Mondo Generator Officialy Drop Off Of Ozzfest Tour

posted Jul 26, 2007 at 6:04 AM by Diamond Oz.  (9 Comments)

MONDO GENERATOR, the group led by former QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE bassist Nick Oliveri, has officially dropped off this year's Ozzfest due to "matters beyond the band's control." A statement from Nick Oliveri reads as follows:

"It's very disappointing but MONDO GENERATOR has been forced to cancel the remaining dates we have booked with Ozzfest and CIRCUS DIABLO. We tried everything in our power to make things work so that we could remain on tour, but unfortunately due to matters out of my control, it is impossible for us to continue touring at this time. We're very sorry to all the fans that will not be able to see us on these remaining dates and promise that we will be back soon. We would like to thank Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne, as well as the entire Ozzfest crew for giving us the chance to play Ozzfest 2007. We'd also like to thank the fans that came out to show their support at the shows."

I fidn it interesting that as soon as a band drops off of SOTU, a band now drops off Ozzfest. No comment of the actual story though.

Stephen, don't believe that Nick beat his girlfriend. The only source for that rumour is Josh Homme. If that is the reason that he fired Nick, then why did he originally give different reasons for firing him and say that him and Nick were still "bros" even after the firing? Could it be because Nick criticized the Queens album and Josh was trying to save face for the poor reviews that the Queens tour was getting? If Nick was abusing his girlfriend, why were there no charges against him?

Let's not abandon Nick just because his egomaniacal former bandmate hates him.
