I keep searching for Gus G. videos on youtube, and this keeps popping up:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVr0vVBF4C0

it says Bob Katsionis have recorded it, still I wonder who this young GREAT guitar player is? I really love "The pulse" he plays there. And I cannot find the video nor the song to download =(
Anyone knows about him? :O

Besides, either he is a gus G Wannabe too or an apprentice to him just look at his style and guitar and his techniques..

He's similar to Constantine, another GREAT Greek guitar player who is now playing with Nightrage. The thing is, Bob told me that when Constantine first applied for Nightrage, he was turned down, and he didn't understand. So Bob told Constantine "Listen man, you play great, let me do a promo video for you and then you can send that. Cos nowadays, anybody can sit in front of a camera and shred away and put it on youtube... But if you have a promo video, you're gonna stand out." So he told me that he did Constantine's promo video (great song btw) and when he sent it to Nightrage, they took him straight away.

So my guess is that Bob did the same thing with Jon. After all, from what I understand and from what it looks like, it's a whole family there so they're definitely helping each other out.

hehe^^
I hate dell aswell^^ have one >.<

well, my gear is; Epiphone Explorer korina (Think I'm gunna buy a gus g model 'til winter because they are sooo sweat)^^

And I'll buy randall amps at friday =) 100 W RH100 with top and stack.
I use super overdrive SD-1 from Boss, usually a death metal pedal from digitech, because the dist there is really good. And in the practise local I use an effect plate from Korg for around 200 euro. =) and if you're asking about picks I use Jim Dunlop .99 mm and .88 mm ^^ because they have such a good grip and are not slippy or anything.

and yours? =)

I've got a Washburn Lyon (first guitar), then a BC Rich Warlock Body Art, a Schecter Diamond Series with Seymour Duncans and a Floyd Rose, and an Ibanez RG 7 string. Also got a Yamaha 5 string bass, which was my first axe since I started out on bass.

Got a Washburn practice amp, a metal zone distortion pedal and a digitech R80 pedal. And then got two bass amps, one practice fender and an Ashdown (which totally fuckin rocks!).

For picks, I use the Dunlops 1mm. Sometimes I go to the .88 though and sometimes the 1.5 haha.

I'm also looking into maybe getting the Boss GT8, or another bass... But the Ibanez Xiphos has been in my sights too. As is Gus' guitar

I absolutely love this guy! came across him on Bob's page a while ago. Bob's done a lot of work with him, and he's a nice guy too, which reminds me, i need to add him on myspace finally....

Eddie, shut up! And go fast to practice with your fucking fixed culprit! I have no floyd rose :-( but well, I don't need it :-D Why you uses a distortion pedal with a Randall? I love the amp distor... Maybe you must use that only to make your sound better, but with few gain...
