Gus g is very humble and incredibly talented, really wished to hear one more album with Ozzy but his solo stuff is great.
To this first comment.... True....and True.
....And this is so true also!!!!
cover band gig is all it was to allow zakk into a rehab, he was using it at the time
Great interview with a great guitarist. Very cool and humble guy.
Class act all the way. Articulate and humble, and a terrific guitarist!
As soon as he got the gig his cell rang and it was Jake saying DON't DO IT!!!! lol
One of the tightest, cleanest and fastest guitarist out there. GUS G!!
I thought it was randy from the sound
Lol Calm down, bro - he's not that good.
Not even close.
He's amazing.
yeah he is good,but can you answer me one question?!!!(and i ask that as greek).....can you tell me which of his riffs or songs or melodies after years you are gonna remember??!!!!!!yeah,ofcourse he is good,techincal,fast.....but there are many many guitarists in this style.........check out Panos Arvanitis
you should be talking about why Ozzy has done nothing since he got rid of daisley and being to stupid to understand why . Count the songs written by Bob with randy, jake and Zakk, and then count the Ozzy's hits written without him. The math is really that simple
Great, great , great guitar player. Humble and grounded. This is the status of a guy who is really good.
Cheers Κώστα!!!!🤘
Great interview with a great guitarist. I had the honor to see Gus G play live for Ozzy, and his stage presence only added to the Ozzy experience.
Gus,
You made the list because you are THAT GOOD of a guitar player. I can tell you don't think to highly of yourself, (No ego), but you're right up there with the very BEST of them. No BS.
Thank you, man.
@@landajimmy That was for Gus G., lol.
@@markusaurelius777lmao
Being a huge fan of everything Zakk Wylde, Gus is the fucking man! I was a skeptical at first, but when the album landed I was like, ok..this cat can play. And then when I saw them on the scream tour I was completely blown away. Tommy, Blasko, Adam and Gus was fireing on all cylinders and I think it brought out something in Ozzy that was pent up. Best show I’ve ever seen.
Damn time flies! I remember when i started to listen to Firewind and Gus G was my favorite guitar player, still is to this day. Bro went trought alot of changes and grew even more powerfull as guitar player for Firewind and others + solo albums. Dude never stops! Heck he even came to my little country and felt like Firewind played just for me, one of a life time experience. When he joined Ozzy, i remember i was so proud i was showing Gus G to everyone (did it even before Ozzy, but later he became more popular). Seriously, hands down, my favorite guitar player. He is him. I've met him and the band couple of times from the gigs and all i can say, these guys are top tier.
yep. that is the hired gun syndrome. Up in the air even when you're on the ground.
Scream was great, a nice break from Zakk, even though I love Zakk's playing with his signature vibrato/pinch harmonics. Ozzy always finds amazing guitar players!
Great interview! I used to build his guitars at Jackson and honestly, that's how I heard about Gus! Amazing, nice guitarist! Cheers!
So let me get this straight... Sharon throws eggs at Iron maiden during a show and you then decide you want to be the guitar player in Ozzy's band. Savage
He's an idiot and not that great guitarist he thinks he is.
Scream is a kick ass album and I listen to it often, I would have loved to see Gus do one more album with Ozzy with more of G's input on the songwriting.
agreed, he was robbed of writing a legit album. I know he won't say it, he's got a great way of looking at his success etc. But damn I would've loved to hear an album where he didn't just come in and rip some solos. Probably would've been a classic.
I 100% agree with you guys. I couldn't believe people dumping on Scream. It was so much better than the previous two, and for my money with Gus it sounded the most like Classic Ozzy in a long time.
My husband took me to see that tour . Awesome
Scream is one of the finest albums ever written.
@@goodmorningsundaymorning4533the best metal album of a generation I reckon
Gus will be just fine for the rest of his life. When you're kind, loving and appreciative= everything will work out. Gus seems like a smart guy and if he banked his playing money with Ozzy, he will live without much struggling.
He was a hired gun and sharon osborne is famously ruthless. I doubt he made as much as you think
I doubt he made anything but peanuts. This is Sharon Osbourne we’re talking about.
Edit: wrote Vincent lol
Even Vivian Campbell made shit for his first 3 albums with Dio.
@@1Deep43VAVince Campbell? 😂
@@1Deep43VA you mean Vivian right?
@@mgdarenz lmao had to have been autocorrect.
Vivian
Gus is a phenomenal guitar player! Very cool and humble also which makes me like him even more!
Saw Gus G on Ozzfest in 2010 with Ozzy , It was A Great Show. Gus did A GREAT Job!!!!!!
Really impressed with the way you approached this interview. Serious skills my man. ⚡️
Gus G is a monster guitar player! Saw him with "Ozzy with friends" in Sweden and also at Sweden Rock. Still remember "Bark at the moon", so tight! :)
Ozzy always went after the best & I love em all for diff reasons but from the old songs into the now Zakk is untouchable
Ozzy and Sharon always treated their musicians like a mushroom, kept in the dark and fed shit.
Ozzy is one of the greatest assholes in the music business.know it by dio mobbing and bob daisley.while hes drunk laying around or in rehab, other create hole albums include lyrics and got none credits for it
well said the only bigger douche is Sharon its all about the $$
stayed tuned for Ozzie hologram shows after he is dead, which may be soon
@@buzzedalldrink9131they’ll prop his corpse up in a glass enclosure before they do the hologram, they had him propped up and stationary back in 2022 when him and iommi played at the commonwealth game after his back surgery
A great guitarist and a great human being .... γεια σου Κώστα 🇬🇷
Well, no one really wants to talk about it, but the truth is, Ozzy Osborne's too old; he has too much health issues. I know Ozzy can't really walk anymore. So, I'm glad we at least got to know Gus G. He's a damn good guitar player. I wished we could hear another album with Gus G and Ozzy.
I think Patient number 9 proves that you are so wrong.
I know he's a decent guitarist and seems like a nice guy, but I never cared for Gus. He's just not in the same league as Jake E Lee, Zak or Randy. Honestly Ozzy and Sharon should have never fired Jake 😑
Whatever the reason it had something to do with Sharon. Guaranteed. She's a real ball buster.
It always comes down to Sharon, ugh
Compared to her father she's honest, faithful and generous
@@PlayerToBeNamedLater1973 That's not saying much.
The Yoko of hard rock.
Let me say that I absolutely loves Zakks playing on NRFTW and NMT. From 88-94 and even on Ozzmosis(though thats when I believe things started to go downhill a bit) Zakk was a force of nature and played with a fresh intensity that blew away a lot of us. The bellbottom Zakk before he turned into a viking biker is when he was at his peak imo. Later on he started to become a bit repetive and stale. His tone also started to suffer and became too sludgy. Its like the albums after Ozzmosis sounded more and more like BLS with Ozzy on vocals.
I think Scream was the best Ozzy album in a long time and Gus G tore it up. I actually think it was his best album post 95.' I would take Gus's playing at that stage over Zakk. I get bringing Zakk back because of all the history and I do like his playing on his first two records with Ozz over Gus's playing. Gus definitely deserves praise and even being a guitarist for Ozzy Osbourne has its own percs to be had on a resume. Very few get that gig for as long as Gus G had it.
88-92 Zakk was a genuinely good guitarist and boded well for the future. Then he turned into parodies of bikers, rednecks and vikings, losing all sense of melody, only interested in playing the same repeated speed pentatonic licks as fast as possible until.
I really love Gus G’s instrumental solo album Quantum Leap. I have the vinyl version and it still gets a tons of spins in the game room. 🤘
Hey man! Nice to see you here! We hung out at SEGE 2022
I am glad Gus did not stayed for too long playing with Ozzy.
Gus did fine with Ozzy, personally I prefer him with Firewind though.
Never heard of Gus G
Gus G is a outstanding player for sure . He is up there at the top of the guitar players list.
Gus!!!! I still love panos arvinitis!!! You guys would make the best dual harmonys!!you guys both rock!! Peace🇺🇲🇬🇧
Great interview
I thought his solos on Scream were some of the best Ozzy solos since at least Jake, if not Randy. No knock on Zakk, but Gus sounded like more traditional, old school Ozzy. I was really hoping he'd be allowed to write with Ozzy, which never happened.
The Uncertainty, is the Woman’s Way of Controlling. Everything is Temporary Feeling With Sharon In Control..
BINGO
Why do you capitalize all the words in your sentences?
Γειά σου Κωστάρα...Τιμή μου που σε γνωρισα στην Θεσσαλονίκη αδερφέ..Απλά είσαι ο μεγαλύτερος...
Forget Ozzy, I wanna know what it was like working with Elize on “what lies below”.
U should do a whole album w/her.
I met Gus what a great guy
I would love to hear an Ozzy all stars album with new songs and contributions from Bob Daisley, Tommy Aldridge, Brad Gillis, Jake, Zakk and Gus. But Sharon would sooner sell her children into slavery than allow this.
EVERYONE leaves Ozzy.
All you get is recognition.
No money, no credit, no royalties, no respect,
but at least everyone will know who you are.
Greek guitar goo pop f. Top dude & one of the best musos ever born 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🤘🤘🤘🤘
Let me hear you scream is my fav song
Whhhaaaaaattttttttttt Toni Iommi has got cancer ?????????????? oh nooo :( "Tony, now 75, underwent surgery on his lymph nodes, six rounds of chemotherapy and an antibody treatment. Luckily, in 2016 doctors told Tony his cancer was in remission.20 Jul 2023" Thank God ;)
Look Gus G is a excellent player. Tight and modern sounding in which is what the interviewer was trying to express. Zakk is meat and potatoes. The reality is what Sharon realized is, fair or unfair the Ozzy purest never really accepted Gus G. Gus G was always the “backup” plan in 2008 when the Ozzy camp was trying to reunite with Jake E Lee courtesy of Blasko’s advice and it would’ve happened if Jake hadn’t had asked Sharon for his credits from Bark at the Moon. Sharon said no. Enters Gus G. Rest is history.
Randy and Jake are my goto Ozzy... Zack can play but it's all too derivative...as in the Albums.
Randy was a revolution in metal and far far from a Van Halen clone...
I love EVH more than any other player right back to Blind Blake.
But after Randy and Jake Ozzys records wete a camp formula for fanboys.
And Im a fan of no band I'm a fan of their music and of I find it shit and derivative (80's Kiss 😱😵 ) bar Revenge.
Gus reminds me of Jake E Lee and even Randy...immensely talented, incredibly humble and down to earth. All too good for Ozzy.
Way underrated when it comes to Ozzy's guitarists, I mean, you got Iommi, Randy, Jake and Zakk among others. Firewind is an awesome band, check them out
My favorite Ozzy guitarists are....anyone but Zakk. I liked this guy because his tone was cleaner and brighter than Zakks, and he was more true to Randy's original parts
I can't take the pinch harmonics Zakk does every 2 seconds. I agree💯
You guys just don’t know the power of metal guitar and pinch harmonics .
@@humanactivated1017🎯
I also liked Gus more than Zack! Glad i saw him with Oz at MSG NYC! Halford opened the show! 👍
I thought he got the gig because Ozzy was looking for someone that wasn't changing the Ozzy sound to Black Labels sound. I think that was from a Zakk interview. I could be talking out the side of my ass but thats what I remember listening to sometime ago.
Great change from your normal content. Great interview.
Same reason everyone eventually leaves ...Sharon has Ozzy's pills in a bottle.
randy jake and zack are the best guitar players thats pretty cool .seen sabbath in 15 in philly
I remember seeing him playing with Ozzy. Great player
I preferred Gus also.
I find Zakk does his pinch harmonic thing wayy too much.
Gus is way more faithful with awesome guitar tone.
Fun interview. He seems nice. We’ve both used the same producer for our solo stuff. Mat Dauzat.
I saw Firewind in a small club. All members of the band were cool. After the show, Gus and everyone came out to the bar and hung with us. Great time!🤘
Version of Bark at the moon. Zzzzz. Takes ez route
I was at that show when the eggs were thrown, It was at the PNC ARTS CENTER in N.J
erm never knew they dated or even that ozzy would be gay so... too many huge news at once. anyway dunno who is gus n dont give a flying shite.
Dude Gus was in Mystic prophecy,Firewind and Dream Evil!!! before ozzy all bands have harder guitar parts to play then anything in ozzy 😂Gus saying he was nothing before ozzy is super humble when he joined I thought cool nostalgic great on his resume but he is overqualified for this job each of his bands have a shit ton of albums that are amazing but ooohh now he can play crazy train everyday like I said fun opportunity
You forgot Nightrage!
I sang crazy train with Gus g
Didn’t like scream but goddamn Gus is on fire on that record!
👀👁️👁️👌👌👌
The world’s most boring story teller
I thought Gus G was great playing for Ozzy. The only thing that disappointed me was that while Ozzy was busy with the Sabbath tour he didn't* just write an album of classic Ozzy songs and plop it on Ozzy's lap afterwards to add the vocal melodies, like Jake E Lee did with The Ultimate Sin while Ozzy was in rehab
* - at least from what we know, anyway
No on can play the nuances of Randy’s playing as well as Gus.
Same thing with Jake's. Gus can do literally everything.
Gus G! He's the best Metal guitarist out there today!
Simmer down kid, you're delusional. There is no "best"!
🤣🤣🤣
Smart guy - Great guitatr player
I thought it was potatoes...??
I was at his first Gig with Ozzy at Blizzcon and it was great! Not sure why there is so much Zakk hate… Sharon is directly responsible for the ire against Zakk and Maiden. When Ozzy was trying to get clean… oh wait over and over again, Maiden was touring… Sharon hates Bruce D because he doesn’t need her management “skills”. Oh and with his money he learned to fly commercial jets… Ozzy does what? Draws pictures and get loaded. Many of the best musicians have been impeded by talentless people like Sharon Osbourne.
Really wish he’d stayed in Dream Evil instead of joining Arch Mallcore idiots. Dream Evil COULD have played Ozzfest but instead Sharon probably wanted Korn or some garbage Nu Metal band to play.
You got it because you got skill .
Sharon thought Ozzy was sounding too muck like BLS and wanted a different guitarist. They fired Zakk and hired Gus. I believe The album didn’t do as well and generally metal fans don’t like change and wanted Zakk so they went back to Zakk.
Agree 💯 prefer Gus G over Zakk. Saw all Ozzy tours in Cleveland since 1992 (No More Tears). The Scream tour with Gus G blew my head off. Gus G is such a prestine player. Zakks playing get old fast especially his pinch harmonics being overplayed.
And Scream album is in my top 5 greatest Ozzy albums ever written.
I love The album Scream...Gus G is an incredible guitar player. All his lead on Scream are different, not one is a copy of the last...When I hear Zack lots of his leads are copies and he tries too much to be Randy...Gus is super original..Love his style.
Ohhh this guys from Greece.. how cool... Greek Ozzy Guitarist...lololo f ed up.. too cool...
Was he not with Ozzy for ozzmosis at rock city in Nottingham 96?
95?
Well Goddam
Even Eddie Van Hallen was Jealous that Randy got the gig, according to Alex they played with Black Sabbath and Ed loved Ozzy
Gus g εισαι τεράστιος και σαν χαρακτήρας . Respect
💛🖤
Gus was when I came back to Ozzy. I stopped listening in the Zakk era (didn't like his playing style).
Viva Gus!
Gus was the only other Ozzy guitarist who could touch Jake and Randy, although he was playing so far below his skill level in that group.
Got to hang with Gus backstage years ago in Miami when he was playing a show with Yngwie and Steve Vai ( I got to play just before all these guys … no pressure ! lol) Anyway Gus was a really gracious guy and he totally killed it on stage that night. Fantastic player.
I want to know if Gus did in fact write notes on SCREAM. I heard Zakk had already wrote his parts but Gus re-recorded his parts on SCREAM. Can anyone confirm or is this another Urban Legend? Such a humbling video.
The only other guitar spot that is equivalent to being Ozzy's guitarist is probably playing alongside Mustaine.
Actually went to that Ozzfest in San Bernardino with Iron Maiden and the eggs... Kelly was having fun
I can tell you why he left! Cus Ozzy is F'N CRAZZY!!! LOL!
Bought Firewind’s CD by chance (never heard of them before). Played it and was blown away by the musicianship of Gus and the other band mates. Vocals were on point! Gus G is an awesome guitarist!
I saw Gus live with Ozzy in 2010. Front row in front of Gus. He blew me away and did a killer job.
Hi Gus my name is Gus also I can tell you have a lot of Randy Rhoads in you're playing. You're very talented and very impressive guitarist!
Check his old band niterage, great band especially his work with tompa Lindberg
For me It's Randy, JAKE ,ZAKK .THIS GUY IS BLAH.
Gus is a perfect player. But doesn’t really have signature sound.
Because his mother doesn't like Ozzy. Why'd you think?
Y'all be rippin on Gus but nah he a sho nuf crazy shreddin dawggy
