Why would you agree to enter a relationship with that guy, knowing his history with women?

Drugs and domestic violence, bad stuff. I can't imagine living in a country where I can be put in jail for having a loaded rifle in my house.

obviously the guy is getting what he deserves. sucks he had to be so self destructive, though. he was good with QotSA. I personally prefer Mikey Shoes, though. just as good a player, and better tone. seems like a cool guy, too. Nick's voice is really the only thing he had going for him in comparison to Michael, I suppose.

Yeah, Nick could do lead vocals. Even though, I quite like Mikeys backing vocals.

I loved Nick in QOTSA - to me, they weren`t the same after his departure. He was, imo, a better-than-average rock bassist, and his vocals / writing were great. Unfortunate for fans that he has to be such a douche in life.

+100

My exact thoughts. However, I do think Mikey Shoes is just as talented as Nick and this current lineup is their best yet. I'm looking forward to the new album.

^yep! seeing them live with Michael a few months back totally changed my mind about Michael. that dude was utter BEAST on those four strings. also, his tone was to freaking DIE FOR!

I don't think it was just the rifle that put him in jaiil. It was also the meth and beating on his girl.

A loaded rifle + drugs in the same house as that loaded rifle = not so good times with Mr. Law.

You can have a loaded rifle in your house. You just can't have a loaded rifle in your house as well as cocaine and methamphetamine, and it especially doesn't look good if your significant other calls the police cause you were beating her. The authorities tend to frown on that sort of thing.
