1) TNT is a hard rock band… Read Full Bio ↴There are at least 10 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.

The Letter
TNT Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And though it said you were sorry
I still try to think of ways to hurt you
But that's one thing I won't do
As much as I would like to
I got a letter from you today
The last time you came home in the morning
But all the words in this world
Could never make it true
I'll just stay in denial
It's all I think I can do
It's all I can do
It's all I can do, all I can do
I got a letter from you today
My blood was spilled on the page
I never knew a pen could cut so deeply
But all the words in this world
Could never make it true
I'll just stay in denial
It's all I think I can do
It's all I can do
It's all I can do, all I can do
I got a letter from you today
And though it said you were sorry
I got a letter from you today
Bitter cold just like your face
In TNT's song "The Letter," the singer receives a letter from someone apologizing for their past actions. Despite this attempt at reconciliation, the singer still feels hurt and angry, and thinks about ways to hurt the person back. However, the singer realizes that they cannot bring themselves to actually follow through with any of these vengeful thoughts. They are instead consumed by denial, unable to accept the truth of what has happened. The letter itself is described as being painful, as though it has cut the singer deeply; this pain is likened to the emotional pain they are experiencing. Ultimately, the singer is left feeling trapped, unable to move on from the hurt they have experienced and the confusion and bitterness brought up by the letter.
Overall, "The Letter" is a powerful and emotional exploration of the complicated feelings that come with trying to move on from past conflict and hurt. It delves into themes of denial, anger, reconciliation, and forgiveness, and does so with a rawness and honesty that is both refreshing and disarming.

I got a letter from you today
I received a piece of writing from you in the form of a letter today
And though it said you were sorry
Despite the fact that the contents of said letter expressed regret
I still try to think of ways to hurt you
I am still attempting to come up with methods that would cause you emotional or physical pain
But that's one thing I won't do
However, inflicting harm upon you is not something I will do
As much as I would like to
Even though I may desire to behave in such a manner
Bitter cold just like your face
The temperature of the letter felt frigid, much like the expression on your face during our last encounter
The last time you came home in the morning
During the previous instance when you returned to our shared dwelling in the early hours of the day
But all the words in this world
However, despite the vast abundance of language at our disposal
Could never make it true
None of those words could ever transform the unpleasant reality I am facing into something different
I'll just stay in denial
My strategy for coping with the unfavorable situation is to refuse to acknowledge its existence
It's all I think I can do
This is the only method I believe I am capable of employing to handle the situation
My blood was spilled on the page
The words contained within the letter were written with such force that they caused a visceral reaction, akin to blood being shed
