Informazioni sull?autore

Pete Way has established himself as a much-loved and highly regarded figure among rock fans, critics and fellow musicians alike. Best known for his work with UFO, Pete's energetic live performances were at the heart of the band's countless world tours, and his melodic basslines underpinned the catalogue of enduring rock classics upon which UFO's reputation and legacy are founded. Pete's post-UFO work has included stints with Fastway (alongside members of Motorhead and Humble Pie), Ozzy Osbourne, and his own long-running band Waysted. Pete's keen ear for song arrangement has also seen him serve as producer for popular Hard Rock acts such as Twisted Sister and the Cockney Rejects. Pete is currently working on a solo album, Walking On The Edge.

'A tale of rock'n'roll excess par excellence' Record Collector

Pete Way has lived a life so outrageous, shocking and full of incident that rock wild man - and his regular partner-in-crime - Ozzy Osbourne once said, 'They call me a madman but compared to Pete Way, I'm out of my league.' As founding member, songwriter and bassist of one of Britain's most venerated hard-rock bands, UFO, Way scaled the heights of arena-rock success in the US and around the world during the '70s and '80s - and inspired such acolytes as Steve Harris of Iron Maiden and Nikki Sixx of Mötley Crüe. He also left behind him a trail of carnage and self-destruction.

A heroin addict for more than ten years, Way blew millions on drugs and debauchery. The human cost of his rampaging runs to six marriages, four divorces, a pair of estranged daughters and two dead ex-wives. More recently, he has fought a successful battle against cancer.

A Fast Ride out of Here is Pete Way's own no-holds-barred account of his rock'n'roll life. By turns hilarious, harrowing and heart-breaking, it is the extraordinary tale of one of rock's great survivors.
