Why did Colin Sears leave Dag Nasty?
Colin left Dag Nasty in 1987 because he developed a cyst on his hand and was not physically capable of playing drums. This left Dag Nasty in a bind because they had to find a drummer who could tour, and they had to do it quick. In fact, they even tried hiring Government Issue’s drummer at the time. They ended up getting London May from Samhain to fill in for about a month and a half, and then hired Scott Garrett permanently. Colin had surgery in late 1987 and recovered fine.
