TNT

The Norwegian Heavy Metal band 'TNT' was formed in the city of Trondheim in 1982, by vocalist and rhythm guitarist Dag Ingebrigtsen (aka D.D. Dynamite), guitarist Ronni Le Tekrø, bassist Steinar Eikum and drummer Diesel Dahl. Securing a national record contract with Vertigo Norway (PolyGram), 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". The band has released thirteen studio albums, three EPs and four live albums. TNT's debut is pure heavy metal. Ronni's guitarwork on this debut was already spectacular and already helped to establish them as one of Scandinavian's finest Heavy Metal metal bands.

Liveplatta inspelad 2017. Amerikanen Tony Harnell har sjungit i norska TNT i omgångar, framförallt på de framgångsrika 80-tals albumen som gjorde TNT till ett stort namn. De hade då bland annat hits som "10 000 Lovers (In One)". Dock har relationen mellan Harnell och TNTs gitarrist och låtskrivare Ronnie Le Tekro alltid varit ansträngd och Harnell har flera gånger hoppat av för att sedan åter komma med i TNT. Denna live är ett av bandets sista framträdanden med Harnell i sättningen. Energin på scen är väldigt speciell och låtlistan är fantastisk.

'Realized Fantasies' is one of T.N.T.'s heaviest albums with an average song length of over five minutes. The opening track "Downhill Racer" is an awesome song with hard hitting basslines from Morty Black, Ronnie Le Tekrø's famous cuts and riffs, and the unmistakably voice of Tony Harnell. The dynamic "Purple Mountain's Majesty", combines straight ahead rock, with spots for both Harnell and Le Tekrø to do their thing. The album is a nice mix of rockers, ballads, and some unconventional or experimental tunes with songs like "Indian Summer", "Mother Warned Me", "Rock And Roll Away" and "Hard To Say Goodbye". One of Norway's best hard-rock albums from the nineties!

With the release of their third album Scandinavians T.N.T. became definitely one of the greatest and best-selling bands of the mid-eighties 'Hair-Metal' era in Europe. The competition world-wide was great. Britain had Def Leppard with their 'Pop-Metal', The U.S.A. had the 'Kindergarten Metal' from Los Angeles' Poison and from both, the West and East coast the 'Hair-Metal' from girl-favorites Bon Jovi of course the 'Glam-Kings' Motley Crue. Europe had the melodic 'Euro-Glam-Metal' from Norwegians T.N.T. with Ronni Le Tekrø and Tony Harnell gaining a reputation as a talented duo. Their third album 'Tell No Tales' features both "10,000 Lovers" as well as "Everyone's A Star" which had heavy rotation on MTV.
