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.

Arrows through dolls,
To cause an endless fright
Hate is strong-to healed by sin...

Ready to leave
Ready to leave

Hymns are sung with passion and probity
Voices loud= long live insanity
The enemies are cursed in the name of war
All given the wrath of mighty tor

Ready to leave
The opening lines of the lyrics for TNT's Ready To Leave are cryptic and evoke a sense of danger and possible destruction. The line "All stand clear of the fire in the night" could mean a warning to stay away from a literal fire or it could be more metaphorical, warning people to avoid something that is potentially harmful. The next line "Arrows through dolls, To cause an endless fright" continues this sense of danger and speaks to a type of malicious intent. The use of the word "endless" suggests that the fear that is created is all-consuming and persistent. The final line of the opening stanza "Hate is strong-to healed by sin" is a bit more abstract but could be interpreted as a commentary on how hate can be all-consuming and that it is difficult to overcome or heal from.
The chorus of the song is a repetition of the phrase "Ready to Leave" which suggests that the lyrics are about a desire to escape from something. It could be a literal departure from a physical location or a more metaphorical departure from a situation or emotion. The repetition of the phrase gives it a sense of urgency and emphasizes the feeling of being ready to move on.
The second stanza of the lyrics touches on the power of music to incite strong emotions. The line "Hymns are sung with passion and probity" suggests that music can be used to rally people and inspire them to action. The following line "Voices loud= long live insanity" could be interpreted as a commentary on how fervor and passion can sometimes lead to reckless behavior. The final two lines "The enemies are cursed in the name of war, all given the wrath of mighty tor" implies that the lyrics might be referencing a specific conflict or battle, where enemies are being targeted.
Overall, the lyrics to TNT's Ready To Leave are open to interpretation and seem to be touching on themes of danger, passion, and the desire to escape.
