On Saturday January 20TH, Three Days Grace returned to Piere's with BuckCherry to perform to a sold out concert. Last time they were in town we had a first time, where we had kept the studio open all night for the band to get work done. We finished at 8:00 A.M. just as the tour bus was pulling out of Piere's parking lot. Well we got an earlier start this time, as when the bus pulled in Adam walked in the back, and Barry walked in the front.  Adam from Three Days Grace The members of Three Days Grace began bashing punk chords when they were in their teens, carving a derivative yet energetic sound that fueled their live performances. Three Days Grace was formed in Norwood, Ontario, Canada, in 1997 by Adam Gontier (vocals, guitar), Brad Walst (bass), and Neil Sanderson (drums). The group was originally called Groundswell, a five-piece that lasted from 1992 until transforming to a trio five years later. Gontier and Walst were raised in Norwood, and many of their songs were inspired by living in a place with a population of around 1,500. The bandmembers were still in high school when they had their first gig, and they  Barry from Three Days Grace adds to the Wall of Fame! performed anywhere that would accept them -- including opening for a movie. Three Days Grace eventually relocated to Toronto and were introduced to producer Gavin Brown by their old manager. The band gave Brown a private set, and he selected what he felt were the most promising tracks. The group then produced a demo for EMI Music Publishing Canada. With Brown at the helm, Three Days Grace recorded "(I Hate) Everything About You." The tune got them a publishing deal with EMI, and they soon were signed to Jive after being courted by the company's president. Brown and Three Days Grace were sent to a studio in Boston, MA, to start the group's debut album. The band completed its self-titled full-length in Woodstock, NY, at an isolated location free from big-city distractions. Heavily influenced by Kyuss and Sunny Day Real Estate, the dark, angst-ridden tales of small-town love and hate on Three Days Grace brought the group a Next Big Thing tag.
 Grade A where the Celebs Play! These guys are the not only amazingly talented, and outstanding performers on stage, they are amazingly warm and very friendly and just basic down to earth guys. Barry spent most of the day in Ron's chair getting work done on his left arm sleeve. Barry had Piere's put three tables on the tableless balcony, reserved for Grade A, so we really had the best seats at the sold out concert. The show was outstanding, and it seemed the night could not get any better, but it did. After the show, Barry told us not to go home yet, just go back to the studio and wait for them, as they had to do a greet and meet. It seems they had a surprise for us. After an hour, They walked in the back door, with a picture signed by all the guys, Neil, Brad, Adam, and Barry. And a signed CD, and This beautiful guitar signed by everyone,to display in Grade A's lobby. It joins our Mushroomhead Mask, Our Crossfade Guitar Cabinet, our Dope Drum head and all the signed CD's and pictures with have with the different groups that we have worked on over the years. It is loveingly called our "Wall of Fame".  The Guitar Jacque got from Barry! Thanks guys, we can not wait for Three Days Grace to visit Grade A again.  |
