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.

Peter Sellers Blues
TNT Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I bet he'd never seen a panther so pink
Stick to the radio, you're alright Jack,
Think of Sophia Loren and don't look back...
You're cuttin' the scene
No-one could believe
Ustinov could have lived that dream
You remind me of Peter, number # 1 in his time
And you have to admit, he was one of a kind
Just a friend of the family, that don't have a care
(Mr.) Peter Sellers, are you there?
Take your pills and put Britt Ekland on,
Hey big spender, got no mind of your own,
Go powder your pussycat nose
Now that Hollywood's your home, I suppose
A turn of a page
And out with a rage,
James Bond walked right off that stage...
You remind me of Peter, number # 1 in his time
And you have to admit, he was one of a kind
Just a friend of the family, that don't have a care
(Mr.) Peter Sellers, are you there?
There's no way of telling
From ' A Shot In The Dark',
Where your life may be heading
And the broken hearts
But there weren't no stoppin'
'Till it fell apart
Are you lonely ? Oh, Oh, Oh...
You know the minute that you walked in the joint,
Kubrik and Blake cut right to the point
Dr. Strangelove and his nuclear toy,
I guess you've always been a little boy...
You're setting the scene
No-one would believe
Ustinov should have lived that dream...
The lyrics of TNT’s “Peter Sellers Blues” describe the life of Peter Sellers, a famous British actor known for his versatile roles in movies such as the Pink Panther series and Dr. Strangelove. The song references several other notable actors and actresses from Hollywood’s golden age, including David Niven, Sophia Loren, and Britt Ekland. The lyrics suggest that Sellers lived a lavish lifestyle, full of parties and pills, but ultimately ended up being lonely and broken-hearted.
The line “Ustinov could have lived that dream” refers to the idea that Sellers lived a life that could have easily been lived by another famous actor, Peter Ustinov. The chorus repeats the phrase “You remind me of Peter, number # 1 in his time,” emphasizing the fact that Sellers was incredibly successful in his career, but may have struggled with loneliness and a lack of fulfillment in his personal life. The lyrics also reference specific movies and characters that Sellers played, such as James Bond and Dr. Strangelove, showcasing his versatility as an actor.
