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.

Just Like God
TNT Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got no life here so
I need to be pacified
One more face, one last show
Wasting brain cells
I'm just waiting for the time to go
Hypnotize, hypnotize me
When the nights are long
All the lonely people
Sing your happy songs
Zone me out, bleed me dry
Drug my senses till I'm
Cold a little dead inside
Just like god you've become
All consuming bring the world
Into every home
Hypnotize, hypnotize me
Everybody loves you
When the nights are long
All the lonely people
Sing your happy songs
Hypnotize, hypnotize me
Everybody loves you when
When the nights are long
All the lonely people
Sing your happy songs
The lyrics to TNT's song Just Like God speak to the addictive and all-encompassing nature of fame and the media. The song's protagonist is looking for escape from their mundane existence, hoping to be "pacified" by the constant stimulation and entertainment offered by the media. They describe being put into a trance-like state, hypnotized by this overpowering force. The lyrics suggest that this addiction is not exclusive to the singer, but also extends to the wider population, who love and consume this media when they feel lonely, especially when the nights are long. The song is a commentary on the nature of fame and media, and the ways in which it can become a god-like figure, controlling and consuming those who participate in it.
The lyrics also suggest a sense of disconnection and loss of self that often comes with this addiction. The singer describes being "cold a little dead inside," showing how their constant exposure to the media has led to a numbness towards the world outside of it. They also argue that the media, particularly television, has the power to bring the world into every home, suggesting the ways in which our understanding of reality can be shaped and controlled by what we consume. The song is a warning of the dangers of unchecked media consumption and the ways in which it can shape our lives and identities.
