![]() Andrew from Birmingham, United StatesThis song is interesting.and then BAM! it explodes into awesomeness. it starts out all mysterious and quiet, almost like the beginning of Bohemian Rhapsody. Melanie from Seattle, Wathis song is so cool. ![]() ![]() ![]() Suzannah from Williamsport, MdI love this s so unforgettable.Jimmy from Rolla, MoStyx is an amazing band and this song simply backs that up.Kristin from Heflin, Althis is one of my all time fav songs! this and miss america are my fav styx songs!!.It also makes me think of Freaks and Geeks! Great show! Nicole from Chicago, IlMy dad sang this when I was little, and I'd always tell him to stop because I was afraid of hangmen.Erikka from Buckeye, AzI love everything about this song! The beats, the harmony, everything!.I have had the pleasure of standing directly in front of Tommy on many occations when they perform this song and WOW, I am blown away every time. Mia from Syracuse, NyI love this song and when Styx does it live the crowd goes nuts.Mia from Syracuse, NyI want to add that James Young does play the lead guitar solo in this son because when Tommy wrote it, he asked Tommy if he could play it because he loved how hardcore it rocked!.Renegade could be an autobiographical song about the kids showing up at the peoples store (Gatelys)or the Fenger vs CVS games at Gately stadium.back in the day of course. Anyone know where you can see a video of Styx aka TW4 doing "Earl of Roseland". Linda from Chicago, IlLoved TW4 on various Sunday nights at Mendel HS dances.It is played in the 3rd quarter and makes the crowd go insane. It dates back to 2001 the steelers came back from a 21 point deficit after the song was played. Billy from Columbus, OhThis song is played at every Steelers game.Then the Eagles-worthy harmonizing came in. when i first heard it, I didn't like the au cappella intro. Robin from Rockville, MdChase, my man - The term is "a cappella," not "au cappella." And what do you mean you "didn't like it"? Styx was one of the very few bands who COULD pull off an a cappella section, with their smooth, close harmonies."Renegade" is now the final encore of their live shows, and the Steelers have adopted the song for their home games, and I have heard of it being played at Penguins games, as well. However, as they re-worked it, Dennis suggested Tommy sing the intro a capella (losing the 3-part harmony) and JY grew to like the song so much as a huge rocker that he asked Tommy if he could do the guitar solo. Cheryle from Columbus, OhWhen Tommy originally wrote this, it was more of a dirge, with minor keys and heavy 3-part harmony.This kind of "nod" is common among musicians and considered a compliment. Bob from Farmington Hills, MiNear the end of the song Dennis DeYoung quotes the organ riff from Edgar Winter's classic instrumental "Frankenstein".īetween 19 the Chicago quintet had twenty-three Top 100 records eight made the Top 10 with one reaching #1 "Babe" for two weeks on December 2nd, 1979. Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn March 11th 1979, "Renegade" by Styx entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at position #73 and on June 3rd, 1979 it peaked at #16.Anonymous from MnI love that song so much.It proved especially effective during the 2008 season that culminated with the Steelers Super Bowl XLIII win. After that game, it became a regular feature and a tactical tool - the coaches will sometimes call for it in key situations. That season, with the team down 24-7 in a playoff game against the Cleveland Browns, the song ignited the Steelers, who came back to win. This was in 2001, when the Steelers moved to a new stadium: Heinz Field. Fueled by Styx-powered adrenaline, the defense often makes stand, setting the stage for a strong finish.Ī team marketing assistant named Mike Marchinsky suggested the song after listening to the Styx Greatest Hits album on his way to work. As the song builds, the fans and players get hyped up, going into a frenzy when the scream comes in and the track picks up. This is a huge song for the Pittsburgh Steelers football team, which typically plays it in the second half when the team is on defense, accompanied by a jumbotron video designed to pump up the crowd.
