Thank you Adam, I’ve been struggling for a while with dark thoughts and depression, this means a lot to me <3 Saw you live a few years ago, your voice is so powerful. Hope to see you again one day. Glad you didn’t go through with it. The world wouldn’t be the same.

I’m here because I saw him open the new guitar on Instagram, I love the sound of his voice. When I was a kid I knew of Linkin and Evanesence because they were really popular, but last year I kind of “discovered” Shinedown, Staind, Breaking Benjamin, Disturbed, and of course TDG and Saint Asonia, and I can’t stop listening! Wish he’d do Flawed Design acoustic too.

Well it’s good Adam talked to some people but I also think it depends what people you talk to not everyone is trustworthy or honest or empathetic so a degree of stoicism and self reliance emotionally would help many I think. Meditation maybe or music or creative writing like Adam are things people can do alone. Rock on though Adam you know I know where you are from and that you have been through hell I don’t add to your trauma by denying existence like some would. :metal:

I needed this. I’ve been following you since I was 15 (I’m 33 now) and I know I’ve always connected to your lyrics. Lately though, the last few years have been the darkest ever for me. The last month alone, I’ve been so far down. Seeing this video gave me a slight boost and I hope you know how thankful I am for that, even if it’s a slight one.

Very refreshing to see a compression/distortion styled vocalist not only keep his vocal ability throughout 20 years, but also master his technique to the point where he can sing the chorus on never too late with the compression fucking QUIETLY!!! I gotta be honest i was expecting him to do thw chorus an octave lower, wouldve been acceptable even for an acoustic cover. But i got chills seeing him do it in his mid voice like that authenticly. He moght be the only one who wpuld understand what i mean by all that but still, fucking inspiring
