This space is for you. Have you seen M.O.D. on their recent North American Tour and do you want others to know what it was like? You can send your reviews and pictures to me and maybe I will add them here.
The first review is from Jon Riesenfeld. He saw M.O.D. in Houston. The second review was send to me by Dave Giffin. He saw them in Phoenix.

FITZGERALD'S - HOUSTON Well, I saw M.O.D. in Houston and let me tell you they rocked!!! The show kicked some serious ass. It lasted about 67 minutes. There were 3 other bands, the first 2 were ok, but the third one "New Society of Anarchists" was awesome. They were a great metal band, and I think they can get big in the genre of music. Billy produced their latest album too.
I had never had the chance to see M.O.D. before so I didn't know what to expect. They played old songs only. Billy said something like: "After 15 years of playing these songs and pissing people off, after this we're not playing them anymore." He also said: "There comes a time when it's time to move on and tonight is it".
I had someone take a picture of me and him after the show, and I got to chat with him for a few minutes. He signed my USA for M.O.D. cd on the cover. I was very happy to hear all those songs from USA for M.O.D, it's my favorite album of theirs. Here's a setlist for the show:
Aren't You Hungry
Get a real job
Don't Feed the Bears
Spandex Enormity
Bubble Butt (*)
Jim Gordon
Objection/Dead End
Highway to Hell (**)
Ruptured Nuptuals
Short but Sweet
Bubble Butt (***)
Step by Step
Imported Society
AIDS
Ode to Harry
Theme
Bubble Butt (****)
Hate Tank
United Forces
(*) They went through the song 2 times, then stopped and Billy introduced it again!! And they played it 2 more times.
(**) Sang part of the chorus of the AC/DC song.
(***) Yes they played it again, they seemed to really be having fun with this song. This time they had 2 girls from the audience on stage shaking their asses.
(****) They started playing the song again, and Billy only sang "Bubble Butt" and then they stopped.
Feel free to post my comments on your site if you want.

MASON JAR - PHOENIX, AZ M.O.D., the only band I paid to see, but 'Superjack' & 'New Society Of Anarchists' were there too. 'New Society Of Anarchists' was good, they have a definate hardcore sound that reminds me of some of the later M.O.D. works (i.e. Dictated Aggression) and also they don't play the same cord over and over so that was good too. I guess Billy Milano also produced their forth-coming album 'The Few, The Proud, The Brutal' which might explain some of their similarities. The guitarist from 'New Society Of Anarchists' also sold me my M.O.D. shirt which was kinda weird but I guess everybody needs to make a little extra cash now and then.
Speaking of M.O.D., Billy is a great showman. They started with 'Aren't You Hungry?' and ended with the S.O.D. classic 'United Forces'. Milano yelled at me in the beginning because they had the setlist printed out on pieces of paper and I was leaning over the rail trying to read it. He yelled half-jokingly: "You know who I hate, motherfuckers who read the setlist before the songs are even played." He then grabbed the setlist and put it over on an amp in the corner. Then Milano kept talking about this girl who looked like Jennifer Lopez, yelling insults and mooning the crowd, man it was great!
Anyway the new drummer Kevin Talley and bassist Sparky Voyles from Dying Fetus played great and guitarist Joe Affe hitting every M.O.D. note and all are worthy of carrying on the M.O.D. name. The show was awesome and I WILL DEFINATLY SEE THEM AGAIN if/when they come back through AZ. Anyway, I stole the setlist that Billy was yelling at me about, so I have the songs played:
Aren't You Hungry?
Get A Real Job
Don't Feed The Bears
Spandex Enormity
U.S. Dreams
Bubble Butt (*)
Short But Sweet
Jim Gordon
Objection/Dead End
Bubble Butt (*)
Short But Sweet
