Petros is the oldest member of the band after Kostas of course. Every time a new album comes out, I stare into empty space as these guys take me to a new world, a world where music is god and I am a humble worshipper.
For the record, they do not really play alike either, Malmsteen uses 4 note patterns way more and Gus uses 3 note patterns (of course not exclusively). Also Gus uses much more tapping for his arpeggios. Yngwie is probably the tighter player on the whole though but both should be appreciated, or rather you don't have to hate one to appreciate the other.
my favorite metal is the more underground and REALLY underground metal such as meshuggah, aeveron, mastodon, gojira, opeth, mors principium est, angra, derdian etc. and i LOVE gus g. i know as much metal as any other guy and can play as many metal genres as any other guy on guitar too, but i have high respect for gus g, he is an excellent guitar player.
@SuperRAmb0 It is Gus G. It's just Gus G. from a long time ago. I'm pretty sure he hadn't always had that tattoo, and he may have changed pickups sometime down the road.
Zakk is great but give the guy a chance,he's an awesome guitarrist,just watch the video for ''The Fire and the Fury'' live from Thessaloniki,he can shredd like ther is no tommorow.
@BangLikeABassist You know in the end of the day its just what you prefer,for example I dont like Malmsteen,just not my cup of tea BUT the guy can play the shit out of a guitar and I respect that!
@BangLikeABassist Well I think his solo's pointless.I also think he has pushed the speed in the studio to something he struggles with live.So that kinda makes me look at him as a sloppy player.But that's just my opinion.
@greekfreak1980 people dont see it like that. people always hate musicians who replace someone in a band. in this case many fanboys look at gus g like he forced himself in to ozzy's band and fired zakk himself. it even happened with jake e lee who came to replace randy roads when he died. i still think that as far as lead guitarists go jake was the best one ozzy ever had.
sounds like Jake E Lee with the metronome turned way up ... I'm impressed by the technique, let down by the originality .... what is it with these amazingly talented guitarists who can't or won't find thier own voices?
@chillichomper Zakk Wylde , Randy Rhoads, E.Van Halen, Yngwie Malsmsteen, Steve Vai, Doug Aldrich, Tony Iommi, Jake E. Lee, Ricky Scaggs, Frank Marino, Al dimeola, John Mclauglin, Paco de Lucia and so many others. This guy has nothing special... just a common metal player
Well... as far as I know not so many people hate Zakk. Actually they like him and that's why now WE are digging on this fucker. Maybe that's true, I didn't dislike this guy until I saw that this prick was taking the place of a guitar god. That really pissed me off. Fucking Ozzy, that was total bullshit; but now, what can I do?
I'll never accept this guy not even if he plays some good stuff with Ozz, cause nobody is going to fit in Zakks place... never!
@HipHopHaterRock4ever Well... I like the stuff that Jake did with Ozz... it's cool fiddle. But I prefer Zakk... Jake was very talented and he did a great job with Ozz and other singers just like Ronnie James Dio etc, but I prefer Zakk's stuff... a different style
Me too man I prefer Zakk Everyone thinks Randy is god because he put out 2 albums with Ozzy including Quiet Riot hes not in the top 10 greatest guitarist of all time... thats bullshit when I look downhill i see better. Zakk Played in Ozzy most of his Ozzys solo Career he deserves credit not crap
yeh! Zakk MUST be included at least as one of the top 5 or top 10 guitarist of all time. Rolling stone didn't includded him in the list they did, and now all the Black Label Berserkers and Berserkettes are sending emails, tweets, letters etc to them telling them to Fuck OFF cause their list was full of bullshit!
@mturquie I am perplexed why anyone would care what Rolling Stone prints? I know a plethora of guitarists & none of them have or would ever read a vapid print like RS.
Guitar Player or Guitar World for sure. It would be the equivalent of watching the Grammy's to validate best guitar player which is based on album sales. Real musicians value musical integrity not the almighty dollar non-musicians aren't capable of assessing someone's ability. Let them be judged by their peers not writers.
@mturquie If not many people hate Zakk, ZERO PEOPLE HATE GUS! fucker? prick? zakk->guitar god? And what? Gus G is not a god??? WOW dude u re really really know shit of guitar technique and playing! With these words u have used against this superhuman, I hope u are really tortured bedore u die! U deserve it!
He should have a no homo sticker on those pants...
