Gus G, born Konstantinos Karamitroudis in Thessaloniki, Greece, is recognized as one of modern metal’s true guitar virtuosos—a status cemented by his acclaimed work with Firewind and, most famously, as the lead guitarist for Ozzy Osbourne’s band. His journey began with a passion for the guitar that led him from his early teens in Greece, through a brief stint at Berklee College of Music, and into the heart of the European and international metal scene. Gus became a sought-after player through his stints with bands like Mystic Prophecy, Nightrage, and Dream Evil, before gaining global prominence when Ozzy Osbourne himself invited him to audition and ultimately join his legendary touring and recording band for the “Scream” album era.
In episode 42 of Denim and Leather, viewers are treated to a personal and engaging narrative as Gus G recounts his musical origins, the defining moments with his early bands, and his extraordinary leap into the global spotlight with Ozzy Osbourne. The episode offers a candid window into Gus’s creative ambitions, the challenges and breakthroughs of his early career, and the surreal experience of stepping onto the world stage as Ozzy’s guitarist. It’s an inspiring and deeply human story about following a dream from Thessaloniki’s modest music scene to heavy metal’s most iconic stage—a must-watch for fans of guitar, perseverance, and the spirit of rock.

Oh, you're going to to to North America.
3:49
Good.
3:50
Yeah. It's going to be like a mini tour.
3:52
We're not going to do a full scale tour
3:53
because I don't know why, but maybe
3:56
maybe we're just going to test the
3:57
water. We're going to do like a three or
3:59
four shows around the NM show in
4:02
January. Oh, yeah.
4:02
Because a lot a lot of musicians go
4:04
there, so we're going to be there
4:05
anyways. And um just going to have fun.
4:08
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Of course. Uh
4:11
you guys work great uh great together.
4:13
But what who's who's the band behind
4:15
you? It it is your band or his band?
4:18
It's kind of like a mix, you know. U the
4:21
bass player is an Italian guy called
4:23
Andrea Arangeli and uh he plays in a
4:27
project with Ronnie uh and he's also his
4:29
main band is DGM a progressive band and
4:32
the drummer is uh Joe Joe Nunes the
4:35
drummer of Firewing.
4:37
Yeah. Yeah.
4:38
Yeah.
4:38
Okay. Okay. Uh wanted to wanted to ask
4:41
you about uh your beginnings also. I
4:43
know that you started late ' 90s. I mean
4:47
with music you are you're of course
4:49
since you was you were a kid in the
4:51
early '9s but your bands I see that you
4:54
played with Archeneemy with uh while you
4:58
were with Firewind right?
5:00
Yeah I I started when I started well
5:03
first of all I started very young in my
5:05
early 20s and I was playing guitar for
5:08
anybody that would ask me really. So I
5:11
had firing always on the side which was
5:13
my baby and I kept working on it slowly
5:15
but you know I got my start in the music
5:18
business in Sweden. Um cuz I I was
5:22
working with a producer there Frederick
5:24
Nordstrom and we started a band me and
5:26
him
5:27
and you know later like there was this
5:29
journalist who hooked me up with another
5:31
guy a Greek guy who lived in Germany and
5:34
he was starting a new band. The band was
5:36
called Mystic Prophecy. So I got
5:37
involved in that. I got involved in a
5:39
lot of projects at the same time.
5:41
Yeah.
5:42
And none of it was signed to any labels.
5:44
But then all of a sudden, all these
5:46
projects I was working, they got record
5:48
deals. So it was a little bit scary
5:51
because I had to juggle a lot of bands,
5:53
like three or four bands at the same
5:55
time. Uh and I just did it until I
5:59
couldn't do it all. So that's that's why
6:01
when I first started, I was involved in
6:03
many projects and I kept releasing a lot
6:05
of music that I was working a lot. It
6:07
was um it was an interesting period you
6:10
know it was like the the early
6:12
beginnings of course um and of course
6:15
you know at the same time I had fire on
6:16
the side and trying to build that up.
6:19
I I I read u because I I I knew fire
6:23
wind since 20 years ago maybe but not
6:26
since since the start and I read that
6:28
you guys succeeded to get a record deal
6:30
in Japan first right?
6:33
Um, first we were signed to a small
6:36
American label called Leviathan Records,
6:39
a label owned by um, '8s guitar hero
6:42
David Chastain. I don't know if you
6:44
remember him at all or if you heard of
6:46
him, but uh, yeah, he's very
6:48
underground, but I I like Chastain and
6:50
u, his band and I always sent him my
6:52
demo.
6:53
Just the band.
6:54
Yeah. Yeah.
6:55
Wait, it was a female singer.
6:57
Yes. Leona. Leona, right?
7:00
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
7:01
I know. Leather Leona. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
7:02
Yeah. She's a great singer. Way ahead
7:05
way ahead of her time in the in the
7:07
scene. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I know.
7:09
Um anyways, but but yeah, she was in
7:11
Chastain and the guitar player was David
7:13
Chastain and he had a small record label
7:15
and he was putting out instrumental
7:18
guitar records. So he's the guy that
7:20
first offered me a record deal and um
7:24
um then he licensed the album to we did
7:26
the first vibr to Japan and uh
7:29
yeah it was kind of like success like
7:32
overnight I would say it was it pretty
7:35
fast you know like um
7:37
like pretty soon I was getting offers to
7:39
go there and tour and do promotion tours
7:42
and it I would say was the first market
7:44
for me Japan.
7:46
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Uh and then of course
7:49
you the fire was lit and you you
7:52
continued with Firewind, right? I mean
7:54
uh
7:56
stuff.
7:57
First I went with Dream Evil and then I
7:59
went with Flywwind. We went to Japan and
8:01
then slowly started doing more tour
8:03
stuff in Europe and uh you know I did a
8:05
bunch of European tours first and played
8:07
a lot of festivals before then I went to
8:09
America. Then I then I was asked to do
8:11
America with Archeneemy 2005
8:15
and I joined them as a touring guitar
8:16
player for the summer summer 2005 and we
8:21
did the Ozfest which was awesome. It was
8:23
like Sabbath and Iron Maiden. It was
8:26
amazing experience and that was like my
8:28
first experience with like a
8:29
professional band, you know, a band that
8:32
had management, a band that have a crew
8:35
and I saw a lot of things how it works
8:37
like business-wise because up till that
8:40
point it was just me and my friends and
8:43
we didn't know what the hell we were
8:44
doing.
8:46
That was still with with Angela on
8:48
vocals, right?
8:48
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That was still with
8:50
Angela. Yeah. It was the album Doomsday
8:52
Machine.
8:53
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, man. Uh, so I guess uh
8:57
that's where you were seen by Aussie or
9:00
No,
9:01
maybe or maybe not. I think uh I left a
9:05
CD in the office because somebody told
9:06
me that they were looking for a guitar
9:08
player at the time and I left like a CD
9:10
in the office, but I never heard from
9:12
them. I I at the time I heard from them
9:15
like four years later.
9:16
Yeah.
9:17
So I don't know if they remember me from
9:19
Ofest or I have no idea. Or maybe they
9:22
saw me on YouTube later on. Could be.
9:25
What was the uh the initial
9:28
breakthrough? I mean when when they
9:29
contacted you it was uh management
9:31
Chevron or somebody somebody?
9:33
Yeah, some somebody from somebody from
9:35
the management, somebody that worked for
9:36
them. Yeah. Yeah. Somebody from the
9:38
office basically. And yeah, they just
9:39
sent an email and asked me if I want to
9:41
audition for them and uh yeah, of course
9:44
you say yes and you know like a couple
9:46
of weeks later they they flew me to Los
9:48
Angeles to do the audition. Yeah.
9:50
And they right away they signed with
9:53
you, right?
9:54
Yeah, like right away they, you know, we
9:56
had we played and we it went really well
9:58
and um you know, Aussie seemed to be
10:00
very pleased and and both him and Jarren
10:03
and they had like a little meeting on
10:04
the side and then they came back and
10:06
said, "Hey, want to come back and do
10:07
like a show with us in August."
10:09
Yeah.
10:10
And I said, "Yeah, hell yeah." It's, you
10:13
know, and um and I had to keep it a
10:14
secret for a couple of months until the
10:16
show happened.
10:17
Wow.
10:18
And it was difficult.
10:19
Very difficult.
10:21
Um, man, Oussie, God bless him, rest in
10:24
peace. Uh, he, uh, he changed the the
10:27
music. Uh,
10:29
and changed your life probably
10:32
forever. Forever. My back. I mean, up
10:34
until that point, I was
10:36
I mean, I had my my career in Japan and
10:38
a little bit in Europe. But, but, I was
10:41
like a starving musician, man. Like, I
10:44
was like I wasn't making any money,
10:46
nothing, you know? Well, I mean,
10:48
we just made enough money from the
10:50
labels to to pay for the recordings and
10:52
just going on tour, just investing all
10:54
the time. And uh
10:55
you know, I still live at at I was
10:57
living with my girlfriend, my wife now,
10:59
my back then my girlfriend at her her
11:01
apartment.
11:03
Uh
11:04
but you know once u Aussie thing came in
11:09
the gig everything that was like a major
11:11
breakthrough for me like um
11:14
of course a lot more people found out
11:16
about me they heard about me and uh and
11:19
uh yeah and I was able to uh finally buy
11:22
a sandwich you know.
11:25
So I mean even after Rosie your fans
11:28
stayed with you probably still to this
11:31
day. some some of the of the fans from
11:33
back in the day. Uh
11:36
yeah, I don't know. I mean, some people
11:38
still remember me from that time. Um
11:41
it's kind of funny how
11:43
how it works, you know, the whole thing.
11:45
Like it's uh a little bit like a
11:47
hierarchy in heavy metal. Like once once
11:50
a few years pass and if you can if you
11:52
still keep doing it, all of a sudden you
11:54
get the a lot of respect from the fans.
11:56
And
11:57
at that time I was getting some [ __ ] of
11:59
course but I was also getting good
12:02
feedback. It was a mix. Um but now it's
12:05
a lot more now it's a lot more you know
12:08
more like a respect. Um and people kind
12:10
of especially after Aussie passed a lot
12:13
of fans realized hey that guy was pretty
12:16
good you know he's pretty underrated.
12:18
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, but it's you know
12:21
the the thing for me is like I never pay
12:23
attention to that you know I always kept
12:24
doing my thing like um
12:26
Were you were you were you maybe called
12:28
to to play on the that last uh seventh
12:31
gig that last gig? No
12:34
no no no it wasn't
12:36
maybe maybe the list was pretty long.
12:38
Yeah it was a long list but I think they
12:41
should have include every guitar player
12:43
there. I don't know.
12:44
I think I think a lot of people share
12:46
your opinion. A lot of people said that
12:48
because not only me but I think a lot of
12:50
ex members were not invited.
12:52
Yeah.
12:53
Uh you know whatever man like uh it it I
12:56
I don't think it means anything. I don't
12:58
I don't take that stuff personally. Like
13:00
they like like I said a long list a lot
13:02
of people involved in that production. A
13:05
lot of A-list people.
13:07
Yeah.
13:07
Um
13:09
anyways and uh you know I was busy
13:11
having a kid.
13:12
Yeah. Yeah. Of course. I mean that's uh
13:15
that's even better.
13:17
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I wouldn't I would to
13:19
be honest my son was born July 4th. It
13:21
was one day before the Birmingham game.
13:24
Oh, really? Oh,
13:25
yeah. So, I guess I guess even even if I
13:28
was invited, it would have been very
13:29
difficult.
13:30
Yeah. It's hard to go there.
13:33
Yeah. Yeah.
13:34
Yeah. Good, good, good. Uh what happened
13:37
after after Oussie? It was about five
13:39
years. I know you had you recorded an
13:41
album with him. One album, right?
13:44
One I did one album. Yeah. The album
13:46
Scream in 2010.
13:47
Yeah, I remember that one. Yeah.
13:48
I mean, we did we did a bunch of tours,
13:50
you know. We did a couple world tours,
13:52
you know. Then he went back with
13:53
Sabbath.
13:53
Yeah.
13:54
Uh I kept doing my thing. Then then we
13:56
did occasional gigs here and there. We
13:58
did some stuff in South America, some
14:00
stuff in Japan.
14:02
And after that, he kind of,
14:05
you know, he uh he reunited with Zach
14:07
Wild for his farewell tour.
14:09
Yeah. Yeah. And I think after that he
14:11
had his accident and he stopped.
14:14
He's like he I mean there are a lot of
14:17
farewell tours like Oussie did with uh
14:20
al also with no more tours no more tears
14:23
was supposed to be a last tour but yeah
14:26
he kept going 30 more years you know.
14:29
Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. He once told me
14:30
that this is the oldest trick in the
14:32
book.
14:34
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Kiss did it many
14:36
times.
14:38
Everybody does it. I mean, Judas Priest
14:40
did it. Kiss did it.
14:43
Yeah. My my my favorite band is now
14:45
Scorpion. Scorpions did it.
14:47
I mean, my favorite band is now doing
14:48
it. Twisted Sister. They were supposed
14:50
to
14:51
uh break up 10 years ago, but now
14:53
they're doing, you know, 50 years. Yeah.
14:56
Never never say never, I guess. I don't
14:58
know.
14:58
Yeah. Yeah. U after after Rosie, you you
15:02
did release solo albums, right?
15:05
Well, I did uh I did a bunch of solo
15:08
records
15:08
also with many guests. I know. I know.
15:11
Yeah. Yeah. Sometimes I do some guest
15:13
things and uh you know in 2017 Fine was
15:16
inactive for a few years and then I
15:18
brought the band back in 2017
15:21
and
15:23
Yeah. And then you know 3 years later
15:24
there was a pandemic.
15:26
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But
15:27
in the pandemic you were creative right?

17:15
that you did reunite uh and but I can't
17:17
remember if it was a show or something
17:19
before the pandemic. before the
17:22
pandemic. No, I just did a bunch of uh
17:25
