Biography

Waysted was a short-lived and rather obscure British heavy metal outfit from the mid-'80s. Led by former UFO bassist Pete Way (hence the spelling of the group's name), the band's original lineup consisted of another UFO alumni, guitarist/keyboardist Paul Raymond, in addition to guitarist Ronnie Kayfield, drummer Frank Noon, and a chap called Fin on vocals. The group's members would come and go often during their brief career (with Way being the only constant member), as Waysted issued a total of four albums -- 1983's Vices, 1984's self-titled release, 1985's The Good, the Bad, the Waysted, and 1986's Save Your Prayer -- in addition to opening tours for such notable '80s metal arena headliners as Dio and Iron Maiden. The group broke up shortly after their final album, as Way eventually resurfaced with a reunited UFO in the mid-'90s. ~ Greg Prato, All Music Guide

Waysted are a heavy metal band formed by UFO bassist Pete Way and Scottish rocker Fin Muir in 1983. Recruiting Frank Noon (formerly with Def Leppard), Ronnie Kayfield and Paul Raymond, Waysted signed to Chrysalis Records and released Vices in 1983.
