GUS G. To Perform With OZZY OSBOURNE ???
- Thread starter Johnny Z.
- Start date
Do you really believe everything Blabbermouth says? As long as Gus doesn't say he's leaving, what makes you think he is?
Maybe this thread should be renamed: Gossip and slander, not for the gullible.
AND NOW???
I'd also like to know why the original thread got deleted. To be honest what's the point in having a forum if you can't discuss the things you want. As long as discussions aren't offensive to anyone, what harm was it that we talked about it. It's out there anyway, everyone's talking about it. That said, why still no confirmation from Gus himself??
Okay, this may be of interest to you. This months Metal Hammer (UK) has just landed on my doormat. They interviewed Gus at the Unirock Festival in Turkey, as follows:
After the show we hook up with Gus G and inquire about the persistent rumour onsite that he's set to become Ozzy's new guitarist.
Gus "Yeah everyone seems to know more about this than me........I don't know too much"
MH "But you do know something?"
Gus "Ahhhhh" he laughs looking nervous.
Gus "Let's say if the opportunity comes up, I'll take it. Who wouldn't? That's all I can say!"
We will all find out tomorrow at the closing ceremony of Blizzcon!

Even if this is true, I suspect Firewind will still be very much alive...Gus will still need his own creative outlet so to speak, and that is clearly Firewind.

"Ozzy will be performing [on Saturday, August 22] at the Anaheim Convention Center [in Anaheim, California] as part of the closing ceremonies at BlizzCon '09. However, due to [longtime OZZY OSBOURNE guitarist] Zakk Wylde's current touring commitments with BLACK LABEL SOCIETY and [longtime OZZY drummer] Mike Bordin's ongoing reunion tour with FAITH NO MORE, Ozzy will be playing with guitarist Gus G.

Member? Yes, I got one =)
Had the opportunity to see Gus and Ozzy at Blizzcon! \m/ \m/ Gus was cool enough to hang out backstage and talk to me a bit even if my Greek was fairly broken. Cool dude, was kind enough to take some pictures with me and my friend and sign some autographs! Hope this gig works out for you Gus, it's going to be awesome touring with Ozzy!
Also wanted to say thanks to Adam Wakeman who was kind enough to sign and takes some pics with us as well. I had the opportunity to see Adam perform with his famous father, Rick years ago at the Ventura County Theater during the Wakeman and Wakeman tour!!!
Thank you both for putting on a great show at Blizzcon and the fans!

As I said before, this has got to be a great opportunity for Gus G! As long as he still pours lots of love an attention into Firewind then I wish him all the best!! And hey, if Ozzy comes back to the UK you can be sure I'll be there!
You got a problem?
When I wrote my posts, there was no news, only rumors. As for "Gus and Ozzy", as far as I can tell they're not lovers. So there still is no "Gus and Ozzy". Just Gus doing a gig with Ozzy.
"Gossip and slander" was about people talking about Gus leaving Firewind, which is obviously not the case.
You may not get my sense of humor, but you can behave. And don't shout at me, kiddo.

Gus did great, but honestly his own original work sounds so much better when played by him, so I would much rather hear more Firewind!

Now let's hope that he will record an album with Ozzy as well...That would be a massive exposure for Gus and Firewind!!!

I loved Ozzy's last album, went to see him on that tour too, to see a bit of Gus's guitar influence in Ozzy's work would be brilliant!
Granted, you don't know me, so you're forgiven.sorry... SISTER or whatever you are

As for the nick, Sekhmet is an Egyptian goddess, how does that not look female?

I'm SO behind.
I've rarely been online for the last few months. The last time I logged into these forums was June 3rd!!!!!
But don't worry, I've been listening to Firewind as much as ever but never paid any attention really to this whole "Gus and Ozzy" drama.
Firewind is Gus' baby. And I have every confidence that he wouldn't just ditch Firewind to play for Ozzy.
