1) TNT is a hard rock band… Read Full Bio ↴There are at least 11 artists called TNT.
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.

TNT Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seemed like everything was right
Yeah I wrapped your love around me
Put my head down in your hands
But I never saw the lights
Well, I stood beside insanity
She looked at me and smiled
And I held on for a while"
A faded picture, black and white
A silhouetted memory gone by
The meter's running, you can't save time
Easy Street has no parking signs
Easy Street has no parking signs
Faster than a laser beam
She came to me, a song in my dreams
Better keep my motor running so I'll never miss a beat
Down on easy Street
So I'm cruising through this fairy tale
Or was it just the wine
Still I know I'm just a kiss away
There's nothing more to say
Cause she's heard all the lines - twice
A faded picture, black and white
A silhouetted memory gone by
The meter's running, you can't save time
Easy Street has no parking signs
Easy Street has no parking signs
I'd fly across the stars for you
Do it all for you babe
I'm still here after all that we've been through
I've lost the dice, I've paid my dues
Do it all for your love
For one last time you know I'd bleed again for you
A faded picture, black and white
A silhouetted memory gone by
The meter's running, you can't save time
Easy Street has no parking signs
A faded picture, black and white
A silhouetted memory gone by
The meter's running, you can't save time
Easy Street has no parking signs
Easy Street has no parking signs
The lyrics of "Easy Street" by TNT describes a journey filled with wonders and blunders that depicts the character’s exploration of life through different experiences. The song uses metaphors to convey the message that life is a journey filled with different paths, some of which lead to success while others lead to failure. The opening lines, "Well I'm dancing through my fantasy, seemed like everything was right," signify the character’s joy and happiness at the beginning of the journey. The line, "Yeah I wrapped your love around me, put my head down in your hands," suggests that the character is in a relationship and feeling content.
However, as the song progresses, the character encounters obstacles and distractions, as shown in the lines "A faded picture, black, and white, a silhouette memory gone by." The phrase "Easy Street has no parking signs" implies that the journey is not an easy one and requires constant movement. The character realizes that some of the roads are filled with uncertainties, as indicated in the lyrics, "The meter's running, you can't save time." The character is determined to keep going despite the challenges and the lines, "Faster than a laser beam, She came to me, a song in my dreams, better keep my motor running so I'll never miss a beat" highlight this.
The song is beautifully crafted and conveys a powerful message about life’s journey. It encourages listeners to keep pushing and never lose faith in their abilities. It also teaches that despite obstacles, we should keep moving, giving life our best shot.

Right after INTUITION you'd think no way the next album could be as good as that masterpiece, but they did it again with REALIZED FANTASIES! Tony Harnell has a beautiful voice maybe THE MOST BEAUTIFUL VOICE and the same goes for Ronni's very sweet guitars. Morty Black? Genius one of the best ever. This is the European romantic sound that I love. Perfection.
Alejandro Harnell
Another killer album by TNT. More raw but in a good way. The guitars sound awesome
Heavy Metal Hippie
Realized Fanatasies was a major disappointment for me. It took me years to appreciate its dry sound. It has great songs like this, Downhill Racer, Rock'n Roll Away and All You Need, but I think the material on Intuition and Tell No Tales is much stronger and more memorable.

I have loved TNT since I was like 12 or so and for some reason haven't listened to them for like 20 years until recently (43 now). This is fantastic music I don't know what else to say about it. It's subjective I know. It makes me wonder how much amazing music is really out there that never got popularized. This song in particular absolutely reminded me instantly of Queen, which I don't think I made that connection 20 years ago but I'm glad I do now. What a freaking awesome band TNT has been. I get SO sick of people (especially younger generations) categorizing 80's metal as "hair metal" or "glam rock". Then they always list the same bands to define what 80's metal was: Poison, Bon Jovi, Scorpions, Aerosmith, AC/DC. Ugh give me a break already. Now no disrespect to any of those bands because they all have had very impressive resumes for sure. But those bands don't represent what I and so many others experienced as the soundtracks for our individual lives through those years. There was definitely "cheesy" 80's music now that we have had decades to refine our tastes but there was undoubtedly incredible music created at that time not to mention what some bands (like TNT) borne from that golden age had done years later musically. Good music doesn't have an age. TNT embodied a great part of my youth as well as my influence in learning guitar. I tip my hat to its memebers. Love you guys TNT.
Alejandro Harnell
Great comment just feeling the same way, Hate the Hair Metal term! Great music from too many different bands. Love my rock school!!
Scott Brouse
Most underrated album of all the metal bands
Benjamin Blake Mitchner
My God does this sound like classic Queen! Wonderful song with beautiful guitars and vocals from Mr. Super Singer Tony Harnell although no one can top my fave singer Glen Hughes although some of the more recent stuff Black Country Communion I think goes a bit too far. Let's put them as equally great, but Freddie Mercury is the best. What a horribly sad loss I cried my eyes out when he died.

Fuck off.

Tony is just a vocal gift from god
