My, How Times Change

"I'm usually the bad guy. That's how it always seems to be," explains the guitarist to MTV News. "I've tried not to read a lot of the comments our fans have been making about this, because I really hope they don't think it was me who caused the split. We were all just going in different directions, musically. That's it."

"The photo was taken a couple of weeks ago — I do remember, believe it or not. I'm not gonna tell you whose house it was at, but yeah, there was a party the night before, and I slept on the couch, and we took a picture. I didn't even really know [the cocaine] was there."

Ryan, Ryan, Ryan... What the hell happened to you? You used to have such personality and pizazz and...NOT be a moron. I blame your questionable taste in women (as seen in this photograph) and that time you spent in a cabin in the woods. I think it drove you insane—I use "the piano knows something I don't know" as evidence. Sure, it's a good line, but you sound mad as a balloon.

Shame, really. I used to be in love with that kid. Ah well.
