty well without leaving scars.
since first time i saw this group i felt in love absolutetly , my favorite trash metal style giving a fuck about anything they should come back and do a final tour all over the world i will be there hands down!
My dad talks about this night all the time and big ole billy being crazy enough to jump from that damn thing, probably my favorite story of his from all the shows he’s been through.
Actually it was the newer Ritz when they were in the old infamous Studio 54 disco. I've been to many dope shows in that spot including this one. All these years later I still remember how packed that show was if you was on the floor you couldn't avoid the pit and it was like that all nite from the opening riffs of Morbid Angels "Fall from grace" to what S.O.D. did and you can't forget Agnostic Front killing shit as usual.
Fucking Milano was an original maniac--masks before Slipknot, stage dives from 10 feet up (ballsy for anyone, much less a band member), and barely getting out of the crowd with his clothes on, all without missing a line! MOSH!
A friend of mine lent me a tape of Speak English or Die that he recorded off another kid's tape and so on so on. I recorded it onto my tape and the sound was crap as shit but it was the coolest thing I've ever listened to.

Absolutely legendary footage, thanks man.
This never EVER gets old.
Well Mr. Jackson, to each their own.
i want my youth back :)
This makes me happy !
🔥🔥🔥🔥
best ever
I fucking love Scott's energy on stage.
Mega stage dive and never missed a lyric. Now that’s talent folks.
how can someone dive like that. he dived against all physical theories and rules.
Because he's BILLY FUCKING MILLANO!!! And you're on his list!!!
How nobody got hurt is a miracle. I would think anyone's gut reaction to a fat man flying at them from that height would be to move out of the way.

No matter how many times I watch this, I still can't believe he actually does it, and nobody gets killed or maimed. A whole other level of badass.

He took down about 20 people lol
if you wanna see a dive similar type in ''acid reign - humanoia ''
Is there anything more heavy than that opening riff? \m/
Larry Best that’s a negative ghost rider
Nope and never will be
Nope!
The shit I took this morning. Chinese food.
No
Scott wrote this in a joke band and it's heavier than any big 4 bullshit. This is HEAVY
no
Wrote it as a joke, ends up being one of the greatest and heaviest metal riffs of all time.
@@mandarin48 yesss fuck big4
Slayer is way heavier
@@444neptune9 heavier not faster
Love when Milano stage dives, and just continuously keeps singing after flattening around 20 people.
2:45 is my fav
@@higler.Bonk lol
😆@@dante666jt
he smacks someone in the head with the mic too 😂
The ultimate stage dive!! I've watched this video 827482 times and it never gets old seeing that dive
I watched that one in person.. And then bought the vcr tape of it to prove it to my family and friends.. Then somebody's buddy had to invent the internet so they could post this insane dive for us all to watch over.. and over.. lol!
I am walking proof of this . I was at this show from the Ritz
Singing while you’re getting thronged by a mob and still going at it, and having to beat someone down the mic while still singing is just pure art.
I was here for this epic show. We caught billy when he dove. My friend is the guy getting hit with the microphone
William Sadousky I was there, too. I was Scott Ian.
Bullshit
So what did your boy say that landed a few punches in the face with the microphone?
When was it

Billy on top of those speakers with the Sargent D mask stagediving is a legendary moment.
"I promise I wont get too rowdy at the show"
*five drinks later*
2:10
Me, too, brothah👍
I was like, he's not going to dive from there, is he?
+72daystar HELL YEAH!!!!!
+72daystar LOL. He did.
+72daystar Haha, that is the first thing I thought too
Shit was badass just hope he dissipated his weight properly. Lol rip to the people of the were skinny kids
I know, right?
1:01 that riff is insane
Ian said it’s the best riff he ever wrote & most proudest of.
Can't be beaten ever
@@meatrocket1 that riff even got literally repeated in Sodom's "Genocide" from M16 album lol
I approve of the year 1992. My body worked just fine back then.
I feel this comment...lol
Fuck Yeah! All those years later! Life was so much better l! Fucking music was so much better and truer. Who’s with me ? ❤️🔥🔥💪🏻💪🏻
I totally remember on MTV headbangers ball when this song was the intro to the show, every time!!!!!!!!!
I remember seeing this on VHS when I was 16, and showing it to every friend who came to my house. I don't think I've ever seen anything so crazy in my life. Good old days. Was freaking awesome.
This is a true pit. I don’t know what they’re doing nowadays with their spinning back kicks and slinging fists but this is the show right here
THIS video keeps me sane.
Walked around headbanging for months with my walkman when I got this TAPE. Essential heavy metal for any true metal head!!!
For those 61 of you who thumbed down this video, Sargent D is on your list.
This concert was insane. The riff for this song is actually quite easy and it was one of the first I learned when I started playing the guitar.
One of the first I learned on bass in the mid 90s.
Basic is brutal
2:47 Billy smashes the head at the unfortunate boy! hardcore ha ha ha ha fantastic! LOL :)
when i first heard audio cassette in 93 i was asking myself: WTF is that tup tup tup tup :D
The most savage stage dive there will ever be. Awesome!!!!
He become immortal at that moment
That stage dive is forever amazing. And kept right on singing.
Brings me back to my youth. I freaking love old thrash punk metal.
Thrash days of youth . So fun. The memories.
One of the best riffs I've ever heard and Scott Ian had a seriously killer guitar tone in this concert. Classic.
this is legendary video,,, still got it on vhs tape!!!!
you are god
Yeah it's f-ing DOPE..😝🤘 I got live at budakahn on VHS too..😮😉 Love it..🔥👊
scott looks like he just snorted a line, billy breaking limbs with no fucks given. fantastic haha.
best live footage ever!!!

I'm 56 when S.O.D. first came out it's MOSH time
IMHO probably the best audio of a live recording ever. Whoever captured this epic performance was epic themselves. Thank you in 2021.
It's heavily overdubbed. They openly show them re-recording parts in the studio on the DVD extras lol. Think the only thing that's real are Billy's vocals.
Greatest stage dive by a band member of all time !!!

That my friends, is a fkn HUGE guitar sound
This dive is unbelievable... I can hardly look at it cause normally it won't end in a good way.
I have been to plenty of thrash metal shows but damn this crowd is going APESHIT!!!!!! I can't believe Billy dived off into the crowd, that takes some guts!
Saw them play their only English gig: pit was the most savage I've ever been in.
Amazing.
Billy’s dive was crazy!
The trust the singer had in his fans catching him. He's a pretty big dude. And they still caught him! Furthermore he kept singing the whole time. That's an awesome dude there!
The world needs more of this!
I’m 51 now
This is my class
This is thee jam I retired out of the pit
The youngsters f’d me up that night, Luna out!!!!
Good times👊
This ws hands down the craziest most epic amazing off the charts time in my life. And that STAGE DIVE...bro...that is emblematic of how we lived back then..."that was fu#&in hardcore bro!!!"
I'm somewhere in that mess
Back in the day the ritz was a great place to see a show
that tone is fuckin killer man /,,/
that really kicks ass!!!
That fucking strut Ian does always brings a smile to my face, so majestic... In a metal sort of way. 🤘
For some reason, I decided to show my wife and two daughters (4 and 8) this video. They weren't quite sure what to make of it, hahaha.
So classic.
Nobody is more Metal than Scott Ian...😀😀
Lilkers bass sound is just solid.
80s thrash can’t ever be matched. Cheers from Norway!

70 years later and sergeant D is back!!!!
It’s been almost 80 years now and my cock is still hard
There's no Spiders on the stage! What am I supposed to fire my BFG at?
I got the refference
My personal introduction to thrash was these guys. Legends.
Between the heavy guitar riffs and that insane stage dive, this is the best moment in metal. I mean it!
2020 and this is still as awesome as ever!
My dad talks about this night all the time and big ole billy being crazy enough to jump from that damn thing, probably my favorite story of his from all the shows he’s been through.
I watched this dvd so many times
This most be the most insane concert ever
Holy shit! Dude weighs like 250 pounds! He jumped off a stack 30 feet up in the air, and landed safely on the audience!
It's listed as live in Bodokan....but that show was at the old Ritz in NYC.
it was intentionally labeled as Live at Budokan
That was the joke...
Johnny Neptune lol...I cant believe I actually missed that. I gotta admit the real "live at Bodokan" was a great album too.
Actually it was the newer Ritz when they were in the old infamous Studio 54 disco. I've been to many dope shows in that spot including this one.

Back in the Old Glory of stage diving love it done it been there wish we could do it again
All things metal right here!
I have to come back and watch this every few months to remember everything's going to be ok...
I saved my lunch money to buy the ticket for shows like this in the 80's...
Over the past 10 or so years I bet Ive watched this at least 300 times lol
What an awesome live performance talk about energy
This is some of the best live footage I have ever seen, WOW!!
Epic song of my youth,Billy is a nut jumping that high,loved this!! SOD was a staple in a young thrashers life and still has the power!! 🤙
Holy Crap, in 2:45 he hit the guy with the microphone! Fucking Awesome!
"Knock, knock, knock!!!" Three times.
There’s a price to pay
Thank you. This never gets old.
I would easily sing this at a Talent show. Sargent D and the S.O.D 🤟
