QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE's JOSH HOMME Comes Clean On OLIVERI Firing
- July 6, 2005
|
|
Billboard.com is reporting that Josh Homme has revealed for the first time why he fired longtime friend Nick Oliveri from QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE in 2004. Speaking to Zane Lowe tonight (July 6) on BBC Radio 1, Homme said he ordered Oliveri to leave the band after he independently confirmed Oliveri had been physically abusive to his girlfriend. "A couple years ago, I spoke to Nick about a rumor I heard," Homme recalled. "I said, 'If I ever find out that this is true, I can't know you, man.' Because music and my life are the same thing, there's no rules until something massive happens. [ Nick] was over here [in England] with [ QOTSA vocalist Mark] Lanegan and something happened again, and he almost didn't make it out of the country. That's not music anymore."

This reminds me of my good friend Bil Maylor. He did the same thing and we had to kick him out of our band, Twatch. It's a damn shame. Just uncalled for...

but some people need a beat-down themselves. There is some blame to go to the women if they don't leave though.
By the way, I like BLS, don't live in a trailer or beat my woman. Stereotyping fans of a band doesn't prove anything. I know some people you would never think were metalheads that are.

Maybe he didn't want a pussy ass wife beater in his band. I wouldn't either. FTR-I love BLS, don't live in a trailer, and would never think of laying a violent hand on my wife. I also would never stay with anyone that would piss me off that much. Both are idiots. Her for staying and him for doing it. So if he did do it (we are only getting one side here) he is both an idiot and a pussy and I wouldn't want him in my band either if that is the case.

We all have known or know of some stupid bitch that stays with their abusive "man" for whatever reason. These women are keeping themselves in that predicament even though they can get out and find a better man. I say they deserve what they get. If they are that stupid to stay with the guy then they deserve to get the fuck beat out of them.
As with Oliver being fired, I can understand that. It's hard to turn the other cheek if you know one of your friends is beating up his girl as stupid as she may be.

No, I think you are the stupid one. It's not a matter of having guts, it's a matter of having brains. If a girl can't say "I need to leave this guy if he hits me again." then she lacks any common sense. I have no pity for weak females or anyone that takes beatings from their partner and don't leave the "relation" as you said.
They deserve what they get. They just have to learn the hard way.

its not that easy considering what metallideth just said so stop being a heartless prick(sob) who think women deserve to get beat up if they are weak
now bls nomad, the bls fans sure tend to be biased, if this was zakk we were speaking about and he kicked someone out of his band for beating up his girlfriend or wife, i know for a fact that all the bls fans will be "he did the right thing kicking him out we dont want him in our chapter and shit like that" now im not bashing bls fans but come on grow up have a heart for once so what if you dont like the band in the post at least have some decency to recognize that regardless whether you are a fan or not what he did was wrong and that the woman is not to blame (this is mostly directed to bls nomad)
so bls fans stop being that bls fans and be human for a moment(not directed to all bls fans, just some of who are extremely biased if zakk is involved in a new post)

Josh Homme is a man with all kind of morals huh? Especially after messing around with a married woman. This guy is a dick hole who make music for tendy artsy fartsy metrosexual types. "yeah man like Queens are sooooo cool, like wow.". Queesn is exactly right.

Clueless motherfuckers. Any man that beats a woman is a pussy. While yes I agree with the bro's before ho's sometimes it isn't like that. Who knows the full story. But I don't care who you are, beating a woman is not fucking cool and he was right for booting him out. Josh and that Dwarf guy got into a brawl over it so there is more to the story. Jesus, grow a dick guys and for once stand up for what is right. Never should anyone condone hitting a lady. Plain and simple.

All of you pussy whipped feminists need to pull you head out of your vaginas and realize that shelters were created for this purpose. If a woman can't afford to leave or has kids than GO TO A FUCKING SHELTER.
Btw, are there any literate people on this thread? If anybody for one second thought that I advocated men beating women then you need to go back to school and learn how to read without being subjective. Saying "stupid chicks that stay with an abusive guy deserve to get beaten to death" is not the same as saying "I think all women deserve to get beaten if they step out of line". But some dumbfucks are still reading something that isn't there into my comments. People like SHAD who are cannot fucking read correctly are also part of the problem by defending these weak bitches. By defending abused women who don't leave the abusive guy you are only affirming her actions and thus, she stays with him. So SHAD, quit being a closet feminist and grow some balls.!!!

what if she hit him first? is it cool for him to hit her back then or is it some bullshit excuse that the girl doesnt pack as much of a punch so it doesnt count? there may be more to the story than what you read
