'One day the tortured will stand up and kick some ass!'" Music video Filmed in January 1984 in London, the song's music video consists of clips of the band performing the song onstage intercut with scenes of a wrecking ball taking down a clock tower and scenes with fans of the band headbanging against the wall of the tower. ...

Renegade (Styx Song)
"Renegade" is a 1979 hit song recorded by the American rock band Styx on their ''Pieces of Eight'' album.

When performed live from 1978 to 1983, drummer John Panozzo increased the tempo of the drum pattern during the guitar solo sections. Also, the track would serve as the drum solo spot for Panozzo during that time frame.
