FIREWIND/OZZY OSBOURNE guitarist Gus G. caught up with Obi-Dan from Geeks Of Doom recently about a number of topics. A few excerpts from the chat follow:

Geeks of Doom: Yeah, this year it’s the 30th anniversary of Diary Of A Madman, and also the 25th anniversary of The Ultimate Sin. So have you got anything special planned for the live shows?

Gus G.: "Not that I know of. I mean, we played 'Shot In The Dark' and we used to play 'Killer Of Giants', but that one came out of the setlist. I think there’s talks of bringing that one back. I mean, so, we might be putting 'Killer Of Giants' back on there."

Geeks of Doom: Cool. Now that the dust has settled roughly two years after you joined Ozzy’s band, what has life been like for you?

Gus G.: "It’s still amazing, man. It’s not something you really get used to, you know what I mean? [laughs] I mean that in a great way. I’m really loving all the changes that have happened to me and stuff, and that I’m having the chance to do this at such a level. It’s a blessing and few people in the world have the chance that I got so I’m very grateful and I’m really enjoying it."

Geeks of Doom: Is Firewind still your main focus?

Gus G.: "Yeah, I mean it’s my band. I used to play with three or four other bands but I quit every other band. This is my thing, this is my own band."
