Add Gus G. To The List

Post by RR-ElectricAngel »

Whether or not it lasts is anyone's guess but I think we should put Gus's name up there at the top. He has performed on the SCREAM album so he is officially the new guitar player. I saw the Jimmy Kimmel clip of him playing Shot In The Dark. Very well done...

I mindlessly typed in Ozzy to Spotify, even though I have want I do it out of force of habit hoping some new RR stuff will miraculously appear. Anyway, I saw the new tracks from Scream and after hearing a few I don't mind admitting I was pleasantly surprised. Surprised enough that when my wife came in the room (who loves Zakk the best of all the Ozzy guitarists) and said she thought this sounded the best Ozzy stuff she had heard in a while, I had to agree!

I love what I have heard of Gus and yes some new space for him is a must!

I bought the Scream album a couple months ago, and have been loving it a lot! It's quite melodic with lots of really cool riffs. I certainly think it's Ozzy's best in a very long time. And yes, Gus G does deserves a spot here soon enough. He actually had formal training in a conservatory back in his homeland of Greece. He went to Berklee too on a scholarship, but dropped out after a couple weeks.
