On top of him is a monstrous entity whom he tries to fight. The video starts with Gontier in his torn apart bedroom asleep. The video, directed by Dean Karr, features singer Adam Gontier as the main character. Christian parody band ApologetiX recorded a parody of "Animal I Have Become", entitled "Animals I Have Begun" on their 2008 album, Future Tense. Both "Animal I Have Become" and " Pain" have been released in acoustic formats and are available on online music stores such as iTunes. "It's hard to tell where the music will go, but we're always coming up with ideas.In late 2005, the band performed an alternate version of the song in concerts that featured a different set of lyrics. The band always is working on new material. We've evolved and learned to like different kinds of music, whatever it is.” On every song they wrote every part they wrote could be a chorus. "At first we were into really riff-y stuff rather than just cool songs. Gontier says the group has changed quite a bit since its early years. Brown was becoming a respected producer and helped the group record its debut. After six years of hard knocks, the group connected with Gavin Brown of the band Big Sugar. "You know, just to make money we'd play covers even though we had a lot of original material.” "We tried to hit all these little redneck bars where we'd do cover songs,” says Gontier. The distance between large cities, not to mention the extreme cold and snowy weather, made trips a challenge. "Touring Canada can be tough - especially in the winter,” says Gontier.

The group moved to Toronto in 1997, took on the name Three Days Grace and began a rigorous touring schedule when the members weren't occupied with their day jobs. "We were a big fish in a very, very small pond.” "We started out in a very small town of 1,500 people,” he says. Gontier and Walst then connected with drummer Neil Sanderson, who lived in nearby Peterborough, and began the band Groundswell.Īlthough the group amassed a good local following, Gontier says that wasn't such a big deal. The Seattle group Sunny Day Real Estate was a particular inspiration. However, the Seattle scene was a much bigger one.

Gontier says that Canadian bands including the Tragically Hip and Our Lady Peace were some influence on the two. I suggested him getting a bass, and he did.” "I ended up hooking up with Brad (Walst) because we had the same love of music,” says Gontier. The core members of Three Days Grace met as freshmen in high school in Norwood, Ontario. It's all been about hitting the road, doing shows and getting those people to tell their friends and growing a fan base that way.” I guess we haven't been fortunate enough to have our songs be light enough to get on pop radio. "Bands like Nickelback and Daughtry and that sort of thing, they've gotten where they are thanks to pop radio. "It's definitely more of a word-of-mouth thing with us,” says Gontier. Since that time, the band has released two more successful albums and been on what seems like a constant tour of the U.S. Three Days Grace came to the attention of the world in 2003 when the group's debut album spun off the modern rock hits "I Hate (Everything About You),” "Just Like You” and "Home.” The album became a platinum seller. We are so far from being a Christian rock band.” A lot of people think we're a Christian rock band because we have the word ‘grace' in our name. He brought it to us, and it sounded pretty cool. "Brad (the band's bassist) was going to be an accountant, and he'd heard the term ‘three days grace period' to pay off a debt or something like that. "The name came from when we had day jobs,” says Grace singer Adam Gontier. Three Days Grace's name only has a heavenly connection if you happen to be in debt.
