'''Ryan Maynes''', also known as '''"Shmedly"''' or '''"Shmed"''', is a musician. Best-known for his work with the pop band Arlo, he sat in with [[Weezer]] during the [[Album 5 demos|Album 5 demo sessions]].
'''Beeswax''' is the name of [[Weezer]]'s third studio album.


Weezer recruited Maynes in mid-[[2002]] to play keyboards on the planned follow-up to ''[[Maladroit]]''. Beginning [[June 21]] he can be heard on various tracks from [[Album 5 demos|the recording sessions]] for the band's intended [[Make Believe|fifth album]]. In a [[2010]] article from The Missoula Independent, Maynes explains that he was hired as a potential fifth member: "They said I was going to be in Weezer, I was going to tour with them. I was going to be the new guy."
Releasing in [[1999]], the album was the spawn of much controversy in the dedicated fanbase. While certain songs such as "The Good Hive" and "Paperwaste" primarily reflected the sound of Weezer's first release, ''[[Weezer (The Blue Album)]]'', other titles such as "Let's Sew Our Band Back Together (Requiem for Matt)" and "______________________" have continued to divide the fanbase for years. In a 2005 interview with Jane's Own Magazine, [[Rivers Cuomo]] stated the following regarding ''Beeswax'': "it's alright".


Maynes can be seen playing piano during a recording of "[[Prodigy Lover]]" featured on the DVD [[Video Capture Device]].
