Gus G. - 20 Years of Firewind, Peter Frampton Started It all, Hand Picked By Ozzy and Endorsements

Talk In The Fast Lane

Guitar virtuoso, Gus G. joins Talk In The Fast Lane to discuss the upcoming, Live, Firewind album "Still Raging," How his Dad's tastes in music inspired him to start playing the guitar, The Peter Frampton album, Ozzy and his endorsements over the years from ESP to Jackson.
September 1, 2023 sees hard rock power metal titans FIREWIND release their epic anniversary live album, titled "Still Raging", through AFM Records. Recorded in 2022 at a frenetically-acclaimed hometown show in Thessaloniki, Greece, "Still Raging" will be available on Blu-Ray and as a 2CD edition, the pre-sale has just recently started at THIS LOCATION!
Since more than twenty years, the iconic band founded by exceptional guitarist Gus G (Ozzy Osbourne, Arch Enemy, Dream Evil) enthralls heavy music fans with their exciting blend of hard rock and power metal. Razor-sharp riffs, big hooks and solos meet the incredible vocal skills of charismatic singer Herbie Langhans (Avantasia, Radiant, Seventh Avenue, amongst others), who joined the band in 2019.
"It's hard to believe that a band like Firewind has been around for 2 decades," Gus G said. "In 2022 we had only planned a re-issue of our debut album, but with the pandemic slowly winding down, we were fortunate enough to start doing shows in America and Europe again. Come Fall of 2022 we played 2 headline shows in our homeland, Greece to celebrate our 20th anniversary."
"Prior to the Greek shows, my friends from OTSE film crew asked me about filming our hometown gig in Thessaloniki", the guitar legend reveals. "In a way, the stars aligned, as we returned to the same venue (Principal Club Theater), with the exact same crew that filmed our DVD back in 2008 (Live Premonition anyone?). With this opportunity in front of us, I started thinking about a cool way to put this onto our beloved fans homes as a special thank you for the support you've shown us over the years. Together with AFM Records, we bring you a special BluRay + 2CD package. So yeah... Firewind Still Raging, 20 years later and it's all thanks to YOU!
While we're currently hard at work on some new music, we hope this commemorative Live release will keep you good company, till our new Metal anthems arrive!"
