Kenneth Odiin became TNTโs 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 โRealized Fantasiesโ and โThree Nights in Tokyoโ (both released in 1992). The same year they decided to take a break, choosing to focus on various solo projects. In 1996 the compilation โTill Next Timeโ was released, and Harnell, Lรฉ Tekrรธ and Black reformed TNT with drummer Frode Hansen. That line-up recorded two albums, Firefly in 1997 and Transistor in 1999.
In 2000 Morten โDieselโ Dahl came back to TNT, 12 years after he left. The band started working on their new album โMy Religionโ, 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.
TNTโs new studio album, All The Way To The Sun was released in the fall of 2005. A single, โSometimesโ 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 kickinโ - and are proud to introduce the new man behind the mic: Singer Tony Mills from Birmingham, England. Tony is one of Europeโs 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 Millsโ band Shy were already booked to support TNT at the Polar Festival on June 30 in Storsteinnes, Norway before Harnellโs departure. This concert for TNT will be fronted by the ex-vocalist Tony Harnell as a farewell show for him.

What A Wonderful World
TNT (NOR) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shakin' hands, sayin' "How do you do?"
They're really saying "I love you"
I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Oh yeah
The song "What A Wonderful World" by TNT (NOR) is a beautiful and uplifting ode to the beauty and wonder of the world we live in. The opening lines, "I see trees of green, red roses too, I see them bloom for me and you," set the tone for the rest of the song, which celebrates the beauty and majesty of nature. The singer takes the time to notice and appreciate the colors of the sky and the faces of the people around him, remarking on how the colors of the rainbow can be found in both.
The second verse is a bit more contemplative, highlighting both the light and dark aspects of the world. The "bright blessed day" and "dark sacred night" are both worthy of appreciation, in the singer's eyes. The third verse brings the focus back to people, as the singer notes the simple act of shaking hands and saying "how do you do" can often be a way of expressing love and connection.
The final verse is perhaps the most poignant, as the singer reflects on the passing of time and the growth of babies into adults. The sentiment here is one of humility, as the singer acknowledges that the younger generation will inevitably surpass him in knowledge and experience. But even in this acknowledgement, there is a sense of wonder and appreciation for the world at large. The song ends on a hopeful note, with the singer affirming that he truly does believe it is a wonderful world.
