| Still remember the first time I heard Easy Living on DC 101 in Washington, DC in the early '80s. I new rock had changed for the better. Then saw Fastway for the first time with Coney Hatch and Iron Maiden. They actually stole the show. This album will move you from beginning to end. Wore out one album, then one cassette and had another cassette stolen. Now have two copies on cd just in case. Dave King was amazing (come out of hiding in Hollyweird) as is Fast Eddie. A must for real rockers.

| If someone was starting a 80's hard rock collection and asked my advice, besides the obvious choices, I'd absolutely recommend this one to get. These guys do an excellent job of uniting that old school Zeppelin-like 70's sound with the beginings of that 80's melodic, riffs galore, hooks-a-plenty sound. Even at such a young age for me I remember hearing Dave King's voice and thinking "Shit now THAT'S how it's done!!!". Guitarists in 2002 would KILL to write a riff like "Say What You Will".

| I still think TRICK OR TREAT from FASTWAY is their best album, but i like the other ones too. I was happy when he left MOTORHEAD to form his own band. FASTWAY killsssss.

| say what you will is one of the best rock songs from the 80's bar none! dave king was a huge talent and eddie clarke played his ass off on this one!! also this was produced by eddie kramer who did hendrix,kiss,etc. the production is great and i blow up car stereo's with this one still to this day!!!!!!!!!!!

| Definitely one of the finer 80's rock bands. The people came about brilliantly at a sweet point of the rock/metal movement. Those who lived near Detroit might remember that it coincided with WRIF's (Rock Radio Station) famous "Disco Sucks" bumper stickers. Definitely nostalgia music for the long haired, jersey and jeans crowd.

| Dave King "come out of hiding in Hollywierd?" Dave King has been jamming in FLOGGING MOLLY since '97! They combine traditional Irish music with hard punk rock. They are a huge sucess in the punk rock scene. One of the headliners on the Warped tour in 2004! Alternativ Press magazine just listed Flogging Molly as one of the top 30 most anticipated punk releases of 2004. Dave still has the vocal chops too, although they are used a little more sparingly in FM. If you have an open mind, and aren't ju

| This is a rockin album. The song "Say You Will" should still get radio air time but does not. Can't go wrong if you wre into the early 80's hard rock/metal scene.

| Great album but is not the best you get from Fastway. Trick or Treat is their real masterpiece, an album that sums up all the 80īs spirit! The last albums (On Target and Bad Bad Girls) are a joke. Dave King is not there and the band changed its style. But from their debut album, Say What You Will and Heft are incredable songs. Fastway prepared all the way for the 80īs hair metal bands. They are the beginning, and, certainly, still one of the best metal bands of all time.

| Hmm...the band was founded by Pete Way from UFO and Fast Eddie...Hence the Name FASTWAY...and no mention of Pete anywhere on the creits on this site....Not sure what is up with it...something against ole pete???

| The fact that pete Way left the band before recording this album probably has somthing to do with the lack of credit

| Great hard rock album. Zeppelin via Motorhead without the silly hairband attitude. Drums rock throughout with ex Humble Pie drummer pounding the skins. Basic riffs but done the right way. Love this stuff!

| I just got the version with Fastway and All Fired Up on one disc. Pretty good stuff. Only drawback is Dave King's sometimes annoyingly nasal, whiny voice. I can hear where Tora Tora got a lot of their ideas from with Fastway though. The Fizz Picks: "Easy LIvin," "Say What You Will," "Give It Some Action," "All Fired Up," "Station," "Telephone," "Nonstop Love."

| If you wanna rock, this IS one of the cd's you want to get with Fastway. And Trick or Treat, that whole album is nothing but heavy tracks!! Dave King is now with a band called "Flogging Molly." It's a punk band, Not as good as Fastway.

| Fastway remind of bands like MSG. On one hand you have the original fans who love this CD and era of the band and hate that they sold out later in the 80's, whilst there are others like me who hate this stuff and quite enjoy when they went more commercial later in the 80's. All I hear here is an awful voice, absolutely crap, boring and forgettable hard rock songs and no redeeming features. That's my opinion, nothing more nothing less.

| Hey Geoff, sorry that you feel that way. I thought this was an explosive debut, and Dave King's vocals were very effective. If you haven't already, check out their soundtrack record to 'Trick or Treat.' IMO that was Fastway at the top of their game. More commerical than the S/T or All Fired Up, but just killer hard rock from start to finish.

| David King became a better singer with their third album "Waiting for the Roar" and of course can be a better singer singing melodic songs rather than this bluesy rock'n'roll.Anyway the album is raw rock'n'roll with no major pretentions.6/10

| Has that late 70's , early 80's rock feel. Not especially melodic...not super heavy either.

Date: March 30, 2011 at 14:14 |
| Adding a more specified comment,this definitely is an edgy rocking debut...pure rock with some kind of vintage feel so i agree with wzcj02...Dave King as i said,got better as a singer after this album(he reminds me of Vince Neil of Motley Crue at times and even Robert Plant in the bluesy song "Far Far From Home")..."Say What You Will" is the best track and the "hit" of this album...another goodies are "Easy Livin'","All I Need Is Your Love","Give It All You Got" & "Give It Some Action"...interesting indeed!!!.86/100

| I too have the version with this and the follow-up on one CD, which is cool in itself. This is great, stripped-down Englishmen-playing-the-blues style rock 'n' roll (or Irishmen in Dave King's case).In a weird way, this reminds me of what Zeppelin might sound like if every song was as stripped-down and raw as "ROck 'n' ROll" or "Houses Of The Holy," from the style of the music down to the production. Plenty of romping and stomping all around, including "Easy Livin'," "Feel Me, Touch Me" "Give It All You Got," the shapeshifting "We Become One," and of course, "Say What You Will."
