Conference napalm::heavy_metal

    
    TNT has two lp's out. They're from Finland. they're a cool band
    but my info on them is kind of lacking at the moment...anyone wanna
    take over?
    
    wjb

    
    The first album is THE KNIGHT'S OF THE NEW THUNDER.
    it's not bad but not on par with TELL NO TALES
    in one of the guitar mags.the guitar player is considered
    one of the hottest new guitar players around if anyone buys
    TELL NO listen to the cut called sapphire.but I warn you
    it's way to short and leaves you begging for more.

                My own *OPINION*
                
                I love  TNT,  but  I  would say their first album
                (Knights of New  Thunder)  is  superior  to their
                latest.  Tell No  Tales  has  a nicer mixing job,
                but song quality is better on the first.
                
                The guitarist is a hack.  He reminds me of Vinnie
                Vincent.  He's got a real  fast  right  hand, but
                his left can't keep up with it.
                
                Note:  Those are my opinions and  are  in  no way
                meant to piss anyone off.
                

     
          Saw TNT with Loudness,&"Stryper",.Talk about a killer lineup,
       I was in AWE after a triple shot like that.TNT is going to be
    a killer band when they come into their own!

         Ummm, this is a 'note' - HSSWS1::Heavy_Metal is a 'conference'.
    
         Check the 'glossary note' for NOTES terms.

                Re: .5
                
                Tell no  Tales is their 2nd album.  The first was
                Knights of the  New  Thunder,  which  I  think is
                superior to their 2nd album.
                
                I forget exactly where  they come from (somewhere
                in  Scandanavia ???) I believe  if  you  look  at
                other  replies  to this note, it  will  tell  you
                there.

        Thanks Mr Moderator, i am fairly new to notes so appologies
    for  the wrong use of terms.
    
         Thanks also for the info on TNT i will try and get their first
    album ifit is available over here. Appologies also for not checking
    properly to see if TNT already had a note about them i must have
    overlooked it.
    
    Prince Of The Dawn.

           
    
                  THE GUITARIST NAME FOR TNT IS RONNIE LeTEKRO.
                  VINNIE VINCENT HAS NO STYLE(ALL THOUGH HIS SINGER
                  HAS A GREAT VOICE) LeTEKRO HAS HIS OWN UNIQUE STYLE
                  HE GREAT.
    
                                                                   M&M

    Anyone know if the new TNT album ( i think it is called Intuition)
    has been released yet. I saw Shades advertising it at 6 quid or
    so, but i havent seen any copies floating around this neck of the
    woods yet.
    
    Prince OF The Dawn.

                Hmmmm . . .
                
                Must have run out of TNT ideas.  First album was
                
                knights of The New Thunder then
                Tell No Tales now
                inTuiTion ???
                
                Maybe there is a silent N after the u????
                
                :`)
                
                

    Apparently "Intuition" will be available here in a couple of weeks.
    
    I still cannot get a copy of "Knights...." though, i guess i will
    have to order a copy.
    
    Prince Of The Dawn.
    
    

    Just got a copy of 'Intuition', it kicks some serious ass. Initial
    likes apart from every track so far, 'Caught Between The Tigers'
    (excellent rhythm) and the title track (brilliant catchy chorus).
                        
    
    
    Go on treat yourself................

    For all you people out there who want a definite kick ass
    sure-to-hit-the-big-time-with-this-one album, get intuition
    it is hot stuff.......
                              
    The other track i was trying to think of is 'Tonight I'm Falling
    For You'.
             
    You won't be disappointed.

    I wonder if anybody can help me.... I've bought TNT "Intuition"
    a few weeks ago and its great!!!! I know there are two other albums
    called "Knights of the new thunder" and "Tnt".
    I tried to order "Tnt" in HMV in Reading but they said it wasn't
    avaliable. Do you know if it's avaliable and is it avaliable on
    CD!!!!
    
                             Thanks

    Well, I've been listening to Intuition for a while now, and this album
    is great.  Anyone who likes Def Lep, Yngwie, or Scorps should buy this
    lp, as there are shades of all of that in here.  Its euro-metal at its
    best.  The production is superb and the writing is really happening.
    Rob Rothberg, I have no idea what you mean that Ronnie LeTekro has a
    fast right hand but his left cant keep up??  This is highly
    recommended. 
    
    Buck

                
                He couldn't  on the last two albums.  The guy has
                a real quick pick, but most of the time he's just
                moving  up  or  down  a  fret  whilst  doing  the
                picking.  He's hardly a "scale master".
                

    
    	I purchased `Knights of the New Thunder' last Wednesday, and like
    it  alot !  I  was surprised when I heard the lead singers voice. . .
    kinda' reminded  me of the range that Rob Halford (JP) has.  A couple
    of the tunes that stick in my mind are:
    
    	Seven Seas
    	Last Summers Evil
    	Without Your Love
    	Break the Ice
    	Deadly Metal
    	Knights of the Thunder
    
    METALord"_who's_listening_to_`Seven_Seas'_right_now_!

    I think "Knights Of The New Thunder" is their best album.....then
    "Intuition" and "Tell No Tales"
    By the way METALord where did you get "Knights Of The New Thunder"?
    
                               Thanks

     Re -a couple,

          Once you've bought Intuition, go and get 'Tell No Tales' as well,
you wont regret it.

            This band deserves more of a name than they have at present, anyone
know which is their first single from 'Intuition' and if they have released a
video.?


             Prince Of The Dawn

    The first single released from Intuition (here in the states) is
    _Tonight I'm Falling_.  Its a cool song, but my favs off that lp
    are Ordinary Lover, A Nation Free, & Intuition.

    I understand that they played a club here in Co. Springs on Wednesday
    night.  I couldn't go because of prior commitments, but have heard that
    it was a very good show.
    
    gh

                TNT tonight  at  the  Channel!   A friend told me
                that this wasn't  actually  the  band TNT, it was
                heavy  metal  night  being   promoted  by  T.N.T.
                productions or something like that,  but  I  just
                called  and  was told Polygram recording  artists
                TNT tonight.

                - Rob -
                

                
                TNT was  simply  the Yones!  Tony's voice wailed.
                I didn't think I'd make it (they had 4 or 5 bands
                on before them), but  I managed to hang out until
                TNT.   They obviously had  big  time  prerecorded
                backup  vocals,  but  you  couldn't  really  tell
                unless you looked very closely for a  while.  The
                place  was  packed, and BTW, for those who  don't
                know, The Channel is now charging $2 for parking.
                I  was  amazed  that he actually help the note in
                Desperate Life  (I  think  that's the name of the
                song).  One  of those 25 second long notes that's
                way up in the  atmosphere ...  anyway, looks like
                there  wasn't anybody from the  conference  there
                (at least *I* didn't see anyone).    One  of  the
                best live shows I've seen in a while.
                
                Cheers, Rob
                

    I'm sure Buck will be really disappointed, as he commented to me
    when he was here earlier in the week that he really wanted to see them.  
    
    He was telling me that Ronnie LeTekro (sp?) has a microtonal
    (quartertone frets between where the normal ones would go) guitar which
    he used on some of the stuff on Intuition.  Did he play one of these at
    the show?
    
    I definately need to see them too!
    
    gh

    	Greg, he nearly fell off his barstool when I told him he was
    	missing them on Tuesday.
    
    							Carla
    

                I would have liked to have seen that one!   :')
                
                His guitar  looked  pretty  normal  to  me, but I
                didn't have any  binoculars  handy  and basically
                just listened while hanging  out.  Didn't pay too
                much attention to what was  going  on.   One neat
                thing he did was his solo.  He had two guitars up
                on stands and played something on one  which  was
                hooked up to a digital delay, something different
                on the 2nd which was also on a delay  and  soloed
                on the  third.    Nothing spectacular, but it was
                different.
                
                - Rob -
                

    I went to that show also.  They were great.  I've always like them i
    like all three of their albums.  I saw them two years ago at the
    orpheum with Great White and Twisted Sister.  Another great show.  It
    was better seeing them up close though.  
    
    Kim

    So you have all of their albums....what on Lp or Mc Or Cd..!!!
    I must amit their a very good band....! And Ronnie is a great
    guitarist...!!!
    
    
    				SRi
    

    I have their them all on tapes.  I don't even own a CD player.

    
    These guys were good last year at the City Lights!  Not much of a turn
    out, too bad for the band, good for me!  I was 10 feet away from the 
    stage and Ronnie is an amazing player.  He didn't play his 1/4 stepper
    guitar, though.  Personally, I see a little use in a guitar that can
    give you 1/4 step...
    
    I work with a guy that claims he played drums on their FIRST album. 
    Supposedly one *BEFORE* KONT, but I have not bee able to find it, so 
    it'll stay as a claim...  If anyone out there knows anything about this
    missing album, the  drummer's name is Paul Hill.  He did play drums
    for Sticky Toys(or should I say played skins for ... ;-) ), and 
    supposedly toured US with them...  Who knows?...
    
    J-Dot

    
    
    I never heard of album before KOTNT.  I got to see TNT at the channel
    this past year.  I was pretty surprised they even played in a club. 
    There was a good turn out for them.  They put on an incredible show!! 
    But, then again I LOVE TNT!!! - Kim

I've been listening to these guys a lot the last couple of weeks and am 
really enjoying them!  When I first heard KOTNT I kind of thought it 
lacked luster, but after a couple more listens it really grew on me.

Ronnie LeTekro is nothing short of awe inspiring!

Greg  (who still needs to pick up "Intuition")

                     
    If TNT got shot of that screaming/whiney singer they would be a good
    band, but alas...

Okay Buck, you've convinced me that I should spend my hard-earned
$$$ on a TNT CD.  Which one ??

jc

    If you like a more METAL approach, but Tell No Tales...
    
    If you like a slicker sounding production (ala Def Lep), with no
    so much burning lead guitar, but with better somgs that have more
    soul, buy Inmtuition.  F*%#, I say just get em both!
    
    I have yet to buy Knights of The New Thunder...can\t find it ANYWHERE!

    RE. 43 - I had KNONT but lost it about a year ago.  I've tryed to
    replace it but it's no where to be found.  If you get a hold of it let
    me know so I can pick it up. - Kim

    
    Bought my Knights of New Thunder (didn't use the acronym on purpose 
    ;^)   ) about a year ago for $3.99!  Whatabahgin!  I do want it back
    sometime this year, Greg!  ;^>  But I am glad you like it.
    
    Ronnie is awesome, however, I can't see a use in having a Quarter-
    stepper, tho.  I LOOOVE his tone on 10,000 lovers!  
    
    Has anyone EVER heard of an album or EP before the "Knights"?

Yo Mike,  Are these the guys who have three guits ??

re: Coop - three guitars

Nope, only one.

For you, Jeff, I'd recommend Knights of the New Thunder.  It's a little bit 
heavier then Tell No Tales, but not quite as melodic overall. There's also a
bit more guitar.

I was checking the relesase date on this one and it's from '84.  I had no 
idea it was that old.  For some reason I thought this one came after Tell
No Tales.

Silly me...

Greg

    Re -2,
    
    
          Three guitarist's, sounds like a nice bit of Leatherwolf to me !!
    
    
    
    Prince Of The Dawn.

    Jeff has had me listening to this band for the past three weeks now
    (thanks to Buck), and I think that they are pretty cool, the guitar
    work is great.
    
    CJ

    I've been listening to "Intuition" quite a bit lately and I'm really
    impressed with the sound and the layering.  I can't believe what a HUGE
    sound they got on this record.
    
    All those vocal harmonies must be a real pain to deal with live (I
    guess that's what they make samplers for).  Speaking of that, my friend
    ran sound for Pretty Boy Floyd when they played here in the springs a
    few weeks ago and he said they had an Ensonic EPS backstage that a guy
    played nothing but vocal samples from.  I guess that's what everyone
    thinks people want to hear, live music that sounds EXACTLY like a
    record.
    
    Back to TNT, I wish I could cop Ronni's tone, it's killer.  I wouldn't
    mind a little of his technique and style too, but I guess I shouldn't
    ask for too much...
    
    gh

The tone doesn't impress me as much as his style.  His tone sounds like
a distorted guitar, probably a Marshall or something similar...

BUT...That style is incredible !

jc (Who agrees with GH)

    -1   No way!
    
    I agree with gh...Ronnie's guitar sounds KILLER...I'd kill to have a
    tone like his!  His amps (Marshalls?) and guitars (Kramers) are both
    highly modified, so I guess I'll probably never come close to his
    sound.  I also love the BIG sound they got on Intuition...great mix!
    You can hear on a few tunes that Ronnie has a slight chorus effect on
    his guitar...helps give it that edge IMHO.
    
    Buck, who likes his sound more than his style.
    
    PS - IMO, TNT tunez stand out over their musicianship.

You said it yourself;  The sound engineers generally have more to do
with ones sound than his gear...Even if his stuff is modified (which
I'm sure it is), it's still his style that punches thru all
the engineering glit...

JMHO,
jc

    
    I think the guitar tone on "10,000 Lovers" says it all!
    I am more mesmerized by his tone than his style, which by the 
    way is pretty incredible in itself.

    I have to agree on the tone thing, yeah his technique is hot and I love
    his style and all, but his tone is the tops.  It's got lots of gain,
    but it's still clear, not scratchy, buzzy, or crunchy like most amps
    get when you crank megagain.  
    
    I also like the chorus he seems to use a lot, not too overpowering like
    a what some people use.
    
    I was glancing at the liner notes for Tell No Tales yesterday and
    noticed that his amps are modified by a place called Sound Tech
    somewhere in Finland.  I wonder what they do to them?

    RE: .55
    
  >>His amps (Marshalls?) and guitars (Kramers) are both highly modified,
  >>so I guess I'll probably never come close to his sound.
    
    Not if you sit down with your Ibanez, Marshall 900, and a copy of
    Intuition. It will take you all of a few hours. Oh, and try setting all
    your controls around 7.

       Ronnie is the units!!! Like Rob was saying he did at the Channel
    last year with two guitars on stands infinitly repeating while he
    played his solo on the third. That was kool.
       But a few years ago at Great Woods he came out with a wand and
    tophat, played a rhythm on a guitar then walked around the stage while
    it repeated, waving his wand.(GET YOUR MIND OUT OF THE GUTTER!!!) Then
    to guitar #2 and new rhythm layering over the first. then guitar #3 
    another rhythm layered in. Then he would point his wand at one of the
    guitars and it would stop. Then wave his wand and it would start
    playing the rhythm again. Finally he picked up guitar #4 and did a ripping
    solo. It was sooooooooo Kool!!!! He was kicking out the jams!!! Most 
    intense player.

    Hey 'pril...you into TNT?   You wanna talk about a rulin band!!!

    TNT is awesome!  I can't think of anyone to compare them to, they have
    a very unique sound.  It's heavy, but very melodic with a rippin guitar
    sound.
    
    I prefer the album "Tell No Tales" as an introduction to TNT before you
    listen to "Intuition".  It's heavier and not as glossy on the
    production.  Don't get me wrong though, "Intuition" is an outstanding
    album too.
    
    gh

    
    prillllllllll,
                    I agree with gh, you can't compare TNT to anybody.
                    Definitly get "Intuition", but there are others.
    
                         TNT=   Knights of the New Thunder  
    
                         TNT=   Tell No Tales
    
                         TNT=   Intuition
    
            They are one of my favorite bands.........................Mark

    
    Wow, I was just listening to this CD in my car up and back from 
    Coopers today!!!  What a trip...
    
    Knights of the New Thunder is a totally ripping album!!!
    I would definitely recommend Tell No Tales, although, I would urge
    you to get both!!!
    
    J.

    I wanna know when TNT's new lp will be coming out...it's been almost
    3 years now...
    
    and why isn't Ronnie more respected as a guitar player?  a F... of
    a lot better than NuNOSE(tm)!

    
    
      I'm still in here, I just have to find the time to log in once and a
    while. Thanks for asking though.

    TNT has a new drummer...their latest album, PURPLE ROYALE MAJESTY,
    will be in the stores in early August!!  Rumors from within the
    industry say that this album is less of the AOR-pop that made up
    Intuition and more of the hard-edged grind that made up Tell No Tales!
    
    Can't wait!!
    Buck

     I was gonna put the same info in but Buck beat me to it!!!
    
             I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!
    
       I hope SKID ROW and TNT start a new thing among H_M......Heavy!!!
    
                   TNT deserves to be really big!!!!
    Their talent is boundless!
    
                             Frizkid

    >What's their lineup, anyway?
    
    THE SAME - Ronnie Le Tekro - Guitars
    	       Tony Harnell - amazing vocals
    	       Morty Black - Bass, synth bass
    
    NEW -      ???? - New drummer
    		??? - New keyboardist

    Anybody hear anything on the new TNT?
    
            I am awaiting anxiously for it!! It should rule the planet as
    the other albums have.....
    
            I saw them on the cover of a mag-rag just the other day...
    
             Ronnie is lookin' scruffy!
    
                           Frizkid
    

    I saw a thing on them in the Fender mag...yeah, Ronnie looks like he's
    been sleeping on the streets!!
    
    They said PURPLE MOUNTINS MAJESTY would have a Sept/Oct release.
    So, where is it?!

    WAH!! When is this new album going to be out?
               I'm going crazy!!!
    This is one of the most underrated bands in the universe!

    According to Rockit Records the new album is due out
    
    	Tues. 2/11
    
    The title is something like "Realized Fantasy"

RE: -.1

Definately took the words right out of my mouth !!

	Yup!!!   I am lookin forward to this one too!!

    I'll be first in line here!
    
         What happened to "Purple Mountain Majesty"?
    
                Frizkid
    

    So, today the new TNT is supopsed to be released...
    
    ANyone heard anything?  Did this happen??  Should I be running out to
    my nearest record store???

     I went today too two local record stores, and neither new anything
    about it.

    TNT RULZ!

    I've only heard one of their songs called "tonight I'm dying for you"
    or something like that,it was quite nice,the guitar playing was
    excellant and the tone was supberb.Whats the best album by these guys
    so I can clue myself up?
    
    
                                                 Staynz
    

    All of them:
             Knights of the New Thunder...Tell No Tales.....Intuition!!!
    
              Frizkid
    

    -2
    
    That's _Tonight I'm FALLING For You_!
    
    Friz is correct...ALL TNT albums are excellent!  If you like more
    commercial style rock, get Intuition.  Tell No Tales is better for
    a hard edged rock approach, and KOTNT offers up a "Mid 80s" Euro
    metal sound...similar to old Scorps.

    Why aren't these guys big?  They should be....
      They can do anything they want musically and have.
    
                     Frizkid
    

    I have searched the world over and haven't found my TNT true love...
    Record stores here say no-go on the new release. We need to find out
    for sure what is the deal!!!
    
    Any further info will be greatly appreciated!!! 
    
      Need a dose of some new TNT!!!!!!!!!
    
                                  Snake~
                                       

    
    I asked at Rockit records in Nashua, NH.  The guy told me that they 
    hadn't been told of a release date yet!  It's only been, what, three
    years now?!
    
    
    Steve G.

    The album has been done for about a year now.
           Something tells me the record company is playnig games with
    them.
    
        Frizkid
    

    Uh, make that *4* years now!!
    
    
    Buck, who fondly remembers cranking "A Nation Free" while driving down  
    the blvd in Denver in the summer of 1988!

    Yeah, that would have been the first time I met Buck.  I remember him
    playing Intuition for me on the tape deck in his rental car on the way
    up to my house in torrential rains.
    
    Blew my mind, I had to go get the rest of the albums...
    
    gh

    Just picked up "Intuition" today....
    
    Guess I'm in a kinda mellow mood today, but my favourite cuts off it is
    "End Of The Line" and "Tonight I'm Falling"...
    
    Definitely a good tape!!
    

    
    Kristy listening to TNT... what's next?
    
    

    Woobie,
    
    Get Tell No Tales next!!
    

    
    no way...
    
    

    
    get knights of new thunder (and .100) :')
    

    According to Rockit Records:
    
    June 16 is the new release date for "Realized Fantasy"
    
    Let's hope it actually comes out this time.

    "Realized Fantasy"?  What happened to Purple Mountains Majesty?

    It's still a song on the album but lost it's title position.

    New release date from Realized Fantasies is June 23rd
    Just got the promo, haven't listened to it yet.
    

    >Just got the promo
    
    (As The Crusher said to Bugs Bunny) ...WHAT?!
    
    Listen to it...now!

    I listened to it and it's CRAP and I'm VERY,VERY angry at them.
    
     I was expecting ALOT more from **THE** TNT!!!
    
      It's by far they're worst release and everbody knows how great I
    think they are.
    
              Frizkid
    

    RE-1
    
    Don't tell me this... 
    
    I have waited close to a year for this album, and your telling me it
    sounds like CRAP. 
    
    What is it lacking???

	Don't tell ME this!!!!  I have been waiting for....for...

	for a long time!!!! hehehehe!!


	I hope it is not crap!!


						-WillBeBummedypooh

    DUDES!!! I've been waiting as long as you all have....
    
         Compared to their last albums it's crap!  
    I was just as psyched to hear and keep giving it chances over the
    weekend but to no such luck.  
      Sorry to break the bad news.....
    
    On top of that if you don't have a promo demo you won't get to buy it
    for another month!

    	Please, tell me more!!  If it's as bad as Friz says, maybe all of
    	this TNT discussion will slow down or even stop!!

    Shawn: Shud-up..This is a delicate matter.

    forgettable.
    
    Go back and look at the titles....ACK!
    
             Frizkid
    

    
    KONT is the gnads!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    I'll put in my review later, but it's not QUITE as bad as Friz'  I need
    to listen to it a few more times.
    
    

    O.K. Maybe I was a little harsh on them but I've been WAITING for
    this album for soooo long and all they have to offer me is this?
    
      KOTNT **IS** the BALLZ!
    
                 Frizkid
    

    I gotta agree with da Pooh... I like all of 2 songs off of NOTNT,
    TNT was much better, and Int is roolin!

	Buck and others, there is just something about KOTNT
	that I don't like, the lyrics are poor compared to Int.
	and the music is not as catchy or as smooth flowing..
	The music itself on KOTNT is rough...

	BUT THEN AGAIN!!!  I listened and loved Int. BEFORE I
	bought KOTNT and it doesn't compare...


	Kinda like listening to Mechanical Ren. (Tesla) and then
	buying 5 Man acoustical jam...

	Just so much less quality in songs and lyrics(not reall lyrics
	for Tesla, but for TNT)....

       Have you ever heard them?

    hey buck, be in the marlboro area saturday and ill bring the tape with
    me :')
    

    Will do, rob-r

    
    release date pushed back to the 30th now.  i've outplayed the lifeof
    this album pretty quickly.  it's hit the dust bin pretty much.  stupid
    cover too (though the chick on the cover is cute for a drawing :'))
    
    

    BOMB......I have lost ALL faith I had in TNT but I'll probably buy the
    next album if they ever get to do another one.
    
                Friz
    

    *shrug* I don't think Realized Fantasy is *that* bad.... Intuition is
    better, but RF isn't anywhere near as horrible as I had been led to
    believe... 
    
    to each his/her own, I guess..

    Iz RF out/released yet?!?

	TYes Buck, it is out in stores...


							-Seth

    Yup... I picked it up tonite at Coconutes in Nashua...
    
    it really isn't that bad a tape....

    BUT......It really isn't that great WHICH *I* EXPECT from TNT.
        The tape sucks compared to KOTNT and Tell No Tales.
      
                       Friz
    

    Well, I wasn't all that impressed with KOTNT, but whatever...

    I personally don't like KOTKT

    KOTNT was the first album I heard by TNT and it cranks.
     A little cheesy but damn fine stuff for the time.
       Kristy:It's nothing personal I'm just really dissapointed with TNT.
    I'm glad you like but I can't accept it.
    
                     Friz
    

    
    i agree with friz!  kotnt is def. one of my favs!  this new stuff just
    isn't up to that level...  
    

	Well, I have given 'Realized Fantasy' a few listens and here is
	my opinion...


	It is NO 'Int.' it is harder and rocks more...

	Overall it is cool, but a different style...   It is good for
	a different mood than 'Int.'

	It is *MUCH* better that KOTNT, I never liked that one...


	I am not sure how it compares to TNT yet.


								-Seth

    
    
    Well, after listening to 'Realized Fantasy' for a couple days, 
    I can give my review.
    
    I agree with Seth.   It's not *bad*, but it's definately a 
    disappointment after listening to 'Intuition' and 'Tell No Tales.'
    They're style has changed a LOT.  Production isn't as glossy as 
    'Int' or 'TNT'.  This usually wouldn't bother me, but is seems
    like something's missing.  The backing vocals aren't as prevalent
    and Ronnie doesn't seem to stand out as much.
    
    I'm sure I'll listen to it here and there, but not like their 
    others.
    
    ***** out of 10.
    
    
    Steve

    I listened to it about 4 times last night while I was boxing up some
    speaker cabs.  I'm not big TNT fan, but I enjoyed it a lot.  On a scale
    of 1-10, I'd give it a 7.  Some of the songs were *very* predictable,
    but others had some pretty neat bridges and breaks, and that always
    ranks high in my book.  I need to revisit "Intuition" this weekend -
    been a long time since I aired that one out, maybe I can come up with a
    better comparison ...
    
    Scary

    I thought it was funny that it has not been noted yet in here that TNT
    has officially BROKE UP.  Yup, they're gonzo, kaput, see ya later,
    syanara, Aloha, etc.

    I believe it after that last album...They were great musicians but
    never got it together. Another fault is of the record company...
    They didn't do SH*T for em'!  They couldv'e gone big....
    
     Buck...Did you hear why?
    
         Friz
    

    WHy = Absolutly No support from record co.  Realized Fantasy was a 
    Realized Flop in the record bins ... they lost their record contract,
    and called it quits (sorta like Lite Whine-on).

    
    no wway!!  i listened to the newest album 3 times yesterday.  it's
    still in my tape deck...  oh well.
    
    

    
    here's a vague question...
    
    met someone last week who says TNT put out a new album 2 months ago and
    swears it is the best thing they have ever put out.  he told me the
    record label, but i forgot.  i've been researching, and the only thing
    i've come up with is two of the guys put out an album of thin lizzy
    covers.  anybody know anything else about this?
    
    

    Question:
    
    Does TNT stand for...
    
    - Tell No Tales
    - The New Thunder
    - The Nice Touch

    
    
    as far as i know it doesnt stand for a thing, though they seem to like
    using the initials in many of the album titles...
    
    

    BZZZT -- Wrong Answer!
    
    TNT stands for "The New Thunder" ... as quoted by the band in a 1985
    interview.

      I have RF as well - are these that hard to find. I also have
    INTUITION. FWIW , I like the guitar work on Realized Fantasies
    slightly better.
    
      Anyone have Ronnie's new band  "VAGABOND"?

    the new ones arent hard to find on cd, but knights is next to

    tell no tales is a pain these days.
    

    Ronnie has a new band??  Tell me more!

    
    	There's a slew of "Realized Fantasies" in the bargain bin at
    	Newbury Comics.

    TNT remains one of the all-time FAVOURITE bands ever!!!

    My favourite TNT albums, in order:
    
    1) Intuition
    2) Tell No Tales
    3) Realized Fantasies
    4) Knights of the New Thunder

    
    Ive only ever heard one complete album and it was hokey!There was a
    song about "the hammer of Thor" and I laughed long and loud!
    
    I heard a single years later and it was very pop-orientated...it was
    called something like "tonight I'm dying for ya".The ripping solo
    didn't seem to fit into the general feel of the song!
    
    
    					ian

    
    	"Everyone's a Star" has always been my favorite of theirs.
    
    	But for the most part they're crap.
