Hey guys, so this is a very special review to me because these guys were my gateway to other bands. They also showed me that there were a bunch of other people who felt like I did (like you guys). I thought that it was ETF and Paramore but... it really started here. See, I loved A LOT of their songs and didn't even know that it was by them. From these guys came bands (for me anyway) like: Cage the Elephant, Escape the Fate (w/Ronnie) , Falling in Reverse, Sleeping with Sirens, Pierce the Veil, Asking Alexandria, Bring Me the Horizon, Suicide Silence, Black Veil Brides, Memphis May Fire, Of Mice and Men... I think that you get the point. Now, I understand that some of these bands are a lot different from the others. For example, Cage the Elephant is wayyyyyyyyyyyyy different from AA or BVB or BMTH. Still, Three Days Grace made me realize that there were a lot of songs that I've never researched. Of course by research I mean looking up the bands and stuff. Anyway, here are the members:

BAND MEMBERS:

-ADAM GONTIER: LEAD VOCALS! *I'm sorry for writing in all caps but I just can't picture TDG w/o him. Like, that is heartbreaking for me. I can't even... like, what? Oh my God, it breaks my heart! Ugh! I'll write more about this later. On to the next members >:'(

-Brad Walst: Bass guitar

-Neil Sanderson: Backing Vocals, Piano, and Drums

-Barry Stock: Lead Guitar

Alright, now back to this...crap! The reason I'm probably zapping out so much is because I'm just learning about this. I mean, I knew that he was not going to be touring with them because of a health issue or something but I did not know that he was leaving permanently. I thought that he wasn't going to be on the tour, he would get better, and then come back but no! Anyway, Adam says, "The music really wasn’t coming from the heart. I can say that on the record ‘Transit of Venus,’ there’s maybe one or two songs that actually do come from my heart, but a lot of songs have been written just for radio and for fans, you know, to relate to. Quite a bit of it just adds up to the fakeness of the whole industry and how you’re writing hits for other people and not for yourself — and that’s really what the band was, has been all about."

So, if the industry is to blame.. actually you know what? I was going to say something all witty and clever or something to end this but I've changed my mind.

If the industry was a person, I would freakin' shove him in a well and seal it off like they did to that psycho-killer-chick in The Ring. I would magically transform him into paper and then have Andy Biersack eat him. I would throw him in some type of room that keeps in sound and blast Pantera until the music made him headbang so hard that he'd knock himself the fuck out.

Oh yeah did I mention that Adam has had emotional struggles over this...crap (trying not to curse too much...for unknown reasons)??? Ugh! Forget this. 

"It’s real. Honest. Not fake. It’s from my soul. Which is exactly the same place that I keep all of you. In my soul.

Thank you so much for your love, support and kindness through this time."

*enter my pouty face here* :'( I'll miss you TDG (the real one) *sigh* *tear* *crazy-sad-fangirl-type-sort-of-thing cry* Rating: 10

 P.S:

"Pain, with out love

Pain, I can't get enough

Pain, I like it rough 'cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all" <--- Are you seeing this??? Where will you ever find lyrics like this??? Probably not from the new TDG. UGH!!!!
