Guitarist GUS G. Talks FIREWIND, OZZY OSBOURNE With U.K.'s PEEK FROM THE PIT (Video)

January 8, 2011

Nick Azinas of Peek From The Pit conducted an interview with OZZY OSBOURNE/FIREWIND guitarist Gus G. (real name: Kostas Karamitroudis) before FIREWIND's January 7, 2010 headlining concert at the Relentless Garage in London, England. You can now watch the chat below.

FIREWIND bass player Petros Christo was forced to sit out of the band's recently completed North American dates due to a family emergency. Filling in for him at the shows was FIREWIND/OZZY OSBOURNE guitarist Gus G.'s ex-axe partner in NIGHTRAGE, Marios Iliiopoulos.

FIREWIND's new album, "Days Of Defiance", sold around 700 copies in the United States in its first week of release. The CD landed at position No. 53 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.

The European limited-edition mediabook CD version of "Days Of Defiance" doesn't only come with special packaging, alternate cover artwork and expanded booklet features, it also contains three special bonus tracks, a Gus G. / ESP guitar pick as well as a quality FIREWIND sticker.

"Days Of Defiance" was released in North America on October 26, 2010 (one day earlier internationally) via Century Media Records. The CD's striking cover artwork was designed by the band's longtime partner in all design matters, Gustavo Sazes.
