OZZY OSBOURNE / FIREWIND guitarist Gus G. is featured in a new interview with Dynamite / Gasolina Filmes. It was conducted during Ozzy's recent South American tour in São Paulo, Brazil. Check it out below.
Following is an excerpt from BW&BK; recent interview with Gus about working with Ozzy, and the new Firewind album Days Of Defiance:
Putting Days Of Defiance up against Scream, Gus’ playing has taken on a different shape in Osbourne’s realm. He is not, however, trying to be Zakk Wylde’s shadow.
“It is different,” Gus says of the music on Scream, “but everything was written before I was asked to join, so all I had to do was play guitar. I didn’t write any of the songs, but I was able to maintain my identity and style on the album. It was a very big challenge for me, but as I said, there was no way I wasn’t going to take it. The guitars were written by the producer, Kevin Churko, but he’s not a guitar player so the demo tracks were just basic tracks and I had to put more life into them.”“It’s an honour for me to be with Ozzy,” he continues. “Recording an album with him and then travelling all over the world with him to support it? That’s insane (laughs). I know that some Ozzy fans have checked out Firewind because of me working with Ozzy, and the reactions have been great. In some cases it’s been like ‘Where have you guys been hiding?’ and I have to admits that feels good (laughs).”
