In 2003 the band recruited lead guitarist Barry Stock. вЂњGontier, Walst and Sanderson regrouped in 1997 under the name Three Days Grace. HeВ was blown away by the album and JeffвЂ™sВ talent, he gotВ up offВ the couch and just thought that he should quit music, because he canвЂ™t top Jeff. Adam received Jeff BuckleyвЂ™s Grace album from his cousinВ after which he took it home,В he turned off the lights and just laid down on his couch closed his eyes and listened to the record from start to finish. He has a tattoo of a butterfly on his right wrist. On his left upper arm he has a tattoo of a picture ofВ his wife. In 2007 he added a tribal tattoo to his upper right arm. He has вЂhopeвЂ™ tattooed on his knuckles of his left hand. He has two tattoos on his chest and he has a tattoo of the word вЂgraceвЂ™ on his knuckles of his right hand in the same font that was used on Jeff BuckleyвЂ™s album Grace. On his right forearm he has a solid black band and lyrics to his bandвЂ™s song вЂNever Too LateвЂ™ from the album вЂ One-XвЂ and on his left arm he has a tattoo with special words made out to his grandmother. Adam Gontier has a large selection of tattoos. When he was between 8 and 12 years old his mom, a jazz piano player, would take him along to her concerts.

Adam stated in an interview with George Stroumboulopoulos on October 7th, 2012 that they used to practice in the garage as a 5-piece before they decided to move to Toronto.ДЄdam named his greatest influences as Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains, Sunny Day Real Estate, The Beatles and Jeff Buckley. Groundswell gained popularity in the local area and a few years later the band decided to move to Toronto to pursue their music career. They formed a band under the name Groundswell, which later evolved into Three Days Grace. In addition to his work with Three Days Grace he has been involved in collaborations with other bands like Art of Dying and Apocalyptica.ДЄdam was born in Peterborough, Ontario.В In 1995 he movedВ to NorwoodВ and he attended Norwood District High School where he met fellow bandmatesВ Neil Sanderson and Brad Walst. He conveys a lot of aggression and angst in his songwriting as well as in his voice. He can make his voice sound real gritty and coarse (which is prevalent in rock music)В whereas other times his voice sounds more distant and surreal. When I listen to AdamвЂ™s voice I noted a few interesting techniques that he uses. He is known for having a voice range which ranges from high tenor to medium low bass. He is the lead singer, rhythm guitarist and main songwriter for the band Three Days Grace.
