*_3 Doors Down_*

3 Doors Down is an American rock band formed in 1994 in Escatawpa, Mississippi, by Brad Arnold (vocals and drums), Matt Roberts (guitar) and Todd Harrell (bass).The band signed to Universal Records after the success of their song "Kryptonite". The band has since sold well over 15 million albums worldwide since their debut album, The Better Life, which was released in 2000.

3 Doors Down was formed by then-drummer Brad Arnold, guitarist Matt Roberts and bassist Todd Harrell. The three were friends who had grown up together in Escatawpa, and who all shared a common interest in rock music. The band began playing locally around the city, playing a mix of both cover songs and original songs that would eventually be recorded on their first release. Brad Arnold eventually ended up not only drumming, but also acting as the group's singer, mainly because, as he puts it, "nobody else would do it, but I did and enjoyed it."

The band eventually began to tour outside of their city, and it was during a trip to Foley, Alabama that they came up with their official name. When the three men were walking through the town, they saw a building where some letters had fallen off of its sign, and it read "Doors Down." Since at the time they consisted of three people, they added the "3" to create "3 Doors Down."

A couple years after performing together, Todd Harrell asked guitarist Chris Henderson to join the band in order to make the sound more full. They recorded a demo CD of their original songs, which brought them both great publicity and a larger audience, as well as caught the attention of Universal Records, who eventually signed the band.

3 Doors Down's first album, The Better Life was released on February 2 , 2000, and went on to become the 11th best-selling album of that year, selling over 3 million copies. It has since been certified 6x platinum, thanks in large part to the international hit singles, "Kryptonite", "Loser", and "Duck and Run". A fourth single, "Be Like That", also did well and was actually re-recorded for the 2001 film American Pie 2, with alternate lyrics for the first 2 lines. This version is known as "The American Pie 2 Edit".

For recording the album, Brad Arnold recorded both the vocal and drum parts. However, when touring to support The Better Life, the band hired a drummer so that Brad Arnold could perform at the front of the stage.

The band's second studio album, Away from the Sun, was released in 2002 and since been certified 4x platinum in the United States and platinum in Australia. "Here Without You" and "When I'm Gone" proved to be the most successful singles from that album. "The Road I'm On" and "Away from the Sun" also charted, but with less success.

Session drummer Josh Freese was hired to record drums for Away from the Sun. Also, Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson produced and performed on three tracks for the record, "Dangerous Game", "Dead Love", and "Wasted Me", but only "Dangerous Game" would appear on the finished product. The band hired Canadian Daniel Adair to play drums for the Away From the Sun tour. He would go on to record the drums for the band's next studio release.

In 2003, 3 Doors Down released a live E.P. entitled Another 700 Miles consisting of recordings from a live performance by the band in Chicago, Illinois. Another 700 Miles has since been certified Gold in the United States. Besides featuring some of 3 Doors Down's hit singles from their previous two albums, the E.P. also contains a version of the popular Lynyrd Skynyrd song "That Smell".

In 2003, the band began hosting the annual "3 Doors Down and Friends" benefit concert, through the band's own charity The Better Life Foundation. In 2006, this event was held at the Mobile Convention Center, with proceeds benefiting Hurricane Katrina survivors. As residents of Escawtawpa, the members of the band saw the effects of Katrina's devastation
The band's third studio album, 2005's Seventeen Days, has since been certified platinum. "Let Me Go" and "Behind Those Eyes" charted with the most success. "Live for Today", "Landing in London" (on which Bob Seger provided back-up vocals and guitar), and "Here by Me" were also released as singles. During the Seventeen Days tour, the band appeared alongside southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd, as well as headlined many shows of their own.

Also in 2005, the band released a live DVD entitled Away from the Sun: Live from Houston, Texas. The DVD was produced and directed by Academy Award nominated Alex Gibney and Doug Biro. It features songs from both The Better Life and Away from the Sun, and even some early sketches of "It's Not Me" and "Father's Son", which were both eventually released on Seventeen Days.

Greg Upchurch, formerly of Puddle of Mudd, replaced Daniel Adair in 2005, when Adair left to accept the position as drummer and contributing member of Nickelback
3 Doors Down released their self-titled fourth album on May 20, 2008. It debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, selling 154,000 copies in its first week. It is the band's second consecutive #1 album on the chart after Seventeen Days, as well their fourth album to reach the Top Ten.The album contains the hit singles "It's Not My Time", "Train", "Let Me Be Myself" and "Citizen/Soldier", a song written as a tribute to the National Guard

Swe shto tju retji je Cryptonite (ili kako se wetj pishe)

Valjda Kryptonite... MA, nemam pojma, kriptonajt, i mi se frljamo sa engleskim

Meni je pesma "Here Without you" ubedljivo naj...
Mada ima još dobrih... "Landing In London", "Changes"... Onda, kako se zove ona..."When I'm gone" valjda, ili tako nekako...

Kryptonite takodje
to je preradjena stara pesma od onih starih filmova za supermena za onu seriju Smallvile

Ha, nisam znala da je Kryptonite prerađena Ok mi je ta pesma, ali nije mi baš nešto ostala u pamćenju

Love them <333 I apsolutno ne bih mogla da izdvojim samo jednu-dve omiljene pesme Citizen-Soldier je odlicna, kao i Runaway sa novog albuma, pored drugih dobrih. Ticket to heaven od "starijih" je isto dobra. So I need you mi je def jedna od najnajnaj <3 Obozavam i Let me go & Landing in London.

Balade su im predivne, ali su me pomalo udavile. Here without you, koliko god bila prelepa, presela mi je :S

Vala baš... Ja sam je konstantno slušala kad sam je tek provalila, ali sad me malo ubija u pojam
Inače, kako im se zove novi album?

3 doors down

? Kratko i jasno

Joj, ja tek sad videla temu kako treba. Apsolutno ih obožavam. Nisam imala pojma da postoji još ljudi koji ih slušajujer u mom okruženju takvih nema. A što se tiče pesama, najviše volim By my side i Duck and run i ove ostale...

JA sam se iznenadila kad sam videla koliko ih ljudi u mom okruženju, zapravo, sluša OD nekih zabavnjaka, do nekih deklarisanih metalaca, neverovatno

I jes' neverovatno. Ja mislila da ako ikada u životu nađem barem još jednu osobu pored ove jedne koja ih sluša, a koja mi je , igrom slučaja, član familije, ti će verovatno biti amerikanci, ili, neki stranci uopšteno.

P.S: Zašto ovde nema teme za Gardijane? Niko ih ne sluša? Ne voli?
