@@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)
@@czyprodigy dude I don’t need to be told a story, esp one I grew up with as it was happening . But hate to break it to you , nobody likes Matt on vocals . They tolerate and yeah love saint Asonia about to see them in October.
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
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
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.
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
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!
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,
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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 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
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 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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
Who the hell at any point has ever called three days grace "emo"??? They're just white guys-who-wear-tapout-shirts-and-live-in-a-rundown-mobile-home-radio-rock and nothing else. That's all they've ever been. Never before in my life have i heard heard them associated with "emo"
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 a pretty big TDG fan that doesn't really know any others, i didn't know Human & Explosions were considered good & Outsider was the black sheep. It's been almost the exact opposite for me 😂
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 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.
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 UA-cam
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.
I remember “Smackdown Vs. Raw 2007” being what introduced me to 3DG, it had “Riot” and “Animal I Have Become” and those songs are what instantly made me a fan
Me personally I don’t think you could ever replace Adam’s voice. He will always be the heart and soul of Three Days Grace with such a distinctive voice like that I don’t think it can ever be outshined.
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 UA-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
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!
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 am 4:39 into this and am so confused. TDG are still a thing? They had more than just the one single? They are now a part of emo? Aren’t they just another early 2000’s generic buttrock band?! I graduated the same year the self titled album came out and for all I knew they broke up the same year.
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!
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.
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 think it says a lot how much their sound changed when Adam left, Saints of Asonia sounds like old three days grace and current three days grace grace sounds like a different band completely
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.
I think one thing you’re potentially missing is how accessible how their guitar riffs were. In an era of Guitar Hero, many of my friends who wanted to play real guitar were scared of bands like Metallica but you better believe all of us knew how to play Riot, Never Too Late, I Hate Everything About You, and Animal I have Become. Those riffs made you feel like you were a great guitar player
I know that comment about the three days grace to knocked loose pipeline was kinda tongue-in-cheek and a fun little running joke on this channel, but I actually did find my way to knocked loose, started waaaaay back when I was listening to three days grace in highschool.
I was in middle school around the time Animal I Have Become dropped and I definitely do remember people in school calling them emo. It’s probably the hair and the angsty lyrics lol
As someone who was in middle school in the 2010’s I can confirm that their music was everywhere even though the ONE X album came out in like 06. Everyone in my friend group was into 3DG. Never liked the band after Adam, I gave it a shot but it felt like something was just missing
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
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.

Who the hell at any point has ever called three days grace "emo"??? They're just white guys-who-wear-tapout-shirts-and-live-in-a-rundown-mobile-home-radio-rock and nothing else. That's all they've ever been. Never before in my life have i heard heard them associated with "emo"
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 a pretty big TDG fan that doesn't really know any others, i didn't know Human & Explosions were considered good & Outsider was the black sheep. It's been almost the exact opposite for me 😂
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 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.
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 UA-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 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.
I remember “Smackdown Vs. Raw 2007” being what introduced me to 3DG, it had “Riot” and “Animal I Have Become” and those songs are what instantly made me a fan
Still rocking the never too late lyrics on my arm from when I was 17 and emo 😂 I’ll never cover it
Fastest click of my life. Those first two albums were my childhood.
Me personally I don’t think you could ever replace Adam’s voice. He will always be the heart and soul of Three Days Grace with such a distinctive voice like that I don’t think it can ever be outshined.
YES HE FINALLY MADE A VIDEO ON MY SECOND FAVORITE BAND
Whoa I know the origins of the term butt rock now. Thanks Finn
Emo? That's so bizarre, they were in the butt rock group of rock bands all the way in the 2000s, I'm glad you mentioned that
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 UA-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
They should do a tour with both vocalists and play two sets from each era
I'm sorry about your loss
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!
Three days grace was one of my first rock bands! I was born in 97, got into them around 09. They were huge back then
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.
What do you think of Billy Talent? They have some great songs and never really broke out in America like they could have
They're still very popular here in Europe especially in Germany with high chart entries.
I miss the Papa Finn uploads.
They were the most emo non-emo band on the radio in the early 2000s. Still have good songs
I am 4:39 into this and am so confused. TDG are still a thing? They had more than just the one single? They are now a part of emo? Aren’t they just another early 2000’s generic buttrock band?! I graduated the same year the self titled album came out and for all I knew they broke up the same year.
Looking at these comments, I thought I was alone. Who tf are these guys? I had no idea. Weird.
Emo!? They're Post Grunge as it gets!!
They were kind of late to be post grunge
@@RadDEATHTRAPno, they were not ?
@@RadDEATHTRAP they are a mix between post grunge and alt metal
@@RadDEATHTRAPyou mean they were kinda late to be Grunge.
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!
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.
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 think it says a lot how much their sound changed when Adam left, Saints of Asonia sounds like old three days grace and current three days grace grace sounds like a different band completely
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.
Welcome back dad! Missed you
One X is a masterpiece album. The Naruto animal I become AMV’s back in the day. 🤯
🎉🎉
I think one thing you’re potentially missing is how accessible how their guitar riffs were. In an era of Guitar Hero, many of my friends who wanted to play real guitar were scared of bands like Metallica but you better believe all of us knew how to play Riot, Never Too Late, I Hate Everything About You, and Animal I have Become. Those riffs made you feel like you were a great guitar player
Neeeeeeed!!!! A video on modern hardcore please!!!!!
Upvote this so Finn sees it
TDG to Knock Loose pipeline survivor 🤚
One-X was one of the 1st CD's i bought with my own money. It has so much emotion, and its undeniably one of my favorite reccords of all time.
And let's not forget that, the drummer was the ORIGINAL drummer for Thousand Foot Krutch!
My favorite bands growing up were 3 Days Grace, 12 stone, Seether and Him seeing them all a new level popularity is crazy
We need one for Nerf Herder!! ❤
I know that comment about the three days grace to knocked loose pipeline was kinda tongue-in-cheek and a fun little running joke on this channel, but I actually did find my way to knocked loose, started waaaaay back when I was listening to three days grace in highschool.
Please do KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, P.O.D., 36 CRAZYFISTS & IDT.
There's not a single pop culture fandom that doesn't have at least one music video with Animal I Have Become.
You definitely did this video justice. Their legacy lives forever through the bloodlines of the people they saved, me included
One-X is a fantastic rock album. Lyrically insanely relatable
I was in middle school around the time Animal I Have Become dropped and I definitely do remember people in school calling them emo. It’s probably the hair and the angsty lyrics lol
I always considered TDG emo, least that’s what everyone growing up called me for wearing my TDG merch in the mid 2000’s 😂
Thank you for taking my request.
Hey finn while you’re at it, do a video on All American Rejects. They’re definitely not emo but always got paired with the emo genre
As someone who was in middle school in the 2010’s I can confirm that their music was everywhere even though the ONE X album came out in like 06. Everyone in my friend group was into 3DG. Never liked the band after Adam, I gave it a shot but it felt like something was just missing
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
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.
What a callout as someone who was just an extra in a Knocked Loose music video having a Three Days Grace obsession in HS 😭
TDG was my gateway :)) Home is a song that hits deep, their debut album was already amazing
