===''Us and the Night'' and death of Matt Roberts: 2014β2018=== From the end of 2013 into 2014, the band embarked on an acoustic tour entitled "Songs from the Basement" and toured around the US. In February 2014, Todd Harrell was arrested in [[Mississippi]] once again for a [[Driving under the influence|DUI]]. Afterward, the band released a statement that Harrell was permanently out of the band, and that they would continue with Justin Biltonen as his replacement. In June, Henderson announced that the band's next album would be entitled ''[[Us and the Night]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://loudwire.com/3-doors-down-chris-henderson-reveals-us-and-the-night-album-title/ |title=3 Doors Down Reveal 'Us and the Night' Album Title |website=Loudwire.com |date=June 17, 2015 |access-date=January 12, 2016}}</ref> In January 2016, the album's release date was revealed to be March 11, 2016.

Bush]]'s inauguration. They are good Mississippi and Alabama boys β they come from conservative families. You know, they're really good guys, but they have very different political beliefs. Because they played both Bush's inaugurations, they've obviously been on the conservative radar." Vail continued that the band's choice to perform had a lot to do with their "God, guns, and country black-and-white sort of viewpoint" and that "they spend a lot of time going to Iraq, doing service, playing for the troops."<ref name=":0" /> In the week following the performance, the band's ''[[The Greatest Hits (3 Doors Down album)|The Greatest Hits]]'' compilation album reentered the Billboard 200 at a new peak of No. 94; the album had debuted and peaked at No. 100 in 2012 and had been off the chart since April 2016.<ref>{{cite magazine |url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/7669825/billboard-200-chart-moves-3-doors-down-toby-keith-trump |title=Billboard 200 Chart Moves: 3 Doors Down & Toby Keith Return After Trump Inauguration Concert |first=Keith |last= Caulfield |date=January 26, 2017 |magazine=Billboard |access-date=March 11, 2017}}</ref> In February 2018, during an interview with [[Metro Times|Detroit Metro Times]], rhythm guitarist Chris Henderson stated about the performance, "it wasn't a Trump thing. That's what people don't understand. It was the inauguration of a president of the United States of America." and "this is history-making stuff. It's a one-in-a-lifetime chance to do something for your country. So that's why we did it."<ref>{{cite news |date=February 7, 2018 |last=Jordan |first=Jerilyn |title=3 Doors Down's Chris Henderson on why playing Trump's inauguration may be the band's own kryptonite |url=https://www.metrotimes.com/music/3-doors-downs-chris-henderson-on-sobriety-success-and-why-questions-about-playing-trumps-inauguration-may-be-the-bands-own-kryptonite-9104513 |access-date=September 26, 2024}}</ref> In 2018, 3 Doors Down embarked on the Rock n' Roll Express tour with Collective Soul and opening act [[Soul Asylum]].
