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.

Caught Between The Tigers
TNT Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Whisper your name so sweet
Cold lies break from her lips
You don't feel the heat
There ain't no time to settle down
You're living on shakey ground
If that's what love is all about
Somewhere on a distant street
You're caught between the tigers
If you're walkin' on fire don't burn your feet
You're caught between the tigers
Sharp words cut down your spine
They stand in circle strong!
Be still in silent fear
For they'll soon be gone
They disappear before the dawn
Gonna disappear!
C'mon, c'mon
There ain't no people you can trust
This city's been stained with lust
If that's what life is all about
There's only one way out
Somewhere on a distant street
You're caught between the tigers
If you're walkin' on fire don't burn your feet
You're caught between the tigers
(solo)
Somewhere on a distant street
You're caught between the tigers
If you're walkin' on fire don't burn your feet
You're caught between the tigers
The song, "Caught Between The Tigers" by TNT is a depiction of the struggle and challenges that come with being caught in a situation where one has to make a difficult decision. The song speaks about a love triangle, where the person is caught between two tigers, each one pulling in opposite directions. The first stanza introduces the situation perfectly. The person is being pulled in by two women. One with dark and tempting eyes that whisper sweet nothings into their ear, and the other, cold and deceiving with lies. The person is unable to distinguish between the truth and the lies, and can't feel the heat of love.
The second stanza highlights the difficult predicament that the person finds themselves in. They are living on shaky ground and have to make a choice, and fast. There is no time to settle down, and if love is causing this much trouble, then there is only one way out. The pre-chorus is the voice of reason that alerts the person not to get burned while they walk on fire. This line takes a metaphoric approach in explaining the difficult decision-making process that the person is going through. The chorus repeats the metaphor, as it reinforces the message, that they are caught between the tigers.
The third stanza highlights the pain that the person is experiencing. The sharp words cut down their spine, and they are left in silence, unable to speak out of fear. The last line of this stanza explains that the tigers will be gone soon, so the person should be still and wait it out. The fourth stanza continues the theme of not being able to trust anyone, as the city is stained with lust. The person knows that there is only one way out, and it is through making a difficult decision.

Dark eyes come down on you
Her intense gaze is fixated on you
Whisper your name so sweet
She speaks your name softly and tenderly
Cold lies break from her lips
She speaks deceitful words without emotion
You don't feel the heat
Her insincere words don't affect you
There ain't no time to settle down
Life is too unstable to stay in one place
You're living on shaky ground
Your life is uncertain and unsteady
If that's what love is all about
If love is this chaotic and tumultuous
There's only one way out
The only solution is to leave
Somewhere on a distant street
In an unknown location far away
You're caught between the tigers
You're trapped in a dangerous situation with no escape
If you're walking on fire don't burn your feet
Be careful not to get hurt while trying to escape
Sharp words cut down your spine
Her words are harsh and hurtful
They stand in circle strong!
They are united and powerful
Be still in silent fear
Stay quiet and scared
For they'll soon be gone
They will leave eventually
Gonna disappear!
They will vanish from your life
There ain't no people you can trust
No one is reliable or trustworthy
This city's been stained with lust
The city is filled with immoral desires
If that's what life is all about
If life is just filled with corruption
There's only one way out
The only way is to escape

Ronni and TNT were a killer band. I wish he would come and play in the USA. Saw them at The Merrilville Star Theater in Indiana opening for Maiden around '82 or '83 if I remember correctly. Ronni was fuckin' INCREDIBLE!
