10 Songs By The Answer You Need To Listen To

2. Long Live The Renegades

I'm not gonna lie, there is one massive reason that you should be listening to this song. The solo

Putting that to the side for a minute, the whole song itself if a piece of modern rock art. Anyone who listens to rock music probably thinks of themselves as a bit of a renegade, so most people can already easily relate to the lyrics. The track follows the usual, tried and tested pattern of The Answer. Solid intro, bassey verse, loud and engaging chorus, phenomenal solo and a strong ending. If it ain't broke don't fix it as they say.

You could listen to this on repeat all day and not get bored, and with this being the first song of the album it sets the tone wonderfully, letting you know that The Answer are back, and they're here to rock us to our core once again.

But back to this guitar solo, and oh my days, what a f****** solo! Anyone that knows about guitar solos knows that a truly astounding solo should be like a story. A strong intro, a stronger middle and a great ending.

This solo is all of that and it highlights another massive selling point of The Answer, Paul Mahon their lead guitarist. With so many guitarists out there, and so many having been before, it's increasingly more difficult to make yourself stand out. With his signature sound, lick based riffs, and passionate solos, Paul Mahon is the 21st-century guitar hero that we all need.
