He started playing the drums at the age of 15, and played in bands like Burn, Edge and Hotlips before he formed TNT together with vocalist Dag Ingebrigtsen in 1982.[3] Dahl played on the first three TNT albums and co-wrote their biggest hit, "10,000 Lovers (In One)", before he parted ways with the band in the fall of 1987.[4][2] The following year he formed the band TinDrum, which had a number 1 hit in Norway with "Drums of War".[5][6]
In the early 1990s Dahl joined the local Hells Angels motorcycle club in Trondheim and became a spokesperson for the chapter.[7][2] Throughout the 1990s he played in various bands, such as Diesel Dahl & Friends and Diezel, before he officially reunited with TNT in 2000.[8][2] He left Hells Angels in 2005.[9][10]
