    I've listened to these guy's most of my life and never watched any interviews or anything like that. Seeing this is going to make those songs hit even harder now. I struggled with addiction for 8 years I listened to literally everything and play guitar as well. But im a metal head at heart and theirs something about Adam's voice when I heard home for the very first time. It gave me chills! Every word he just absolutely freaking meant! Almost a year sober. Thank you adam for the good music man. Stay healthy and good bud.

    TDG is not the same band without Adam. I've heard versions of the arly songs sung by Matt and he doesn't even come close. Honestly TDG should've taken a hiatus and simply renamed the current lineup something lese until if/when Adam ever returned. Bands don't realize that along with their "sound" (instruments+timing etc ...) that theiir vocalist is as much a part of that sound and identity as anything else.

      Does no one remember Adam quit mid tour claiming health conditions (heart problems) then a month later formed a new band and went on tour soon after with them. Now it's all about a addiction issue. This guy is a tool, his new band flopped and he wants to re connect because he is broke or bored now.

(No Ubers back then.)Then I later read that Adam left the band. I was so heartbroken. I never got over it. When my cousin died this band helped me heal.

He was great for the band and he’s a great guy but he isn’t the band itself, everyone plays their part. People refuse to listen to three days grace because Adam isn’t in it and it’s just pathetic that someone would purposely miss out on some great music just because they changed vocalists.

    Adam always looks as uncomfortable talking. Reminds me of myself 😬

    In my mind. Three days grace does not exist without Adam. I lost interest unfortunately.

    I can't listen to the Three Days Grace albums without Adam. The vocals and lyrics went way downhill

      I love Matt, he fit's the band so well I know he doesn't have that raspy voice like Adam but at least he can sing really well
