Hello fans of grot-boogiests, Queens of the Stone Age! As you know, trouble has followed this band around for some time now, not that anyone minds. You can pass it off as being ‘rock ‘n’ roll’ can’t you? Like they’re some kind of outlaws.
Well, since Nick Oliveri left the band, things have been pretty quiet in Camp QOTSA. That’s not to say he’s managed to stay out of trouble.
In fact, he’s traded playing gigs naked for getting into all kindsa trouble which could see his hulking body hauled to prison, where someone who looks just like him – only scaled up – will most certainly make him a prison bitch. What’s he been doing this time?
Well, The Quietus report that last month, he got his bass-playing ass arrested after a two-hour standoff with police. And a SWAT team. That’d be the police who have guns for a living.
That’s almost impressive in its recklessness.
The events that unfolded could well see the Kyuss/QOTSA man booted into jail for 15 years. That’s older than most of Michael Jackson’s boyfriends put together!
Apparently, the cops were called over a ‘domestic disturbance’ between Oliveri and his girlfriend. Essentially, it seems like our bass playing lunatic was holding her hostage. When the police finally forced their way in, they (allegedly) found a fully-loaded rifle, a whole load of cocaine and methamphetamines.
Great.
Oliveri has been charged with one misdemeanor count of resisting, obstructing or delaying a police officer, two counts of possession of a controlled substance with a firearm, and two counts of possession of a controlled substance and no counts of being able to play in time.

And one count of failure to outfit a sock a la RHCP.
I, a muppet who has endured life whilst quite naked, find this to be shameful.

It’s a one of those sad facts that the man who was an essential ingredient in two of the best albums of the 00’s is a bit of a douche. Just when it looked like a proper QOTSA reunion couldn’t get any less likely…
