He's talking about how Boyd wasn't really there in rehearsals and studio time, and says "It was a frustration, and we came--there was a lot of confrontation. But I'm a fiercely loyal person, and it took a long time for me to say 'Look. We need more from you. We need more focus on us. It just felt like it's been a while that in that time when we're meant to be focusing on what we're doing, I've been having a really frustrating time getting to feel like he was putting in anything more than the bare minimum. And to get him to cop to that. That frustration--in combination with his own personal things--led him to follow my advice and go to, to look after himself."

Seems like Dave took the kind of step that was difficult for him to take, and acted like the band leader.
