How did Three Days Grace get their name?

Answer 1

They didn't break up. Groundswell (Three Days Grace's previous name) broke up in 1997, but reformed that same year, renamed Three Days Grace. The band did not ever say why they broke up back then, but they are still together as of 2011.

However, as of 1/9/2013 lead vocalist Adam Gontier departed from the band due to "non life threatening health issue". The band is still going to tour with Shinedown, though Adam will not be with them, Matt Walst will join Three Days Grace for the tour. (Matt Walst is brother of Brad Walst, bassist for Three Days Grace, as well as is singer for My Darkest Days) The Band does not know what their future will be after the tour but they say "We are taking it one day at a time"

Answer 2

The bass player for Three Days Grace, Brad Walst, heard someone say 'three days grace' at a Business Class. He thought the meaning of the band name could be if you messed up your life, would three days be enough to fix it all. He told the rest of the band, and they all liked the name. So, that is why they are named Three Days Grace.

Answer 3

Three Days Grace is a Canadian rock band, formed in Norwood, Ontario, Canada in 1992, under the name Groundswell. After a breakup in late 1997, the band regrouped in 1997 under its current name and with a line-up consisting of guitarist and lead vocalist Adam Gontier, drummer and backing vocalist Neil Sanderson, and bassist Brad Walst. In 2003, Barry Stock was recruited as the band's lead guitarist.

Once in Toronto, the band became acquainted with local producer Gavin Brown. The band gave him several years of material that they had created since forming, and he "picked out what he called 'the golden nuggets', according to Gontier. Brown and the band polished the songs into a demo album which they gave to EMI Music Publishing Canada. The record label wanted to hear more material, and with Brown producing, the band created the song,"I Hate Everything About You", which attracted the interest of several record labels. The band was soon signed to Jive Records after being sought out by the company's president.
