TNT

Any fans of this melodic metal/hard rock band from Norway?


Let's discuss.

I have Knights of the New Thunder. It's a good disc. I got that one because I really didn't know where to start with TNT.

I really like Starbreaker a lot. I only have the S/T, but I really enjoy it.

I really like them up to Intuition, after that they forgot who they were. Intuition is one of my all time favorite albums, Tell No Tales and Knights of the new Thunder are also great. I have one other album not sure of title ( the problems with having so many albums) It was good I remember but not up to the quality of those albums

speaking of TNT, check out this intense performance from Tony Harnell, their former singer. This guy sings this stuff like it's nothing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oinJmn1xRAk

I love the samples I've heard of Starbreaker. I need to get some of their stuff.

As far as TNT goes - they are one of my favorites.

I still need to fill all the holes in my collection - but out of what I have I'd rank like so:

1. Intuition (truly a masterpiece of an album)
2. Tell No Tales
3. Transistor
4. Knights of the New Thunder

I will always like Knights Of The New Thunder best. The songwriting style on that lp is what they did best to compliment the talent in the band.

I'm gonna put Knights on the playlist today. Metallic Blaze, I would highly recommend you get some Starbreaker.

Me too. They were pioneers here in Norway! Love that album, and the 2 that folowed. I also like some of the "reunion" discs. But the latest with Mills just SUCKS!

the only one I have is 'Knights of the New Thunder' on cassette, it is not bad, and it is dated, but not a bad listen every now and then. I need to upgrade this tape to CD.

Agree with James and kmorg.

Tony Harnell is one of my favorite vocalists.
I love both Starbreaker and Westworld.

Big fan of their early material. Knights,Tell No Tales,and Intuition are phenomenal. They started losing it at Realized Fantasies and I haven't heard anything from them since. I'm not even sure I want to based on what I've read about the newer stuff.

I prefer the early albums. Knights Of The New Thunder is my favorite.

Will do! Just added them to my list.

Any TNT album w/ Tony Harnell is absolutely worth owning...all killer Melodic Hard Rock (IMO, they were only "Metal" on Knights...and even some of that is debatable)...

I think I heard one of their songs a while ago. If I remember correctly it was right up my alley, so I'll definitely pick up a TNT disc or two sooner or later.

I like nearly all the TNT stuff. Everyone hated My Religion, but I thought it was a great album.

My Religion was the best thing they did since Tell No Tales...easily one of the band's best CDs. I rank it higher than Intuition and Knights...

Never heard these guys with the exception of a song or 2 that gets played on satellite radio. Decent enough, but never dug any deeper.

Tell No Tales
My Religon
Intuition
All The Way To The Sun
Realized Fantasies
Firefly
Transistor
Knights Of The New Thunder

In that order. Now don't think I think Knights is bad...its not at all...its just my least favorite.

Yeah, My Religion was one of the better reunion discs. "Atlantis" however

Ronni needs to loose the pointy leaf tobacco

Both of the Tony Mills albums are lacking, IMO. The sum does not equal the parts...

Their first three albums are total metal.

"Knights" might be more in the vein of traditional metal, but "Tell No Tales" and "Intuition" are both pop metal albums. And damned good ones.

Not IMO...but that's OK.

I used to see a video all the time by this band on a TV rock/metal video show ... the name of the song escapes me now but I think it was from the KNIGHTS OF THE NEW THUNDER album. It was OK I guess. For the longest time I used to confuse this band with Stone Fury (Lenny Wolf's pre-Kingdom Come band), probably because I used to see one of their videos on the same show all the time.

Only album I ever owned was a copy of TRANSISTOR I won from a contest in a 'zine years back. That one did nothin' for me so I traded it off.

Yeah, that's okay bro.

We all see things a little differently from time to time. No offense.
