"Renegade" is the title track from the eleventh studio album by Irish band Thin Lizzy, released in 1981. This is one of my very favorite tracks one of my very favorite Thin Lizzy albums. So glad to have finally gotten around for something for this very fantastic, yet very overlooked track. Sparky has reworked the audio and I'm just smiling because this is the best I've ever heard the song sound since my vinyl days. Please like, share and comment to help the video find traction (and support me doing more)...and if you want to see another track from the Renegade album, please select one of the four choices from the community poll asap? Thanks all! Hand-timed CC lyrics! PLAY LOUD!

Renegade was the second and final album to feature guitarist Snowy White. By his own admission, White was more suited to playing blues than heavy rock and he quit by mutual agreement the following year. "Renegade" began as a reworking of an idea of Snowy White's from earlier in the year with the title "If You Save Souls". On leaving the studio for a break, Lynott saw a biker with the Thin Lizzy and Motörhead logos on his jacket. Also on the man's jacket was the word "Renegade", which inspired Lynott to rewrite "If You Save Souls" as "Renegade", giving him the idea for the album title at the same time. Lynott was also inspired by reading "The Rebel" by Albert Camus. "It sort of came in a blinding flash: the idea of there being a rebel in us all," he said. "Renegade" was co-written by Snowy White with most of the lead guitar played by him. New producer Chris Tsangarides remembered: "That was mostly all Snowy on "Renegade". The whole style of the song was really him." He added that this was the song which needed most work at the time he took over the co-producer role. White has named it as his favorite Thin Lizzy song.

Greg Prato of AllMusic claimed that Renegade is Thin Lizzy's worst album, with "blatant pop leanings and a production too similar to British heavy metal bands of the early '80s", blaming Snowy White's incompatibility with the group, Lynott's "flat vocals" and the band's drug problems. On the contrary, Canadian journalist Martin Popoff praised the album for its superb production and the professional state-of-the-art sound, calling Renegade "an absolute masterpiece of deeply soulful and richly textured hard rock", whose "fullness and maturity tend to emerge only when played repeatedly".

Co-producer Chris Tsangarides said later, "When I hear the Renegade album now, I get it... I think it was maybe ahead of its time. It was just too diverse for people to accept when it was first released. If you listen to it you'll notice that no one song on there is like another."

About the audio:
The best sounding high bit source track was selected and further fine-tuned to perfection by resident AudioGuruSparky! It sounds phenomenal, relative to other versions I've heard.

About the video:
I've many Lizzy vids already, and have many more I'd like to get around to eventually..."Renegade" was always going to be my next effort for something by the group and I'm happy that the long delay between last and new video has at least resulted is something better than I could have have hoped to achieve before having AI tools. After starting to work up scenes for this video, I realized that I could easily shift the work into something for "The Boys are Back in Town", which would likely be much more popular because it's much more well-known song, but in the end I stuck with one of my primary philosophies and reasons for the channel in the first place...that is, to bring some attention to lesser known tracks that are imo equally great or even better than the more well known hits, and Thin Lizzy's "Renegade" is definitely deserving of more recognition as it's such a fantastic song that never got it's full due. After video was finished, I found there was promo vid for the song...which I never knew about or had forgotten or I would have mashed that video with this effects one....damn, I might have to find a few hours to do re-edit if I can find a good source for the promotional video? Hope you enjoy the effort!

[Lyrics]
He's just a boy, that has lost his way
He's a rebel that has fallen down
He's a fool that's blown away
To you and me he's a renegade
He's a clown that we put down
He's a man that doesn't fit
He's a king but not in this town
To you and me he's a renegade
But he is a king when he's on his own
He's got a bike and that's his throne
And when he rides he's like the wind
To you and me he's a renegade
He's just a boy that has lost his sights
He's a stranger, prowls the night
He's a devil, that's right
To you and me he's a renegade
Check it out, check his face
Look in his eyes, they're so sly
I wonder why he cries on the inside
I wonder why he's a renegade
Oh please, I'm on my begged, bended knees
Oh please, please heed my call
He's just a boy that has lost his way
He's just a boy, that's all

One of my favourite compositions by Thin Lizzy. Very sad composition about nonconformist, while it's basically about Phil Lynott himself, but about so many more outsiders. I'm relistening it sometimes.
