	Fastway (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fastway was a 1980s heavy metal band featuring guitarist "Fast" Eddie Clarke formerly of Motörhead, bassist Pete Way formerly of UFO, drummer Jerry Shirley formerly of Humble Pie, and vocalist Dave King.
		The band was formed as a heavy metal supergroup of sorts and took their name from a combination of two of the band members' names.
		This article on a United Kingdom rock music band is a stub.

	Hair metal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		During its heyday the genre was generally referred to as heavy metal or simply metal; the fixation on the outrageous clothing and hairstyles of its most popular bands arose during the 1990s, after hair metal had been overshadowed by the simpler, back-to-basics appeal of grunge.
		Countless bands relocated to Los Angeles to follow their example, and formed a colorful scene centering around the Sunset Strip.
		Ironically, while many grunge and alternative music bands signed contracts with major record labels, many hair-metal bands, once considered proponents of “corporate rock,” signed with small, independent labels, and found niches; for example, CMC International released the music of Slaughter, Warrant, and others.

		Countless bands relocated to Los Angeles to follow their example, and formed a colorful scene centering around the Sunset Strip (additional info and facts about Sunset Strip).
		Bands like Boston, Journey, and Foreigner, influenced Bon Jovi (additional info and facts about Bon Jovi), Def Leppard (additional info and facts about Def Leppard), and Poison (Any substance that causes injury or illness or death of a living organism), among others, to record power ballads.
		Despite hair metal's popularity at the time, many began to consider it unimportant or derisory, due to a common perception that the bands were more focused on their make-up, clothing (usually spandex), lyrics, and stage shows, than on their music.

	Fastway - Trick or Treat: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
		Their heroes brandished a mic and attacked brutally with a six string, so a movie with a bit of gore, some satanic rituals and lots of head banging music was right up their alley, now fondly remembered as a campy classic.
		Horrifying enough that the drums insist on being a little bit of an annoyance with their repetitive path, but the way King keeps belting the same five words til you just want to smash the song is insulting to the listener.
		Too bad Fastway's one opportunity was squandered and the movie crashed due to not being the kind of ticket draw the studio had hoped.

	No Life 'til Metal - CD Gallery - Fastway
		An '80s British hard-rock/heavy metal band originally formed by ex-Motorhead guitarist "Fast" Eddie Clarke and UFO bassist Pete Way, thus the name FAST-WAY.
		Unfortunately Pete left before the first recording, at the time thinking he was going to become a permanent part of Ozzy Osbourne.
		Even though the heavy metal thunder is no longer present, the band still knows how to write a hook and hold a listeners interest.

	The Official On-Line Tribute to Fast Eddie Clarke
		The band were really ‘fired up’ at this point and with sales of ‘Fastway’ still rising and a successful US tour under their belts, the mood was just right to create a really great album.
		Fastway supported Ratt, The Scorpions, Rush and Billy Squire throughout a repeat performance of the previous year’s excursions.
		Eddie knew that there was a lot of mileage left in Fastway and after a short break, he re-joined Dave King in Ireland and set about putting together a new Fastway line up.

	Fastway : Fastway - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		One such British band, Fastway, was led by two veterans: Motorhead guitarist Fast Eddie Clarke and Humble Pie drummer Jerry Shirley.
		Fastway had no full-time bassist at this point, and whoever played on the album isn't credited.
		It's interesting to note that, although Fastway's influences are obvious, the band generally avoided the venomous critical barbs and comparisons suffered by Kingdom Come five years later.

	Dave King Interview
		Back in his '80s Fastway days that most CRR aficionados might know him best for, it was those wailing Janis Joplin-esque bluesy vocals that made him a distinct and refreshing aberration on the hard rock/heavy metal heyday of the time.
		I knew that after the Fastway thing ended, you went on to do something else with another band, but I lost track, otherwise I would have checked out what you were up to sooner...
		In the other bands, I could never really be honest with myself because I was always worried about the banner of the band, for example.

		As was previously mentioned, Fastway had to struggle to get recongized as a competent band and to get their record sales up, even though the first few albums, at least, were without doubt fine albums in their own right.
		Unfortunately the band seemed to be more interested in the "sex" and "drugs" parts than the "rock n' roll" part of the rock myth.
		The band was formed in Richmond, USA by, among others, a bunch of art students and movie makers, so while their mixture of punk, Thrash Metal, Glam Metal etc. was perhaps musically not that original it was only natural that their focus was clearly on image and appearance.

	Fastway : Bad Bad Girls - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		As many personnel changes as Fastway went through in the '80s and early '90s, it's no wonder that the band's work was as erratic and inconsistent as it was.
		When Fastway recorded 1990s Bad Bad Girls for Enigma, the lineup included lead guitarist Fast Eddie Clarke, lead singer Lea Hart and -- it was alleged -- two ex-members of Girlschool: Kim McAuliffe and Chris Bonacci.
		In the early '80s, Fastway showed some promise; on this 1990 release, it sounds like a band that has run out of gas.

		FASTWAY - Fastway (1983) - After leaving Motorhead, guitarist “Fast” Eddie Clarke formed this band with U.F.O. bassist Pete Way (who jumped ship before Fastway even entered the studio).
		Though they would release numerous other records, Fastway remains their only 100% consistent album; there ain’t a bad track to be found.
		With the exception of Slayer, all the bands born of the mid-80's thrash movement opted to tone down their sound to achieve long-ranging success, but while Metallica’s idea of musical growth consisted of jumping on the alternative rock bandwagon, Megadeth embraced a wide range of styles for this release.

	Fastway: Reviews, Discography, Audio Clips, and more \|\|\| Music.com
		One of the most promising '80s supergroups that never was, England's Fastway was never quite able to come to grips with their sonic identity, and despite a promising start, in the end their career was an almost absolute flameout.
		With veteran drummer Jerry Shirley (ex-Humble Pie) and promising Irish newcomer vocalist Dave King rounding out their lineup, the resulting Fastway was awarded instant supergroup status, even though the mercurial Way decided to quit mere weeks after the release of their eponymous 1983 debut (going on to form the ill-fated Waysted).
		As for Fastway, perhaps knowing he would never be able to match the intensity (and distortion) of his previous group, Clarke chose instead to seek a more mainstream hard rock direction with his new band, and indeed the album was very well-received in the U.S., climbing into the Top 40.

		As explained in Talk:Crawley_Fastway, the scheme is generally known as 'Fastway' and it will eventually serve Horley as well.
		The first 30 results (out of 269,000) from a Google search reveals that Fastway is also the name of a postal service in New Zealand, a defunct rock band, some sort of ticketing system in Finland and a courier company in the UK.
		Given that, and its clear appeal as a marketing name, it is likely that Fastway will end up getting disambiguated to Fastway (guided busway near Gatwick Airport) or similar anyway.

		The B side is by a band called Dove, who we had never heard of before, but they do the sludgy metallic punk thing too, musically in the same ballpark but the vocals tend to get a little grating.
		This is an album (and a band) that are not celebrated nearly enough -- possibly out of misguided notions of their being another bad psych knock-off among the many crowding the record racks in the early seventies.
		But Japan's Flower Travellin' Band were no mere cheesy imitators of occidental rock 'n roll, they were in actual fact a full-fledged, pioneering tour de force of psychedelic progressive hard rock, equalling the krautrock heavies of the era.

	Classic Trax: Fastway by Martin Popoff
		New Wave Of British Heavy Metal, a crosstown traffic band called Fastway launched a scorching, shimmery patch of proto-classic rock in the form of a self-titled debut that was a big wide smile on what was otherwise a serious new metal landscape.
		Yet the things the band left behind in hard rock are classic albums, especially the first and second Fastways.
		This was a band built for arenas, something which would happen soon enough as Fastway joined Saxon and headliners Iron Maiden for a long stomp around America.

		This is a band to watch out for, as their live set is easily one of the most entertaining around.
		I recently got to speak with the band - most of these questions are answered by Gary Schwindt, who does some of the instrumental work on "Swagger" (including the awesome trumpet playing) and serves as their manager, but some of the other band members rang in on this interview as well....
		As far as bands go, it's a rare event when we don't connect with whomever is on the bill with us.

	BNR Metal Pages -- Bow Wow (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The oldest of all Japanese metal bands, Bow Wow formed in 1975 and by the early eighties had become a popular band in their home country, though they were virtually unknown elsewhere.
		Though their earlier material was decidely hard rock and a shade poppy at times, they were unquestionably a prime influence on Loudness and the other Japanese bands that would emerge in the eighties, and guitarist Kyoji Yamamoto was quite an accomplished heavy rock guitarist.
		The band broke up in the early nineties, but in 1995 Kyoji Yamamoto put together a new version of the band, now back as Bow Wow, and had recorded as late as 2002.

		Some bands are like runners in that some are for endurance, while others sprint.
		Parts of it reminded me of Great White, which was a band that I've liked since the first time I saw their video for "Rock Me" on MTV.
		Yea Pete's record lable would not allow him to tour or to join the band because of legal reasons.That is why he is not mentioned on the album nowhere as the bass player.just Eddie,Dave and Jerry are mentioned.

	An interview with ex-Motorhead guitarist "Fast" Eddie Clarke - 2.26.01
		There is no band, no music and no particular direction set as yet but what it definitely is, is the realization of Clarke’s desire to come from out of retirement and to follow wherever his fingers lead him on the fretboard.
		I realized after FASTWAY that yeah, we were friends but they shat on me, like musicians do, but the Phil and Lemmy thing was so special that it was like being in the Army I think.
		A lot of bands had that, bands like THE POLICE or even U2 and bands like that that had a weird sound, well, they sounded weird at first but after they got it cornered it started sounding really good.

		As Fastway were starting their first U.S. tour, Peter Way left to join Ozzy Osbourne's The Blizzard Of Oz (after a short stint with Osbourne, Way formed Waysted) and was replaced by bassist Charlie McCracken.
		Although the soundtrack stayed on the charts for eleven months, the group was never able to capitalize on it and broke up.
		In '90 Clarke and Hart reformed the group again and, along with members of the female heavy metal band Girlschool, recorded 1990's Bad Bad Girls which went virtually unheard.

		Vocalist Dave King used to be in Fastway, the band put together by Motorhead guitarist Fast Eddie Clarke and UFO/Waysted bassist Pete Way.
		Fastway fans will probably not know what to make of Dave’s current sound.
		After the failure of Fastway and Katmandu, rumor has it that Dave hit the skids, so I have to congratulate him for having the ability to reinvent himself, rather than attempt to survive in an industry that doesn’t embrace 80s hard rock singers.
