Waysted are a heavy metal band formed by UFO bassist Pete Way and Scottish rocker Fin Muir (Ian More) in 1983. Recruiting Frank Noon (formerly with Def Leppard), Ronnie Kayfield and Paul Raymond, Waysted signed to Chrysalis Records and released Vices in 1983.

The band has gone through multiple lineup changes over the years, with members leaving, rejoining and leaving again, as well as periods of complete dormancy while Way pursued other projects.

As of 2008, Waysted are back on the road and touring the UK in support of their new album The Harsh Reality.
