Pete Way - farewell to a true legend
Along with the entire world of rock music, we were very saddened to hear of the untimely death of our dear friend Pete Way. An exceptional bassist and writer, from his early days in UFO Pete was an inspiration to a generation, with his playing of blues based hard rock and metal a shining light to so many. Artists such as Ozzy Osbourne, Geezer Butler, Kirk Hammett, Saxon, Tom Morello, Pearl Jam, and Nikki Sixx all cite Pete as an inspiration.
We have had the pleasure of working with Pete for the past decade, working on new material, but more importantly getting to know the man. A true gent. Up the Villa!
