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.

TNT Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For the moment
We live day by day
No more hunters
Out of season
They won't have their way
It's only your life my friends
Tell no tales
Tell no tales
Tell no tales
Tell no tales
In abundance
Words come running
With thoughts so confused
Burn the candle
Down at both ends
A life so abused
It's only your life my friends
Only a game
Tell no tales
Tell no tales
Tell no tales
Tell no tales
Solo
It's only your life my friends
Only a game
Tell no tales
Tell no tales
Tell no tales
Tell no tales
The lyrics of TNT's song "Tell No Tales" express a sense of freedom that comes after facing troubles and challenges in life. The opening lines bring out the idea of being temporarily free from any problems, where the singer explains how they are living day by day. The song suggests that they have been able to overcome any issues or dangers like hunters, and now they don't have to face them anymore.
The next verse talks about how words and thoughts come rushing in with confusion, indicating a state of mind that is not at peace. The line about burning the candle at both ends implies that someone is burning themselves out by overworking or being too indulgent in life. The song emphasizes that it's only one's life and a game, implying that one should not get too caught up in the chaos of life, but at the same time, one should enjoy it too.
The chorus repeats the phrase "tell no tales" thrice, which depicts secrets, and the idea of not sharing anything with anyone or maybe just keeping things private. Overall, the song talks about enjoying life but also keeping some truths concealed or to oneself.

My favourite TNT song. There is only one bad thing with song. Its far too short.

@MetalMike87 Simple, but Ask Dave Lombardo (Slayer) or Gene Hogland (Testament) about this song. The drummer in TNT is only a Hells Angels drummer. Give him a break. Hells Angels prefer Justin Bieber drums.

@MetalMike87 Dahl is more like a old school Power drummer than a Power Metal drummer. He don't play the drums on this song originally either way. All i know is that Tekro easily can play the guitar live any time as he plays better now as of 2020 than he ever did.
MetalMike87
@V3ntilator Man, it's impossible to know for sure the hows and whys a song isn't played live unless you're in the band.
From my point of view, drums are pretty basic, but yeah, if Dahl can't (doesn't want to) there's little for us to do (assuming he's the one having problems playing this stuff)
V3ntilator
@MetalMike87 All i know 100% for sure, one in the band is unable to play this song live and it's not Tekro. One of my best friends is also one of the best friends with Tekro in TNT. He said one in the band, but not who. When that's said, i'm going to a private concert party again at Ronnie Le Tekro's home in 2 weeks. ;) Been there a few times before.
MetalMike87
@V3ntilator fair. But any power-metal drummer can do this pattern. No need to disturb someone as technical as Hellhammer for this kinda stuff

This was when Tony was still in his prime and fresh off the Knights of the New Thunder era. He was so deadly and untouchable at this point in time. I saw them in a shithole bar in upstate NY around this time and they killed this live as well as all my favorite stuff from KOTNT (Break the Ice, Eddie, Last Summers Evil). Tony and Ronni even pulled out "Harley Davidson" that night from the very early days. Tony is still a killer singer today in his mid 50's, but his high's have noticeably diminished (fact of life).

One of THE greatest rock songs of all time … I saw the lads doing this up close at the marquee in London in the late 80s and I was completely blown away and still am to this day .. when Im feeling down or pissed off I put this on to make me feel like a fucking GOD!
