Adee Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Not the best advert for taking drugs, what a shame he still seems to think its clever the tosser :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Thanks for that. One of my claims to fame...I quit a UFO tribute band a few years ago, and Pete played with them a short while later at the Limelight in Crewe. So the story to my mates down the pub is.....Pete Way was my replacement in the band. Cobblers of course, as he just happened to be able to step in on that night, and only for a handful of numbers, but it's a fun story. At least it is in my head.

I took his drug related comments as tongue in cheek, judging by the state he's in now, I don't think for one minute he thinks it's clever! Say wot you like about him but the reality is, in his day he was a great solid bassist and showman who was in a band who (if it wern't for personality clashes) would have been huge.
