1) TNT is a hard rock band formed in Trondheim, Norway in 1982, by vocalist and rhythm guitarist Dag Ingebrigtsen , guitarist Ronni Lé Tekrø , bassist Steinar Eikum and drummer Morten "Diesel" Dahl . They released their self-titled debut album the same year — their only album that features Norwegian lyrics — and got a hit with the single "Harley Davidson". In August 1983 Morty Black replaced Steinar Eikum on bass, and the following year American vocalist Tony Harnell became TNT's new frontman, making his debut on their album Knights of the New Thunder with the temporary stage name Tony Hansen. That line-up recorded one more album, Tell No Tales in 1987, before "Diesel" Dahl decided to quit one year later, after some turbulent times within the band. Tell No Tales - as co-written by Dahl - produced TNT's biggest hit, the single "10,000 Lovers (In One)".

Kenneth Odiin became TNT's new drummer, but recorded only one album with the band, Intuition in 1989, before he left. His replacement was John Macaluso, who played on the albums "Realized Fantasies" and "Three Nights in Tokyo" (both released in 1992). The same year they decided to take a break, choosing to focus on various solo projects. In 1996 the compilation "Till Next Time" was released, and Tony Harnell, Ronni Le Tekrø and Morty Black reformed TNT with drummer Frode Hansen. That line-up recorded two albums, Firefly in 1997 and Transistor in 1999.

In 2000 Morten Diesel Dahl came back to TNT, 12 years after he left. The band started working on their new album "My Religion", which was released in 2004. Months after the album release, Morty Black decided to quit, and Sid Ringsby took his place for the following concerts.

TNT's new studio album, All The Way To The Sun was released in the fall of 2005. A single, "Sometimes" was released on July 25th, but was only available in Norway. The same year Victor Borge replaced Sid Ringsby as their live bassist.

Tony Harnell left the band in April 2006 for both personal and professional reasons, although he is collaborating with iMagic Films and producer Darren Paltrowitz on a live DVD featuring his performance with the band in Madrid, Spain from April 1, 2006. The DVD is intended to be released in Japan in August 2006 and elsewhere in the world in September 2006.

TNT are still alive and kickin' - and are proud to introduce the new man behind the mic: Singer Tony Mills from Birmingham, England. Tony Mills is one of Europe's most respected hard rock singers, mostly known for his work with UK Melodic Rock act Shy and his solo artiste releases of recent years. Tony has worked along side such names as Cinderella, Dokken, Cozy Powell, Meatloaf, The Sweet and many more and will add a new and exciting dimension to TNT as the band enter a new era. It is an unbelievable coincidence that Mills' band Shy were already booked to support TNT at the Polar Festival on June 30 in Storsteinnes, Norway before Harnell's departure. This concert for TNT will be fronted by the ex-vocalist Tony Harnell as a farewell show for him.

A Constitution
TNT Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

A firm hold in a new territory
Raise the flag and leave the sign
Gunfire way out in the fields
A touch of death on the borderline
Out west it's a wild bloody country
A barricade on every shore
Riding on, to the storm,
Through the clouds, to the war...

A constitution, a new solution,
To reach for freedom and a new career
A revolution, will seduce ya'
To build a future on a new frontier...
We're looking for a god-fearing hero
Somebody gotta take the fall
A true heartbeats down the defences
Makes a wasteland of every wall
Just 'cause your winning the battle,
Don't mean you're gonna win the war,

Riding on, to the storm,
Through the clouds, to the shore...

Overall Meaning

In TNT's song "A Constitution," the lyrics speak of the beginning of a new place and a new way of life. The first few lines describe the process of claiming a new territory, where a flag is raised to signify the new ownership. However, there is trouble ahead in the form of gunfire at the border, symbolizing the battle for control and power in the new land. The lyrics go on to describe the difficulty of this new, wild, and dangerous region.

Yet, the chorus provides hope for this new territory by promoting the idea of a constitution that would provide a solution to the problems that face it. The constitution represents the change towards freedom and a fresh start, where revolution is needed to build a new future. The lyrics emphasize that a hero is needed to lead this new era and take on the challenges it presents. Despite the obstacles, success can be achieved by having a strong and pure heart that can penetrate through the defenses and break down the walls of the old way of life.

Overall, "A Constitution" speaks to the desire for change, for something new and better. It acknowledges that the journey will be difficult and that there will be battles, but presents the idea that with the right mindset and the right leadership, anything is possible.
