Miscellanea

The song "Soldier of the Light" was never meant for the album. It was a demo from the Realized Fantasies sessions and was put on Firefly because the Japanese record company liked it so much. Realized Fantasies is the fifth studio album by the Norwegian Hard rock band TNT.
They opened their live shows with "Only the Thief" as an intro before lanching into "Somebody Told You" with Tony Harnell doing the first lines of the songs lyrics before Le Tekro opened with the songs riff.
Rumour has it that the vocals for "Heavens Gone" is "off beat" or not in "tempo" with the song as they had originally planned it.
Angels Ride has previously been reported as Tony Harnell's favorite TNT song, or one of them.
