From Rockdetector.com A renowned force on the New York club scene TT QUICK impressed many and soon built up a sizable cult following. Guitarist David Dipietro’s skills were especially singled out, as a guitar tutor the man had taught both ZAKK WYLDE of the OZZY OSBOURNE band and SKID ROW’s Dave Sabo. The opening ‘TT Quick’ mini album featured a rendition of JOHN FOGERTY's 'Fortunate Son', As drummer Glen Evans joined NUCLEAR ASSAULT former HELLCATS man Erik Ferro replaced him for the 'Metal Of Honor' album, which surprisingly included a cover of the DAVE CLARK FIVE's 'Glad All Over'. Internationally, TT QUICK peaked with the crunching ‘Metal of Honor’, the album landing many commendable reviews, wide ranging media coverage and healthy sales. Touring saw TT QUICK opening for such major acts as ACCEPT, METALLICA, MEGADETH, MOTÖRHEAD and IRON MAIDEN. The band hit a major stumbling block when Ferro was forced out due to family illness. Unable to replace their drummer TT QUICK disbanded. Dipietro also later joined NUCLEAR ASSAULT. TT QUICK would reform with the original line up sporadically over the intervening years, these reunions resulting in the 1989 ‘Sloppy Seconds’ album and the live ‘Thrown Together Live’ opus recorded in 1990. The band, retaining the classic line up, reformed on a permanent basis in 2000 for the tattoo themed ‘Ink’ album. At one stage TT QUICK included drummer Tom Capobianco, a veteran of IGNEOUS ROCK and active with BLACK SABBATH covers band SABBRA CADABRA.
