Kyuss Lives With Plan B Following Oliveri's Arrest

09/08/2011
. (Rock News Desk) Kyuss Lives drummer Brant Bjork says the band have to deal with the fact that bassist Nick Oliveri has an "interesting" lifestyle.

Oliveri is facing a prison term after staging a four-hour standoff with an LA SWAT team in July, during which it's believed he held his ex-girlfriend against her will. After he let her go cops gained entry to his apartment and found a loaded rifle and a quantity of drugs.

The looming court case means he's not always available to play with Kyuss Lives � but the drummer says the band are fortunate that Scott Reeder, the other bassist who played with them when they were Kyuss, is there to deputise. Bjork tells Heavy Planet: "There were only seven members of Kyuss and only two bass players, so Scott is the obvious and really the only Plan B that would even be considered. more on this story
