Josh Homme hat in einem Radio-Interview mit dem britischen DJ Zane Lowe den wahren Grund für den Rausschmiss von Nick angegeben. Josh hatte Nick aus der Band geworfen, da dieser zuvor seine Freundin verprügelt haben soll.

Josh äußert sich in dieser Hinsicht auch auf der offiziellen Seite der Band:
“To set the record straight: Zane lowe did not push, coerce or manipulate me into speaking the truth about my reasons for firing Nick Oliveri. I alone decided to lift the weight of others responsibilities off of my shoulders. I intended to discuss my recent sentencing by the court, but because every situation in life is tethered to another, it became much more. When the truth came to light for me, I thought that the immediate firing of Nick would be explanation enough. I was nieve. Now my only hope is that the revealing of this situation does not inflict pain the way internalizing it has, for all involved. Conspiracy & adjectives be damned. I will never speak of this again.”

Damit dürfte sich die Diskussionen um Nicks Rausschmiß wohl endgültig geklärt haben.
