also played on 8 June 1999 at Club Citta, completing a 3-night stint at the legendary venue. "Not"/"Momo"/"Taint"/"The Camel Boy"/"Diamonds and Rust"/"Anti-Procrastination Song"Ĭomparison with bootlegs from this era showed that the live tracks were recorded live at Club Citta in Kawasaki on 5 June 1999, except for United Forces part I & part II, that were recorded at Club Citta on 7 June 1999. "March of the S.O.D."/"Sargent D and the S.O.D." There are also several non-humorous tunes on here, but they're pretty much in the same vein, being heavy, fast, short, and chromatic in scale, except for the opening instrumental of "March of the S.O.D.".īonus track listing 1992 re-issue bonus track #Ģ000 re-issue live bonus tracks recorded in Tokyo, 1999 # And some songs are still relevant today even, such as "Fuck the Middle East", in regards to mentioning hijacked planes and all. There are also actual songs with a sense of humor included, such as "Pre-Menstrual Princess Blues", having nagging, screaming vocals representing the woman in distress along a simple, chromatic guitar riff (which turns to thrash metal during the chorus) "Milk", also being mostly thrash in regards to being out of milk and substituting breakfast cereal for “wheat thins and beer”, and others that even take swipes at their own metal culture, like mentioning Motley Crue in "Fist Banging Mania" and poser bands in "Douche Crew". Some are also a mix, like with "What’s That Noise", which was possibly going to be a song of some sort, but after every time the band played a measure, the music would stop and a big noise would permeate through the speakers, leading to vocalist Milano begging the band members to “stop playing the fucking song” and yelling at producer Alex Perialas to “fix the fucking thing!” as this happened repeatedly. "Hey Gordy!" is also only five seconds long, just consisting of the phrase of “hey Gordy, give me a shot!”, followed by some guitar noise, and "The Ballad of Jimi Hendrix" (four seconds in length) just has the first few notes of "Purple Haze", ending with vocalist Billy Milano saying "you're dead". The majority of the release’s content is thrash metal, although some pieces are just quick jokes, rather than really being “songs”, such as "Anti-Procrastination Song", being only three seconds long, with just a few guitar notes, the name of the song being yelled out, and a drum roll.
