Thanks for the info. I had a feeling Nick's BS finally caught up with him.

I saw QOTSA w/ ...Trail of Dead last year in LA. Fantastic show. Josh is truly a rocknroll guitar stud. Nick's bass will be missed, but I can honestly say I won't miss the obiligatory Oliveri coke & booze-fueled scream session on each QOTSA album.

Controlled power and agression is the key.

Yeah, I can deal with everything except for disrespecting the fans. I don't personally endorse the self destructive lifestyles, but as Josh said, it's cool until it starts affecting people personally. Hurting fans and causing your bandmates trouble is no good.
