Josh kicks Nick Oliveri out of the band!
10 Feb 2004


Josh Homme has kicked Nick Oliveri out of Queens of the Stone Age,
PlayLouder can exclusively report.

Josh is fed up of Nick's partying, and has decided he doesn't want him in
the band anymore. Also gone is occasional collaborator Mark Lanegan, also
known for his acclaimed work with the Screaming Trees, and his own band, The
Mark Lanegan Band.

As Oliveri wasn't present on the first album, and Lannegan is only a recent
collaborator, Josh Homme has the rights to their name. All of the players
are working on seperate projects right now.

A source said "it was their last tour in Australia that gave [Nick] the
push, it was all out of control. But it's not hard to believe they are ready
to split after 19 months of solid touring basically. That's rock and roll."



This is sooo not cool. :tcry:

I guess they've been....DETHRONED?!?! HIYOOOOOOOOOO!

HELL, THIS SUCKS!

Queens of the Stone Age were one of the greatest rock bands EVER

At least I still have "Funeral for a Freind"

Relax, imagine how much money the record company will earn with two bands that descends from this one instead of just one :P

This wasn't officially confirmed, was it? I still hope it's just a rumour.

Man they were like a Grunge super group. They kicked sooo much ass.

DAMMIT!
They haven't split up but Nick Oliveri has left the band. And without him it's definitely not the same... :flaming:

well after being only a 1 hit wonder it was gonna happen sooner or later. im surprized it took this long to happen. they had alot of potential to be a great band. oh well

I loathe the song "No One Knows" with a mad passion, but just the opposite for the song "Go With the Flow."

I'm not too disappointed about this....

I got hooked on them because of the No One Knows song... although I can't really stand the music video for it.

Go with the Flow RAWKS.... I also like Quick and to the Pointles...

Yah Nick is definately a character. He practically makes the band!
This is so sad.... sigh...
As if Josh doesn't party hard. Look at the guy... come on, he musta been horribly hungover when they shot parts of the No One Knows video...

I wonder who they will replace Nick with...

Shreddette, what other bands do you like?

the split of the queens of the stone age reminds me of what happend to guns n roses who also was one of the best rock band in the world.
when axel kicked slash out in 1996 that was the time guns n roses where no longer guns n roses it was just axel roses left its to bad.
now recently buckethead has left guns n roses after four years in the band wil we never see a new "guns n roses" album. :-?

:sweatdro:

We've got some wild stuff going on here. Wild stuff.
