Biography
1. 80s and early 90s Hard Rock band.
2. Eurobeat vocalist, Ennio Zanini
1) Fastway was a hard rock band formed by guitarist “Fast” Eddie Clarke formerly of Motörhead, and bassist Pete Way formerly of UFO. In 1983 both players had been disgruntled with their own bands and decided to work together in a new outfit. They recruited drummer Jerry Shirley formerly of Humble Pie, and vocalist Dave King and took their name from a combination of the founder-members’ names. However, Way then discovered that he could not escape from his contract with Chrysalis Records and also received a tempting offer to play for Ozzy Osbourne, and abandoned the project, forcing Clarke to steer it alone. Bringing in session bassist Mick Feat, the band then recorded debut album FASTWAY.
A critical and moderate commercial success, with successful touring to promote it (with Alfie Angus on bass), the band then recruited Charlie McCracken as “permanent” bassist and released ALL FIRED UP in the following year. Shirley and McCracken subsequently left and there was a hiatus. In 1986 Clarke then reformed the band, retaining King and recruiting with Shane Carroll (2nd guitar), Paul Reid (bass) and Alan Connor (drums) and this lineup released WAITING FOR THE ROAR.

I like that PahaLukki's comment is offset largely by the fact that for the heavy metal band being unheard of, they've got three paragraphs in the bio compared to the lone line for the Eurobeat singer. If the latter's fans are that passionate, certainly they can take the time out of their busy schedule of hating on the metal band to add more info on the artist they do care about.
