(FIREWIND) has been tapped to play with Ozzy Osbourne at the closing concert of this year's BlizzCon, which will take place August 21-22 at the Anaheim Convention Center.

In addition to his current axe-slinging duties with Firewind, Gus (real name: Kostas Karamitroudis) � who has an endorsement deal with Randall � has played in Mystic Prophecy, Nightrage, Arch Enemy and Dream Evil.
