Adam Gontier Leaves Three Days Grace

What the Hell? Why am I the last person to hear about Adam leaving Three Days Grace and it’s been almost two months? What the hell? I had to figure out on Tumblr while trying to figure out how to freaking work it!

This is just awful! I have been a Three Days Grace fan since seventh grade! Ok, that is not that long ago and it was far into their career but that is when I finally explored the genres of music and was able to actually stop conforming and being forced to like what society wanted me to listen to (Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, Kelly Clarkson, Ke$ha, etc.) my friend recommended them to me and I fell in love (thank you Taylor!). They played a big part of my life the following year when I went through one of the worst things that ever happened to me. The song Never Too Late helped me out so much and I will always be loyal to Three Days Grace and Adam Gontier for helping me when I needed it most. The album One X is my favorite because I can relate to most of their songs and feel connected. I look up to Adam with so much respect after what he has been through. My addiction wasn’t the same and he had it way worse, but I still have a lot of respect for him and the album.

After hearing why Adam left, I can understand it. He did battle a drug habit so obviously he needs to do what is best for him, and if staying in the band wasn’t that then he should leave. The album Transit to Venus definitely wasn’t my favorite, I only like a few songs off of it honestly, Chalk Outline, Anonymous, and The High Road. Hearing that Adam only felt a few were songs on it were from his heart, the album made sense to me I guess considering a lot of One X was written while Adam was in rehab.

I know Three Days Grace wasn’t just Adam, its Barry, Brad and Neil, but I am with Adam on this one. I see why he left and I will continue to support him and can’t wait to buy his solo album. I honestly don’t see Three Days Grace succeeding without Adam. Matt Walst is finishing up the rest of their tour since Adam left, and I heard his version of Riot and nearly cried. I adore the members of Three Days Grace, but if they release another album, I most likely won’t buy it or support it. Mostly because I like the songs that come from Adam’s heart better, along with Adam is just an amazing vocalist and I don’t feel anyone can compete with him when it comes to the band.

I honestly can’t wait for Adam’s solo album. If it’s anything like One X lyric wise, I will love it, even if it has some of the sound of Life Starts Now and lyric wise for a bit of it, I will love it.

Adam, keep staying awesome and best of luck to you in your solo career. As for the rest of Three Days Grace, I hope you guys can find a decent singer, but no one can beat out Adam Gontier. No one.
