FASTWAYS AND MEANS
When I think of Fastway, I immediately think of the Raspberries. It’s not because both Dave King of Fastway and Eric Carmen have red hair; it’s because of Fastway’s desire to get that “one hit record; wanna be an overnight sensation.” (Remember that historic Raspberries tune?)

When I think of Fastway, I immediately think of the Raspberries. It’s not because both Dave King of Fastway and Eric Carmen have red hair; it’s because of Fastway’s desire to get that “one hit record; wanna be an overnight sensation.” (Remember that historic Raspberries tune?) Fastway needs that one hit record. Their self-titled debut and All Fired Up sold respectably—but to Fastway, that’s not enough. They deserve more, too. Half of the band’s namesake (Pete Way left early on in the band’s career to join Ozzy, and later formed Waysted), Fast Eddie Clarke, was the guitarist in Motorhead, for crying out loud (exceedingly loud!). Fastway has been his project since splitting Motorhead a few years ago.
