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.

Ready to Fly
TNT Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you lived your life like a bird in a cage
Couldn't get away
And you're still the only
The only one that you're thinking about
Don't you feel like reaching out
Don't have a single clue
But then I look again
And see all the lives that I want to be in
I think that I've had enough time on the ground
And I'm ready to fly
Been stuck in a bottle of fear and I almost died
Just give me my wings and take all of these things
Cause I'm ready to fly
This world can be a lonely place for you and I
I don't even know you
You're painting a picture that I've never seen
But I remember what has been
But I'm ok with this
The past goodbye I've kissed
I've learned so much from you
Mostly I've learned what not to do
I think that I've had enough time on the ground
And I'm ready to fly
Been stuck in a bottle of fear and I almost died
Just give me my wings and take all of these things
Cause I'm ready to fly
This world can be a lonely place for you and I
Sometimes I'm just like you
Don't have a single clue
But then I look again
And see all the life that I want to be in
I think that I've had enough time on the ground
And I'm ready to fly
Been stuck in a bottle of fear and I almost died
Just give me my wings and take all of these things
Cause I'm ready to fly
This world can be a lonely place for you and I
The lyrics to TNT's song "Ready To Fly" touch upon the freedom and fear that comes with breaking out of one's metaphorical cage and taking flight. The verses describe someone who talks about freedom but has been living life like a bird in a cage, unable to escape. The singer acknowledges that sometimes they too don't know what they want, but then sees all the lives they want to be in. The chorus talks about how they are ready to fly and leave their fears behind, asking for their wings to be given to them so they can soar into a world that can be a lonely place. The bridge describes how they don't know the person they are singing to, but they have learned from the person's past mistakes.
Through the lyrics, the singer seems to be telling the audience that while it can be scary to step out of one's comfort zone, it's necessary in order to experience the vastness of life. Almost dying from fear is not the way they want to live their lives, and they are ready to take the leap and fly. Additionally, they acknowledge the loneliness that can often come with taking risks, but it's a consequence worth facing.
