At the age of 18 he left Greece to enroll in the Berklee College of Music, but left after only a few weeks and began working on making a name on the metal scene. During his brief time at Berklee Gus came into contact with Joe Stump, who he credits as a great influence on his career.[2] On July 2005, he temporarily replaced Christopher Amott as guitarist of melodic death metal band Arch Enemy on their Ozzfest dates, and also contributed to their album Doomsday Machine by playing lead guitar on the song "Taking Back my Soul". He has made guest appearances for various artists,including the title track song on the latest Rob Rock release "Garden of Chaos" as well as providing solos on the songs "Felonies of the Christian Art" and "Life Deprived" by Old Man's Child, from the album In Defiance of Existence, and a few solos on the album Gallows Gallery by the Japanese avant-garde black metal band Sigh). Most recently Gus gave two guest solos for the new Nightrage album Wearing A Martyr's Crown marking a return to his former band. The solos appear on the instrumental Sting Of Remorse. He also appeared in In This Moment recent album A Star-Crossed Wasteland on "The Road". The stage name "Gus G." has two sources of origin - "Gus" is a common Greek American English translation of the name "Kostas," and "G" was a nickname given to him by a friend during his time living in the U.S. On 2005 he played some guest solos on Rock … Γυνή Και Θάλασσα,a record from a Greek rock band called Δυτικές Συνοικίες Gus G was chosen as the third of the three best guitar players all over the world in 2003 by the Japanese magazine BURRN!. In 2010 Gus G appeared alongside Firewind[3][4] in Issue 3[5] of the Eternal Descent Comic Book which is an epic comic series that features characters of several of ESP Guitars’ most popular artists.[6] 2011 will also see Gus once again playing on the new Nightrage album Insidious.
