Ozzy's Gus G Gushes About New Judas Priest Guitarist

07/29/2011
. (Gibson) Ozzy Osbourne is taking a breather from the road, and his new six-stringer, Gus G., is using the down time to tour with his Greek power metal group, Firewind. Firewind recently played alongside Judas Priest in Greece, and Gus G. used the opportunity to gush about new Priest guitarist Richie Faulkner.

"Priest are doing great and are putting on such a great show," Gus G. told Rock AAA. "Richie [Faulkner] is doing a great job, and I'm very glad he got the job [to join the band.] He's a ripper, is doing great on stage, people seem to really love what he is doing and he deserves it."

As for whether it's tricky to switch between playing the straight-ahead metal in Ozzy to the prog-rock textures of Firewind, Gus insists they come from "the same roots." more on this story
