Killswitch Engage interview with Adam Dutkiewicz!

Killswitch Engage interview with Adam Dutkiewicz!

The Toronto Sun has posted an interview done by phone with KSE’s guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz. The title of the article is: “Engaging personality: Metal guitarist's self-deprecating humour a switch from the norm”…interesting!

Here’s few parts of it…

Toronto Sun: The band seems to get a lot of flak from metal purists for not being heavy enough.

Adam: “Yeah, there's metal fans that just want ripping guitar parts all the time and complete aggression. And I can't speak for the band, but I like having different elements in our material. I listen to all styles of music. Not just metal. So all the metalheads who say I'm not a real metalhead, well, maybe I'm not. But everyone's got their own thing, man. You won't catch me calling down anyone.”

Toronto Sun: How's your back? I understand you've had a chronic problem.

Adam: “Yeah, I've had several surgeries. I had disc herniations in 2007 -- pretty terrible extreme ones where I lost sensation below the waist actually. I couldn't walk. It was terrifying. I pretty much wrote off the band. I was pretty wrecked for half a year, maybe a little more. It was a pretty lengthy recovery. But lately I've been feeling very good. And now I wear a back brace onstage just to keep the lumbar stable.”

Corey Taylor interview from The Toronto Sun!

Corey Taylor interview from The Toronto Sun!

Corey Taylor, Slipknot frontman, did an interview with the Toronto Sun just before the band hit the road for Canada.

Check out the interview, give it a read and learn one of the most embarrassing albums that Corey owns…

For now, here’s a little part of it:

Toronto Sun: Your live show is pretty intense. How do you handle it?

Corey: It's like fighting the Civil War every night. And I mean all four years of the Civil War. It's brutal. I'm 35, but I feel like I'm 50. That's why I'm working out. I've gotta keep in shape to do this crap now, man. I used to be able to chug a bottle of Jack and get onstage. Now I gotta watch what I eat. But that's how much it means to me. It wouldn't be right to go up there and go through the motions. That's how bands die. I have enough respect for this to work for it. And at the end of the day if I'm not feeling it, I have enough respect to walk away. Besides, I wouldn't be able to fool our fans. Our fans can smell lies like farts in a car.
