TNT are from Norway with an American singer Tony Harnell, a seriously great band, this song is from the album 'Tell No Tales' (1987), I'm sure the whole album is on youtube somwhere, give it a listen it's a great album
The ‘80s were nicknamed “The Decade of Excess”. We did everything overboard. The drum sets were massive because that’s what was cool. How silly it would’ve been to see this band with a small drum kit. Just think about it. The guitar solo was awesome. The vocals were really high. The outfits were flashy. The hairs were big.
I still remember hearing this for the first time on a compilation album called so heavy it hurts, I loved that album so much, i was devastated when my tape deck chewed a part of the tape, but I did the old chop and fix, then popped it back into walkman and played it to death lol. And if i remember correctly this song was followed by warlocks 3 minute warning. But there was definitely something special about the hair metal bands ,from their lyrics, sounds and sets to their looks and videos. Get reaction and much respect and love for keeping great music alive. 🙂
Dunno If they reversed something, but Ronni Le Tekrø is a super guitarist no matter what challenge you put in front of him. And yes, Diesel Dahl is a top notch drummer
OMG! Thank you for playing this! I knew the band name, but the song was only alittle familiar...then I see this video and it all came together...I do remember this! Think I was about 18 when this came out...more focused on work than when I was younger, so I wasn't as tuned into new music unless they played the Strip in Hollywood.
It's not reversed they are VOLUME SWELLS - you strike the note with little or no volume on your guitar then twist the Volume Knob up. See CATHEDRAL by VAN HALEN or watch the Tommy Video you can see the guitarist twist the knob on his Guitar!
Where you asked if they reversed something, I think he’s just starting the note with the volume down and quickly turning it back up, like a swell effect
They sound like reversed phrases to me, with a post-reversal swell added. Regular swells hit kinda different. I think those opening 4 notes of the solo sound spliced together as well. Be interesting to know what actually went on in the studio there. Not to take away from his playing though, because once you get past those first half of the solo, there is some very clean, fast phrasing there. I think bands and engineers did stuff for shits n giggles sometimes.
Great song, great album, great band!

This band very much under rated. I love this bands sound they rock!
Theeee most awesome Guitar Riff and Guitar Tone ever at the start.
Super song, 10.000 lovers
Ronnie Le Tekro and Tony Harnell (as was TNT) were greatly underrated. Phenomenal band.

I could hear this song over and over and over and over
I found these guys this year. So good live :O

Tony Harnell (a personal friend from before he joined TNT) has the best voice in metal
Yeah great song & his high vocals, nice one TNT🔥🤙

You must check out "Desperate Night" and "As far as the eyes can see" from the same album!
Everyone's a Star~ too~
As old as Tommy, he being born in 1987. Never heard it before either.
Thanx for the review. Its a great song with great band.
Tony Harnell actually goes higher than Tommy, not that Tommy can't...
Its about me, im born 7th of may 1987
The drummer married into my fosterfamily
The drum set is a Jon Bonham influence
Awesome 😎
They cut the hell out of the solo...listen to the uncut version, if you haven't already.
Guys like this song better than girls. I guess we appreciate great music.

How about Wither by Circus Maximus…you won’t be sorry
Tony Harnell was the best , then.
Before auto tune
Tony harnell is better singer live. Unlike most
