In a shocking turn of events, Greek guitar virtuoso Gus G has revealed that he’s not a fan of being a hired gun in another band. Who would have thought? 🤣 It’s not like he’s been playing with Ozzy Osbourne or anything… oh wait, he has! 🤘 Gus G spoke with Jimmy Kay of The Metal Voice and spilled the tea on why he doesn’t want to be a part of another band. Apparently, he wants to “call his own shots” and not be an “expendable guy” in a band. Yeah, because that’s exactly what you want to hear from a guitarist – that they’re not expendable. 🙄
Gus G went on to say that he’s had offers to join bigger bands, but he’s all like, “Nah, I’m good.” 🙅♂️ He wants to focus on his own band, FIREWIND, and “build his own empire.” 🏰 Because, you know, being a rockstar is all about building empires and not about the music. 🎸 He also mentioned that he had to “prove a point” after leaving Ozzy’s band and that it wasn’t easy. Boo hoo, poor Gus G had to play with smaller fees and grind it out. 🤑
But let’s get real, Gus G is all about that solo life. He’s releasing his fifth solo album, “Steel Burner”, on April 24, 2026, and it’s going to be a game-changer. 🚀 The album features guest singers like Doro Pesch, Dino “Jelusick” Jelusić, Matt Barlow, and Ronnie Romero, so you know it’s going to be a wild ride. 🎢 And let’s not forget that it was mixed and mastered by the acclaimed producer Dennis Ward, because who doesn’t love a good ol’ fashioned name drop? 🙌
Gus G also talked about his time with Ozzy Osbourne and how it was a “little bit of a relief” when he found out that Ozzy was getting back together with Zakk Wylde. 🙄 Yeah, because who wouldn’t want to be replaced by Zakk Wylde? 🤣 He said that he was tired of waiting around for Ozzy to get his act together and that it was a “dead end” for him creatively. 😴 Well, at least he’s being honest about it.
In conclusion, Gus G is a guitar virtuoso who doesn’t want to be a hired gun, wants to build his own empire, and is releasing a new solo album. 🎸🔥 What more could you ask for? 🤷♂️ Oh, and he’s also a bit salty about his time with Ozzy Osbourne, but who isn’t, right? 😂👀
