Answer from Katerina Tsytsareva[active]
I don’t know about the second group, I’ve never been a fan of them, and haven’t even heard of them, so here it is 😀
But the name of the group, Three Days Grace, translates as Three Days of Grace. Not grace, elegance, mercy or any other crap. Thank you!
According to Adam, the band's name came from the question: "If you only had three days, what would you change?"

Answer from Mikhail Gineevsky[newbie]
The name has nothing to do with grace and grace! Three days grace - Three days grace.
The band got its name from bass player Brad Walst while he was working as an accountant. He heard the term “three days grace period” - this is an economic term used to designate the period of time during which the debtor is given the opportunity to pay the amount owed without penalty. They were called that not because there were three of them. Here's how they explain it themselves:
"- Music is like liberation. We give vent to emotions only when necessary. We are not negative people at all. We consider only those things that concern us and that we would like to change... That's where our name Three comes from Days Grace If you had three days to change something, could you do it?
Adam says in one of the interviews.

The debut album from Toronto trio Three Days Grace is called Jive. Hailing from Norwood, Ontario, Canada, the band has produced a hard-hitting, uncompromising rock album filled with lyrical melody and lyrics that show the dark side of human behavior.
The first single, "(I Hate) Everything About You", deals with love-hate relationships; "Just Like You" - the struggle for one's individuality, Three Days Grace writes songs of internal struggle and desire for freedom.
There's something crazy in "Let You Down", a vocal progression in "Burn" and an intricate rocker groove in "Home." "There's a lot of crazy stuff in the world, and we put a lot of it into our songs," says drummer Neil Sanderson, the more talkative of the three. "I don't think it's easy to write about happy nonsense," adds singer-guitarist Adam darkly. "You don't have to fight for freedom when you're happy."
Adam and Brad grew up in Norwood, a town of 1,500 people where only one street had lights, but where real drama unfolded. "You look at people in a new way," Brad explains. "Everyone knows each other, and you can't hide anything. Maybe that's why we see not only the outside, but also what's inside a person." Neil is originally from Peterborough, just 25 minutes' walk from the big city that produced model/actress Estella Warren and musician Sebastian Bach.
The band was formed as the first rock band (under a different name with a different repertoire) back in high school, Adam isn't exaggerating when he says, "all 1,500 people in Norwood support the band." The guys didn’t organize to have their faces flashed on MTV, they didn’t crave records. They just love to play anywhere.
"We opened for a movie one time," says Neil. "We went on a cruise to Muskokas (Ontario cottage country), in my car with a trailer and a tent, playing in a lot of bars along the way." They added a couple of their own songs to their repertoire until they moved to Toronto in 1997. There they took the name of the group - Three Days Grace and performed only with original songs.
"Like any small group, when you get to a certain age, you start to realize you have three options to choose from. It's sport, drugs, or music. For us it was music," Adam explains. After settling in Toronto, they contacted an old manager who introduced them to local musician, songwriter and producer Gavin Brown. "We played our entire repertoire, and he picked out what he called the 'golden nugget,'" Adam recalls of the 90-minute piece they performed for him at the audition.
All songs are chosen in such a way that there is a sense of progression from the first to the last song.
EMI Music Publishing Canada President Mike McCarty wanted to hear more. The group spent a lot of time working with Gavin and recording "(I Hate) Everything About You", and eventually became a number one jazz single.
"Gavin and I had a lot of perspective. We started working with him a lot," says poet and composer Neil. "We loved the bands Kyuss and Sunny Day Real Estate, and Gavin has a lot of respect for the Beatles and their songwriting. He taught us that every song has to be amazing to make good songs that others will like." From Toronto, the group, which Neil jokingly called the "jazz crew", headed to Peterborough to the Gordon Best Theatre, where we had played a million times before, says Neil.
"We were well received there." This was the decisive reason for their trip to New York. "We were drinking wine with the president, Barry Weiss, and he was talking about our music and how he could listen to it forever," Neil says.
“When the president of a company gives that kind of feedback about their work, it's a good sign,” adds Adam.
In any case, to make the best records, he will stick to his rigid system. Systems - Mr. Gavin Brown, although some in America have not heard of the Canadian musician who made a platinum disc in the Canadian rock act Big Sugar, and played with rising star Danko Jones. Thus, Brown left Canada in search of a better life, and went to Long View Farms, a studio near Boston.
"We had been pre-recording for months leading up to Long View, so by the time we went to Long View we were well prepared, except for a few minor things."
Songs included "Let You Down", about deception, as well as "Scared". "Some of the songs were written a long time ago, others were written in a matter of days," Brad says. "Overrated," he adds, "was written in one day." Then there was Bearsville Studios in Woodstock, New York.
Both studios turned out to be ideal for these small towns; boys are easily distracted in large cities.
Bearsville is the studio where one of Adam's favorite albums, Jeff Buckley's Grace, was recorded.
Maybe after this people will understand that there is not such a big difference between a big and a small city.

Born in Norwood, Ontario (Canada)
His interest in music was instilled in him by his parents, who listened to completely different types of music when Adam was growing up (he was influenced by bands such as The Beatles, Sunny Day Real Estate, Jeff Buckley, Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains). On the band's website, Gontier wrote: "My mother is a musician, so she was really the person who introduced me to the experience of performing live music. She was the one who got me into singing live. When I was 12 years old, she took me to bars, where I sang with orchestras. It was the Seattle scene that inspired me to write my own songs."

In 2006, Adam underwent rehabilitation at SAMH (Center for Drug Addiction and Mental Health). It was after treatment that the songs “Animal I Have Become”, “Pain” and “GoneForever” were recorded. Later, a half-hour documentary was released about his drug addiction, called “Behind the pain,” where Adam openly talks about all the nightmares of the disease and the fight against it.

I can feel the energy
That changes in my chemistry
The atmosphere, the way I breathe
My automatic action is
To close my eyes and wander in
And wait until the madness ends

Looking through distorted eyes
A mirror that I can't recognize
No way out, no exit signs
I try to make myself believe
I"m only in a lucid dream
It"s like another world exists
I wanna go back into the abyss

Lost inside my head, I open up the door
Step right off the ledge, into the abyss
Nothing that I know, I can"t hear what you say
Am I already dead, into the abyss

Lost communication with the world outside
So much devastation in my world I hide
I fall into my own, into the abyss

Lost inside my head, cracks across the floor
Step right off the shelf

Into the abyss
Nothing that I know, I can"t hear what you say
Am I already dead, into the abyss

Translation: Abyss

I feel the energy
Changing my structure
And the emptiness around, the way I breathe.
My programmed action is
Close your eyes and just think
And wait until the madness evaporates.

Am I already dead? Into this abyss

I look with dim eyes,
Like looking into a mirror that I don't recognize.
There is no way out, no sign of retreat.
I'm trying to make myself believe
It's like I'm just dreaming
It's like it's like a completely different real world.
But I want to return to the abyss.

Confused in my thoughts, I open the door
I take a step from the edge, straight into the abyss.
I don't know anything and I can't hear you.
Am I already dead in this abyss?

Having lost contact with the outside world,
Drowning in the emptiness that I hide
I'm falling into my own abyss.

Tangled in thoughts, in cracks in the floor,
I take a step from the edge...

Straight into the abyss!
I don't know anything and I can't hear you.
Am I already dead? Dead in the abyss?

Maybe I like it.

But that's not true
And that I am to blame.
You can tell I'm sick inside

So what if I'm the craziest of all the psychos?
So what if I'm not just sick?
So what if I don't control myself?
Maybe I like it.
So what?
So what?

You can tell I'm going crazy
That's not entirely true
And that it's my fault
You can tell that I'm sick inside
But you don't know that's what I wanted
You can say anything
If it's not right, then I don't want it any other way!

So what if I'm the craziest of all the psychos?
So what if I'm not just sick?
So what if I don't control myself?
Maybe I like it.
So what?
So what?

And when I rise
This is the best it can be
And when I fell
I despaired.
And when I rise
This is the best it can be
And when I fell
I despaired.
I despaired.
I despaired.

So what if I'm the craziest of all the psychos?
So what if I'm not just sick?
So what if I don't control myself?
Maybe I like it.
So what?
So what?
