Question 880

X joined the band Y as its drummer in 1991. During tours, he took a guitar with him and wrote songs which he held back these songs from the rest of the band. He later said in 1997, "I was in awe of frontman Z's songs, and intimidated. I thought it was best that I keep my songs to myself." After Y disbanded in 1994, X declined many offers he received to work with various artists and instead recorded twelve of the forty songs he had written.

X hoped to keep his anonymity and release the recordings in a limited run under the title W, taken from the WWII term used to refer to UFOs. However, the demo tape circulated in the music industry, creating interest among record labels. X thus formed the band W to support the album.

The term W was used by Allied aircraft pilots in WWII to describe UFOs or mysterious aerial phenomena seen in the skies. Formally reported from November 1944 onwards, witnesses often assumed that W were secret weapons employed by the enemy, but they remained unidentified post-war and were reported by both Allied and Axis forces.

Solve for W, X, Y and Z.
