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.
