Mental Health, Music and a Legacy of ROCK with Adam Gontier || Trevor Talks Podcast

- Adam Gontier is a rock singer and songwriter whose career spans multiple number 1 hits, Billboard music awards, and major placement by franchises such as WWE. As original frontman for Three Days Grace, it’s safe to say that Adam Gontier’s voice defined an era. Leading songs like “Never Too Late” and “Animal I Have Become” to record-smashing success, Adam wrote some of the most recognizable hard rock songs of the 2000s. In the process, he also brought mental health into the rock arena.
His impact didn’t stop with Three Days Grace. With his current band Saint Asonia, Adam Gontier continues to pen essential hard rock songs - most recently with Introvert and Extrovert, dual EPs that are combined into one full-length release. On this episode of Trevor Talks, Adam shares about how those two sets of songs tell a story that begins in quarantine and resolves on the other side. He also shares about why it matters to keep fighting stigma around mental health, and how music has been his lifelong outlet through his own journey through addiction into sobriety.
The conversation is a full circle moment for podcast host Trevor, who had his own interest in rock shaped by Three Days Grace’s music - as did thousands of other aspiring musicians and creatives. This is a truly unforgettable glimpse into the story and the mind of a rock legend.

I am disabled retired veteran and three days grace was always in my heart and saved my life
Adam Gontier is literally the best. I absolutely adore his song writing and his new band @SaintAsonia 😍
SAME!! My faves at the moment are "Chasing the light" and "break the mold"!
Smackdown Vs Raw 2007 absolutely changed my life. Three Days Grace, Rise Against, and Nonpoint. Hero and Monster by Skillet were in SvR 2010 I think. WWE used to pick some great music
DUDE YES!!!!! 06 & 07 we’re like the last phenomenal ones I remember in my childhood! So many good bands!
Animal I have become... RIOT!
Same here
Three Days Grace’s song “I Hate Everything About You” really helped me through an extremely difficult point in my life last year. Music, no matter what genre, is an amazing gift! 🙏🏻🤘🏻
Thank you Adam to speak up about depression
So grateful for his willingness to share with us. Such a legend!!
I had many encounters with suicidal thoughts in middle and high school, but Never Too Late and Life Starts Now saved my life countless times. If you can pass this along to Adam Gontier, thank you for saving my life.
Introvert Extrovert is my favorite album from Saint Asonia, because it sounds so much like Adam's TDG. i guess that would be the case with Saint Asonia in general, all their albums are great, but Introvert Extrovert feels nostalgic and refreshing at the same time, i feel at home listening to the songs from that album specifically.
Adam is such a legend.
SUCH A LEGEND!!!
Adam is definitely the person who has helped me through hard times with his music🖤
Great interview, loved It!
Incredible. So many of us in this together🔥⚔️
Great interview. Back in 2007 I heard my daughter listening to Three Days Grace. Growing up in the 80s listening to Def Leppard and Cinderella I was completely blown away. I was like " who is that" That sounds like real music. I actually felt cheated Growing up lol. Adam along with Jason Miraz were her 2 favorite singers. She took her life in 2016. She is in the music video for Saint Asonia"s Ghost. She would have been so happy to see herself in the video Can't wait to see Saint Asonia in Indiana with the rest of the siblings.
I’m celebrating the life she lived as I’m reading this, Peter. Thank you so much for sharing and for being kind enough to share her legacy with us! You’re family here. Merry Christmas!🎄
@@TrevorTalksPodcast Thank you. Merry Christmas
Adam Gontier 🖤💀🤘 Huge fun.Hearing his songs helped me through my darkest nights. I admire him,the struggle is real, I honestly respect him for his strength,the ability through his music he gave us hope that "It's never too late"
This interview hits hard, the evolution on his career.
I've been listening to Adam since 2014 on Three Days Grace, now almost 10 years later i still do and i love all the changes, this interview got me on the boat of memories, evolving just as his music, thanks for everything.
Dude- this comment is EVERYTHING!! Thank you so much for sharing this. He’s the GOAT and deserves that respect.
Thanks to Adam, I’ve been playing guitar for 2 years and 7 months. I’ve struggled with addiction, went to rehab, and I can really connect with that kind of pain. I love him and hope to meet him someday ❤
I have experienced depression and anxiety that began to really materialize when I was in high school and I really hated myself and I just wanted to not be myself anymore. I remember I had been bullied and I was dealing with some of my own problems. My problems seemed very small and insignificant so it was even more frustrating that I couldn’t get over it. I got into rock music in high school where I started listening to bands like Metallica, Staind, Linkin Park, Papa Roach, and of course, Three Days Grace. When I was in college, I really got into Breaking Benjamin, All That Remains, A Day to Remember, Pop Evil, Fozzy, and Five Finger Death Punch. I recently came across Saint Asonia and I absolutely loved the music. Thank you, Adam for sharing your story and such great music in both Three Days Grace and Saint Asonia and thank you for sharing your story. The song, Never Too Late is probably one of my favorite songs by Three Days Grace because it really spoke to me when overcoming my depression.
Thank you so much for this interview, I have recently been going through a lot with a loss of my daughter and just life I really love Adam he is one of my favorite artists ever thank you
I’m so sorry to hear about your loss but I am so grateful for the opportunity to be a light in this challenging time. Blessings!
