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.”

That's great. 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.

I love 'em.

The pinnacle of blues based heavy rock from the 70's, and singer Phil Mogg has got a great voice.

I used to see Pete Way around all the time. 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.

The amount of names for Beiber running through my head now simply isn't healthy.

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.

I was at a couple of Scorpions gigs when Michael Schenker guested for a few songs. The support act was Uli-Jon Roth's band, so it was a Scorps guitarist reunion

My favourite Hard Rock / Metal band

I never knew Way was a Villa fan. They were the first band I ever saw. They lived in Birmingham for a while in the 80's and a couple of my old school band mates played with them on and off. I'm surprised Way is a Villa fan though, especially being from Down South.
