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.

Had It Lost It Found it
TNT Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now the notes are running free
We had no sense of harmony
We seldom played in key
Words were bad from time to time
We could never get the rhyme
Was it you, or was it me...
Keep on diggin' it!
Keep on playin' it!
Keep on diggin' it!
Had it, lost it, found it
Had it, lost it, found it
Melody, I love your beat
Notes that only we repeat
All composed from bar to bar,
But songs like that, they don't go far...
So this song ends at the start
Melody, you broke my heart
Dissonance, disharmony,
But now I'm back in key...
The song "Had It Lost It Found It" by TNT is about the loss and rediscovery of a musical harmony. The lyrics speak to the struggles of musicianship and the difficulty of maintaining consistent, harmonious sound. The first verse describes the lack of harmony, melody, and rhythm- resulting in 'bad' lyrics. The second verse contains a lament for the loss of what should have been a timeless melody but was lost due to the difficulty of maintaining musical harmony. The chorus of "keep on diggin' it! Keep on playin' it! Had it, lost it, found it" expresses a desire to continue to search for and find the lost harmony.
The final verse of the song is more hopeful. The singer expresses their love for a particular melody and how notes of the melody have been repeated over time in different forms. Despite the harmony being lost, the songwriter vows to not give up and to find it once again. In the end, the singer says "But now I'm back in key..." suggesting that through persistence and effort, they finally rediscovered the lost harmony.
