Greek guitar phenomenon, Gus G. (Ozzy Osbourne, Firewind), will embark on a mini North American headlining tour from April 15th to April 24th, see dates below.
Gus G. states, “I’m very excited to play my first US and Canada shows in support of my new album Brand New Revolution. I purposely decided to do select, VERY exclusive and intimate shows for my die-hard followers. I know it’s been long overdue and I hope to see you all there for some loud, hot and sweaty rocking nights.
I will be playing mainly material from my two solo albums, but there will be some classic Firewind, Ozzy and Black Sabbath songs sprinkled into the set as well. These shows are not to be missed.”
Brand New Revolution was recorded with Jay Ruston (Stone Sour, Anthrax, Steel Panther, etc.) and mixed by Mike Fraser (Metallica, AC/DC, Van Halen, Aerosmith, etc.). Just as on I Am The Fire, the core of Gus G.’s recording group consisted of Jo Nunez (Firewind) on drums and Marty O’ Brien (Lita Ford band) on bass.
Watch video’s for the instrumental, The Quest, and for the song, What Lies Below, featuring vocals by Elize Ryd (Amaranthe), below.

I know that some felt that Ozzy w/Zakk was sounding more like BLS, but I liked that better than his current material. I know Gus will have a great career, but Zakk had chemistry with Ozzy, and I predict a reunion at some point. (With the understanding that I know nothing about anything)
Looking forward to seeing Gus. He shreds! Also, check out LEGION. Local NJ metal force! They rocked the Brighton and Dingbatz recently and will be on right before Gus.
March 11 at the Brighton Bar in NJ that is. I saw Legion open for Cycle Of Pain last month and they were amazing! So Legion and Gus G should be a killer show!
Oh man, my mistake. April 22 is the Gus G show with Legion at the Brighton Bar. Legion will also play Brighton March 11 which Don Jamieson hosts. Check both out!
