Nu-metal Titans Disturbed are celebrating a landmark anniversary of their monumental debut album, The Sickness<\/em>. Somehow it has been 25 years since they hit the scene! As they tour the country performing the album in its entirety, they stopped in Boston, with a sold out show at the TD Garden. Kicking off the night were Sevendust and Three Days Grace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Sevendust never had quite the same commercial success as Disturbed, the band were certainly significant in the nu-metal era. Frontman Lajon Witherspoon led the band through a short but powerful set, featuring six songs to get the crowd fired up. The bands’ energy was undeniable, and the perfect way to start off the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three Days Grace<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 2013, frontman Adam Gontier walked away from Three Days Grace. Bass player Brad Walst\u2018s brother Matt Walst replaced him, and the band has continued to have success over the years. Despite the continued hits, there have always been people calling for Adam\u2018s return. This winter, the band surprised everyone by announcing Adam\u2018s return – however Matt would not be leaving. The band became what they called Three Days Grace 2X, featuring both Adam and Matt as co-lead vocalists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a longtime fan of Three Days Grace and Adam\u2019s follow up band, Saint Asonia, I was interested to see how this would work out. Throughout their 12 song set, both singers were on stage the entire time. For the most part, they would only sing leads on the songs that they originally sang, while the other would add backup vocals. Previously, there would be a handful of songs that they would also play guitar while singing. Now neither singer played guitar while singing leads. Their counterpart would instead be in the background playing guitar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They kicked off with “Animal I Have Become,” featuring Adam singing leads, before going into “So Called Life,” with Matt singing leads. There was a lot of trading back and forth like this, and both singers would take time to talk to the crowd. The set featured their new song, “Mayday,” which features both of them on lead vocals. The final song of the night, “Riot,” did see the two of them trading off lead vocals as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The band has so many hits that were featured, like “The Good Life,” “I Hate Everything About You,” and “Not Too Late.” As an extra treat for the longtime fans, the band also played “Chalk Outline,” which hasn’t been in their sets for the better part of a decade. The only downside to their band being a supporting performance was that they only played for an hour. Songs like “Pain” and “Just Like You” were noticeably absent from the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The band’s performance was fantastic, and it was great to see Adam singing these songs with Barry, Neil, and Brad backing him up again. Having both singers certainly brings the best of both worlds to the fans. Honestly, if Adam had just come back replaced Matt as lead singer, I don\u2019t know that many fans would be clamoring to hear Adam sing any of the songs from the past decade, they would want to hear the old stuff. Having both singers allows both eras of the band to be represented and respected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While it was a great show, the concept of the two singers certainly feels a little gimmicky. I\u2019m excited to hear what their upcoming album will sound like, but I question if this is something the band can maintain for the long-term, or will they part ways with one of the singers after the upcoming album cycle?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
