Andrew Wroblewski

BEFORE METALLICA BECAME LEGENDS, THEY WERE FOUR YOUNG MUSICIANS RECORDING THEIR FIRST ALBUM IN A ROCHESTER, NEW YORK, STUDIO. AND I WAS THERE.

In May 1983, James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Cliff Burton, and Kirk Hammett arrived at MusicAmerica Studios in Rochester, New York, to record Kill ’Em All, the groundbreaking debut album that would help launch the thrash metal revolution and change heavy metal history forever.

Andrew “Andy Man” Wroblewski was a young assistant recording engineer who found himself in the middle of those historic recording sessions. More than forty years later, he's finally sharing the unforgettable stories, rare photographs, and personal memories of what really happened behind the studio doors.

BASS SOLO – TAKE ONE: THE KILL ’EM ALL TELL ’EM ALL is more than another Metallica biography. It's an intimate, firsthand music memoir told by someone who was actually there when one of the most influential debut albums in heavy metal history was being created.
