@SmokeWithMeInCTAdam left of his own volition. Go listen to Saint Asonia. I love Matt with 3dg and I think Adam is better with Mike Mushok anyway these days (no hate to Barry, he’s based)
Me and the wife got to hear him sing that last year when they came through Oregon. I like quite a bit of their stuff after her left, but listening to his voice and song brought back a flood of emotions from being a young teenager
Chester Bennington (rightfully so) gets a lot of praise for being the voice of a generation but right after him has to be Adam Gontier. His lyrics and voice impacted us so much growing up too
I agree and disagree but respect it. In my taste especially w/ TDG 1st 2 albums it was just so raw for me as a kid coming into hard rock I got into them for that but loved linkin park for over all creativity
TDG and Linkin Park are 2 of the only bands from that era to still be popular. I used to think TDG were just another buttrock band but I started listening to them again like a year ago and realized they're a lot more than that and actually pretty good.
I completely agree!💯 I more or less shared a post about the same topic! Explaining with Three Days Grace and why Adam Gontier left the band because struggled with addiction and started a new project with a christian rock band❤ Matt Walst was the 2nd lead singer and was critized the second he joined the band...(peoplease are too shallow) Then mentioned exactly what you wrote about Linkin Park and the late Chester Bennington and made a very bold and risky choice in having a female singer. Even I was shocked with my jaw dropping to the floor! I personally think that it was a very courageous choice and I applaud them! No Chester won't come back and rejoin like Adam Gontier from Three Days Grace but I believe that he's there watching their new singer and smiling because she can slay it!
till this day i will always say they are my favorite band, i dont like the new stuff so much but everything through self titled and transit of venus is goated
Adam's voice is why TDG is as big as they are and separated them from the crappy buttrock singers of the day that all sounded the same. Adam actually had a unique voice that was good.
It might sound super corny, but "I Hate Everything About You, Why Do I Still Love You" helped frame the need to process complex emotions for a young generation that was otherwise being raised into what was becoming popularly performative social media and reality television. Three Days Grace gave a lot of people some good ol' rock-angst bangers with the hopefulness of navigating the angst and emotions, and growing. I say this as someone that hasn't really listened to *any* full albums from that band, but select songs have been deeply replayed throughout the years, to help me get through some _very_ long nights and emotional drives.
My stepfather put One-X on my Ipod back in 2007 because he thought I might like them. I immediately loved them and One-X is still one of my favorite albums of all time, of which I love every single track. And it encouraged me to get better in English in school so I could sing along. Great memories
Adam's voice is so unique and well known by those who were in high school and college during those first two hit albums. I didn't care to even try to listen to TDG after Adam left because I wasn't really a big fan of the band to begin with. I do enjoy some Saint Asonia stuff though.
I agree, except they were one of my favorite bands for years. Probably up until Transit of Venus where I fell off as well. Just got older, growth in personal views, styles, music, etc. I have only heard a few songs with Matt and they are pretty good, but never got into them. One-X is still one of my top albums. Ever songs a banger in my eyes.
I wish I could overstate this but me finding Three days grace - Time of dying got me learning english, guitar and actively listening to music rather than passively. I knew the names of every single band member and (relax, i was 9) even found some of their family members and what not on facebook (ik its creepy in hindsight, again i was 9). If it werent for them, I would absolutely not be a music fan probably let alone metalhead. And I say this just because they found me at a very young and impressionable age, ripe to be set down a path of bleghs and gutteral noises years later. So happy you covered them!
Adam gontier and benjamin burnley will always be my favorite singers in that 2000s post grunge era. I was stoked when i found out they collabed on dance with the devil.
Three Days Grace was like the evil twin I secretly hung out with behind Switchfoot's back. While Switchfoot was all sunshine, hope, and “you got this!” energy, Three Days Grace was dark, brooding, and made you want to flip off everyone who didn’t get you. It was like the perfect soundtrack for the angsty shift from nu metal to emo, with both bands riding the wave of early 2000s rock. Switchfoot’s “Meant to Live” had me ready to conquer the world at 12, while “I Hate Everything About You” was the anthem for my middle finger to the universe.
Switchfoot and Red really helped Christian bands get noticed in the mainstream. Skillet as well. Radios will just play their music normally and most people that I know really liked them without knowing their faith.
Most people don’t know, Three Days Grace is pretty much a Christian rock band like Switchfoot. It’s clear from the name, Adam is catholic, and he has done a few songs with Skillet
@@Meyer-gp7nq I wouldn't really consider Three Days Grace as in the same boat as bands like Flyleaf, Red, and Skillet really; they never had any songs with that sort of message. Breaking Benjamin did a few times (like "The Great Divide" and "Ashes of Eden"), but I wouldn't consider them a Christian rock band either,
Three Days Grace along with Linkin Park got me into heavier music when i was growing up. Btw, i miss your second channel Finn. I hope you’re doing well
@@PM-vv3uc he found a job in marketing for youtubers and he's sick of his job, he did a podcast with a pretty small sub count but it's on his community posts account
TDG came from nowhere and exploded. My wife and I discovered them as kids and we bonded over them when we first met. To this day, they are still pur collective favorite. Adam Gontier's voice was so unique and captivating. Like an emo robot with perfect pitch lmao
@@TikkiNikki really no clue where the robot thing is coming from….frankly doesn’t make any sense. He doesn’t sound, look, or behave robotic in any way.
I was heartbroken when I found out adam was leaving, but when they announced Matt I was so hyped cause I was a big My Darkest Days fan. I think he was one of the best people they could have picked.
As a hip hop kid growing up.... Three days grace, linkin park, and Sevendust opened my eyes to other genres, Adam Gontier, Chester Bennington (RIP) and Lajon Witherspoons vocals are timeless to me, in my opinion - must see this video lol
TDG is what ultimately got me into rock and also metal. They're still my alltime favorite band, I know every song by heart and have seen them live multiple times. And my favorite song overall is coincidentally Pain by them. So thank you so much for this video.
Anyone who tours all across Canada in the dead of winter like they did for Explosions deserves credit. And I get the impression they are one of the nicer sets of guys in rock.
I went to a skillet concert about a year ago and Adam’s new band opened for them and they played “never too late” I’m so glad I got to hear that song live
One of the first band I was really a fan of. Did a presentation of them on my class when I was 10 and thwy shaped my love for metal. Seeing Adam reunite with the band last year was heartwarming
One of my favourite bands to this very day. Admittedly, it took awhile for me to like Matt Walst, but his singing grew on me. That being said, I much prefer the Adam Gontier era of the band. His lyrics were incredibly relatable for me, especially One X. I also had the privilege of meeting Gontier a couple summers ago while working stage security at a rock festival in Northern Ontario. He is one of the most down to earth and genuine people you'll ever meet.
Hey, dude. I remember you posting a video dealing with the conflict between click-bait description and your own analysis and it's cool to see you dropping some of your own insight into these retrospective pieces and hopefully finding a balance. I imagine I'm like many of your viewers in the sense that I dug the content to begin with but also appreciated the unique insight so it's cool to see you swinging it back to that kind of work. Love what you do, homie. Thank you for it.
This was the band that got me into rock and metal cause of Gone Forever. One of my favorite bands of all time genuinely have nothing but respect for everyone in the band sadly I’ve only seen them live once but I very hopeful to do it again. Great work Finn, and to the editor who worked on this video
they were very catchy and punchy, not straying too far into the obscure, very safe listen. they definitely sparked allot of interest in the early 00s for metalcore (and eventually emo), as the aesthetic and messages they sang pushed allot of us into bands like atreyu, killswitch, sevendust, and then later into emo bands like saosin, thrice, and later, asking alexandria, and the following post hardcore stuff. My wife and I both followed a very similar path in our music interest, starting with metallica and ozzy and megadeth, graduating to bands like three days grace and system of a down, linkin park, korn, etc. and then moving through the list. I think we were both blessed to have parents who welcomed lineups from ozzfest and other festivals alike. but three days grace is as essential for the very early 00s angsty tweens as bullet for my valentine was.
I graduated '07 and this album WAS my high school anthem. Angsty, directionless and just discovering who i am...OneX holds a special place for my generation
I worked at an alt radio station when TDG broke. They came in studio and the singer sang I hate everything about you 5 feet from my face. It was an intensity I had never seen before or again.
Saw them when they opened for disturbed in PA a few years ago. It was my very first live concert, seeing two of my all time favorite bands and they had some amazing crowd work. Really brought the energy.
It’s crazy how many comments I see where Linkin Park and Three Days Grace are all in the same conversation and I love it. I grew up listening to Three Days Grace in 2007 then discovered Linkin Park 2009. I would listen to Three Days Grace while playing Gears of War just because One-X is such a good album for the game series. Meanwhile when A Thousand Suns came out I found it to be the perfect soundtrack for Halo: Reach and I would spend hours playing the game and listening to A Thousand Suns. Glad that both of them are in the same conversation.
Adams vocals are amazing. Theres just not many people who can sing like that fella. And he still sounds great live to this day in Saint Asonia. It gives me chills. One x was a huge album for me getting into rock too. I still listen to it all the time.
I was obsessed with TDGs One-X as a young teen. Had the CD on replay. Adams vocals were undeniably great and unique, I loved everything they put out up to TOV. But since Matt took over I been less interested in TDG and not only me, but we all missed Adam. I myself didn’t hate on Matt taking over, I just preferred Adam more. Which is also why I’m glad Adam has Saint Asonia now. Their first album really has that OG Three Days Grace vibes too.
First two songs I heard from 3DG was I Hate Everything About You and Over and Over, and I fell in love since. I started listening to all of their music until Transit of Venus and switched to Saint Asonia when Adam left 3DG. I'm a big fan of Adam G/OG 3DG - from 🇵🇭 ♥️🤘🏼🎸
I was never a fan on this style, but I did see them live in 2005 or 2006 and they put on an amazing show. I had no idea they continued to put out music that long.
I remember when I got my driving licence back in 2011, going on vacation in south-west France, blasting Three Days Grave on the road, the ocean by my side... Man, the memories. Things were tough, but they were easier to comprehend. One X is the best album to me. I kissed my first love with Over and Over on my computer shitty speakers. I exorcised my anger in highschool listening to Animal I Have Become. I was already into heavier stuff, but Three Days Grace was probably in the same spot in my heart as Sum 41. I'm a Deathcore dude, now, but I have no shame thinking about my musical roots TwT
As someone who got started with alternative music via Green Day & Three Days Grace back in the day, and now loves knocked loose (got super into metalcore/deathcore a couple years after GD/TDG), I can confirm the TDG to KL pipeline does indeed exist.
I grew up around these guys, Most of them live local to me still, Its insane how much the local stations played them back in the high days, & no one had any hate towards them or seemed to have any jealousy (That ive ever noticed) More proud of these guys being locals Its always been such a inspiration to every local band of every genre from country to obscure metal bands
This was an amazing video and I love learning about one of my top 3 comfort bands (Being, in order, Starset, Three Days Grace and The Mechanisms). Thank you for making this
I'm glad you're drawing attention to these guys. I realized ~a few years ago how deep and incredibly impressive their catalog of hits is. Now I will admit that some of that could be because I'm Canadian, and our media has Canadian-Content laws, so I would have received more exposure than most... but the reality is that these guys pumped out some bangers. Other Canadian hard(er) rock acts absolutely worth a listen are Moist and Billy Talent - both doing very well on our charts in their day.
it's funny--as a young kid playing guitar in my room learning technical riffs and trying to sweep and shred; now i'm 33 and i don't remember most of those sweeps and licks and more of these kind of songs from my childhood. probably nostalgia talking, but three days grace was definitely a part of it
My favorite band growing up, can definitely say their music helped me get through a rough time in my life. Hearing Adams cover of In The Air Tonight in person is one of my favorite memories. They should have changed their name when Adam left though, it's really just My Darkest Days 2.0
You should’ve brought up Adam’s new band Saint Asonia. It sounds exactly like Three Days Grace which says a lot about how a singer can truly make a difference when it comes to a band. They’re really good and deserve more credit and appreciation.
Loved three days grace growing up. After Adam left I didn’t really listen to them but those first few albums (especially One X) will always be a crucial part of my childhood
Took me to a different tab to ask me about TH-cam helpfulness of sharing this video despite 'copyright'. Went back after, it remove this video from my recommended feed. Had to search it up manually to watch.
I’m so glad Adam is back in 3dg I’ve been a fan of them since 2006 I was 5 years old back then they were the first band I ever fell in love with and made me fall in love with rock music
I was in a freshman in High school when Transit of Venus came out, I definitely remember listening to it tons when it first came out it was heavily on my rotation, especially having grown up listening to them on the radio, watching all the music videos and everything, I was a big fan at the time. After hearing the news that Adam was leaving, I think it made me appreciate the 4 albums we had a lot more. Cause there wasn't going to be any REAL new 3DG material, while I did enjoy Human, it was definitely on a downslope compared to their previous work. Barry's a great composer but you could totally tell that Adam carried the band. I listened to tons of Saint Asonia when they came out but what they had before was pure magic.
I have been waiting for your Video on TDG. Thank you. Since a Friend of mine introduced me t them when we were like 15ish I loved the band back in the Adam days. but also really like all the Albums with Matt. Just a Great Band ❤
just from the cover art you can see why one x is my all time favorite album, i love all of the songs there, especially never too late, and overall i liked every song from the first 3 albums. and respect for matt, he made some bangers with the band like so called life and painkiller.
Another thing I remember is my little nephew loving their song “Riot” because WWF was pretty popular at the time and they had that song for one of their events 😂 my nephew was like 11 years old and he’d tell me “You like Three Days Grace? I love their song Riot” and he’d start singing it 😂
You are right. 3 days grace was the first band I discovered in middle school myself. Everything else was from my parents or sibling. I am now a knocked loose fan haha
They are still one of my favorite bands to this day. I will say that I am in the opposite camp as you are and maybe most others, when they got their new vocalist, I was more surprised how similar sounded to the old lead singer. For switching people I think it’s impressive how much they sound alike.
I remember them coming out during the Fuse tv era and "IHEAY" was playing every hour. I was already deep into death metal and punk in my early teens but their first album is an undeniable banger from start to finish. One of those rare albums that has no need for a skip button.
Three Days Grace was such an influential band for me and many of my middle school friends, so glad to see this video! I still listen to them to this day!
I really got into Three Days Grace when their first two albums came out, especially One X. By their third album and more came out, I moved on to other stuff like thrash, Dream Theater, death metal, Alice in Chains, etc. I did rediscover the first two albums and they still hold up.
I saw them about 15 yrs back, I was startled by how good they were. They were on a festival bill with Avenged, Seether and a bunch of others. They delivered, I hadn't expected much, but they stood up.
God so glad this came out. 1st favorite rock n roll band was cheap trick and at 7 I heard one X and the debut album and they became my gateway to rock and everything thing else. Cherish this band got me through a lot in life
The song redemption of their latest album I can feel the guy is actually telling a story. Not had that from a song in ages. Thanks for the video on thir band Finn!
I discovered them through Smackdown Vs Raw 2007, good times man... Also I remember a YT video of Kenny from South Park dying repeatedly while 'Time of Dying' plays in the background lol, it's edgy but also kinda nostalgic if you remember the early days of TH-cam
I got a PSP for my 7th birthday and on this disc it came with was music videos, one of them being Home by Three Days Grace. From there i went to TH-cam to listen to more of them, go to my local record store to beg my parents to buy me their CDs, take me to concerts. I still got my first TDG shirt i got from also my first concert ever. somehow still fits too. They were a real big part of my life growing up
Thank you for this video, I absolutely loved it! I am 26 now, my favourite band is Dance Gavin Dance, but I also love a lot of heavier stuff. I wouldn't have found any of the things I like now if I didn't start listening to Three Days Grace when I was 16. They are the first band I loved.
So weird that they are considered emo, they were right there with Chevelle and those other pseudo-alternative numetal bands. Emo is a term that just has been totally butchered anyways, it means pretty much nothing in particular anymore.
@@mramisuzuki6962 Haha, fair. I remember when we were discussing if Cursive was emo waayyyy back in the day, and now I hear "emo" and it's either pop-punk or numetal. The very things it very much wasn't. God damn Getup Kids and "Something to Write Home About". I blame that album for emo aligning to pop punk. I also love that album. We're all to blame.
Thank you for this one! I really wish Adam stayed but I get it. Much like others, he got me through the Florida opioid crisis. I've still jammed everything from matt since he took the spot. Music as a whole that is soothing and inspirational is life changing.
First discovered three days grace from playing smackdown vs raw 2007 and i remember specifically looking up the songs from the soundtrack on my pc and it being one of the first times i went out of my way to look up and discover new music. That soundtrack is pretty much what made me branch off into other genres. I grew up listening to rock and metal because of my parents when i was younger but i didnt go out of my way to get into the music until i got really into svr and fell in love with the game, i was obsessed with that game and it sounds cheesy but it changed my life it allowed me to discover other things that i really ended up enjoying.
I think of it like ACDCs replacement. It's the band that still kicks ass no matter who the singer is. I do love Adam more but that's just my age showing.
One-X was one of my first albums I ever owned on CD and I played it so often the artwork on the cd itself wore out it really is a gateway band and will always be special to me.

It took me about a year to get used to Matt but I love both vocalists about the same and I’m so glad Adam decided to come back ❤
Over and over, over and overrrrr I fallll for youuuuu. Hell yeah, 7th grade jams.
Hey, dude. I remember you posting a video dealing with the conflict between click-bait description and your own analysis and it's cool to see you dropping some of your own insight into these retrospective pieces and hopefully finding a balance. I imagine I'm like many of your viewers in the sense that I dug the content to begin with but also appreciated the unique insight so it's cool to see you swinging it back to that kind of work. Love what you do, homie. Thank you for it.
This was the band that got me into rock and metal cause of Gone Forever. One of my favorite bands of all time genuinely have nothing but respect for everyone in the band sadly I’ve only seen them live once but I very hopeful to do it again. Great work Finn, and to the editor who worked on this video
Glad Adam is now back!
they were very catchy and punchy, not straying too far into the obscure, very safe listen. they definitely sparked allot of interest in the early 00s for metalcore (and eventually emo), as the aesthetic and messages they sang pushed allot of us into bands like atreyu, killswitch, sevendust, and then later into emo bands like saosin, thrice, and later, asking alexandria, and the following post hardcore stuff. My wife and I both followed a very similar path in our music interest, starting with metallica and ozzy and megadeth, graduating to bands like three days grace and system of a down, linkin park, korn, etc. and then moving through the list. I think we were both blessed to have parents who welcomed lineups from ozzfest and other festivals alike. but three days grace is as essential for the very early 00s angsty tweens as bullet for my valentine was.
I graduated '07 and this album WAS my high school anthem. Angsty, directionless and just discovering who i am...OneX holds a special place for my generation
Adam is back with Matt. So now they can be undeniably great for the future to come.
ngl Mayday is a solid banger, can't wait to hear more of that solid duo and to see in which direction TDG will go 🤩
I worked at an alt radio station when TDG broke. They came in studio and the singer sang I hate everything about you 5 feet from my face. It was an intensity I had never seen before or again.
Saw them when they opened for disturbed in PA a few years ago. It was my very first live concert, seeing two of my all time favorite bands and they had some amazing crowd work. Really brought the energy.
God tier song writing and I’d kill to be able to write chorus riffs like that
It’s crazy how many comments I see where Linkin Park and Three Days Grace are all in the same conversation and I love it.
I grew up listening to Three Days Grace in 2007 then discovered Linkin Park 2009. I would listen to Three Days Grace while playing Gears of War just because One-X is such a good album for the game series.
Meanwhile when A Thousand Suns came out I found it to be the perfect soundtrack for Halo: Reach and I would spend hours playing the game and listening to A Thousand Suns.
Glad that both of them are in the same conversation.
Adams vocals are amazing. Theres just not many people who can sing like that fella. And he still sounds great live to this day in Saint Asonia. It gives me chills. One x was a huge album for me getting into rock too. I still listen to it all the time.
I was obsessed with TDGs One-X as a young teen. Had the CD on replay. Adams vocals were undeniably great and unique, I loved everything they put out up to TOV. But since Matt took over I been less interested in TDG and not only me, but we all missed Adam. I myself didn’t hate on Matt taking over, I just preferred Adam more. Which is also why I’m glad Adam has Saint Asonia now. Their first album really has that OG Three Days Grace vibes too.
I see Three Days Grace, I fucking click.
FINN!! Great to see you in my feed! ❤
First two songs I heard from 3DG was I Hate Everything About You and Over and Over, and I fell in love since.
I started listening to all of their music until Transit of Venus and switched to Saint Asonia when Adam left 3DG.
I'm a big fan of Adam G/OG 3DG - from 🇵🇭
♥️🤘🏼🎸
I was never a fan on this style, but I did see them live in 2005 or 2006 and they put on an amazing show. I had no idea they continued to put out music that long.
Man, my three favorite rock vocalists, Chester Bennington Benjamin Burnley, and Adam Gontier.
Sorry for your loss Finn
I remember when I got my driving licence back in 2011, going on vacation in south-west France, blasting Three Days Grave on the road, the ocean by my side... Man, the memories. Things were tough, but they were easier to comprehend. One X is the best album to me. I kissed my first love with Over and Over on my computer shitty speakers. I exorcised my anger in highschool listening to Animal I Have Become.
I was already into heavier stuff, but Three Days Grace was probably in the same spot in my heart as Sum 41. I'm a Deathcore dude, now, but I have no shame thinking about my musical roots TwT
As someone who got started with alternative music via Green Day & Three Days Grace back in the day, and now loves knocked loose (got super into metalcore/deathcore a couple years after GD/TDG), I can confirm the TDG to KL pipeline does indeed exist.
Finn is back!
Finn got his feelings hurt from TH-cam comments so he uses contrived apathy as a defense mechanism. Very sad.
I grew up around these guys, Most of them live local to me still, Its insane how much the local stations played them back in the high days, & no one had any hate towards them or seemed to have any jealousy (That ive ever noticed) More proud of these guys being locals
Its always been such a inspiration to every local band of every genre from country to obscure metal bands
BROUGHT BACK THE OG INTRO TRACK 🫨
Thank you for taking my request.
This was an amazing video and I love learning about one of my top 3 comfort bands (Being, in order, Starset, Three Days Grace and The Mechanisms). Thank you for making this
I'm glad you're drawing attention to these guys. I realized ~a few years ago how deep and incredibly impressive their catalog of hits is. Now I will admit that some of that could be because I'm Canadian, and our media has Canadian-Content laws, so I would have received more exposure than most... but the reality is that these guys pumped out some bangers. Other Canadian hard(er) rock acts absolutely worth a listen are Moist and Billy Talent - both doing very well on our charts in their day.
I'm sorry about your loss
it's funny--as a young kid playing guitar in my room learning technical riffs and trying to sweep and shred; now i'm 33 and i don't remember most of those sweeps and licks and more of these kind of songs from my childhood. probably nostalgia talking, but three days grace was definitely a part of it
Strange History of Starset pls
Freshman year me was NOT ready for finding these guys lmao. Such a change and what I was really looking for.
My favorite band growing up, can definitely say their music helped me get through a rough time in my life. Hearing Adams cover of In The Air Tonight in person is one of my favorite memories. They should have changed their name when Adam left though, it's really just My Darkest Days 2.0
They were the most emo non-emo band on the radio in the early 2000s. Still have good songs
You should’ve brought up Adam’s new band Saint Asonia. It sounds exactly like Three Days Grace which says a lot about how a singer can truly make a difference when it comes to a band. They’re really good and deserve more credit and appreciation.
Loved three days grace growing up. After Adam left I didn’t really listen to them but those first few albums (especially One X) will always be a crucial part of my childhood
And now Adam is back!
Took me to a different tab to ask me about TH-cam helpfulness of sharing this video despite 'copyright'. Went back after, it remove this video from my recommended feed. Had to search it up manually to watch.
I miss the second channel.. great video Finn!
Same here, dude. Same here.
I’m so glad Adam is back in 3dg I’ve been a fan of them since 2006 I was 5 years old back then they were the first band I ever fell in love with and made me fall in love with rock music
Pleaaaase, do "Coheed and Cambria" 😊
Welcome back dad! Missed you
I enjoy both eras of TDG. Matt is def underrated
I was in a freshman in High school when Transit of Venus came out, I definitely remember listening to it tons when it first came out it was heavily on my rotation, especially having grown up listening to them on the radio, watching all the music videos and everything, I was a big fan at the time. After hearing the news that Adam was leaving, I think it made me appreciate the 4 albums we had a lot more. Cause there wasn't going to be any REAL new 3DG material, while I did enjoy Human, it was definitely on a downslope compared to their previous work. Barry's a great composer but you could totally tell that Adam carried the band. I listened to tons of Saint Asonia when they came out but what they had before was pure magic.
I have been waiting for your Video on TDG. Thank you. Since a Friend of mine introduced me t them when we were like 15ish I loved the band back in the Adam days. but also really like all the Albums with Matt. Just a Great Band ❤
They should do a tour with both vocalists and play two sets from each era
just from the cover art you can see why one x is my all time favorite album, i love all of the songs there, especially never too late, and overall i liked every song from the first 3 albums. and respect for matt, he made some bangers with the band like so called life and painkiller.
0:53 middle school me didn’t know what was coming
Another thing I remember is my little nephew loving their song “Riot” because WWF was pretty popular at the time and they had that song for one of their events 😂 my nephew was like 11 years old and he’d tell me “You like Three Days Grace? I love their song Riot” and he’d start singing it 😂
You are right. 3 days grace was the first band I discovered in middle school myself. Everything else was from my parents or sibling. I am now a knocked loose fan haha
This is the band that got me into hard rock and heavy metal and im so grateful for there music helping me through some messed up times in my life
They are still one of my favorite bands to this day.
I will say that I am in the opposite camp as you are and maybe most others, when they got their new vocalist, I was more surprised how similar sounded to the old lead singer. For switching people I think it’s impressive how much they sound alike.
I remember them coming out during the Fuse tv era and "IHEAY" was playing every hour. I was already deep into death metal and punk in my early teens but their first album is an undeniable banger from start to finish. One of those rare albums that has no need for a skip button.
Three Days Grace was such an influential band for me and many of my middle school friends, so glad to see this video! I still listen to them to this day!
I really got into Three Days Grace when their first two albums came out, especially One X. By their third album and more came out, I moved on to other stuff like thrash, Dream Theater, death metal, Alice in Chains, etc. I did rediscover the first two albums and they still hold up.
I saw them about 15 yrs back, I was startled by how good they were. They were on a festival bill with Avenged, Seether and a bunch of others. They delivered, I hadn't expected much, but they stood up.
Great band, great video by Papa Finn.
God so glad this came out. 1st favorite rock n roll band was cheap trick and at 7 I heard one X and the debut album and they became my gateway to rock and everything thing else.
Cherish this band got me through a lot in life
The song redemption of their latest album I can feel the guy is actually telling a story. Not had that from a song in ages. Thanks for the video on thir band Finn!
I discovered them through Smackdown Vs Raw 2007, good times man...
Also I remember a YT video of Kenny from South Park dying repeatedly while 'Time of Dying' plays in the background lol, it's edgy but also kinda nostalgic if you remember the early days of TH-cam
Those games had the best soundtracks I remember SmackDown vs raw 2010 had Papa Roach because it was the raw theme at the time and I loved it
I got a PSP for my 7th birthday and on this disc it came with was music videos, one of them being Home by Three Days Grace. From there i went to TH-cam to listen to more of them, go to my local record store to beg my parents to buy me their CDs, take me to concerts. I still got my first TDG shirt i got from also my first concert ever. somehow still fits too. They were a real big part of my life growing up
Thank you for this video, I absolutely loved it! I am 26 now, my favourite band is Dance Gavin Dance, but I also love a lot of heavier stuff. I wouldn't have found any of the things I like now if I didn't start listening to Three Days Grace when I was 16. They are the first band I loved.
Bout time you uploaded. Sheesh. Some of us look forward to your content.❤
Awesome video!!!
(4:13) shout out to 99.9 KISW The Rock of Seattle! ❤🤘😎
I was listening to 104.9 Funky Monkey back then. RIP Funky Monkey... 😂
First time I heard them was on a umd disc for the psp and the music video was home. I was immediately hooked!
So weird that they are considered emo, they were right there with Chevelle and those other pseudo-alternative numetal bands. Emo is a term that just has been totally butchered anyways, it means pretty much nothing in particular anymore.
Emo is the I’m not formula “buttrock” badge right now.
@@mramisuzuki6962 Haha, fair. I remember when we were discussing if Cursive was emo waayyyy back in the day, and now I hear "emo" and it's either pop-punk or numetal. The very things it very much wasn't. God damn Getup Kids and "Something to Write Home About". I blame that album for emo aligning to pop punk. I also love that album. We're all to blame.
Thank you for this one! I really wish Adam stayed but I get it. Much like others, he got me through the Florida opioid crisis. I've still jammed everything from matt since he took the spot. Music as a whole that is soothing and inspirational is life changing.
First discovered three days grace from playing smackdown vs raw 2007 and i remember specifically looking up the songs from the soundtrack on my pc and it being one of the first times i went out of my way to look up and discover new music. That soundtrack is pretty much what made me branch off into other genres. I grew up listening to rock and metal because of my parents when i was younger but i didnt go out of my way to get into the music until i got really into svr and fell in love with the game, i was obsessed with that game and it sounds cheesy but it changed my life it allowed me to discover other things that i really ended up enjoying.
I think of it like ACDCs replacement. It's the band that still kicks ass no matter who the singer is. I do love Adam more but that's just my age showing.
Three Days Grace have been my favorite band for 14 years
One-X was one of my first albums I ever owned on CD and I played it so often the artwork on the cd itself wore out it really is a gateway band and will always be special to me.
Ppl watching after the 2X announcement
👇
Fastest click of my life. Those first two albums were my childhood.
Hey Finn, really hope to see some different topics and new video ideas in the near future!
