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.

Angels Ride
TNT Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't you believe in where you're going
You act like you're afraid of knowing
They washed your brain in filthy water
And you drank it down, in the fear you drowned
And it looks like you're never gonna sleep

Don't like these caravans you follow
Your own hypocrisy you swallow

What kind of god would make you question love?
And your guilt is a sin
They don't know where you've been
And you're dying all the time

Angels ride on the darkest side of your soul
Angels ride on the darkest side of your soul

Ah you know how they ride

Think your love has turned to hate
Think your love might've turned to hate

[Solo]

Angels ride on the darkest side of your soul
Angels ride on the darkest side of your soul

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of TNT's song "Angels Ride" speak to the idea of the corruption of belief systems and the hypocrisy that often accompanies it. The lines "Don't you believe in where you're going / You act like you're afraid of knowing" suggest that blind faith is dangerous, and that too often people follow beliefs without examining them critically. The next line, "They washed your brain in filthy water / And you drank it down, in the fear you drowned" implies that these beliefs have been forced upon people, and that they are detrimental rather than beneficial. The refrain, "Angels ride on the darkest side of your soul" speaks to the idea that even when someone is lost or misguided, there is still hope for redemption.

The second verse continues the theme of hypocrisy, with the lines "Don't like these caravans you follow / Your own hypocrisy you swallow". Here, the singer is calling attention to the dissonance between what people claim to believe and how they act in reality. The line "What kind of god would make you question love?" suggests that religion can be used to justify hate, which is antithetical to its supposed purpose. The final lines "And you're dying all the time / Think your love has turned to hate" reflect the toll that this hypocrisy takes on a person, as they begin to lose themselves and their values.

Line by Line Meaning

Don't you believe in where you're going
Do you lack faith in your destination?

You act like you're afraid of knowing
Are you hesitant to learn the truth?

They washed your brain in filthy water
Was your mind manipulated with impure thoughts?

And you drank it down, in the fear you drowned
Did you accept those thoughts out of fear?

And it looks like you're never gonna sleep
Do you suffer from insomnia due to your worries?

Don't like these caravans you follow
Do you despise the groups you associate yourself with?

Your own hypocrisy you swallow
Do you accept your own contradictions?

What kind of god would make you question love?
Why would a deity cause you to doubt love?

And your guilt is a sin
Is your sense of guilt sinful in nature?

They don't know where you've been
Do others lack an understanding of your past experiences?

And you're dying all the time
Are you slowly losing vitality and energy?
