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

my guess is menudo 30 yrs after the fact
I'm pretty sure it is the group Air Supply after a few years and a lot of rounds of beer!
I think it's the "five guys" named for the Five Guys burger chain.
HMMMM....Dopey, Sneezy, Happy, Doc....and Weird Al?
Are you KIDDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These guys are the fab DO RUNRUNS
Geno - Drums
Randy - Guitar
Gene(Catman) - Bass Guitar
Mickey - Keyboard
Carmine - Vocals etc.(viola,Bagpipes)
Jay(Jay-Jay) - not seen
* Pomo picture for album JUMP,JUMP JUMP
I agree, Menudo.
i say... random guys off the street who almost look like luigi or mario off the mario brothers
What Van Halen look today.
Looks like someone got smacky with Photoshop all over the Hudson Brothers

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.

Italian Spandau Ballet?
Hmm...The one on the right looks kinda like Tom Selleck.
I don't wanna know...
Wait... I s...I... Seem to recall... wearing a strange outfit, dropping some acid andlooking REALLY freaky
about 31 years ago (in 1971...)
We were a band called.
...
oh...shit..
I;m having an LSD loop-back, retro

I know what they are - they're butt ugly.
After the dubious success of DeBarge, these honky copycats were fairly certain they could make it as "DeBoat"
You would not recognize them out of uniform, but, these guys are the "BANANA SPLITS" come-on..someone has to remember their show...while you only saw 3 on the show, one was a stand-in, the other..(on the right, with two watches *hint*) was the time keeper. ttra-la-la.la.la.la.la..one banana-or where there 4 originals?
I think they are either the Baldwin Brothers or the Arquette Family....I'm not too sure????
That popular boy band from the 80's "The Back Door Boys"
one looks like my Dad and my Mum morphed together by a lsd freak coming down from crack
ROWWRRR! They're hawt!
Is the guy in the front Supergreg? Otherwise I'm gonna have to jump on the Menudo bandwagon here.
Screenshot of Menudo, Where Are They Now, VH1, circa 1996.
Convincing enough?:)
I believe them to be my fathers.
Queer Eye for the Straight Guy also rans.
I think there probs a 70s/80s band or sumthin, good luk, cyaz!
I also think they are the Bay City
Rollers.... after rehad. :-)
Hmm.
The More I look at them, the more I'm sure I've seen them ALL in movies before. I just don't know which.
The guy on the bottom left looks like Bob Carolgees a bit.
And the one in the middle at the front looks like a guy who was in Eastenders years ago.
But these are both probably wrong!
Although I am convinved these guys are British.
I reckon you should focus on that... in your quest!
UHHH!!!
What are we talkin about again??
Four of these guys are original mousekateers. The middle back is Goofy after liposuction.
My wife thinks they are the "Flying Burrito Brothers". I keep telling her they are my five aunts from my mother's side.
Kyle, you came to my school and showed the picture and I thought they were Monty Python, but I was wrong!
Apparently this picture was found while "hanging 10". Thought that may be helpful.
Kiss without the Make-Up
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.

so blindingly 90s slash 80s...
Hey, that's me! Where'd you get this picture?
I'm calling the police. Maybe they can help.
The guy in the front middle looks the guy fron TSN Gabriele ? who comments on the best bets.He always has his hat turned around backwards
I think the guy in the front is from TSN Gabriele who comments on all the fantasy teams
HI KYLE,
JUST WATCHED YOUR STORY ON IRELAND AM AMAZING!! WELL DONE. MUCH HAPPINESS TO YOU AND YOUR GIRLFRIEND IN YOUR SWOPPED HOME.
THE PHOTO OF THE GUYS, YOU SHOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM GETTING SOME LEADS AS IT IS PRETTY UNIQUE.
GOOD LUCK ON YOUR QUEST.
KEEP US POSTED
LOVE AND LIGHT

Please stop insulting the Bay City Rollers!! If they were the BCR's then where is Derek? My love, my blonde drummer boy? I had a pet stick named "derek". I couldn't afford a pet rock. I was their biggest fan when I was in 5th Grade. BCR ROCK!!
It's the doo run run
http://www.papadoo.com/
I'd say the guy in the middle is André Ducharme from Rock et Belles Oreilles and the one in the upper left corner, Guy A. Lepage...
Y'en a un qui est sûrement l'ancêtre d'Elvis Gratton.........et les autres doivent être ses cousins!!!
Faites-moi signe quand vous le saurez... ;~)
La personne en haut à gauche ressemble étrangement à Bruno blanchet ( La fin du monde est à 7 heure)
the Beatles ?
the Beatles ?
they all are dead....HIV.....
They are the ultimate boy band from the 80's: New Kids on the Block
Just look at the striking resemblance:
http://www.vinyltap.co.uk/gallery/ne/newkiibly6076638792733060.jpg
The guy on the bottom is Vin Diesel. He was a successful breakdancer around this time. You can find his videos on YouTube.
The guy on the right looks more like Burt Reynolds than Tom Selec.
http://burtreynolds.com/
OMG, I saw the guys in the paper today. I hope somebody contacts them soon and they can start touring again LOL.
I swear I saw the guy on the bottom left in Vancouver yesterday... less 80's up but he still has the moustache. Sorry, I was a little to star struck to approach him.
Since the guy in the back looks like a young Danny Bonaduce, could be:
Danny Bonaduce And The Soul Explosion
dubbed as a 'fake' Houston college band from the 80's... even though I doubt he went to college... but it's worth the thought
They are the Five Flamers. They were big back in the eighty's, but I think the AIDs got them.
Obviously you guys don't remember that episode of Smokey and the Bandit where
Bo "Bandit" Darville, played by Burt Reynolds in the upper right corner
and Monty Python's Terry Jones,
dressed up as KC and the Sunshine band to hide from Sheriff Buford T. Justice.
Bandit's Basset Hound Fred not
shown in photo.
http://www.professorjohnhiggins.com/images/BurtReynolds.jpg
I believe the guy in the middle in the back is Dave "KILLER" Carlson from the movie Slap Shot.
Scroll down to Jerry Houser, 4th from the top.
http://slapshot.20m.com/cast/cast.htm
The bands name is "The Mississippi Fairy boat" They had a minor hit in 82' that made the charts in Germany with a song called "Wet dog and bologna". I don't think they are still together any more.
i do belive they are from my dads aa group.oh wait maybe i saw them on "to catch a predator"!!
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.
Can't say for sure, but that fellow on the far right looks uncomfortably like Alex Trebek, pre-Stars On Ice.
kiss ,the band without makeup as they look today?
I think it is Blue Oyster Colt, a Foghat tribute band.
They're the '118 118' rejects obviously.
Either that or the Parallel Universe' version of The Rolling Stones.
OooooH I say......
Pete.
The front headband guy looks a lot like Jack Bishop from America's Test Kitchen.
this is Jackson 5 after they all followed michael's footsteps...
This is definitely Bay City Rollers as someone mentions. Just see the similarity: http://skin.bebo.com/Profile.jsp?MemberId=4443349274
É o TRIO ODEMIRA?

zThey were an "Art" rock group from around '81. They were known in this universe as Schlocky Dennise. The signatue concert feature was a tripple keytar solo which lasted an average of one hour per show. Amazing.

-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

Ask the Amazing Keskin for his thoughts on this one. Kreskin is an amazing genius who would have been capable of finding the WMD's in Iraq (had there been any).
this is a stretch...but the guy on the far right resembles Alex Trebek...seriously! LOL (http://blogs.mcall.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/02/19/trebek2.jpg)
Looks like it could be the group that played on the soundtrack for Nocho Libra. Spelling? The groups name should be Mr. Loco. They are from Mexico.
Just a shot in the dark
The Flamming Doo Doo Ballz?
They must be a "never made it" band from the 70's. Those clothes! Good Luck!!! Can't wait to hear about it.
The guy on the far right looks like bury renolds :]
Holy shit! Someone got together all my ex boyfriends and took a group photo!
from my experience with him, Phil Olsen has to be involved in this photo somehow. If not, he knows something.

I've found....these guys are the band "Who Are These Guys"
A Rock & Roll Band playing new music with that classic rock sound. Influences include Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Creedence, The Dead,The Allmans Bros & The Band, among others.
Ask the F.B.I. or C.I.A.
Oh no, bad idea. They still haven't found Osama.
It's the Village People Fan Club !!!
That's The Osmond Brothers after Tchernobyl. I'm sure !!!
Sorry for my bad English but i'm French and i drink a lot of wine.

Great picture!
This is a Mexican band from the 80s called Señalados. Apparently they had a huge hit called "Me pertaneces" which translates into "I Belong". From the band's picture - I'm not sure where they'd belong???
You can find another picture of the band and the lyrics to Me pertaneces here:
http://consultas80y90.wordpress.com/2007/06/04/consultas-por-foto/
The next question is - whatever hapenned to Señalados?
G W Bush Poutine Sarkozy Hu Jintao Gordon Brown
One of them is my biological father I'm just not sure which one.
they're nice and funny men,but i don't know who they are.peace.calbo
The one to the far left looks like the guy who played on Smokey and the Bandit as the Bandit...
oh my god oh my god you are my idol you are so bad my idol! you traded a red paper clip for a house omg omg omg ur my idol! holy... you are the ultimate guy. that was the best idea ever and if I knew who those guys were I would tell you. I saw you on the news show, "news to me", as many others probably did, and you are my idol. you would actually trade the house you got for a red paperclip, for knowing who those guys were... you own omg ur my idol
How can you miss this, dude!?!
THESE ARE "THE JACKSON 5", DISGUISED!!!
I'm sorry I don't know but I tried researching the DO RUNRUNS (posted by anonymous) and nothing came up but that does sound reasonable, the only thing is most album covors have names on them.
the village people!
The village people!
YMCA!
I tried reasearching the DO RUNRUNS (what anonymous said), but nothing came up. The only problem with that being an album cover would be that usually they have words on them.
they look like a type of band from the 70's, or actors from the show in the 70's. (^0^)/
Not sure about all of them, but the guy in the middle/back is the MAD Magazine dude, Alfred E. Newman. Possibly a publicity photo of the writing staff of the magazine.
I'm pretty sure that, whoever they are, the name of their act includes the word, "Greasy."
OK, my wife and I saw this website on "news to me" and so we thought that it would be a good idea to check this site.
I dont know, that one guy in the middle looks like a gay version of ronnie james dio!
that cant be the bay city rollers, cuz they were big in the 70's, and those guys look like theyre from the 70's, but theyre a lot older than BCR. catch my drift?
they dont even look like them. lmao.
BopADips?
good luck im just trying to help and i can't wait to find out
it used to be from a 70's show in ABC. It came out Saturdays at 11.
Israeli disco group from the 70's called 'Dressed For Action'
i have no idea :[[
good luck finding out:]
this is the most random yet hilarious idea, smoke much?
I just saw you on CNN ... good luck with your search. Post who they are when you find out. Also amazing thing with the paper-clip.
omg thats my uncle!! where did you get this picture!?!?!
'Papa Doo Run Run' is the band in the photo.
Hit single, 'Be true to you school'.
The guy on the left looks like this actor:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Cross
Who Cares?
These are impersonators or members of the Brady Bunch - Greg(front center), Peter(behind Greg), Cindy (back left in red), Jan or Bobby in front of her. Possibly Denny Terrio on the far right in blue shirt. It looks like a disco/aerobic spoof.

The guy in the mid-back looks a bit Brittish, the guy in the hat is definitely my friend's dad, dude on the right is oddly familiar (minus the two watches and three necklaces)
baba booey
maybe the beatles ???
I am watching you on Headline NEws right now! Good luck in your search.
That's the original line-up from the Uncle Floyd show! What do I win??
I'd have to guess the guy on the right is BURT REYNOLDS, and a couple of the others are familiar also, which leads me to think it's some shot from a movie from the late 70's or early 80's...
they are the remaining members of the Dharma Initiative...namaste
they look look like a merimba band early eighties or the fantasy island house band if they made a album id like to hear it
I would like to help you search for who these guys are. I searched for 1980 italian / mexican pop bands / music groups, I looked for a few hours. I saw this air on I-news or whatever, Do you have the original email ? Did you try contacting the first address in the email ? Google the original file name of the picture in the email. Does the email give any hints to who these guys are or what they do, any clues? Could be a 1980's italian tv comedy group. Let me know something.

The guy in the middle, top row looks like the guy that is on the covers of Mad magazine long ago. Check it out http://www.dccomics.com/mad/
I'm not sure if these guys are American. They might be from Australia or New Zealand or perhaps Canada. There definatly a band or group of some type.
Damnit dude find out who the f these guys are cause they look like a ton of fun. haha
Well, the guy with the two watches looks really familiar to me...hmmm...now you have me goin'...
The link to the email won't work. I want to post this photo on my sites, and I too, will be looking to find out who they are...
its my fatness
Hey, it's my family portrait! There are no women in my family, obviously...
the top middle one looks like Zac Efron!
Not sure of their names, but I am positive that this is the group of guys who revitalized gay porn out of a Bronx apartment in the early 80's. Could have sworn I saw the special on LOGO.
those are those crazy 80's adult film starz they played in those wierd backstage band scenes
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 . . .
I forgot to post the mugshots with my last comment. could only find 2 of them online. located here: http://showbc.com/content/mugs
I've had an archie comic from the 1980's in my bathroom for the last 6 mos. I swear these dudes were in an ad on the inside back cover.(a younger version) Upon reading this paper-clip article and who are these guys thing i ran to my bathroom to see if its still there but alas i guess it got tossed in the garbage recently. I believe the ad said they were the mundo or mendicino bros, a mexican pop band, or i automatically think of wrestlers too, not sure but maybe this will get you looking in direction you may not have thought about:P
Good Luck with the search and thanks for the interesting read!
those are my co-worker's uncles!
Sooooo fashion!!!!
Dude on the right looks like Alan Thicke.
Jay Leno, John Travolta, Burt Reynolds, unknown polka dots??, and Frankenstein from the Munster show on bottom right..right?

Johnny'paper clips" malone
The guy on the right absolutely has to be Alex Trebek...
Alex can be linked to a TV producer Sidney M. Cohen who has to be the little guy up front.
www.sidneycohen.com
The guy in the middle back could well be Bill Hendersen from Chilliwack
http://www.gonegonegone.com/
And to make the fantasy complete I don’t know which one, but one of the two on the left could certainly be Burton Cummings.
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.
Do you have the original email of forwarded pic?? Because if you do, please post the original file name of the pic, or google search the original filename and you will get web sites that originally use that pic, and perhaps more info about them. ;)
I think that one guy was in Atlantic City negotiating with a 'watch salesman' in front of Harrah's in 1983 - and got both watches for a steal! They were the lounge act...
They were called the San Diego Globe Trotters. I'm not sure about the rest, but the guy on the right is Pierce Brosnan's cousin, Jay Brosnan.
They were a traveling basketball team, but none of them could dunk, so they didn't attract much of a crowd.
