Of the former, Adams tweeted, [Albert] Hammond is a more horrible songwriter than his dad.

It rains in Sthtrn CA & washes out the dirt.

(Hammonds father is a musician in his own right.)

I hadnt really been doing it in baggie form until Ryan showed up.

He was definitely a bad influence.

Casablancas reportedly said, Did I specifically tell Ryan to stay away from Albert?

I cant remember the details, to be honest.

I think heroin just kind of crosses a line.

It can take a persons soul away.

So its like if someone is trying to give your friend a lobotomy youre gonna step in.

In the book, Adams refuted that characterization.

Thats so sad, because Albert and I were friends, he said.

I was around, and we actually spent time together.

He would show me his songs.

It was like, No one ever listens to my music, but do you want to hear it?

I would be like, F yeah!

I loved him so deeply.

I would never ever have given him a bag of heroin.

I remember being incredibly worried about him, even after I continued to do speedballs.
