The story I heard from Request magazine around the time "The Colour
and the Shape" came out was that Will dropped out saying he didn't
want to tour as much as Dave wanted... which I guess could go along
with the Carpal Tunnel Theory... and after Will dropped out of the
picture Dave rerecorded all the parts during the cleanup phase of the
album... of course this article was very pro-Dave so it may have been
glossed over... it just goes to show we'll never know exactly what
happened there.
