Solo album Leave Me Alone

In 2014, during a break from Mondo Generator, Oliveri released a solo album under the name Nick Oliveri’s Uncontrollable, entitled Leave Me Alone , on which he sang, played all instruments and featured guest guitar solos on each track. For live shows he recruited Mondo Generator and You Know Who lead guitarist Mike Pygmie and drummer Jeff Bowman from Mighty Jack and Unsound, a desert area punk band who played many shows with Kyuss in the early 1990s. Stephen Haas from the Moistboyz also played guitar for a brief time. Nick Oliveri’s Uncontrollable played several shows in the desert, Los Angeles and Bay areas, most notably opening for Queens of the Stone Age at the Los Angeles Forum on Halloween night. Oliveri later joined Queens of the Stone Age on stage that night to sing several songs from the albums Rated R and Songs for the Deaf .
