Title: Evil New War God drum solo
Post by: ))))(((( on March 13, 2022, 02:40:39 PM
I've always been intrigued by the drum solo in the middle of 'Evil New War God'. Obviously this was done during the era with Big Business and performed live it was interesting that both Dale and Coady had a drum trade off in the solo. That they both had their parts. Now when the song is performed Dale just does all the sections himself. It makes me wonder if the drum section was written by both of them together or just one of them. Also whether the bits they play individually were written by that person. So perhaps Dale did a bit then Coady reacted to that and so on.

I have wondered this too! Hopefully an interviewer will ask some day. Watch them say "Jared actually wrote that"

like a Judas Priest guitar solo break. they switch off multiple times during that part of the song and even have credits in a lot of the albums on which guitarist plays which.  :lol:

I seem to recall Dinosaur Jr was pretty serious about crediting who played which solo, too.
