He played some amazing solos over the steady bass/drum/keyboard section. There was also room for an instrumental in the middle of the set that allowed guitarist Ronni Le Tekrø to show his incredible guitar abilities. It was like this line-up had played together since the start in 1982, even though The New Territory was the first TNT studio album for both bass player Victor Borge and vocalist Tony Mills. He seemed steadfast and fit the band like a glove. As they played such classic TNT songs like “As Far As The Eye Can See” and “Intuition,” it became clear that Mills doesn’t lack the high-pitched voice of Tony Harnell as some people thought before the concert. The band seemed in great shape and sounded even tighter than they did on the first tour with Tony Mills on vocals. They started their set with “Invisible Noise” from their 2004 release My Religion and continued with “Something Special” from their latest release The New Territory (2007).

Zakk continued the show with a guitar solo intro to “Suffering Overdue.” With three songs from last year’s release, Shot To Hell, and the rest from great Black Label Society classics like “Suicide Messiah,” “Fire It Up,” and “Stillborn” (though without Ozzy on stage) made the set a dream come true for Black Label Society fans. His voice sounded great too and the guitar solos were spot-on. Zakk Wylde seemed to have a great time and enjoyed himself on stage. Black Label Society sounded great and the crowd seemed to be well into it too. “New Religion” was followed by “Been A Long Time” from Mafia (2005). Black Label Society is currently the warm-up band for Ozzy Osbourne on this tour, and was therefore a natural booking choice for the festival.Ī great banner with Black Label Society’s logo was placed in front of the stage and fell down as the piano intro from “New Religion” (off their 2006 release Shot To Hell) shifted into a heavy guitar riff as the band started playing. The first band to appear on the stage was Black Label Society. Black Label Society Photo by Kristian Singh-Nergård ![]() It makes one wonder if people were there for the music or the beer! Ozzy Osbourne was this year’s headliner and gave the crowd a great Heavy Metal evening along with Black Label Society and TNT. There were some administrative troubles though, like people complaining on missing out on the music because they had to spend two hours in line to buy beer. As the festival began, the tickets were completely sold out. This year the festival had only one stage and the venue was Lerkendal Stadion (the home of Norway’s greatest soccer team Rosenborg BK) and 15,000 tickets were for sale. The festival only lasted for one day, but the goal is to make the festival an annual event, and when it’s well established, the festival will last for 2-3 days and will take place at several venues in Trondheim. This was the first edition of the Trondheim Rock Festival in Norway. All photos by Kristian Singh-Nergård The Festival ![]()
