RIP Pete Way

Read the book. It’s got a lot (but not nearly all) of them.

...that book is 94 bucks used... No Ebook is available..

Look for it as an ebook at your local library. Mine had it available.

Pete put out his own book. "A Fast Ride Out Of Here - Confessions of Rock's Most Dangerous Man". It's good, and it's chock full of debauchery and lowlights.

A true legend, RIP Pete.

Saw AC/DC (Bon Scott era) open for UFO. Could be the best concert pairing I've ever witnessed.

Another one gone. Pete Way, formerly of UFO, passed today from injuries sustained in an accident a couple of months back.

Pete Way was one of my main influences when I was young. Had every UFO album up to the live album. Pete never disappointed. Saw them live twice during the glory years. What a rock show. And then also yesterday morning my first “band mom” passed as well. Theresa was my guitar players mom. We practiced in the basement every Thursday night For 2 years. Never a complaint. Hauling in equipment on the weekend at 4-5-6AM All pie eyed, laughing, no doubt banging the door jams. She loved us. So my music influences took a big hit yesterday. I do know that if Theresa would have met Pete she would have said, “That Pete, he is such a nice boy”. A tough one for me yesterday

Sad news, here's a tune that features Pete.


I saw UFO many times from the 70's onward, even saw a show that Pete ripped his Union Jack pants off on a monitor.
If you looking for stage presence, Pete was always a major part of the show.

RIP

Wow. R.I.P. Pete.

One of their former guitarists, Paul Chapman, just passed away in June. He's been around town here for decades. Great guitarist and cool guy. Taught tons of players around here over the years.

I refuse to believe this. No.

I was listening to UFO before anybody had heard of them..

Me to. Saw 'em live in 1979 right before Schenker left. It was life changing. They're my all time favorite band!

Here's another good book on them:

In his UFO prime, Pete was a straight-up badass on stage. Larger than life. Women wanted him, men wanted to be him. Great player, great entertainer. I was a teen when I saw him in Columbus, Ohio (in UFO, late-70's) on the large theater stage. Big influence, if for no other reason than I wanted to have that kind of presence and entertain people in that way.

And, T-Birds. Yeah.

RIP
