Pete Way, ex-UFO, in an interview with Classic Rock mag after his recent heart attack..“The only thing I ever worry about is Aston Villa. [Villa were relegated from the Premier League last season after an abysmal campaign.]“I blame them for this, hahaha. They’ve caused me so much misery over the years - but I can’t let ‘em go, can I? They’re my team.“I still go to see them. I’m going up next week. I ignore everything else. I shrug it off. I don't let anything bother me. The only thing I take notice of, the only thing that bothers me, is Villa.”http://teamrock.com/feature/2016-08-23/pete-way-ufo-heart-attack-interview

My mate Fleago used to like them for some unfathomable reason and occasionally made me listen to their 'songs'.I like them now too.*only joking.

Dad was a mate of his. He has pissed so much money up walls.It wasn't for fun he called his solo band Waysted apparently. I'm just too young to have been going to gigs when he first left UFO, but from those I used to work with who are a couple of years older, it was the most appropriate name for a band.Unless Justin Beiber starts touring under the iamawanker.com moniker.
I love 'em.The pinnacle of blues based heavy rock from the 70's, and singer Phil Mogg has got a great voice.
My first ever gig was UFO at the Odeon, January 1980. They played every January and I went for a few years, one year hung around by the stage door and was let in by a roadie. I can confirm that Pete Way is a lunatic, absolutely larger than life. As an aside, I missed Schenker with UFO by a year so a couple of years ago took my then sixteen-year-old to see him play Holmfirth for HIS first gig. He was backed by the Scorpions rhythm section, see below, and was brilliant. In this clip from 3.30 minutes he's astonishing.

The support act was Uli-Jon Roth's band, so it was a Scorps guitarist reunionMy favourite Hard Rock / Meta band
