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!
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!
@@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 .
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.

@@tennesseesteve7949 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.

+ 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.
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.
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.
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.
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´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!
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!
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.
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
You can't do miracles with overdubbing a live (if you start trying to mute frequencies to decrease specific instruments' volumes the sound quality becomes awful, etc). It means the original material was pretty solid to start with
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!
Still watching in 2019. I remember watching this on the MTV Headbangers Ball when I was a teenager. Amazing, such energy. Today’s efforts cannot even come close
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.
I just stumbled on this. I'm 50 and grew up with Charlie and Scott and Anthrax. I'm a drummer and Charlie is my #1. Seen Pantera last year and Charlie killed it. Aug 7th 2024
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.
From first time i heard this on headbanger's ball and its playing over trains crashing and smashing up until today 2023 this song (riff) is the epitome of heavy! Back when it came out it was like what is that and i want more. Many people have put SOD in a category but you cant because it has a little bit of everything in it!!

Fuckin righteous footage bro, thanks
Absolutely legendary footage, thanks man.
I fucking love Scott's energy on stage.
Mega stage dive and never missed a lyric. Now that’s talent folks.
Fuck Yeah! All those years later! Life was so much better l! Fucking music was so much better and truer. Who’s with me ? ❤️🔥🔥💪🏻💪🏻
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
@@BatticiaThis looks legendary . I’m new to S.O.D but ‘Speak English or die’ is in my top 10 albums of all time. Consider yourself lucky.
My friend got the cassette back in 85'. Was a sophomore in high school. What an era for music.
I totally remember on MTV headbangers ball when this song was the intro to the show, every time!!!!!!!!!
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.

God bless Scott Ian... he IS the big 5
For those 61 of you who thumbed down this video, Sargent D is on your list.
You forgot to mention that Sergeant D is going to back the car over their grandma and dissect their cat and make them wish they didn't exist lol.
I watched this dvd so many times
Billy on top of those speakers with the Sargent D mask stagediving is a legendary moment.
I was listening to this back in the 80s...but seeing it live is insane.
Never heard of this until recently. Maybe this didn't reach the UK coz i would have loved it and so would every other metalhead i knew.
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
Best way to wake up in the morning
Holy crap! I have never in my life seen someone that size do a flip off a PA , and actually survive. Holy sh#t that was rad as f#%k! Lol
Imagine the poor motherfuckers he landed on.... lmao....
@@tennesseesteve7949 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 took down about 20 people lol
if you wanna see a dive similar type in ''acid reign - humanoia ''
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..🔥👊
That stage dive is forever amazing. And kept right on singing.
One of the best riffs I've ever heard and Scott Ian had a seriously killer guitar tone in this concert. Classic.
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 😂
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.
I'm sure somebody had trash can head the next day...haha

@@patkillszombies K dude, thats awesome. Now stop repeating yourself. Lol!
Good times. I was there. Nowhere to hide.
Brings me back to my youth. I freaking love old thrash punk metal.
Thrash days of youth . So fun. The memories.
best live footage ever!!!
mosh or leave, thats how thrash should work, i feel you
+ 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.
The most savage stage dive there will ever be. Awesome!!!!
He become immortal at that moment
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👊
Walked around headbanging for months with my walkman when I got this TAPE. Essential heavy metal for any true metal head!!!
The world needs more of this!
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
@@tomzadvydas1758 1992 ish I believe
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.
What a time to be alive!
I approve of the year 1992. My body worked just fine back then.
I feel this comment...lol
Never gets old! This song always gets you pumped to start the day or to begin working out!
Billy’s dive was crazy!
I still love watching this entire show. This has got to be the most high energy badass show I’ve seen. It never fails to bring a smile to my face.
Greatest stage dive by a band member of all time !!!
All the while the audience without a doubt....catch thier singer!
No doubt 😂
This brutal display of raw energy blew my mind ....30+ years ago? We grow older but seeing this makes me feel soo happy. We've had a lot of fun 😊
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?
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.
80s thrash can’t ever be matched. Cheers from Norway!
That my friends, is a fkn HUGE guitar sound
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
This dive is unbelievable... I can hardly look at it cause normally it won't end in a good way.
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
Saw them play their only English gig: pit was the most savage I've ever been in.
Amazing.
That fucking strut Ian does always brings a smile to my face, so majestic... In a metal sort of way. 🤘
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.
It's not real, that's why only a few know what it is
This is some of the best live footage I have ever seen, WOW!!
The good Ole days man those where the best years ever .
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
Miss those days ❤️❤️
Was für geile Riffs - auch nach 30 Jahren einfach super 👍
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!!!"
That riff is hypnotizing
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!
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!! 🤙
I'm 56 when S.O.D. first came out it's MOSH time
THAT was the most epic stage dive I have ever seen! Ballsy.
Thank you. This never gets old.
I'm somewhere in that mess
Back in the day the ritz was a great place to see a show
those were the days...
Back in the Old Glory of stage diving love it done it been there wish we could do it again
2020 and this is still as awesome as ever!
Absolute Classic!
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!
What an awesome live performance talk about energy
I have to come back and watch this every few months to remember everything's going to be ok...
Oh my fucking god, it's brilliant
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.
Had this on VHS back in the day. I never get sick of this.
Best riff ever made in the world for sure
Over the past 10 or so years I bet Ive watched this at least 300 times lol
Between the heavy guitar riffs and that insane stage dive, this is the best moment in metal. I mean it!
_Damn,_ Billy... Nice dive.🤘
scott looks like he just snorted a line, billy breaking limbs with no fucks given. fantastic haha.
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
Stéphane Bouchard best fucking days of my life.🤘🏼🤘🏼
Haha i did too Stephane! Would've been around 1990.. Still have cassette somewhere, SOD & DRI
I love the thrash zone tape from D.R.I!!
And Animosity by Corrosion of Conformity...
Wow, this sounds 100x better than the record, all instruments included the vocals. Give a medal to whoever recorded and mixed this gem.
It's overdubbed, meaning they went into the studio and re-recorded parts before they released the "live" recording. They show this in the DVD extras.
You can't do miracles with overdubbing a live (if you start trying to mute frequencies to decrease specific instruments' volumes the sound quality becomes awful, etc). It means the original material was pretty solid to start with

Love the crunching guitars,hits you in the nuts.love this family..! Louie Venice bch..

How did i never hear about this? this is reign in blood heavy. I would have loved this back in the day.
God I love SOD so much this is one of the best live footages ever to exist without a doubt!
This is the winner of everything
Still watching in 2019. I remember watching this on the MTV Headbangers Ball when I was a teenager. Amazing, such energy. Today’s efforts cannot even come close
Going to be written down in history books 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾

It seems some of the best bands that create the best music always can't get along and they break up.
@@angel3213 very true. It is a shame because they are a legendary band.
Good Times. I would have liked to have gone to that show.
May 16th 2024 1:12am and this still bloody rocks, whose with me, state your date
June 18, 2024. I came back for the 100th time just to see the stage dive again!
June 29 2024! I come here often.

August 30 2024 ya it still rocks Billy is the man a legend.
Simply the best riff of all the times (4 Tones)! I was there!
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
That pit looks insane.....those were days !
One of the most bad ass riffs that’s ever been written
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.
70 years later and sergeant D is back!!!!
It’s been almost 80 years now and my cock is still hard

Wow. That was beyond amazing.
This brings back memories 🤘🏻
At 2:47 was always my favorite
