Waysted were a British hard rock band, formed by former UFO bassist Pete Way and Scottish rocker Fin Muir (Ian Muir) in 1982. Recruiting Frank Noon (formerly with Def Leppard), Ronnie Kayfield and Paul Raymond, Waysted signed to Chrysalis Records and released Vices in 1983.
The band went through multiple line up changes over the years, with members leaving, rejoining and leaving again, as well as periods of complete dormancy while Way pursued other projects.
In 2008, Waysted toured the UK in support of their then new album The Harsh Reality. However, they did not release any further new material after that time.
Way died on 14 August 2020 from injuries sustained in an accident.
