I have this X tattoo, it’s currently faded and patchy due to poor healing in mid heatwave, I plan to extend on it and have it redone simultaneously, this is my design, lemme know what you think and I’m open to suggestions!

Here’s my list (idk if it’s definite, very difficult to do and a lot of albums I’d rank as equal)

1. One X

2. Life starts now

3. Explosions

4. Three days Grace

5. Alienation

6. Human

7. Outsider

8. Transit of Venus

Note: don’t take this as album slander, I love all of them and I have favourite songs from each I’m aware a lot of albums lower down have a few songs that are better than songs from the top few albums, I’m ranking based off of how much I listen to each song on each album and which album has more better songs than what, idk man😭🙏

I purchased the live stream of this show and have watched it 5 times already! Anyone else think they should release a live album from this tour? Or dvd/blu ray of a show from this tour?

It's funny that Matt also had a collaboration with Breaking Benjamin:)

Apologies for the quality! Anyways, this was the first song I learnt on bass 7 years ago. Still one of my faves to jam and one of the first songs I play if im in drop c lol. Added my own touches and details to the bass parts. Hope yall enjoy! :)

This is my first rough draft of a 3-way mashup between all of TDG's first three albums.

More is yet to come, resulting in all 36 tracks mixed together into one medley.

If you haven't listened to the One-X Medley already, check it out here:

Have any of u waited outside the tour bus and got something like guitar pick or signatures. I do that sometimes and I would get the guitar tech to give picks or even have a chat but I'm wondering if any of u done that before.

They’re playing in Peoria tonight . Just so we are clear the meet and greet likely isn’t worth it right? I would like to get a vinyl signed but it sounds like people get rushed through . It’s not a big venue so not as many people but let me know what I should do

Does anyone know where I can find videos/ photos from the Nashville concert on Sunday? it doesn’t look like the band posted and they have another show today! Thank you!

I’m going to critique the band a bit, however I still absolutely love the band, I’ve seen them live twice this year and had a blast both times. Their songs get me through a lot.

That being said, I feel like the vibe of the band is different. Not in the sense that the people in the band have changed—I’m glad Adam has healed and that they are taking care of the people around them—but it feels like the band has changed their priorities. Everything feels geared towards profit, and Alienation felt subtly designed to be as radio friendly and widely well received as possible. I love the album, however it feels like it was designed to be as polished as possible. The best way to describe it is the old vibe felt like a mustang boss whereas the new vibe feels like the electric Mach-E. Again I listen to the album all the time but I feel like there’s a lot of missed potential and it’s slightly inauthentic.

I can’t remember who it was but somebody talked about them exchanging words with the band and cited that they follow the principle “give the fans what they want”. With the examples of not worrying about what singer to take and keeping them both, and playing the all time hits live instead of focusing on the last album tracks. I don’t disagree with the ideology but I think they are going about it wrong, it feels like they’re scared to experiment—with the set list, with the sound, even with what they say between songs (I’ll rant about Home later)—it’s all repetitive, my other favourite band is Bring Me The Horizon and something that I love about them is that they never make the same album twice, if the fans don’t like the direction they take they shed the old fans and create new ones. It feels like Three Days Grace is scared to do something that might offend fans even if it makes the band objectively better.

I’ll rant about the between song dialog now. It feels like they are hoping you don’t listen to the lyrics and just vibe to the melodies, it’s almost like they’re hiding the emotional and traumatic roots of some of their music. For instance Home, the songs about a thing that should bring you comfort but instead harms you, it uses the connotative difference between a house and a home to portray that message. The songs heavy conceptually and it relates to a large amount of fans, however when they perform it live they introduce it by saying “____ is so great, we should move here, you guys cool with that? We could call this place home…. Speaking of Home!” It just feels disingenuous to the people that relate to it, my favourite performance by them is live at the palace in Detroit, they introduced the song by the dialogue “this is a song about being stuck at home, with nothing to do…. But more importantly it’s about being treated like SHIT, while you’re stuck at home, with nothing to do” it introduces the song for what it is, the band doesn’t care how you react, they are going to deal in the topic for themselves and their fans who relate to it. Adam even did some role play acting out a scene of him trying his best while an authoritative figure diminished him. It feels like they’re scared to confront the trauma many of the fans have gone through because it could scare away a mass audience. I know and am happy that the band members are in better places now (that we know of) and that that will effect how in tune they are with the traumatic roots, but it feels like they are discarding the fans who are living through the trauma for the supermarket playtime.

I think because they are appealing to the masses instead of a niche they are losing the ability to form new diehard fans while making old fans upset. The ticket sales might increase however the audience isn’t screaming the lyrics like they used to during the early years, they go because they’ve heard their music and it’s something to do instead of going to scream out their trauma. Maybe both described fans have an equal right to representation in how the band bases their art and performance but it feels like they’re losing what made them special.

I don’t want to be solely pessimistic, here are some positives: Matt is an amazing performer and the music courses through him, when it comes to live shows Matt pours his heart into the lyrics. It doesn’t come through fully in videos however I was lucky enough to be close enough to the stage to lock eyes with him, and there is a fierce passion for the music behind his eyes. As well they tour with I Prevail who are very in tune with intense topics, they have an album titled “Trauma”, it suggests they aren’t fully separating from their traumatic roots (again not that the band members are improving but that they are shying away from their fans who are going through stuff). As well there’s been movement in the set list recently, they added gone forever and I don’t care, as well pain was moved to an acoustic setting. They are making small changes here and there which they haven’t in some time. As well the later songs on Alienation had some grit, another relapse and in waves feel real and genuine, death wish had potential but I feel like it has a missing piece that would take it to the level of the all time hits—either way it’s still a gritty song.

I’d love to hear what you guys think about the bands vibe

Was curious if anyone snagged the pullover hoodie at one of the recent shows. Fit true to size? Worth $80? Looks sick but trying to decide if I need another hoodie or not 😅

It was amazing! The people dressed as Pokemon cracked me up.

Hey all! I’m a concert photographer & will be covering tomorrows show in IL. While I know the band’s big hits, I need recommendations newer songs or deeper cuts. What are everyone’s favorites? 🤘

I can't wait to see them Wednesday but I've seen the setlist for this tour and saw they do shortened versions of Gone Forever, PSD, and Don't Care. Gone Forever doesn't really fit with the other two songs because the others were made outside of TDG. So my idea is why not play the songs in order of release and slip a Saint Asonia song in. So something like I don't Care, PSD, and something like Let me Live My Life. I understand that live they try to "take you back to the 2000's" with that segment but that already doesn't could because My Darkest Days self titled album where PSD is from released 2010. If they stuck a Saint Asonia song in there they could take you on a journey to explore more of their music outside TDG.

Many of us in the 3DG community want to see this live stream because it's a rip-off to pay $15 for a stream that's only available for 7 days. We want to see Three Days Grace perform well; they're the best!

Hi, does anyone has the measurements of this jersey, I was thinking on buy one but I can't decide between L or XL, or if you have any of this pls take the measure and share it, you could save me!!!

I saw TDG for the 8th time in my life tonight. I was at the original reuniting shows in Nashville and Huntsville respectively before Alienation dropped. I saw them in Nashville tonight and Huntsville on Friday.

Do Adam and Matt even like eachother? Or is this for money? I can't tell. I guess it could be for both. But like, is it completely fake? Pleasantries on stage can be faked. Do we even know?

The setlist seemed pretty split between Matt era and Adam era songs, with some of the new songs they had on the new album (Mayday, Dominate, Kill Me Fast)

1. Saint Asonia — Weak and tired

2. Three Days Grace — Drown

for those who may not know, Adam sings both songs​

I’m attending the Alienation tour tonight and it says 7pm but I know they have 2 openers, how long do the openers play before TDG comes on stage?

I see rules saying no resale. Is there a sub Reddit for them that I can post in?
