Here is the new guitarist for Ozzy Osbourne Gus. G. doing his thing. An awesome solo recroded live from the seventh row at the Izod Center, East Rutherford, NJ on 12/3/10 on Ozzy's 62nd Birthday.
Greece forever means that this small place in the world still gives talented people in every aspect of life.This is our nations legacy,to give more than it takes.
This guy is humble.He is not a snob.And he is not high on drugs sweating.He is young and versatile.He looks good.He don't need no bucket of chicken hat.He is more interesting than any of the greats.
Man I cant compare Buckethead with Zakk Wylde or Gus G maybe his a little bit better from gus but zakk's level is higher.Furthermore Buckethead does only effects and shitty things with chickens and all this shit he doesnt know his techniques and stuff...It's like you have money but you think you re poor...!
His solo is so authentic! He's not trying to impress, he's just doing him and he's loving every second of it. The authenticity in this solo is amazing, nothing is forced, nothing is cocky, just an awesome solo by an awesome artist!
Impressive...Gus is a breath of fresh Air, you can tell he has respect for Sabbath, playing an Iommi lick at the end of his SMOKING guitar solo..He more than holds his own with ALL of Ozzy's past guitar players. Gus G is a monster player.
Why does there always have to be little girls arguing about who's Ozzy's greatest guitarist is? Who cares? Ozzy finds the most unique guitarists. Lets agree on that and just enjoy the music the God father brings us... :)
JonahLukeHeavyshield thats exactly right!! Each bring their own unique style and energy to the table and have amazing talent!! P.S. jake is number one!!
Is it just me Or is this a fucking power demonstration that Gus G is just about the only guitarist of this generation that is most likely to be remembered as "The guitarist of that time" ?
I don't think so He's one of the only guitarists I can think of that really stands out with his own personal shredding style and techniques Yeah I know we got guys like Loomis and Laiho whom also is part of the "New style of shredding" But I just think he can stand out among the crowds
He did an awesome solo! It was cool to hear some Yngwie influence in his solo, especially that tapping part, it was very Yngwie from Steeler during the 80s! :D
he is not only a great guitarist but also a great song writer...If Ozzy let him write the songs for his next album i am sure that we will have propably one of the best albums that ozzy ever made...
Ya im pretty sure all the older people would. But Gus G brought so much life back into ozzy's band and created better songs with him also. He's a amazing guitarist...
Ozzy knew what he was doing when he hired this guy. Suddenly his band is ALIVE again. I'm sorry, but Zakk was dead boring the last few years that he was with Ozzy. If there hadn't been a change I probably wouldn't have gone to see another Ozzy-gig ever again. Thanks to Gus G, who brought some ENERGY back into the band, I'm going right out on the road this summer to check out 6 shows all over Europe. Sometimes things have to change. This time it was for the better.
Zakk is not a guitar god, be foreal, he just fits better with Ozzy. Only Randy Rhoads and Jake E Lee are guitar gods. Zakk is good don't get me wrong but he's just an average player, Gus is more technical, I play guitar and I can tell.
I remeber when i heard enter sandman, it made me want to play guitar. Watching Gus just, like, makes me want to wwork harder and learn to play even better, which is amazing cause im lazy as fuck when it comes to learning
Brad Gillis has a monster of a solo that's out there...the Oz knows how to pick em. He went to war with Randy Rhoads, Bernie Tormé, Brad Gillis, Jake E. Lee, Zakk Wylde(5 times), Steve Vai, Alex Skolnick, Joe Holmes(twice), Jerry Cantrell, and now Gus G...WOW!...just think of all the other musicians he penciled in. He sold out then and continues now. Would have loved to seen Tormé solo tho.
Zakk also did some solo's in his early days that were inspired by Randy Rhoads. If that plane crash did not happen Randy would of gone on teaching music by leaving Ozzy which Ozzy has said numerous times that is what Randy wanted to do. If Randy was still alive would you be saying the same thing?
I think so too. I mean, I'm sure the man played plenty of Ozzy coming up, like most metal players from his era. And he'd jam on something like "Over the Mountain" or "I Don't Know", even "Miracle Man"...but I'm sure this is a question only Jeff himself could know the answer to, of whether it could work out or not. And of course, the boss man, Ozzy.
No he doesn't, Zakk had his time I will agree, but now he repeats the same patterns and solos. Also he uses way to many pinch harmonics. So I think we can all agree that at this point in time Gus G is far superior.
@34bighitter Are you serious? That didn't sound anything like Zakk's guitar solo. The only part that did sound a little bit like it was the intro where he was continuously hammering on and pulling off, and that wasn't exactly what Zakk played.
Simply no he can't. Zakk wylde has his own thing but never sounded like this. Personally, though you can bring it to a matter of taste gus g is faster, cleaner (much cleaner), uses a lot different techiques much more efficiently. Better vibrato. Bigger variety of phrases some very difficult. A more all around guitarist. And sounds better on stage than wylde ever did. Perhaps gear, fingers whatever. Zakk wylde is a guitar here but gus g is also now one too.
He can do everything Gus G can but he doesn't cause it's easy?, That's why he tremolo picks every solo, does not mix it up, all his solos are recycled. There is a reason Gus G is in Ozzy and Zakk isn't.
Pretty dazzling in a way, but ALL of it not so discreetly quotes from Van Halen, Malmsteen, Rhoads, whoever. I felt the whole time like it was calculated and reformulated from this and that, he can play a bit like this or that player. But a real voice of his own, hmmm…
I think gus could have done alot better, doesn't mean his solo wasnt very cool and he isnt a fantastic player, both those things are true, however I just think he couldve been a bit more creative.
Pretty badass... cleaner than Zac... doesn't come close to the classical background of RR. I think many people have forgotten when Brad Gillis joined the gig??? Talk about clean badass rock!
