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 Harnell, Lé Tekrø and 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 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.

Caught Between The Tigers
TNT (NOR) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Whisper your name so sweet
Cold lies break from her lips
You don't feel the heat
There ain't no time to settle down
You're living on shakey ground
If that's what love is all about
Somewhere on a distant street
You're caught between the tigers
If you're walkin' on fire don't burn your feet
You're caught between the tigers
Sharp words cut down your spine
They stand in circle strong!
Be still in silent fear
For they'll soon be gone
They disappear before the dawn
Gonna disappear!
Come on, come on
There ain't no people you can trust
This city's been stained with lust
If that's what life is all about
There's only one way out
Somewhere on a distant street
You're caught between the tigers
If you're walkin' on fire don't burn your feet
You're caught between the tigers
Somewhere on a distant street
You're caught between the tigers
If you're walkin' on fire don't burn your feet
You're caught between the tigers
The lyrics of "Caught Between The Tigers" by TNT (NOR) express the feeling of being in a difficult situation with no clear way out. The words "dark eyes come down on you" suggest a feeling of being watched and judged, while "whisper your name so sweet" implies a deceptive and manipulative nature. The phrase "cold lies break from her lips" further emphasizes the notion that the person in question is untrustworthy and insincere. The line "you don't feel the heat" might indicate that the singer of the song does not feel any emotional connection to the other person and is therefore not affected by their lies.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "caught between the tigers," which suggests a feeling of being trapped or stuck in a dangerous situation. The lyrics also talk about "living on shady ground" and "this city's been stained with lust," which adds to the sense of danger and uncertainty. The line "there ain't no people you can trust" further emphasizes the feeling of isolation and being alone in a hostile environment. The song ends with the repeated phrase "if you're walking on fire, don't burn your feet," which could be interpreted as a warning to be cautious and not get too close to danger.
Overall, "Caught Between The Tigers" is a song about navigating difficult relationships and situations, and the importance of being careful and cautious. The lyrics suggest that trust is a rare commodity and that even the people closest to you can be deceptive and unreliable. The repeated chorus of "caught between the tigers" serves as a powerful metaphor for the feeling of being trapped and powerless in a dangerous situation.
Line by Line Meaning
Dark eyes come down on you
Intimidating glares are directed at you
Whisper your name so sweet
She speaks your name softly in a beguiling manner
Cold lies break from her lips
She speaks deceitful words in a detached and aloof manner
You don't feel the heat
Her words contain no passion or emotion
There ain't no time to settle down
No opportunity to take a break from the chaos
You're living on shaky ground
Your life is unstable and unpredictable
If that's what love is all about
If this is what is considered love
There's only one way out
There is only one escape from this situation
Somewhere on a distant street
An elusive location far away
You're caught between the tigers
Trapped and vulnerable between two dangerous entities
If you're walkin' on fire don't burn your feet
If you're in a difficult situation, be careful not to hurt yourself further
Sharp words cut down your spine
Hurtful language causes physical pain and discomfort
They stand in circle strong!
They possess considerable power and unity
Be still in silent fear
Remain motionless and quiet out of fear
For they'll soon be gone
The source of the fear will soon depart
There ain't no people you can trust
There is nobody reliable or trustworthy
This city's been stained with lust
The city is morally corrupted and immoral desires have tainted it
Somewhere on a distant street
An elusive location far away
You're caught between the tigers
Trapped and vulnerable between two dangerous entities
If you're walkin' on fire don't burn your feet
If you're in a difficult situation, be careful not to hurt yourself further
Somewhere on a distant street
An elusive location far away
You're caught between the tigers
Trapped and vulnerable between two dangerous entities
If you're walkin' on fire don't burn your feet
If you're in a difficult situation, be careful not to hurt yourself further

You're living on shakey ground
If that's what love is all about
There's only one way out

If you're walkin' on fire don't burn your feet
You're caught between the tigers
Sharp words cut down your spine
They stand in circle strong!
Be still in silent fear
For they'll soon be gone
They disappear before the dawn
Gonna disappear!
C'mon, c'mon
There ain't no people you can trust
This city's been stained with lust
If that's what life is all about
There's only one way out
Somewhere on a distant street
You're caught between the tigers
If you're walkin' on fire don't burn your feet
You're caught between the tigers

Somewhere on a distant street
You're caught between the tigers
If you're walkin' on fire don't burn your feet
You're caught between the tigers

Ronni and TNT were a killer band. I wish he would come and play in the USA. Saw them at The Merrilville Star Theater in Indiana opening for Maiden around '82 or '83 if I remember correctly. Ronni was fuckin' INCREDIBLE!
