September 13, 2014, 10 years ago
Greece's Rock Overdose recently caught up with guitarist Gus G. (Firewind, Ozzy Osbourne), who discussed the upcoming Metal All Stars tour, working with Ozzy, upcoming acoustic shows in Greece, and his next solo album. An excerpt from the interview is available below:
Rock Overdose: What can your fans expect from these (acoustic) shows?
Gus G: "The whole set will sound different because, in principle, it is acoustic, so all the songs will be played slightly different and will have different dynamic. Regarding the tracks, we will play several of the I Am The Fire, some Firewind and some covers, certainly by Ozzy and Sabbath, among others."
Rock Overdose: Should we wait for a second record by Gus G. anytime soon?
Gus G: "I’m already making it. I have written several songs. Before that, however, we plan to re-release I Am The Fire in the autumn with much bonus material! It is a special package, believe me! Information will be announced soon."

Gus G., and Birmingham, Alabama rockers, Lynam, will be teaming up for a string of west coast dates in October. The dates kick off October 15th in Los Angeles, CA at the world famous Whisky a Go Go and mark Gus' first solo band appearances in North America.
Gus G. comments: "I'm very excited to play my first solo shows in North America! Expect a killer set-list with songs from my debut solo album I Am The Fire, as well as material from Firewind, Ozzy and some surprises! I'm putting a killer band together for this short run and Mats Leven will be handling vocal duties! Also, I'm very happy to team up with Lynam - they're a killer hard rock band, and their singer Jacob Bunton co-wrote with me and sang a song on I Am The Fire. See you all out there!"
