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

[Music: Dag Ingebrigtsen, Lyrics: Dag Ingebrigtsen & Gustav Alfheim]

Sto foran et valg da jeg var 16 år
Mellom motorsykkel og rock'n roll
Satset på rock - jeg var lenge i tvil
Men nå er jeg lei av å kjøre bil

Hver gang jeg ser en harley

Starter hjertet mitt å slå
Det går for meg , jeg blir farlig
Og da vet jeg at jeg må ha meg en.....

Harley Davidson..

'Cruiser' på highway'n i hundreogti
Driter i radar og politi

Jeg må ha en chopper - det er ingen tvil
Jeg kjøper meg en , så selger jeg min bil

Overall Meaning

The song "Harley Davidson" by TNT is a tribute to the Harley Davidson motorcycle, and the rebellious spirit and freedom that it represents, especially for those who love rock and roll. The singer of the song was faced with a choice when he was 16 years old, between a motorcycle or a career in rock and roll, and he chose the latter. However, as he grew older, he became bored with driving a car, and every time he saw a Harley Davidson, his heart started beating faster, and he knew he had to have one.

The song captures the excitement and danger of riding a motorcycle, especially a Harley Davidson, on the highway, disregarding speed limits and police. The singer declares that he must have a chopper, without a doubt, and he will sell his car to get it. The song ends with the repeated refrain of the title, "Harley Davidson", as if it is a mantra or a symbol of a way of life that he is determined to pursue.

Overall, "Harley Davidson" is a classic rock anthem that celebrates the spirit of freedom, rebellion, and individualism that the motorcycle and rock and roll represent. It is a song that taps into the fantasies of many young people, especially men, who dream of riding a powerful machine on the open road and feeling alive and fearless.
