I\u2019m trying to think. Let\u2019s do \u2018Sad but True.\u2019 Yeah, we warm up to that a lot,\u201d Walst said.<\/p>\n<p>When the host suggested that the band should make a cover of the song, Walst responded positively to the idea.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat would be cool. That\u2019s a great idea, actually. I\u2019ll ask the guys tonight,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The bassist\u2019s comments suggest that Three Days Grace may be considering adding the Metallica classic to their repertoire. No official announcement has been made regarding a cover version.<\/p>\n<p>Walst\u2019s enthusiasm for covering \u201cSad But True\u201d aligns naturally with Three Days Grace\u2019s established relationship with Metallica and their history of reimagining classic tracks from other artists.<\/p>\n<p>Records from Wikipedia show Three Days Grace\u2019s proven track record of covering songs by other iconic artists. The band has successfully performed covers of Chris Isaak\u2019s \u201cWicked Game\u201d and Fleetwood Mac\u2019s \u201cThe Chain.\u201d These renditions have showcased the band\u2019s ability to put their own spin on well-known tracks while preserving the original songs\u2019 essence.<\/p>\n<p>The musical bond between Three Days Grace and Metallica goes beyond mere admiration. Documentation from YouTube sources revealed that the bands recently shared the stage. Three Days Grace supported Metallica on tour dates at drive-in theaters across the United States and Canada. This touring experience has strengthened their musical connection and exposed the Canadian rock band directly to Metallica\u2019s fanbase.<\/p>\n<p>The timing of Walst\u2019s comments holds particular significance during Three Days Grace\u2019s current creative phase. Data from their discography records demonstrates how the band has evolved their sound while maintaining their post-grunge and alternative metal roots. This musical foundation makes them well-positioned to tackle a Metallica classic like \u201cSad But True.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A potential Three Days Grace cover of \u201cSad But True\u201d would represent another milestone in their career. It would add to their legacy of honoring influential rock and metal acts while showcasing their distinctive musical interpretation and style.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three Days Grace bassist Brad Walst recently discussed his favorite Metallica song and hinted at a potential cover during an interview shared on YouTube.
