I'm a fan (and you should be too) because... Why am I a fan? You might as well ask why I breathe. Three Days Grace and air...basically the same thing to me.
I must say, I haven't a Three Days Grace fan for an excessive amount of time, but I can guarantee that i am one of the most dedicated and obsessive fans out there. Three Days Grace to me, it's like oxygen. I wake up, and breathe in oxygen, just as I wake up and think of Three Days Grace. I NEED both.
The worst thing i could do here is sound like just another random fangirl, who likes their sound and thinks Adam is hot. I do NOT want to sound like that. Even though it is true, there is much more too it. More than i could ever explain. But, i'll give it a shot anyways.
Last year, about April 2007, i was watching Much Music, and I was getting intrigued by a certain video that had came up. It was called 'Animal I Have Become', by a band called 'Three Days Grace'. I had never heard of them before, but I turned off my Beyoncé CD(f***, i know) and listened to the whole song. I fell in love with it. It was so odd though, because before last year, I never really liked rock (what was I on??). But after hearing Animal I Have Become, I was starting to convert.
A few weeks later, i was listening to the radio, when a very interesting song came on. I listened to it, and immediately loved it. I found out that it was another song by Three Days Grace. I was really liking this band.
A couple months later, in September, i was again watching Much Music. A music video came on, titled 'Never Too Late'. I didn't even have to look at the band name, I automatically recognized it as that Three Days Grace band.
Those three songs became all i listened to for a couple of weeks. I decided then to look up all the songs from this band, because i liked their songs so much. I quickly downloaded all of their songs, and loved all of them. In addition to listening to this new band's music, i was also drawing away from the R&B crap i had liked before. I was being converted to rock.
After loving all the songs off the two Three Days Grace albums, i was curious to know what these talented rockers looked like. Even though i had seen a couple of their videos, i didn't really pay attention to the actual band members. I looked up a few pictures on google, and i noticed they were all pretty hot, and pretty damn cool. So i saved a couple of their pictures to my computer, which i would look at once in a while. It wasn't until later that i truly listened to the lyrics of the songs. I realized that all the songs related to me in some way, and it was so amazing to me how i could listen to that music, and it would change my emotions. I also realized that the lyrics reminded me of my mom, who passed away in 2005. This music was changing me, to a great extent.

That was last year.
Now, my love for this band has gotten so strong, i know everything about the band.
There is not a day that goes by without me listening to at least, at LEAST 5 of their songs.
There is not a day that goes by without me talking about them.
I know every single lyric to the songs, and the meaning behind them.
I got MySpace, solely to comment on all the members pages and to make friends who have the same love for this band as i do.
My facebook, myspace, nexopia, and msn are all overflowing with Three Days Grace-ness.
My desktop is always of Three Days Grace.
Everything reminds me in some way of Three Days Grace.
Everyone in my grade and in my family knows about this obsession.
I have been to two concerts, one in January, one recently in June.
For the June concert, i stood in the front row for 5 hours, just to be in the front when they came on.
My life's dream was to meet this band, because they changed me in almost every way.

I fulfilled that dream on June 21st, 2008, at approximately 6:30 pm.

That day was the best day of my life.

I am a TRUE fan of Three Days Grace. There is no other way to put it.

I will love them forever.
