“LIFE WON’T WAIT” FOR YOU TO DISCOVER HOW AWESOME GUS G. IS

I interviewed Gus G. this past Friday. He’s such an incredibly nice and talented dude, and the new Firewind album, Days of Defiance, is so friggin’ rockin’, that mid-interview I started to feel really, really guilty that I don’t like Mr. G’s Ozzy debut, Scream. Then again, it’s not really Gus’ fault that the album is perfectly serviceable but totally generic, since he didn’t write any of the material — take one listen to Days of Defiance, and you’ll know that if Gus G. had written the album, it would be 1,000% better.

So. Here’s the new video for Scream’s second single, the de rigeur power ballad, “Life Won’t Wait.” It’s indicative of all of Scream in that it’s a totally fine, and completely unspectacular, song. And, duh, my favorite part is the Gus G. guitar solo. But, really, I wanted to post it to make sure you know that Firewind’s Days of Defiance comes out October 26 on Century, and that the first single from that album, “World on Fire,” is available for download on iTunes right now. And it’s way better than this:
