Former QOTSA bassist Nick Oliveri facing up to 15 years in prison | News | NME.COM
Short version...Nick Oliveri arrested for coke, meth and guns. His girlfriend said he repeatedly hit her the day before and she called the cops because he refused to let her leave the property.
Yeah, I can see why a lot of you QOTSA and Kyuss fans really like this guy and hate QOTSA now. He sounds like a wonderful guy. Hope he gets double digit prison time.

But, yeah. I'm a huge QOTSA fan but Nick deserves what he gets coming to him.

Some guys seem to score better if not stellar success and fail to build upon it and sadly, go the opposite direction.

|  | Yes I'm from GA, but I don't wear a NASCAR T-shirt | | Join Date: Jul 2009 Location: Atlanta, GA | | | Yep, being a wife beating drug addict certainly deserves one a lengthy stay in prison(IMO).
Given My feelings on both matters, I have no sympathy for this guy. Maybe spending some time around a bunch of other creeps, surrounded by four walls, three hots and a cot, and an economy that works off the bartering of cigarettes and contraband will be good for him.
Funny thing to read this AM, as i had a dream last night that I was battling an army of Meth-heads ala 80's Charles Bronson, Deathwish style....... |

Now the Mondo Generator fans. THEY'RE the ones you should be calling out. I hear they're both pretty upset...  |

| | | | Sad to see he's made so many terrible decisions. Also sad to see how many people on the internet see this as an opportunity to point out how much better they are than him. |

I can't help but notice your avatar having James Brown in it. I take it you are a bit of a fan. Have you heard about his long list of run ins, with the law?
I am not defending Nick, I just find the irony amusing |

He did the crime, now do the time.
Maybe he can win the bass chair in prison.  | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
