Saw Fastway and met them at the Cleveland Agora in the early 1980s. Can't believe that was a lifetime ago. This. . . was rock and roll. Too bad we don't have enough similar quality rock in 2024.
I saw them in the 80s when they opened for Scorpions. As much as I like the Scorps...these guys blew them away. They were loud, on point, the whole show was amazing. They had that British sound and in my opinion were way too good to be an opening act.
This takes me back to 1983 I had a Pioneer Super tuner cassette deck and a pair of Jensen Tri ax speakers in my 74 Mustang II winter beater, my girlfriend at the time, her father said he could here me coming from 3 blocks away blasting this very song!😀😀😀, shit those were the days!
Fastway was dubbed "the next big thing" and deserved much more recognition!! Record companies were wasting their time and money on promoting all those other "hair bands"
Guitar: Fast Eddie (of Motörhead) Vocals: Dave King (then just an irish boy, later of Flogging Molly) Bass: Richard McCraken (of Taste) Drums: Jerry Shirley (of Humble Pie) Also in the group was Pete Way of UFO (hence the name Fastway) before he left due to contractual issues. Really, they were the most unknown supergroup that never got their deserved success.
@Jacob Tobias According to several websites, he was born Richard McCracken, and also went by Charlie. It's not clear to me if Charles was his middle name, or if Charlie was some kind of nickname.
King's vocals were spot on. Clarke was a great guitarist. Sound was superb...they just couldn't get passed one super hit in Say What You Will. A few more 'above their norm' collaborations is all they needed...wish they had. 'Say' is a top favorite of mine.
RIP Fast Eddie you were awesome ..And to me this is one of the best Videos ..Great Music and some seriously awesome cars ......Way to go :-D .....And Dave King you will always be one of my fav. rock and roll voices :-D ...
I was there at ATCO DRAGWAY in NJ when NFL Films shot this. (I worked at the track). Ha ha, I ended up with the singer's shirt, trading an Aggie Hendricks jet car shirt for it. The announcer in the beginning is Bob Frey. I told the cameraman I would pour gasoline heavily on the track and light it, and you can see that footage right at the end.....
Saw at least half the crowd at Reunion Arena back in 84 leave the arena after Fastway’s set. The headliner was Billy Squier and he had just ruined his career with Rock Me Tonite. Poor Billy, he tried so hard.
I just saw flogging molly live and looking at Dave like makes me chuckle a little bit. Gods this is good but it is so radically different than what he is doing now.
I saw Fastway at a ballroom in Omaha. Before the show the drummer Jerry Shirley was wandering around the floor talking to people. I have their first album. Good stuff!
I remember talking to a crew member of Tony Arnone's Hemi Shaker at the beginning of the video (the black guy, forgot his name). They ran at New England Dragway regularly then. He said he felt bad for the drummer because he didn't think he realized how loud 2 nitro funnycars would be doing a side by side burnout past him. You can almost see him flinch. I had this video along with "Tell Me" on VHS I'd bought on post while stationed in W Germany in the Army in 85'-86'.
Long before the Crue released "kick start my heart" with the lyrics "top fuel funny cars a drug for me".........Fastway put the nitro flames right up in your face. 👍
Old Sodd 😂. Was thinking the same thing..but...his cool vocals get me..😎. Kinda reminds me of a cross between Stephen Pearcy (Ratt) n Tom Keifer (Cinderella)👍

RIP Eddie we thank you for Motorhead and Fastway ...2 awesome groups ....
Fanfreakintastic!!! We need groups like this again.
Dave King has an astounding voice… killer band
This takes me back to 1983 I had a Pioneer Super tuner cassette deck and a pair of Jensen Tri ax speakers in my 74 Mustang II winter beater, my girlfriend at the time, her father said he could here me coming from 3 blocks away blasting this very song!😀😀😀, shit those were the days!
I had the exact set up in my 76 Orange Camaro except I was blasting Zeppelin.
supertuner pioneers were fucking awesome,so were their amps and 6x9s
Found out about these guys because I became a Fast Eddie fan late in life. Probably the most unknown 'supergroup' ever.

Yes My Brother 🎵🎼🎶🎤🎸😎👊
Fast Eddie Clarke r.i.p 🎵🎼🎶🎸🙏👊
@Jacob Tobias Same guy.

I inherited their first album in a stack of records from a friend. It was one of my favorites.
I love them. Remember when it came out. And I’m 61. ROCK AND METAL RULES! Don’t Forget.
saw these guys in '83 with accept and motley crue. i didn't know any of their songs at the time, but they just killed it live.
R.I.P. Fast Eddie
FUCK how did I miss this :( RIP Eddie. Under rated guitar. Fastway, incredibly under rated band.
Killer rock n roll here. Long lost art.
fact..sadly
Ah yes, classic 80's rock at it's best.Fastway is the way to go !
I bought this on cassette in 1984 because of the cover art. I never heard of Fastway. I became an instant fan from this song alone.
Now THAT is RocknRoll! Kick ass song!
How am I only hearing this, for the first time, in 2023? This kicks a$$!
2024 for me. I totally missed this great band in 80s. I'm in my 50s.
I’ve been a fan of these guys ever since I saw Trick Or Treat RIP Fast Eddie Clarke
Fastway was incredible
Thank you
When America still had IT
Riffmaster Fast Eddie. Loved these guys!! 🤘🤘🤘
No matter if the years, decades passed, or covid, volcanos, whatever..Fastway still rocking!🤘
definitely kicks ass.........
Dave King had that distinctive voice
Dave King is forgotten metal god. One of the best metal voices.
One of the best trad. Irish voices also!
That's one of the coolest videos I've ever seen!
In the 80s, drag racing was the coolest thing on television.
'Heft' on the first album is a cracking track ✌
It is incredible
My favorite Fastway song.
That whole album and All Fired Up album are incredible...not a weak track on either
No. It's Say What You Will.
@@A1Authority right you are....and that sucka stands up to any song from any band, say what you will...and you will!!!!
One (top 5) of the loudest concerts I have seen . Fast way opened and Saxon played and Maiden. Piece of mind tour!
I was there dude. Amarillo Civic center. Summer of 83. FUCKING EPIC!!!.
Saw that show in San Diego and it Kicked Ass🤘😎🤘
I saw that same lineup and tour in Memphis. What a great show that was!
N Y too.
You are correct seen that same show in San Antonio epic show no doubt about it.
love the fact Jerry Shirley was in Fastway 🤘
Loved their album for the movie trick or treat soundtrack
That is a great soundtrack. It's fun to watch that movie sometimes. Trick or treat. 🎃🤘
crazy how Dave King could rock like this and then sing something completely different in Flogging Molly.
Pretty awesome dude
This one song is better than the last 20 years of "music"
Amen ❤
Agreed
Wish I could hear it. Stupid car noises.
Absolutely!
Fastway Rocks!
🍻
Yeah ok lol
This tune just rocks all the way to the end!
Fast Eddie burning those Les Paul strings up!!!!
King's vocals were spot on. Clarke was a great guitarist. Sound was superb...they just couldn't get passed one super hit in Say What You Will. A few more 'above their norm' collaborations is all they needed...wish they had. 'Say' is a top favorite of mine.
As a huge Rory Gallagher fan, I love this lineup of Fastway simply because of Charlie McCracken from Taste

Fastway was an amazing band \m/ \m/
Wonderful!!! Fastway is superrrrrrrrrr
Saw these guys (Thank you Eddie) twice in the 80's (w/ AC/DC)... Sick...
Awesome band have all there CDs R.I.P fast Eddie Clark and Pete Way you both are very missed
Dave sounds a lot like Noddy Holder of Slade and that is awesome.
I still regularly listen to the album, good record.

They look like the Bay City Rollers! Love it!!
I saw Fastway at a ballroom in Omaha. Before the show the drummer Jerry Shirley was wandering around the floor talking to people. I have their first album. Good stuff!

swietny videoclip oraz super piosenka oraz wspanialy zespol fastway
Damnit, THAT is how you make a rock video!
Saw these guys when they opened up for AC/DC in 1983
The greatest hard rock music clip ever! Great music, they have some great tracks and are a band that I just found out about not long ago.
Got to see these guys at Lamours Brooklyn man they rocked!!!

@@edsphone6952 Jerry Shirley on drums, also from Humble Pie
Oh boy
옛 추억 새록새록..
I love me some Fastway and drag racing.
Dave King looks and sounds like a Bon Scott/Noddy Holder hybrid!
I was thinking Young Vince Neil. Motley Crue
@@tobyserpa636 You're right Toby. No physical similarities mind.
Loved pre-80s Slade. Run run away....
I was thinking Bon Scott/Mick Jagger hybrid
Fuking brilliant thank you!😊
Bon Scotts brother ............ 🤘🤘🤘
el más auténtico Rock Duro..... simplemente Magnífico......Fast Eddye Clarke.......
Saw them open up for acdc,Nov.1983.Awesome show.
R.I.P. Fast Eddie and Pete Way......

Long before the Crue released "kick start my heart" with the lyrics "top fuel funny cars a drug for me".........Fastway put the nitro flames right up in your face. 👍
Young Dave king ,great vocalist, he was only 20 the first time they rehearsed
Dave King has some voice!
Yeah bring it man ❤❤😊😊
RIP Pete Way
Man, hard to believe that Dave King is the vocalist of these guys, from hard rock to Ska Punk!
Damn what a voice !!!
OH MY GAWD THOSE PANTS
Old Sodd 😂. Was thinking the same thing..but...his cool vocals get me..😎. Kinda reminds me of a cross between Stephen Pearcy (Ratt) n Tom Keifer (Cinderella)👍
"That's a music video right there! When I can actually hear it that is lmao!!!"
