"Death and Destruction" was | "Death and Destruction" was written by [[Rivers Cuomo]] in [[2001]] and initially demoed to Cuomo's handheld digital recorder. It was first recorded as a band during a recording session at [[Maladroit_demos#Sage_and_Sound_.28SnS.29_demos|Sage and Sound Recording]] in September of [[2001]] as an instrumental. This demo was released on [[weezer.com]] shortly thereafter. Weezer performed the song live in concert throughout November and December before the band entered [[Cello Studios]] to record ''[[Maladroit]]''. The first known version of the song to include vocals was recorded on [[January 6]], [[2002]], and featured an unused third verse which would be replaced with a guitar solo in later versions. | ||
A live performance of the song recorded at a concert in Japan in May of [[2002]] was included on the live EP ''[[The Lion and the Witch]]'', as well as on a "[[Keep Fishin']]" single release in the UK. Weezer continued to play the song throughout [[2005]], only bringing it back as an instrumental on two occasions in [[2012]]. | |||
