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.

Eventyr
TNT Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Du må passe deg for hunder som er ute etter bein
Best å holde seg unna , gå alene.....
Bort fra siklende hunder på jakt etter bein.....
Verst om natten . Nå beinene kryr
Som kåte katter - i sitt eventyr
(harde fakta - ville elskovsdyr).
Ha aldri døra på gløtt , ikke slipp dem inn i ditt hus
Selv om de ber så søtt kan de gi deg lus.....
Hundene slikker så bløtt , som kattepus.....
Gi dem aldri noe mat , ikke engang et bein
Da blir de fete og late , vil ikke vaske seg rene.....
For de er bare hunder på jakt etter bein.....
The lyrics to TNT's song "Eventyr" are a cautionary tale about the dangers of allowing oneself to be vulnerable to those who are only seeking personal gain. The opening lines warn of the hounds who are out to get what is essential and it is best to keep away and go alone to avoid them. The chorus uses a metaphorical comparison between the dogs hunting for bones and the desire of humans for physical pleasure. The lyrics explain how love can be fleeting and that it is crucial to be careful when getting involved with others, as they may have ulterior motives.
The second verse goes on to advise listeners to never let their guard down because those who appear to be friendly and harmless may still have hidden intentions. This is where the metaphor of the dogs licking like cats appears to signify that even those who seem to have nothing to gain may still be after something. Furthermore, the suggestion of not giving in to temptation by feeding hungry dogs could be seen as a parallel to avoiding those who try to manipulate one's vulnerability. All in all, the lyrics of "Eventyr" serve as a warning sign that one should think twice before getting involved with others.
