Thursday, September 29, 2011





In 2002 my brother Scott drank a dangerous amount of beer and decided to surf the Internet.  In his travels he found this picture and sent it to me on MSN messenger.  
I asked him, "Who Are These Guys?"
He replied, "I don't know." 


So I asked, "Where did you find the picture?"
He didn't reply. 
He'd passed out.  
When he woke up the next morning he'd forgotten where he'd found the picture.  In my haste, I'd changed the original file name of the picture, making it impossible to search.


Thus began our international manhunt.


1. If you know who these guys are or have any theories, please run to your computer as fast as possible and log onto the Internet and and post an electronic mail message to: whoaretheseguys@gmail.com


2. If you want the Who Are These Guys? Slideshow to visit your town, contact Kyle via the Internet or call the WATG? HOTLINE at: 514-833-3980


It's time to get to the bottom 
of this important mystery.

These guys are for hire. The wanted to be part of the big Irish music wave that spawned the likes of the Irish Rovers http://www.irishrovers.info/ . But they weren't Irish, they were gay, they were trailer park. http://www.trailerparkboys.com/1024/horiz06.jpg So they became Gay Trailer Park Chippendale dancers.

You guys are so funny...! These guys were one of the biggest Mexican groups back in the early 80's called Los Tigeres de Guadalupe. There were originally from Taos, NM in the United States, started making a small name for themselves and later moved to Mexico for the larger following. They eventually started solo groups of their own which were fairly successful... Too bad they're not around anymore, I'm sure they'd LOVE to see themselves as they were waaaaay back when.

I don't know these guys. However I would sure like to shake their hand for a stache well done! One should honour and respect those with the inspiraton, patience, fine motor skills and confidence to produce and maintain these quality upper lips. It takes a real man, with real testosterone to sport this look. Burt, Goose, Fu, Seth, Kyle at homecoming all impress with a mustache. We should find and celebrate these modern day heros. Those who have the courage to challenge the status quo keep the lemmings from the cliff. The time is now. :~()

I agree with Chelsa. These guys look an awful lot like menudo -- the original 70s version of that group. Do a side by side comparison. You can match each member with each of the "guys" in your picture.

-1970's "costumes"
Guess is early to mid 1980's photo because of wire framed glasses, combined with long 1970's hair unless -three in back with possible wigs?
may whant to check with optometrist for glasses model /date
-center pictured "stud" is likely the future groom, older "father on left may have since died of old age (sadly) however the 3 brothers & best man (center blue night coat) are still likely to be alive
T-shirt in back may say "Ready for Action" - English wording - USA or Canada
-Italian community websites would be a good place to post as well as FAXES to every deli in North american large cities
-blue screen background suggests professional photographers screen, may be from a wedding stag party, may want to send out to every registered photographer operating in the 1970's
-"ready for action" guy rear left may have painted on mustache? & "pops" front left may have fake mustache?
-family may be shocked that the "boys" never did go fishing all those long weekends together (just joking)
-If this is a stag photo from the early 80's the wedding was likely quite large with many members of the extended family and community
so a posting on every church bulletin board in Montreal & Toronto & other Canadian capital cities May help obtain leads
-necklases on uncle vido (far right) may be a prop but one may be a skull?
-no "red eye" so light not likely a flash but rather pro photgraphers light (water mark) on back of photo?
-likely from large family with grandchildren who frequent the web so posting on italian youth soccer sites may develope a lead?
- likely still drink heavily so posting at wine making supply stores may produce a lead?
-now elderly so posting at italian seniors lodges may produce a lead within the next 10 years

Nice try. This photo was pretty famous in the early '80, after the big FBI bust in Miami. These guys were the ring leaders of the Cocaine Cowboys. They look like nice guys in this group shot, but they were the most ruthless drug cartel in Miami at the time. This famous photo was shot in better times for these gents as they are all either dead or doing life. All except for Jorge "Rivi" Alaya (center bottom), who was hitman turned witness. Alaya was put into witness protection in '82. Most likely he will have to be moved due to you bringing the photo to the attention of the media again . . .

All of the above would be hanging around in the same TV and music circles in Canada in the late 60s and early seventies and undoubtedly crossed paths more than once.
