[DangerousDan85]

the "official line up" for the first two albums was :

Scott Stapp, Mark Tremonti, Scott Phillips, and Brian Marshall

There was a guy named Daniel Thompson who helped with the writing of "My Own Prison" and "Human Clay". He wasn't an official member but collaborated with Stapp and Tremonti for a lot of the material. He wrote the lyrics for "Bound and Tied", an unreleased song. He didn't work with them on "Weathered" because of health problems, that's probably the reason people like the other albums better.
