Three Days Grace Interview #2 Adam Gontier 2010
Check out my backstage interview with Three Days Grace lead singer Adam Gontier. Three Days Grace is a rock band from Ontario, Canada. To date the band has released three best selling albums and charted six #1 singles on the mainstream rock charts. But before all of their success, Three Days Grace was simply a small band of high school students from Norwood, Ontario. It wasn’t until several years after the group had formed and started playing that they got their first big break by putting together a demo version of I Hate Everything About You. The song sparked a bidding war between several major labels, even getting the President of Jive Records involved in an attempt to sign the act. Whatever he said must have worked, because soon after Three Days Grace officially signed to Jive Records. Shortly after signing, the band went into the studio to record their self titled debut album. And in July 2003, the record hit stores nationwide. Lead by the hit single that helped get them discovered, the album went on to become a commercial success selling over a million albums worldwide. The debut also featured the band’s first #1 hit with Just Like You, and was played heavily on radio, putting Three Days Grace on the mainstream radar. Unfortunately, all of this success was soon met with downfall when lead singer Adam Gontier developed an addiction to the pain killer OxyContin. To combat the problem, Adam voluntarily checked himself into rehab and the band went on a brief hiatus …

@taydrewlol yey! I will!
@taydrewlol you’re welcome, dude! we should chat again sometime. Is it ok if I send a friend request, too?
@taydrewlol I know where he’s comin from then. xD I refuse to wear a dress you stupid Nazarenes! O.O Lol anyway. xD
Adam is a man who deserves respect for who he is. And if he is a Christian, that’s just an added bonus. ^_^
So, lol thanks for the chat, man. It’s be really interesting.
@taydrewlol spiritual? lol that’s a new word to me. xD What does that mean? And…I saw a little video on him, so I thought he was a Christian. xD I might be wrong. Lol…
@taydrlol Yeah…but God does allow bad things to happen to the best of people. Let’s just thank our Lord that Adam is a Christian. And since 2007, at least.
@taydrewlol It’s been a nightmare, really. D: Thanks for trying to convince me and NOT hating me. But…I’m still really worried. D: God damn it. D:
@taydrewlol Adam Gontier will go down in history as the man who saved thousands of lives through singing. Even if he doesn’t, he will live forever in our hearts. Dude, I gotta tell ya somethin. Don’t hate me. But…dude…I keep seein his death in front of me. O.o I don’t know why *wipes away tears* But I keep seeing R.I.P. Adam Gontier. Why the fuck do I keep seeing this?! :O I swear I’m not some sick person, either! I really don’t want him to die! Yet his death constantly appears! *cries* D:
@A7X1HINDER1TDG LMAO! If only my friends loved TDG as I do. XD
@taydrewlol dude, you don’t even know. xD I cried my eyes out after I discovered who he was, what he’s done, and how he’s paid for it. I swear, I was bawling. That sweet, poor man. And he turns it into something amazing. He could have been bitter, could have given up, or refused to go on. Or all three. But NO. He stood up for us.
The depressed, angry, misunderstood teens going through hell everyday. Some cutting, some burning, some addicts. All together and alive because of this amazing man.
my friend and I made an inside joke about the triange. We would go around school going ‘Pain (Ding!) without love Pain (Ding!) Kids at school would look at us like were crazy.
seether- gasoline in the back ground XD
@taydrewlol it’s weird, but I look at him like I would a priest or someone who deserves the utmost respect. After I discovered what he had gone through and what Three Days Grace really means „Three Days OF Grace. If someone told you that you were going to die, to use your last days of grace wisely, would you turn your like around?“ He just amazes me…and I try to be like him. I know I could never gain respect, but I write about true to life stuff that people try to push aside. Ignore. Ya know?
@taydrewlol It’s ok, bro. Adam freakin rocks! stand up for him if ya think ya need to!
@taydrewlol CHILL. HE SEEMS OUT OF IT. I LOVE ADAM! Alright? He just seems out of it!!!!
I Love Three Days Grace.. Everything about them.
Seether on the back fucking amazing. These are the celebs i wanna meet
Ok…I hate to say it. But Adam…you seem stoned. Poor guy. xD
„Do you guys ever look back and wonder ‘What the hell was i thinking’?“ „No…“
Fuck yeah! No screw up! I love your first album! Rock on guys! Whoo!
