Firewind is a band that features Gus G., the man who replaced Zakk Wylde in Ozzy's band, and recorded the album Scream with him. Gus G., whose real name is Kostas Karamitroudis, obviously digs the great Ulrich Roth (Scorpions), as the name Firewind is taken from Electric Sun's 2nd album of the same name (They even cover the Scorps classic Pictured Life on this album!).  When asked about Uli Jon Roth, Gus G stated, "'He's a guy that I took my band's name (Firewind) from. If you listen to Uli Jon Roth, what he was doing back in the 70s with the Scorpions, and of course, with Electric Sun, you'll see, "Ohh, now I know where all the 80s shredders like Yngwie and all those guys got their inspiration from. He's an original for me. He's like a true original like Blackmore. He's a mentor, a friend, and a guitar idol of mine."
