Gus G., the Greek guitar virtuoso whose real name is Konstantinos Karamitroudis, won his place in the hearts of true metal fans 25 years ago, when he blew people away with his guitar technique on the first three albums by power metallers Dream Evil and Mystic Prophecy, as well as on all eleven albums by his main band Firewind, which he actually founded while he was still playing with those two groups. But above all, Gus G. became known worldwide after none other than the Prince of Darkness Ozzy Osbourne took him on board in 2009! Gus G. recorded Ozzy’s album “Scream” with him! He played guitar for Ozzy all the way until 2017! Gus G. has also released four solo studio albums.
