- Опубликовано: 3 июл 2022
- Hey all! Heard this one in the car the other day on XM radio (Ozzy's Boneyard), and knew that I'd have to come home and learn it. Just a killer riff. Figured that it would be a good addition to the awesome riff series.
Hope you enjoy and/or find it useful.
Cheers, KDA

I've always loved Fastway.
In 1985 I dreamed of someday being able to grab a guitar a rip this lick like a boss. That day is here!!
thank you for the story, great band Fastway!
An old friend I jammed with in the 90's hits me up out of the blue and say" we are doing a Fastway tribute. I committed instantly. Just out of curiosity I type in a few words and this video shows up. Perfect! I have been looking for a fun niche project and we ate getting together soon to play this music. Like ot was meant to be. And thank you for getting the history right, there were a dozen versions of what really happened. In 2001 I stopped into the Rainbow Room and and was chatting with Lemme, I asked what he thought of Fastway and he said" it's just a sissy version of Motorhead with a singer that is opposite of me. " Then I bought him a drink and next thing I'm at his place snorting giant lines of speed. It was that one time when your hero was everything you though and more. What a hard core man. Thank you so much.
It was this song that set me apart from my classmates who were into other more well-known rock bands of the mid-80s. I was alone in that regard and I ain't regretted it since. I still love this band like crazy.
Thanks for the lead-in history of Fastway! Very interesting and killer riff.
Fast Eddie Clarke!!! Very nice!
🔥Song takes me back to my head banging skirt chasing days as a teen!
one of those tunes that you get speeding tickets with, thanks for the lesson, great tune Kelly !
It's incredible how you tell the story and play the featured licks. You are amazing brother. Love the PRS!!!
Thanks Robert! Always good to hear from you. How's the channel going my friend?
@@KellyDeanAllenGuitar I got a prs se, for my love of opeth, they almost play them selves. I love PRS, I got to meet i
him in 1997 in south carolina. I find gibsons awfully hard to play live. so out wieghted to the back side...yuck!
A very awesome “Awesome Riff of the Day!!!”
Never learned this one, and am happy to change that immediately, such a great tune and such a great riff. All that backstory was new news to me, thanks for all the details!
Nicely done! 🤘
Thanks CC! I love me some story telling, haha. Was terrified of talking when I started this channel, now you can't shut me up.
I used to hear fastway on the radio in the early 80s in washington. Great band!
I saw Fastway with Saxon and Iron Maiden. It was my favorite time, back then. Thanks!
Very interesting history, I was not aware of. All I knew was, the first two albums were absolutely fantastic and still are. Waiting for the Roar was even ok and now I understand why. Thanks for those details and for breaking down this awesome riff!!
This band was awesome. Platinum level riffs for sure!
Hi Kelly, I remember him but I didn't know all that history, very interesting. Long that riff and song.
Love it! Thank you so much. Top 20 riffs. You're a very good teacher and very personable. I'm glad I found your channel. I love this tune, always gets turned up. Sorry neighbors... call the landlord and "Say what you will" 🤘
Every clip of yours gets me reaching to Spotify to follow up what you have referred to. Excellent learning curve ... many thanks.

So is the entire Trick or Treat soundtrack
Nice job Kelly! Really appreciate this riff.
Thanks James! Always loved this riff. Simple but very effective.
What a wonderful video! I loved all that history and connection, with the icing on the cake being the iconic riff!
Well done and thank you! Gorgeous guitar…
Great to hear a Fastway song. Inspired me to play this and check out their All Fired Up album again. Lost that cassette years ago.
The last track, If You Could See, was one of my favorites. The vocals are epic.
Thank you.
Great song from a great band. And great tone as well.
Great song and great album! My band used to play Easy Livin' by Fastway, another great tune!
Saw them open for AC/DC in San Francisco @The Cow Palace, Great Album !
One of the first riffs, i learned in '84??? Thanks for the song...!
Thanks for the interesting history on Fastway! I've been playing along with this one recently. A great song from my youth. I have the same PRS as you and it is my favorite guitar of the ones I own. Thanks for sharing!
Absolutely a hall of fame all time riff.
Agreed!
Dace King was also in a band named KATMANDU.
This song is the reason I bought the album when it came out. Then I fell in love with the rest of the album. I still have it.
And thanks for the lesson and interesting info
Ty, 52yrs old, still have equipment and learning to play my childhood fav"s!
Good stuff. I learned this song a while ago and practice it every nite. I thought I was gonna get carpal tunnel learning it haha.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge ! You rock bro!
Thank you, excellent tutorial…. Great song…
Awesome historian and teacher. More videos. Thanks.
Thanks for posting this!
Love the vid! Didn't know Pete quit! Always wondered why all of the pics of the band in 83 had only 3 people in it!
Súper Chingon al 💯
Thanks for the upload! 🎸
🤘🙂👍
Fun to Play, Good Job!
Fastway was very underrated...I still haven't seen the original video of Say what you will on youtube. ..
[The soundtrack to Trick Or Treat was part of my high school soundtrack. Great tunes and great vibe, in that era.]
Cool thanks
Great history lesson! Thanx
Awesome commentary and riff.
Good history lesson on Fast Eddie
Loved that album. Bought it on cassette of course.
I love the way you do this. A little back history to start , it's always great to hear stuff like this from someone who most likely knows the truth... then straight into the tutorial. I could watch your vids all night, unfortunately my other half has clambered out of bed a few times to look at the clock and frown at me 😂😂😂. Rock hard always buddy 👍👍👍☮☮☮🤘🤘🤘.
Sod it, another vodka and another video :) Because you're worth it ...lol
Too kind Tim! Thanks very much. Slowly getting myself out there to more and more ears. Glad you enjoy it.
@@KellyDeanAllenGuitar Enjoy it ? ... always :) Be safe and take care :)
What could have been...... sighs
Say what you will...
But that's a fun little fast way jam...
You're right ↪ Jimmy Page inspired
I bend the hammer on part. It always sounded like a bend to me. The key to this song is groove.
Pls. Can you make tutorial how to play david gilmour-colours of infinity. This is a good blues
Lesson starts at 5:09, up to that point, a history lesson.
David king lead singer came into never on Sunday's when we were up laying we got interduest andhe rubbed mead I didn't like that but it was probably only meant in a good way I was lead vocalist of Band Character 2 songs went in national airwaves.beat is yet to come , I am willing to do still playing on RUclips and Spotify.
No mention of the Trick or Treat album which i thought was all Fastway ..
It was all Fastway
Cool Video and back story about the song and the band, but just a quick correction about Pete Way’s departure- He didn’t outright leave just to join Ozzy’s band. Chrysalis records wanted to sign Fastway but the band got a far better offer from CBS so they took it …but unbeknownst to Pete his contract with UFO and Chrysalis prohibited him from signing with any other label. So the band moved forward without him and he got a call from Ozzy around the same time. But by all accounts he wasn’t a good fit and didn’t do very well on the Ozzy tour
I'm not sure he even did any touring with Ozzy.
Oh wow, there's a song I haven't heard in ages. Thanks much for this Kelly. Speaking of Led Zeppelin .. remember Zebra from the same era?
My pleasure man! Zebra? Can't say that I have.
@@KellyDeanAllenGuitar Check this out .. ruclips.net/video/Ofz0iJQd-xU/видео.html
Zebra rocks!! One of my favorite bands ... Vocals are out of this world from Randy Jackson
Hey could you do a breakdown on the solo as well
Absolutely a killer riff to bad they crashed me burned …
🤞🤞wish me luck
There was a time when everyone sounded like Michael Shenker.lol
And you WilLL...
At the beginning of the video when you mentioned Dave King being in Fastway I was thinking is he talking about the same Dave King from the Irish punk band Flogging Molly? I had no idea that Dave King was the original singer of Fastway. I feel like Fastway in general is an underrated band. My dad raised me on Motorhead, and Im a drummer who also plays guitar.. and I taught myself how to drum and play guitar playing along to the first 3 Motorhead albums. Then I wanted to know what he did after Motorhead, and thats when I found out about his band, Fastway. Eddie Clarke is one of my favorite guitarists of all time, and imo he is a very underrated guitarist and influenced a lot of guitarists that are in big name bands today, like Metallica. He probably wanted to take Motorhead in a more commercially accessible and sounding musical direction and if Lemmy would've went along with it I bet Motorhead would've eventually sounded like Fastway. Because imo during the mid to late 80s after Clarke left, I wasnt that big of a fan of the music Motorhead put out after their 1983 album Another Perfect Day. I always thought music wise, Fastway was better.
Lemmy couldn't pull off those Fastway styled vocals.
Cool but where is the rest of the song? Like the solo and stuff.
I can tell you with certainty the that the bass is Pete. But could not be credited because of contractual obligations with Ozzy and his record company
The singer sounded to much like Dio
What???
I love the riff to this song. It reminds me of Kill 'Em All-era Metallica. Although I like a lot of '80s rock and metal, I just don't like this singer's voice. It's too dated, too... something.
You're tone deaf
I think he sounded too much like Dave King.
Cool!
