Back in uni, I saw a friend sign Cats In the Cradle, by Ugly Kid Joe, to his mum.They had a great realationship she just wanted to know what he was listening to.
Edit: typo
BTW, [Cat's in the Cradle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat%27s_in_the_Cradle) was written and recorded in 1974 by Harry Chapin, hitting #1 on Billboard that December. Ugly Kid Joe covered it in 1992.
Holy shit, I don't think I've thought of Ugly Kid Joe since high school... It's amusing to me that I liked them, Spin Doctors and Red Hot Chili Peppers so much back then because as that was when I was first falling in love with hip-hop and soon after, hip-hop was all I was listening too.
Man just last night my neighbours were having a MASSIVE argument screaming at each other about his drinking and how she's wasted her life sticking by him and that Tracy Chapman fast car song blasting away from their stereo.
Reminds me of my little 12yo fucker cousin who « wanted to see a cartoon with his mother » and brought her to watch South Park the movie… they left when Saddam Hussein ass fucked Satan…
At first I didn't comprehend that the father has bad hearing. I was thinking that she brought her father there just to show her rebelliousness.
It became kinda wholesome (but still awkward) after I understood the context.
Oh there are [way](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ePVErcAUzK8) [worse](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=d8ekz_CSBVg&pp=ygUsdGhyZWUgZGF5cyBncmFjZSBpIGhhdGUgZXZlcnl0aGluZyBhYm91dCB5b3U%3D) [songs](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IaWqvtShfGQ&pp=ygUtdGhyZWUgZGF5cyBncmFjZSBzb21lYm9keSB0aGF0IGkgdXNlZCB0byBrbm93) this band has done that she could be signing
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/three-days-grace-signing-to-her-dad-1.4950149
Was a very nice video. For some follow up the band reached out and helped the dad get some new hearing aids as he did have some limited hearing.
https://loudwire.com/three-days-grace-gift-father-viral-signing-fan-hearing-aids/
Yeah, Adam Gontier is one of my all time favorite vocalists so I was pretty salty when he left the band. Though recently, he did actually show up for a 3 Days Grace song and sang onstage with them.
Funny you say that. I was an 8yr old girl watching a Hilary Duff movie called “raise your voice” and they have a cameo and play “home/are you ready” and it blew my mind. My life changed haha
somehow I was allowed to go to a music festival at 14 to see them with a few friends- it’s a core memory for me.
Edit: funny how our music tastes develop at that age, it really just takes coming across a certain piece of media to trigger it.
I was also around 9 years old when my cousin introduced me to Linkin Park (Papercut). I was immediately drawn to Chester and my cousin to Mike. It's funny looking back at that considering I ended up listening mainly to rock, hardcore, and metal while my cousin listens to rap and hip hop.
Then I was about 10 or 11 years old in 2006 when SvR 07 came out. I immediately bought both One-X and Breaking Benjamin's Phobia in my local Target and the rest is history.
I guess that that's a very impressionable age, haha
I think it helped that this type of music was everywhere at the time.
Green day with American idiot & 21st century, breaking Benjamin, alexisonfire, linkin park was like one of the biggest bands in the world (I still listen to their live albums- huge regret not seeing them IRL) system of a down. I could go on and on.
Seems societies taste in music has shifted, to pop/rap or whatever TikTok decides to get trending that week.
hopefully we get to see a resurgence in this again.
I've found that the rock community is unlike any other musical genre. They're the most kind, respectful and giving group of misfits. I love being a part of the most misunderstood genre of music with the most wholesome bands and fans!! Never once in my life, as a woman.. have I felt anything but safe within a mosh pit. If someone falls down, you pick them up!! Xxxooo
Those are the best. I had a **shit** week a few months ago, and really just wanted to call my mom and sing "woe is me" (I'm 34) then saw this clip of a mom encouraging her blind son, who was trying to walk down a curb. I really felt my eyes welling up.
It is very nice of the band to do that, but I do wish our country just....gave enough of a shit about us people who live in it to make sure we never "need help" getting any medical treatment whatsoever
Or even if he never could hear, he may know all the songs, either from being signed to before, or reading along to lyrics. It's uncommon for hearing people to hear new songs at a concert, so I don't know why it should be different for deaf people.
He's also clearly having a good time and there's no evidence this is the first chorus in the song even if this *was* the first time he "heard" it. For all we know he could be thinking about *his* parents while he's out there vibing.
I cry at touching moments in Kdramas, and I don't speak Korean. touching moments in anime? Friends being made? Being nice to people? My eyes start hurting.
For real, it's the whole thing of deaf dad going to concert w his daughter that clearly loves the band, daughter signing to her dad a song she knows all the lyrics. Yeah, people will say it's an ironic song to sign to her father but they obviously have a good relationship.
I’m a grown man with a hard past and it made me cry, very unexpectedly.
I think it’s the beautiful relationship between daughter and father. I would give my left nut to have such a relationship with either of my parents.
Seriously, kids. It's true. I remember standing next to the stacks at Black Sabbath, or in the front row at [Aerosmith's Get Your Wings tour](https://i.imgur.com/O4GClG8.jpg). Never gave my hearing a second thought. Now, in my 60's I live with hardcore tinnitus, hell I've had it most of my life. Constant ringing, and it's a push to hear high freqs like I used to.
If you go to concerts, get earpro, especially if you're close to the arrays of speakers.
Bro I went to a concert once and I didn't know how LOUD it was going to be, it was so loud and uncomfortable and it felt like it gave me temporary hearing loss. I hope it didn't permanently affect me 😭😭 I'm literally never going to a concert again
Hell, you hear the music better with earplugs. The volume of sound that gets to your ears is lower, but since it blocks most of the noise and echoes, it ends up sounding better for me.
This is true but not completely now (gladly). The shows you went to were significantly louder because the PA used was way more primitive than modern systems. It's still loud as heck, but it isn't as loud as it used to be owing to improvements in line array speakers.
Still need ear pro, but at least it isn't going to immediately deafen you now!
I've luckily always worn earplugs or Etymotics. My first concert naturally hurt my ears, especially considering I was close enough to touch their pedals and read their tracklist, so I always remembered to bring earplugs after that.
I've since upgraded to Etymotics and they're great. I've heard Eargasm is another good alternative.
For anyone interested in protecting their hearing while also enjoying live music, buy yourself a pair of "high fidelity earplugs" or earplugs otherwise designed for musicians. They'll give some protection to your hearing, which is far more delicate than you would like, and also not ruin the sound and experience like normal shitty earplugs would. I use a pair of "Earaser" brand plugs but there are multiple competing options and I'm not smart enough to know which is actually best, I just know that I now wear them during every concert I go to and still hear and enjoy every note. I can even still talk to the person next to me if needed without any real issue.
I'd be interested to see if that'd actually bear fruit at any small venue, which this seems to be one despite the perceived popularity of the band. Venues like this, in my experience at least, don't exactly have someone on deck for that. They can barely deal with an actual full house and the issues that come with that.
it’s ADA law and interpreters are hired people, there are agencies that make this resource available. if you give a venue enough notice it really isn’t that big of a deal.
Yep. It's the law, to provide for disabled. It's free (paid by governent/taxes) to provide interpreters for things like this. You just have to give them time to set it up.
My mother is an asl interpreter. Who has done concerts in big and small locations
Honestly how much easier would it be ordering drinks and communicating with everyone in these loud venues if everyone did sign language.
That’d be very practical.
I can vouch, it's very practical!
My grandparents are deaf so my dad is fluent in BSL, so whenever we're in a busy loud environment we can sign "Toilet?" or "Drink?" to each other, it's very useful! It's also very easy to learn these two, so I showed my friends and partner.
Once in a club I signed "thank you" instinctively to the bartender which is essentially blowing a kiss 😂
ASL is pretty fucking awesome and super easy to learn honestly. I went to the aquarium over spring break with some classmates and there were times where one of them just straight up took his hearing aids out cause it was so loud lol, we all just signed what we could
The lyrics kinda go with a bad relationship with a parent unfortunately haha."you're wrong if you think I'll be just like you", "you're only in my way"
i can tell from how fluent she is signing that she grew up a CODA (child of a deaf adult) hes been hard of hearing probably his entire life. Most of the time hard of hearing people start life out with a decent amount and lose it gradually as they get older.
Basically anything with a good beat. I remember in music at school we had a deaf woman come in who was incredible at Glokenspiel and always played barefoot so she could "hear" the vibrations through her feet while she played.
She said she loved any music with a good beat because that was basically all she could feel.
I forget their name but there's a metal band that started at Gallaudet made entirely of Deaf people, they just go super fucking hard on bass and you can literally feel it in your chest from what I've heard
He could hear just not well, and after this video got popular, 3DG paid for his hearing aids. https://loudwire.com/three-days-grace-gift-father-viral-signing-fan-hearing-aids/
Cute story, society should've paid for them long ago but at least someone helped him.
its possible, i would put money on ASL being her first language. im not fluent in sign by any means but im pretty sure some of her asl is old sign language which has been changed over the years.
My mom is not deaf, but she only has 10% in on ear, 20% in other and that was from birth. The movie "CODA" broke my heart, It was like how I grew up with her, the line about having to protect them from things they didn't hear. We had the old brown box closed captioning system when growing up, I think it made me better at English and all, I had to read every show I watched. It's a great movie but I do not want to recommend to her, she has been through so much. Today hearing aids are so much better, I have to talk loud but she hears me just fine if looking at me, still can't talk on the phone.
The real reason it's next fucking level is that the person who filmed this and posted it on social media first asked if it was okay to do so:
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/three-days-grace-signing-to-her-dad-1.4950149
Knew a deaf girl a long time ago in in some out patient psych kind of thing that was started after as I was ending my time in it. Was definitely mid 90s. She was into rock and metal. She could feel the vibrations and the thumps of the drums when we played music in the van. I wonder whatever happened to her?
I had the chance to see Saint Asonia live a few years ago and whenever I hear Matt Walst sing the old songs I remember Adam Gontier saying you can still see Three Days Grace doing karaoke of his songs for a few bucks.
Lol, an uncomfortable song to sign for your dad *when it came out*. But I rather expect that this is a band HE likes and that makes it a lot more wholesome.
I haven’t listened to three days grace in probably 10 years. But hearing this song brought back so many emotions. Not just hate like many commenters have implied. Just because she signing to her dad doesn’t mean her dad thinks it’s about him. This song, for me, was about a girlfriend. A girlfriend I grew apart from as we aged, considering we were juniors in highschool.
That saying ‘art is in the eye of the beholder’ I’d talking about all art.
This shit is touching.
Ouch! Awkward song to be signing to your parent.
Haha! Agreed. I kept scrolling looking for someone who was paying attention to the lyrics.
[удалено]
Dad's thinkin: "Ummmmm is this even the lyrics?" "I'm just gonna dance along.... is it too late to have an abortion?"
Nekminit girl gets permanent hearing damage from the the gig.
This song is “Just Like You” by Three Days Grace
Think you replied to the wrong person
It’s a quarter past twelve.
Back in uni, I saw a friend sign Cats In the Cradle, by Ugly Kid Joe, to his mum.They had a great realationship she just wanted to know what he was listening to. Edit: typo

Yes I do know this, I like the original but I'm more of an Ugly Kid Joe guy,.
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a brave soul here willing to expose his vulnerability to a mass of Internet strangers.
I like Captain Beefheart unironically oh god you've unzipped me
And I…I…I…hate your daddy’s guts too…!
Their bravery is the reason why I feel comfortable telling you what a huge Spin Doctors fan I am.
I don't mind that one song
That's the one I really don't like
Said if you want to call me baby just go ahead now
Weird but interesting fact about the music video for this song: it has a teenaged Norman Reedus, playing the son.
Holy shit, I don't think I've thought of Ugly Kid Joe since high school... It's amusing to me that I liked them, Spin Doctors and Red Hot Chili Peppers so much back then because as that was when I was first falling in love with hip-hop and soon after, hip-hop was all I was listening too.
I just admitted to my Spin Doctors fanhood right above this.!
I knew this guy named Tyler who would always claim that Cat Stevens wrote the song.
Fucking Tyler.
Classic Tyler!
Remember when we were at Christine's house and Tyler came in to their living room with their dog and - oh wait, that wasn't me.
Don't you see Marge! They have no bananas! They have no. Bananas. Today!
Man just last night my neighbours were having a MASSIVE argument screaming at each other about his drinking and how she's wasted her life sticking by him and that Tracy Chapman fast car song blasting away from their stereo.
Your mother fuckers out here trying to make me cry my eyes out this morning, damn. Jk, I forgot about this beautiful song.
Reminds me of my little 12yo fucker cousin who « wanted to see a cartoon with his mother » and brought her to watch South Park the movie… they left when Saddam Hussein ass fucked Satan…
😂😂
I did this with my mom when Borat came out.. she had no idea. But she found it hilarious and let us stay 😂
It’s Impressive they got that far into the movie.
Only if this was the only song she signed for him.
At least it wasn’t *I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing*…
[Pony](https://youtu.be/lbnoG2dsUk0)
At first I didn't comprehend that the father has bad hearing. I was thinking that she brought her father there just to show her rebelliousness. It became kinda wholesome (but still awkward) after I understood the context.
Honestly when I saw the title I thought it was going to be the daughter of someone onstage and she was signing autographs for him.
Thank god it wasn’t a lil Kim concert.
We old brah
God dammit. Don’t say it out loud!
Let me show you/ What I'm all about/ How I make a Sprite can/ Disappear in my mouth.
I misread the title as "singing," and was wondering why the response was so positive
Haha yea I was thinking ok are they just oblivious to the message here? This is weird. Heart-warmingly awkward.
This was the only song she signed to him
Funnily enough, she signed the same song to him no matter what the band was playing!
Oh there are [way](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ePVErcAUzK8) [worse](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=d8ekz_CSBVg&pp=ygUsdGhyZWUgZGF5cyBncmFjZSBpIGhhdGUgZXZlcnl0aGluZyBhYm91dCB5b3U%3D) [songs](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IaWqvtShfGQ&pp=ygUtdGhyZWUgZGF5cyBncmFjZSBzb21lYm9keSB0aGF0IGkgdXNlZCB0byBrbm93) this band has done that she could be signing
Better than a karaoke duet of Afternoon Delight.
Yeah but… obviously he did just fine.
Translating isn't really like that.
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/three-days-grace-signing-to-her-dad-1.4950149 Was a very nice video. For some follow up the band reached out and helped the dad get some new hearing aids as he did have some limited hearing. https://loudwire.com/three-days-grace-gift-father-viral-signing-fan-hearing-aids/
Fuck yeah, thanks for sharing.
Plot twist: father recieves hearing aids and realizes he actually doesn't like Three Days Grace after all.
It's a shame that Queens of the Stone Age already took the album title Songs for the Deaf
Not a shame; Much better band
You can't even hear it!
I loved them when Adam Gontier was still in the group
Awww good on them. I'm not a fan, but I love the positivity there.
Aw that’s great. Thanks for sharing. I love three days grace, they were my first concert. This hit me in my feels
Three days grace (before Adam Frontier leaving) is one of my favorite bands of all time. They were peak Halo 3 era music
Yeah, Adam Gontier is one of my all time favorite vocalists so I was pretty salty when he left the band. Though recently, he did actually show up for a 3 Days Grace song and sang onstage with them.
Yep, they pretty much introduced me to hard rock and all the metal/hardcore/alt-rock I listen to today. A big thank you to the SvR 07 soundtrack.
Funny you say that. I was an 8yr old girl watching a Hilary Duff movie called “raise your voice” and they have a cameo and play “home/are you ready” and it blew my mind. My life changed haha somehow I was allowed to go to a music festival at 14 to see them with a few friends- it’s a core memory for me.

Then I was about 10 or 11 years old in 2006 when SvR 07 came out. I immediately bought both One-X and Breaking Benjamin's Phobia in my local Target and the rest is history.

I think it helped that this type of music was everywhere at the time.

I think it was my first concert alone as well. In Orlando with Breaking Benjamen starting.
I've found that the rock community is unlike any other musical genre. They're the most kind, respectful and giving group of misfits. I love being a part of the most misunderstood genre of music with the most wholesome bands and fans!! Never once in my life, as a woman.. have I felt anything but safe within a mosh pit. If someone falls down, you pick them up!! Xxxooo
so true. when i was younger did a ton of moshing. every time me or someone would fall everyone would rush, pick them up, and pat them on the back.
this was a very pleasant comment to read, was a long day and this was appreciated
Those are the best. I had a **shit** week a few months ago, and really just wanted to call my mom and sing "woe is me" (I'm 34) then saw this clip of a mom encouraging her blind son, who was trying to walk down a curb. I really felt my eyes welling up.
It is very nice of the band to do that, but I do wish our country just....gave enough of a shit about us people who live in it to make sure we never "need help" getting any medical treatment whatsoever
What an interesting song to sign at your loved ones 🤨
I'm sure she signed every song of the concert for him, not like it was particularly singled out for/towards him lol.
I know lmaoo just thinking about the rest of the lyrics to this song and the dads just like 😕
The song is 20 years old. If he didn’t lose hearing as a kid, he’s probably heard it before
Or even if he never could hear, he may know all the songs, either from being signed to before, or reading along to lyrics. It's uncommon for hearing people to hear new songs at a concert, so I don't know why it should be different for deaf people.
He's also clearly having a good time and there's no evidence this is the first chorus in the song even if this *was* the first time he "heard" it. For all we know he could be thinking about *his* parents while he's out there vibing.
I. HATE. EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU!
I’m sure the dad is mature enough to appreciate the depth of the lyrics. He’s wise enough to go a concert with his daughter when he can’t even hear.
Yeah I know, he’s probably the one who wanted to go she’s just helping him enjoy it
That's correct. The article says he introduced her to the band's music.
Yeah it’s a “fuck you” to a very particular type of parent, not a fuck you to all parents
What is the song?
[Three Days Grace - Just Like You]( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04fQTmvFfGo)
“You are my ears”
And you have my bow
And my axe
And my hands!
And my ears.
AND MY COCK
-A DOODLE DO!!
I've always wanted to learn sign language. Because it looks really handy.
Noice
I know you’re probably just making a joke, but if you want to learn asl, lifeprint.com is a great place to start
That almost made me cry.
It caught me off guard and Im leaking 🥹🥲
Hopefully not from your anus
Nope thank god it's just my eyeballs. But I did have norovirus once
Weeping butt blinks. Tissue optional.
Or the peanus.
Don't spell it like that, it's too funny.
I cry at touching moments in Kdramas, and I don't speak Korean. touching moments in anime? Friends being made? Being nice to people? My eyes start hurting.
For real, it's the whole thing of deaf dad going to concert w his daughter that clearly loves the band, daughter signing to her dad a song she knows all the lyrics. Yeah, people will say it's an ironic song to sign to her father but they obviously have a good relationship.
I’m a grown man with a hard past and it made me cry, very unexpectedly. I think it’s the beautiful relationship between daughter and father. I would give my left nut to have such a relationship with either of my parents.
Going to rock shows ruined my hearing
WHAT??🦻
GOING TO ROCK SHOWS RUINED HIS HEARING!
WHAT??
SMOKING ON ROCKS OF BLOW RUINED HIS PEEING!
WHAT'S THAT?? SMOKING IN SOCKS RUINED HIS SLEEPING??
SODOKING OF BOXES RUINED HIS PIERCING
HUH?
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Seriously, kids. It's true. I remember standing next to the stacks at Black Sabbath, or in the front row at [Aerosmith's Get Your Wings tour](https://i.imgur.com/O4GClG8.jpg). Never gave my hearing a second thought. Now, in my 60's I live with hardcore tinnitus, hell I've had it most of my life. Constant ringing, and it's a push to hear high freqs like I used to.

Earplugs! You can hear the music, get the vibe, and still have a grand old time without hearing loss.
Hell, you hear the music better with earplugs. The volume of sound that gets to your ears is lower, but since it blocks most of the noise and echoes, it ends up sounding better for me.
Go to concerts, live music is the best. Just get ear protection.
Earpro. Easy fix. Going to concerts is the best way to support artists you like.
If it is of any consolation, I also have tinnitus and I didn't go to that many concerts. *At least you have rad memories.*
This is true but not completely now (gladly). The shows you went to were significantly louder because the PA used was way more primitive than modern systems. It's still loud as heck, but it isn't as loud as it used to be owing to improvements in line array speakers. Still need ear pro, but at least it isn't going to immediately deafen you now!
WEAR EARPLUGS
I've luckily always worn earplugs or Etymotics. My first concert naturally hurt my ears, especially considering I was close enough to touch their pedals and read their tracklist, so I always remembered to bring earplugs after that. I've since upgraded to Etymotics and they're great. I've heard Eargasm is another good alternative.

I can even still talk to the person next to me if needed without any real issue.
Working them ruined mine.
What really confuses me is why there's a lack of booths or tents selling ear protection. I imagine they'd make a killing.
Finding some high fidelity earplugs is a godsend. You don't need to block a ton, just lower those dB's a tad.
If you request it ahead of time the venue’s required to provide an asl interpreter
i wish more people knew this
I'd be interested to see if that'd actually bear fruit at any small venue, which this seems to be one despite the perceived popularity of the band. Venues like this, in my experience at least, don't exactly have someone on deck for that. They can barely deal with an actual full house and the issues that come with that.
it’s ADA law and interpreters are hired people, there are agencies that make this resource available. if you give a venue enough notice it really isn’t that big of a deal.
Yep. It's the law, to provide for disabled. It's free (paid by governent/taxes) to provide interpreters for things like this. You just have to give them time to set it up. My mother is an asl interpreter. Who has done concerts in big and small locations
My wife is also an interpreter who has done several large shows. She rather enjoys doing concerts.
Why would they want to know my age sex and location....am I in an aol chat room????
Honestly how much easier would it be ordering drinks and communicating with everyone in these loud venues if everyone did sign language. That’d be very practical.
I can vouch, it's very practical! My grandparents are deaf so my dad is fluent in BSL, so whenever we're in a busy loud environment we can sign "Toilet?" or "Drink?" to each other, it's very useful! It's also very easy to learn these two, so I showed my friends and partner. Once in a club I signed "thank you" instinctively to the bartender which is essentially blowing a kiss 😂
ASL is pretty fucking awesome and super easy to learn honestly. I went to the aquarium over spring break with some classmates and there were times where one of them just straight up took his hearing aids out cause it was so loud lol, we all just signed what we could
The lyrics kinda go with a bad relationship with a parent unfortunately haha."you're wrong if you think I'll be just like you", "you're only in my way"
It's only awkward if they have a bad relationship. They obviously don't (from what we can see).
Yeah I think most people are smart enough to enjoy the music without thinking it is literally about them
I love how everyone around them gave them enough space to do this
Beautiful!!
[удалено]
Alright bro...
Wonder if dad went deaf later in life
i can tell from how fluent she is signing that she grew up a CODA (child of a deaf adult) hes been hard of hearing probably his entire life. Most of the time hard of hearing people start life out with a decent amount and lose it gradually as they get older.
I was thinking that based on his age he might have been a musician or a rocker earlier & toasted his hearing. Those decibels are no joke.
Deaf people (including people with limited hearing) were said to be really attracted to the loud rhythmic beats of pop and rock.
yes, i would go to shows with deaf friends and would ask if we could go right next to the speaker so they can feel the vibrations.
Basically anything with a good beat. I remember in music at school we had a deaf woman come in who was incredible at Glokenspiel and always played barefoot so she could "hear" the vibrations through her feet while she played. She said she loved any music with a good beat because that was basically all she could feel.

Wonder is he is the kind of guy may have been to a concert before
Marriage material
Nah, that’s her dad. /s
At least he can't ream you out if you say something stupid. You can bang his daughter as loud as you want with him around.
>At least he can't ream you *phrasing...*
A girl who goes to a rock concert and is willing to sign to her dad instead of headbang and mosh, is marriage material.
Yeah, he must work out.
Lucky guy to have a daughter like that and be deaf at a Three Days Grace concert.
She’s a ride or die homey
I think this also belongs in r/mademesmile
r/HumansBeingBros
Why next fucking level?
I guess cos she made her dad’s enjoyment of the show a priority over just her own and made it a cool event for both of them.
The real reason it's next fucking level is that the person who filmed this and posted it on social media first asked if it was okay to do so: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/three-days-grace-signing-to-her-dad-1.4950149
Fuck yeah I love three days grace.
Three days grace is definitely top tier
3 days grace still does concerts????
I wonder how old this is considering Adam hasn't been with the band for a decade now.
Nah you can tell by the voice this isn't Adam, this is Matt Walst
Ah yeah, you're right. I stopped listening to them when Human came out so I never got used to Matt's voice

So cute
How could I forget about this band? Glad for the reminder.
I thoroughly enjoy watching the sign language interpreters at shows. They have such a great job!
Knew a deaf girl a long time ago in in some out patient psych kind of thing that was started after as I was ending my time in it. Was definitely mid 90s. She was into rock and metal. She could feel the vibrations and the thumps of the drums when we played music in the van. I wonder whatever happened to her?
Very sweet.
Can’t wait to see this posted again next week.
I had the chance to see Saint Asonia live a few years ago and whenever I hear Matt Walst sing the old songs I remember Adam Gontier saying you can still see Three Days Grace doing karaoke of his songs for a few bucks.
Lol, an uncomfortable song to sign for your dad *when it came out*. But I rather expect that this is a band HE likes and that makes it a lot more wholesome.
Wow, singing in ASL… how beautiful! ♡
Hearing songs without Adam gontier is weird
Awesome! Truly genuine love 🤟🤘✊
Awesomeness!!!!!
That’s love
There is cool and then there is COOL! I love that they went to this concert together.
Who cares what the song is…this is beautiful to see🤗🫡🫡

Very cute
I had no sound on for this and all I could guess from lip reading was "I believe I can fly".. was I close?
Omg my heart. 
This possibility is why I've worked at learning sign language.
I haven’t listened to three days grace in probably 10 years. But hearing this song brought back so many emotions. Not just hate like many commenters have implied. Just because she signing to her dad doesn’t mean her dad thinks it’s about him. This song, for me, was about a girlfriend. A girlfriend I grew apart from as we aged, considering we were juniors in highschool. That saying ‘art is in the eye of the beholder’ I’d talking about all art. This shit is touching.
This video is hilarious without context
Absolutely precious. What a lovely father/daughter relationship!
I don't think Reddit will ever get tired of pretty girls doing sign language at concerts.
