[UPDATE: On July 12, 2011, Nick Oliveri provoked a 5 hour standoff with the SWAT team in Hollywood, CA after an intense fight with his girlfriend. The police reportedly confiscated a loaded rifle from the scene. I suppose that proves my point.]
Nick Oliveri is best known for his bass and vocal contributions to Queens of the Stone Age, but he will always stick out to me as the brazen bastard who chucked beer bottles at his fans’ beaming faces. That’ll teach ‘em to love you too much.
Rumored to rough up his women, remembered in Rio for taking the stage in his tattooed birthday suit, and revered by Dave Grohl as being the most reliable bassist he’s ever played with, regardless of the quantity of booze and dope, Nick Oliveri is one feral motherfucker. He is also alive and well (fucked in the head) at age 39. This song comes from his primary project, Mondo Generator.
