Adam D Killswitch Engage Interview with Takamine Guitars

[551Danny]

If anyone knows the model name of his acoustic electric takamine let me know the sound cannot be matched it's a beauty

[SirSpazzalot]

Later he destroys it.

[videoscapo]

what name of the song??

[Mitchellms123]

@videoscapo inhale off of the end of heartache.

[christianj555]

@videoscapo and the one at the beginning and end is lost off their self titled album

[ecwtable]

@videoscapo Song on debut is Lost

[sinkingpeople]

lmfao, i cant believe that over a year ago i made a comment ragging on a7x and the argument is STILL going on! im so sorry lmfao!

[djxsplo]

if you people think calling out A7X is cool get a life. This isnt a war of music. If you really know music you would appreciate tons of metal and rock. Get over yourselves. There obviously good because they have millions of fans. Killswitch Engage is awesome and have the coolest riffs ever but A7X is also great. They have some epic solos that could own anything you try and play. Metal is metal now deal with it.

[Shephelio21]

The CT show was awesome

[24keitho]

whats the first song

[worldwarwe]

the song at :36 used to be my alarm in the mornings

[Forsecs]

Where did he get that hat? I want it!

[CuttingOliver]

dudes A7X and KSE are amazing bands, you cant compare them though, they are nothing alike

[blopop]

without a name is the second acoustic song

[182Xtreme]

@blopop you mean inhale

[VHDT10]

@blopop I love that song. I hope the next cd is produced by only Adam.

[VHDT10]

@blopop yeah Inhale. They are completely similar but both awesome in their own way

[SynVenganceShadows]

A7x and Kse are both amazing so to the highest rating comments no one sucks

[bnico18]

Haha he smashes that guitar pretty soon after that interview

[Chaz6993X]

Avenged Sevenfold BLOWS HUGE COCK. :D

[barneycockburn]

@Chaz6993X Ya pretty much!

[PhilTheWankah]

@Chaz6993X Some people might say, but they still dont blow as comfortably as your mother. Snap. Have a nice day.

[Chaz6993X]

@PhilTheWankah Trololo

[severelyKILLED15]

@Chaz6993X and do you have anything to support your claim?

[666jony666]

Beautiful sounding and looking guitars .

[SuperBaller2020]

I love both bands (A7x and KSE) there not even in the same genre. they both have great guitarist, singers, and bassist, but i think the Rev was a whole lot better drummer than foley. still all an all they both have great bands an i love the fact they sound the same on cd an when they play live.

[xLesPaulGibsonx]

Love Takamine guitars and Adam. Very Nice classic acoustic Electric tone.

[8636qwerty]

what is the song in the beginning

[vicous656]

YEEAAHHHHH GOOOO ADDAAAMMM!!!!!!!

[19wayfarer19]

inhale.....LOVE IT, QUEUE BREATHE LIFE!!!!!!

[danutd94]

This is the first time I've seen Adam D actually talking seriously.

[nategKsE613]

hes is s0 d0wn t0 earth!

[zactodd1]

haha @ everyone arguing about a7x and killswitch. you do realise that arguing on youtube is like the special olympics..... no matter who wins your still a retard.

[xXHardc0rExFaNXx1]

They changed there style too fast.

[Psychoguy99]

i live in connecticut :D

[musicsol]

incredible guitarplayer/producer/drummer!­!!

[iankstarr]

Best sideburns in metal.

[snapascrew]

In all interviews like this Adam should state that he's a sound engineer from berklee school of music because I'm sure if a slayer fan stumbled upon this video they wouldn't take it seriously because of Adam's normal antics but this guy has the best ear out there for metal production. After Andy Sneap!

[dablueiguana]

I remember hearing that Adam D doesn't practice guitar. The only time he plays guitar is during rehearsal and live.

[pivetlord13]

whats the song at 0:40!

[MrRatfinkJR]

@pivetlord13 Inhale

[adan921]

@pivetlord13 their instrumentals confuse me lol idk why lol but most likely its Inhale from the album The End Of Heartache

[Killswitch1991]

@pivetlord13 inhale

[dbergonzoni]

yeah, definitely should have played the guitar a little. lol. But Adam D is boss.

[dabears232323]

saw them in chicago i love adam. his cape was awesome haha

[chicarelli1983]

when i parked at mcdonalds for this concert im walkin to the meadows i saw adam just jogging down the road..i was ...what the fuck..most random part of the day..had a blast

[The666999ss]

What song do they play acoustic?

[killjoy987]

inhale

[jykonrock]

it'd be cool if he actually SAMPLED it.

[doomshredderX]

damn...i want those burns of his

[8yearsahead]

im growing some just like his.

[kaboose111]

Same for me dude

[RhoadsRIP]

Adam D, reminds me of my uncle.

[rossapher24]

lol kinda for me too...except not as wild. hes the same age, both live in massachusetts.

[stevieb89]

it's so funny how insincere he is in this

[Spliffor]

@stevieb89 What do you mean :d?

[takeaimnfire]

@stevieb89 what's even funnier is they probably gave him a bunch of money for it.

[MrMetalcoreperson]

this is a little more serious than his other interviews but its still really awesome

[ElementalSobe]

i watched him do this interview in hartford

[xXKushmanXx]

He always has that hat during an interview XD

[Redbird573]

What model Takamine guitar is that he's holding?

[daytonmoreton]

Are you fucking kidding me? The new album is a compilation of complete mainstream watered down garbage. I know that anyone that loved As Daylight Dies and The End of Heartache was completely let down by this piece of shit album.

[budeluv]

i think the new album is alright but this is coming from a guy who loves old killswitch more.

[thebassman10101]

I agree that it wasn't as good as the last 2, but it wasn't shit

[ballsackk09]

whats the song that starts at 0:35

[Xxvegas]

Inhale, its fucking awsome! <3

[snapascrew]

inhale from the end of heartache. it's an interlude into breathe life

[mcgeeboyz1]

That would be an Instrumental called : Inhale

[livepunx]

endorsment forced inerview

[neverbleedtre]

no there first ablum was the best hands down

[caniell101]

Thanks Adam D. for giving CT some love.

[travisfreeman01]

ive never seen adam d this serious before lol

[Bojiggles1214]

I love defensive band boys.

[chanjcw1]

they said they use Alvarez acoustics on the new record....wtf

[Bojiggles1214]

lmao he's actually calm for once, and sadly their new album sucked :/

[thestupidbacon]

you suck. the new album is great

[sinkingpeople]

new album is the best one yet

[Bojiggles1214]

Right, Howard's voice sounds like he's going through fucking puberty, and all the lyrics are pretty much ripped off from the past albums, nothing creative. Sounds more mainstream.

[sinkingpeople]

think what you want but they are better than fucking avenged sevenfold

[sinkingpeople]

yes i agree with you, but in my opinon and i respect your opinion because you actually gave them a try.. but i think that this on is the best one yet. but i think their best album so far is daylight dies

[Bojiggles1214]

You like less heavier songs, don't you?

And agreed As Daylight Dies (special edition) was their best album. I almost liked Alive Or Just Breathing just as much though.

[sinkingpeople]

dude i love everything! just like the combo of the amazing guitar riffs and Howards voice is amazing.. and all of their soft songs are about love and right now i am in love.

[Needleskaine]

Even Adam's emo pussy song is better than they are.

[synysterBRO]

@sinkingpeople cant compare those bands dude

[synysterBRO]

@sinkingpeople cant compare those bands dude

[synysterBRO]

@sinkingpeople cant compare those bands dude, a7x is goin for their own sound and they got it, killswitch is goin for their own sound n they got it to, the bands arent comparable

[sinkingpeople]

@synysterBRO but you cant come onto KsE videos claiming A7x is better that the kid did.. when you do that expect someone to say something.. but A7x is a respectable band

[Intotheorchard]

@synysterBRO You act as if two metalcore bands are so different. You are right, you can't compare them, because KSE actually has a singer that can sing.

[synysterBRO]

@Intotheorchard lol matt and howard are amazing singers, just examples to show you why matt is also amazing, listen to thses songs from start to finish....the obvious song - Afterlife, the wicked end, betrayed, bat country, AND LOST DUDE, OMG HES MY FAV SINGER CUZ OF THAT SOONG, and dont say "aww your dumb you dont know what music is.." well i actually know how to play pretty much every song kse and a7x so yea...

[Intotheorchard]

@synysterBRO I have heard every song avenged sevenfold has ever released. I listened to them when their first album came out. Matt is not an amazing singer, at all. He used to have pretty good growls/screams during the Waking the Fallen era, but now, not so much. His singing was never amazing. Howard is by far a better singer.

[RipRevJimmySullivan]

@Intotheorchard I agree that howard is the better vocalist (although jesse was better..), but musically, i would say that avenged sevenfold wins. Brian and Zach are one of the best living guitar duo's. Just my opinion though. Not bashing Killswitch at all..

[1111krol]

@Intotheorchard totally agree dude ;) however ya gotta admit his style of singing kinda fits with a7x 's sound

[Wrathofa7x]

@sinkingpeople they are not better than avenged sevenfold, just a different style, i dont get why everyone talks down on a7x, they dont have talent and have put out some good music, if yo udont like em that's cool, but their are others that do like them, i love killswitch and many many many other bands out there, and adam D is amazing!

[Wrathofa7x]

@Wrathofa7x whoops, i meant they DO have talent.... both KSE and A7X are amazing bands.

[sinkingpeople]

@Wrathofa7x this was a while ago.. read more than the first comment.. i already restated it

[gammagamma08]

@sinkingpeople No they're not.

Fuck you.

[sinkingpeople]

@gammagamma08 then go back to your bad music!

[lilpeaceacrap]

@gammagamma08 yea they are

[alildrumhappy]

@sinkingpeople avenged sevenfuck. lol.

[MajorPonch]

@sinkingpeople They're too different to compare. Not even the same genre. Not at all.

[sinkingpeople]

@MajorPonch bro, that was a year ago..

[AccurateEstimateftw]

@sinkingpeople get the fuck out of here. I love Avenged and Killswitch they're not even same genre plus Synyster Gates let alone plays harder stuff than Killswitch

[sinkingpeople]

@AccurateEstimateftw hey kid, shut your fucking face cause that comment was a year ago. blow it out your ass. stop getting butthurt

[AccurateEstimateftw]

@sinkingpeople lmao you're not even half my size but you're talking shit

way to go kid :)

[sinkingpeople]

@AccurateEstimateftw my comment was a fucking year old, get over yourself

[XXkAoTIcDo0mXX]

@sinkingpeople A7x isn't even music. Their only good aspect is dead. They are a useless band now...so...DEAL WITH IT.

[sinkingpeople]

@XXkAoTIcDo0mXX right?

[XXkAoTIcDo0mXX]

@sinkingpeople Yes.

[pabloAXMO]

@sinkingpeople hell yeah!

[Metalrawrr]

@sinkingpeople Stop comparin bands dammit! xd Both awesome bands

[sinkingpeople]

@Metalrawrr bro, the comment was a year ago

[Metalrawrr]

@sinkingpeople ahhaa true xD But well, you changed your mind?

[Xavyen]

@sinkingpeople Why call it fucking avenged sevenfold? They are a great band too, and there's no reason to call another band a fucking band. Show some respect to other bands, maybe you don't like the band, but still show some respect.

[sinkingpeople]

@Xavyen this comment made almost no sense... it was a year ago. cool your balls

[supermanjack7]

@sinkingpeople i actually enjoy avenged sevenfold.......... they are my 4th fav while KSE is my 1st

[shockandawe123]

@sinkingpeople No, just no.

[666jony666]

@sinkingpeople Completely agree 

[filthbrain258]

all bands keep their style

Slayer sounds like slayer,Lamb of God sounds like lamb of god and megadeth sounds like megadeth and the new record is one of their heaviest and Howard is fuckin awesome

[Razorbacker91]

as daylight dies is the best record ever

they cant top that album

[edjuusoftkse6666]

Yay!

[BlackRose2222]

i was praying he'd play something :(

[Sonofmetal16]

@BlackRose2222 yea me too, but that boy is a fucking hero of KsE and my life dude!!!!

D:

[BlackRose2222]

@Sonofmetal16 same here dude

[zerofreak22]

@Sonofmetal16 I 2nd that!

[dehumanizer21]

haha i'm suprised he didn't smash this one. Wow he was actually normal and calm, usually he's going nuts and screaming... guess he's not drunk yet haha.

[rokr44]

actually he did. look at the vid where he smashes it and look at the guitar in his hand. its the same guitar....xD

[snapascrew]

I hope he doesn't smash THIS one.

[madmagician07]

Nope, he probably smashed it.
