"Is he actually playing the piano?" Yes and no. The studio recording of the song features Sean Rooney (who also composed the reimagined version) on piano; Radke basically said he just sounded a bit better. But Ronnie does play this live, including the piano solo (which mimics the guitar solo in the original if you didn't pick up on that)--he's played piano since childhood. It's worth noting that the lyrics, which are the same in both versions, were written by Ronnie Radke about _himself_ . “It’s me, looking in the mirror, saying, ‘I am my own worst energy. I do the worst damage to myself--- more than anybody else can to do me.' It’s obviously from my past experiences.” And yeah, the "Good Charlottey" (great description) sound in the original version really left the lyrical content to fall into the background, and I'm beyond glad he recorded this newer version which corrects that.

I'm actually very, very glad that I wasn't introduced to FIR until pretty recently because I fell in love immediately with the new(er) stuff but would have dismissed them way back when. HOWEVER, what's really weird is that the more I listen to the older stuff (partially through double reactions such as this and partially because my Pandora is set to FIR artist only mode) the more it grows on me. For instance, I'll find myself singing the older versions of the redone songs as I go about my day even though I disliked them the first time I heard them and think the new ones are perfection. It's kind of bizarre. I'm just enjoying the entire ride now, I guess. 😀

I don't know, if he took professional vocal lessons, but I'm sure, that he worked hard on his technical abilities, just because he's a perfectionist and very driven to get better in everything he does. He also was struggling with the vocals on his first album for an interesting reason: he went directly from 2,5 years in prison to the recording studio. While in prison he could only whisper sing in order to not provoke violent attacks from the other inmates. After being released he had physical and psychological problems to sing normal/loud. He had to work hard to overcome this mental block.
