Uncle Quagmire, where are all the fans? This is bullshit... are we the only ones who remember SK? Hammerheads, Cheers, Mad Hatter... nobody rocked these dives harder than SK.

We were lucky to experience great live music every night of the week. Glad there are still those around like you who voice their appreciation of bands like SK. All the boys are still rockin', also. Tony is with Enrique Iglesias, John has various projects going on, Richie plays with MUGSY & Ricky plays with Cintron. Look these guys up and check them out if you can. Still awesome. - UQ

Once upon a time... there was a place called "Cheers" (on Long Island, NY)... and from the ashes of this diabolical pit rose a monstrous guitar player named Tony...

Uncle Quagmire -- thank you for keeping this channel going! You are the shit! Swift Kick will never die! I'm a little depressed by the lack of support/fans... I'm not sure I'll ever see a band with this much "Raw Energy" again!!! Rock On Bro...

Is this Swift Kick that used to play in Port Chester at a club called Detroit in the late 70s, the ones who did a GREAT Alice Cooper tribute? He kinda looks like a young Alice Cooper.

@UncleQuagmire I remember seeing them in the mid to late 70's at Speak's, Lamour East, Rockaway's,

they where me and my friends favorite band. Do you also remember Vixen.

Hail Uncle Quagmire, and all things Quagmirish! Thanks for keeping this channel going and reminding us how good Swift Kick was, is, and shall always be!!! With the recent passing of my favorite guitarist, Gary Moore, I had to re-visit this clip to be reminded of how a Strat should be played!!!

Actually the original band members were John, Tony, Richie & Brian (the original bass player)

Uncle Quagmire, what happened to all the other videos... ZZ Top, AC DC covers, etc.??? Why did you pull them???
