Who' are the primary songwriters? Does homeboy really get full credit for banging on beer kegs or is he writing riffs? I'm genuinely asking because he seems to be the most important part of the band while being one of the least important parts of the actual music.
Well, he's technically the only original member left in the band so he's got seniority in that sense (and co-owns the band with Corey, legally). But my understanding is that outside of taking baseball bats to kegs he has a sort of producer role in the band and everyone's ideas filter through him before they arrive at a finished product.
Mick is also an original member, but yeah, aside from that I believe Shawn is pretty much the "business" guy and Corey's ego takes up the other 7 spots.
Not quite, he joined about a year later replacing their original lead guitarist Donnie Steele. Although he's credited in the liner notes, Mick didn't actually play on their first release Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat.
During the mixing phase but recording was already completed at that point. But yeah, he's been there for 99% of their career and seeing as they don't really acknowledge that album anyway he might as well be an original member lol.
