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.

Are You Blind?
TNT Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Undercover in a dead end town
To save a love from breaking down
The last I heard she was bound for Rio
Alive and kickin' in a black GTO...
Do you really wanna know ?
Don't you wanna let me know what is on your mind ?
Do you really have to go ?
Do you really wanna leave everything behind,

Are you blind !?
A .38 in the lost and found
She disappeared without a sound

Dark eyes and a distant light on
I'll be waiting every road you ride on...

Overall Meaning

The opening lines to TNT's song "Are You Blind?" paints an image of a man on an undercover mission. He's situated in a dead-end town where he's trying to save a love from breaking down. The last he heard, she was heading to Rio and is supposedly prospering, driving a black GTO. The lyrics suggest that he's trying to reach out to her, clueless on her current state of mind. The repeated questioning 'Do you really wanna know?' coupled with 'Don't you wanna let me know what is on your mind?' seems to portray a hesitation or uncertainty as to how she would react to his abrupt intrusion into her life. But there's a sense of urgency in the lyrics too, conveying an importance to the message he has for her. The repetition of the line - "Are you blind?!" stands out, and it could mean she's missing something vital that could make or break the situation.
