Sorry guys but if Steve vai did make one now it wouldn't be tough to beat, if he made one in the 80's or 90's then it would be a challenge but now its like having the dudes from any band you hear on the radio do a betcha can't play this.
That's not exactly fair, man. I mean I agree that Gus belongs in Firewind but saying that an entire nation doesn't deserve to have good music is pretty preposterous.
I mean I'm American and I'm not a brainless, guitarhero poser.
Also as far as metal goes Power metal is meh. I mean most of it today isn't heavy at all and it relies on melody, but melodic death metal has that and is way heavier.
I dont even want to play that shit. Mario 59000000000000 times fast dosent sound good to my ears. But i guess if you think playing things fast is "sick" then have fun trying to play this shit
Personally this is the first time I have heard him play and its nothing I am that impressed with. Very talented player don't get me wrong but not a player i'd want in my band. But, Ozzy is a very smart guy (imho) and he felt something with this kid so I am with Ozzy on this one and I wish Ozzy and the band luck with the new addition.
@El1ciT well you could listen his solos with FIREWIND..then,i/m pretty sure you will be impressed by the feeling of his solos...i would recommend you to listen the "fire and the fury" solos and maybe "forged by fire" album of firewind...
What saddens me about Gus is his composure ability. Ozzy has always been driven by guitarists who write great riffs and licks, starting with Tony and his Iron Man, Paranoid, and others. Then with Randy Rhoads and his obvious genius abilities in songwriting. Jake E Lee of course wrote the very popular Bark At The Moon riff and did some ok stuff in Ultimate Sin. Even Zakk pumped out some good solos and riffs. But, for anyone who has heard "Let Me Hear You Scream," its just noise now.
I never read a negative comment about Gus G until it was said he was playing with ozzy. This is horseshit, I was introduced to Gus G back in 2002 in Dream Evil, then on to Firewind and Nightrage. He is an absolutely brilliant guitar player. Half of these comments watch a coupla fuckin youtube videos and they are Gus experts.
Listen to his songs, especially on the Dragonslayer record by Dream Evil or Evilized. Sweet Vengeance by Nightrage. Dont care who he sounds like, he's great!
ozzy should have kept zakk. dont argue with me about blah blah too many pinch harmonics bull shit zakk can play any fucking thing there is on a guitar. this guy is just a follower. zakk is a living legend.
@andyjstevens then i guess in your reasoning Chris Broderick, Greg Howe, Andy Timmons,Jeff Loomis,Rusty Cooley,Marty Friedman,Michael Romeo and many other top caliber guitar players need to.........
Gus - Hi Im gus G from the band firewind I betcha cant play this, Audience - Hi were regular people from the band society and were not worthy enough to play this
thats a real guitar kiddies,which is not really compeditive like the guitar you know called Guitar Hero and RockBand,if you say you can play it prove it :)
Well. Yes I could play that. Why would I want to play some poinless dribble? I can't think of where to put it, in a songs solo? I could put gravey on my corn flakes but I'm not gonna eat it.
If your being honest, them that's just gross. A lot like this dude Gus. It's just too much of everything and no real soul. Or individuality (originality ) I'm not saying hes not talented. I think he really should think these things through so it all mix's together WELL.
I think that he was more or less showing a less known technique, with a little flare (string skipping with the tap) but yeah, he can rock that guitar.
Great video! I think he's using a stretch pentatonic scale (3 notes per string) combined with string skipping and right hand tapping. I'm not familiar with Gus G, but I will definitely check out his album.
