bei visions stand heut dass sich drummer und bassist nick oliveri von der band getrennt hat! ich find sie hätten sich nach dem miserablen letzten album ganz auflösen sollen! bäh songs for the deaf...da lob ich mir rated R ;D
Die Besetzung bei QOTSA war doch eh immer ziemlich variabel. Außerdem find ich Olivieris andere Band Mondo Generator auch ziemlich gut. Auch wenn sie sich wirklich aufgelöst haben, die bleiben uns alle erhalten!
"A number of incidents occurring over the last 18 months have led to the decision that the two (Homme & Oliveri) can no longer maintain a working partnership in the band."
Lt. MTV wird der Basser der Queens wahrscheinlich ein Herr Van Conner von den Screaming Trees. Josh Homme hat aber noch nichts verlauten lassen.
JOSH HOMME is ploughing ahead with new QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE material despite the dramatic events of the past week.
As previously reported, Josh asked longtime member and friend Nick Oliveri to leave the band last week in undisclosed circumstances.
Now, in an interview with Billboard, he has vowed to keep working, saying: "Im not in any fucking massive hurry but Im a workaholic. I dont want to let 16 songs just sit warming in the oven until they taste shitty.
"Right now I just want to write for a while to beat (the new songs) or see if I can. I think its the best shit Ive ever written."
He also reiterated his regret at Oliveris departure: "Ive been Nicks shield for years. When youre a tornado, you never see the damage. You just move on to the next town, plain and simple, Nick is the most bad-ass, intense individual I've every played with. He's the real deal. He's completely rock'n'roll without one ounce of fake in his whole body and I love that. I've always loved that and respected it but I've also protected it. I'm more worn down about it than anything. There's no question whether I've had loyalty or not.
"But I can't do this in Queens with Nick anymore. Do I want to play with Nick? You bet your sweet ass. Do I want to go on tour with Nick for two years? No. Do I want someone to walk into my room and turn the stereo on all the way and split; that sort of idea of living? No! No. I'm sick of it. I can't take it. Sorry."
