Pete Way's Thunderbird headstock was rightfully feared on the UFO - never a band to avoid physical confrontation - live stage by all his fellow musicians. When asked whether he and Pete got along, lead vocalist Phil Mogg would at interviews silently part his hair to show his many stitches and add "it comes with the job".

From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

I watched Ricky Warwick's tech do that gag with Thin Lizzy and completely lunch it. he even put special white gloves on in preparation, then completely failed to check the momentum and the butt of the guitar slammed into his tuning table and knocked all his shit on the floor. big dink in the guitar too.

We all laughed like drains tho cos the guy had been a real dick to us locals on the load in
