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, MOT?-RHEAD 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.
