Three Days Grace frontman takes success personally

Three Days Grace has already notched the most played song at rock radio in 2006 with "Animal I Have Become" and has another huge hit in the works with the band's latest single, "Pain." Both come off the group's second album, One X, and frontman Adam Gontier told us their success means even more because the record is very personal to him: "Yeah, it's a really personal record, a lot of the songs are very personal, especially 'Pain' and 'Animal I Have Become,' they're both pretty personal songs. So it's very interesting to hear how these songs relate to different people, you know. Different fans will talk to me about, you know, what the song means to them, and it's pretty cool hearing different stories about things that they've been through and how they relate to our music."

Three Days Grace recently played a series of acoustic dates at centers for addiction, mental health facilities, and group homes, included a November 29th gig at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) in Toronto, where Gontier went into recovery two years ago for drug and alcohol addictions.

The band performs tomorrow night (Wednesday, December 13th) in Flint, Michigan.

Three Days Grace begins a short tour with Buckcherry on January 19th in Columbus, Ohio before hitting the road with fellow Canadians Nickelback in late February.
