KILLSWITCH ENGAGE’s ADAM DUTKIEWICZ: ‘JAMES HETFIELD Pretty Much Shaped The Guitar Player That I Am’
In a recent interview with RadioactiveMike Z, host of the 96.7 KCAL-FM radio program “Wired In The Empire”, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz spoke about the influence of METALLICA on his musical upbringing. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “James Hetfield has pretty much shaped the guitar player that I am. I grew up on METALLICA, pretty much. Those riffs taught me how to play guitar. Asked what his introduction to METALLICA was, Adam said: “It was a friend of mine at school. I’m a late bloomer, man. Right when ‘…And Justice For All’ came out [in 1988], that’s when I was, like, ‘What the hell is this? This is so sick.’ And then I kind of worked my way backwards. I feel like the entire catalog, from the ̵...

In a new interview with Danny Stoakes, URIAH HEEP guitarist Mick Box spoke about the progress of the recording sessions for the legendary progressive rockers’ 26th album. “We’ve just finished recording it,” he said. “We just okayed all the mixes from [producer] Jay Ruston.
