“The Good Life” by Three Days Grace

"The Good Life" was the second single from Life Starts Now, the third studio album from Canada's Three Days Grace, and it reached radio on February 9, 2010. Howard Benson produced it, and Adam Gontier sings it with a sneer.

Drummer Neil Sanderson has said the band wanted the thing to sound like a witch was on her way, so they kept it dry and loaded the guitars with fuzz and octave pedals, an old trick he traced back to Zeppelin. What comes out is a strutting, spooky rocker with a grin under the menace. It went all the way to the top of the US Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart and reached 52 on the Canadian Hot 100, and AXS later counted it among the band's 10 best songs.
