They are simply a real band. Maybe they need a new producer or whatever engineer. Studio work is always just a polished up representation. The beauty can be hidden behind the sound and the vocalist's input is dampened. There are so many artists and bands that don't sound good live for various reasons but live and acoustic is really demanding and all the clips I've seen of QOTSA they are relaxed and professional.
This is just something else, i have been listening to this track in various different forms for almost 10 years and it never grows old. Love QOTSA, they really have something to give. Thanx Misskittykitty for sharing this with us.
They will be recording soon i think. After Reading and Leeds Josh went and finished recording and producing the new Eagles Of Death Metal album. now they are on tour, Josh is just finishing stuff up with Arctic Monkeys new album. I read in NME some time back that he took Stone Age out to the Desert Studios to write some new stuff to record at some point during this year. We will know soon when they are back recording. I think a new tour will come around some time next year.
No don't... It would screw up the band, because Nick and Josh can't be the same together since Nick beat up his girlfriend with his bass (apparently), and the best thing about Nick was he and Josh's chemistry which led to such great songs.
The problem with Mike Shuman is perhaps his looks and stature - he looks abit like all these up-their-own-arse "indie" bands that flood the charts nowadays and get musically dwarfed by QOTSA ... same with that guy on keys. Nick stood out, but I still think his disposal was right, if only morally...
2/3rds not many people can pull of an acoustic bass and i'm sure Oliveri is not one of them. It's just not his style. This is one of the absolute greatest QOTSA songs ever!!!
well.... i think woman beaters are scum...however crazy things happen some times.. im not excusing it or condoning it at all but kicking him outa the band maayyyy have been a little extreme, i solid smash in the jaw squares things out licely id say, then you move on and continue making sick music... i meen we shouldnt be punished for his mistake. thats just how i feel though.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
It would be sick.
And people, Good Comment does NOT mean Agree or Disagree. Voting down: "qotsa in so weak without oliveri.a reunion would be magic." just because you don't agree is just stupid.
i think nick deserved it(c'mon,i would not like to be friend of a girlbeater),but time has passed,new QOTSA sucks,its queens lite now,nick has learned the lesson and josh and him are friends again,i would realy like a reunion cause he realy rocks ass
Well don't know about you but i've just watched a clip of a great musician & vocalist at work, who cares about the personal issues.
Consider this: Ozzy Osbourne regularly beat his wife whilst on drink & drugs, & nearly killed her at one point, but he's regarded as a national treasure?!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
so he hit a girl who cares we have all done it at some point mabye out of boredom or hornyness or some shit but i still think nick rocks. who knows mabye the girl tried to cut his balls off or something??
whatever happened in his personal life is only his job..we love his music and his style and that's all!we have to judge him as a musician without being prejudiced by his faults in his personal life..finally, i believe that nick's absence is very harmful for the band(as for the music quality).
Except the incident involved Josh's (now) wife. So it is a very real issue for Josh obviously. It's not like he hit some random chick. Anyone with a GF would know that shit wouldn't fly, let alone someone you are married to wanting you to keep a guy like that around. Deal with it, Nick wrote some good songs but as far as playing bass goes Shuman does just as good if not better and can match Nicks screaming vocals effortlessly.
No, she was never with Nick. But she's married to Josh obviously. I don't know if they were dating at the time or not but it really doesn't matter, Josh loves the chick and Nick beat her.
@chirp08 wasn't it with his own girlfriend, i don't know where you got that one from. surely josh would want to kill him if it was brody, and i miss nick because he was exciting and a character on the stage, mikey isn't
Oliverian shall hence forth be an adjective used to describe behavior relating to: Being girlfriend beating scum, being devoid of musical talent, being a drug fiend and an egotistical cock (i.e. changing the name from Mondo Generator to Nick Oliveri and the Mondo Generator)...well, not sure how popular it'll be, but I'll use it, haha.
The name changed because the original Mondo Generator line-up changed. You idiot. Nick Oliveri did what he did, but his musicianship cannot be tuned down 'cause of that. And ALL of the use drugs.
Get your facts right before shouting them out loud.
nick was making too much problems with the band,josh said that he had some kind of destructive behavior and was messing in the shows,this was one of the reasons for him lefting the band(sorry about the english problems)

man u are totally right.with nick playing the bass they were the greatest but when nick left u can here the damm changes in their songs.for example era vulgaris(i dont know if this is right written)their last album sucked.i also hope that nick will return but there is no chance to do this. he is with Mondo Generator now and i dont think that he will come back! :(
SHIT, I LOVE NICK OLIVERI. I love Mondo, but no one can deny he + J.Ho = The Magic. Whatever happened between them, I hope one day they reconcile and play together again.
Wrong - every album/time to time josh homme will change the band members round/get new ones so they always have a fresh sound. Being friends with dave grohl he invited him to drum fot the band over the songs for the deaf period, BAM
p.s cregmac is a cunt, u may not be dead but ur mum is
i used to shoot up to this video, dope and lots of coke, like every ten minutes(coke), lol, you sound like a bunch of youngsters, its cool though, its crazy, i saw them in 99, and remember them as kyuss(tapes) and also masters of reality...
