Pete Way R.I.P.

Another huge loss, Pete Way of UFO and Waysted passed away.

He was a major part of UFO, and was a larger than life figure on stage - a true, "Rock Star," regardless of the size of the venue he was playing.

Wow. Another major loss. And the hits just keep coming...

The "Way" in Fastway.

He must have been hamstrung by previous contracts with Chrysalis Records via ufo, that he ended up not recording with Fastway.

That's exactly right. He was a founding member, and just before they started recording that first Fastway album he was contacted by Chrysalis and ordered NOT to record that album or he'd be in violation of his contract.

That's why he put Waysted together instead.

Saw Waysted opening up for Ozzy and Motley Crue. Never did get to see UFO though, wish I had; love the 'Strangers In The Night' album!
