Just days after the release of The Answer‘s latest album, lead singer Cormac Neeson sat down for a radio interview to discuss the band’s journey and the unforgettable moment when rock legend Paul Rodgers declared them ‘the best band since Free.’
Neeson reminisced about the experience of playing alongside Rodgers at the Royal Albert Hall in London, a memory he still cherishes deeply. In the radio interview, Neeson shared the awe he felt when his rock God Paul Rodgers joined The Answer on stage at the Islington Academy in London.
At the event, the band and Rodgers performed a few classic tracks together, which was an exhilarating experience for Neeson and his bandmates. Rodgers’ public endorsement of The Answer as the best band since his own iconic band, Free, left an indelible mark on Neeson’s memory and further solidified their place in the rock world.
Cormac Neeson’s words about his rock God read:
“We went one step better than that. I wonder if we had our own show and the Islington Academy in London. I think it was Paul appeared at the center of the stage and got up and did a couple of songs, three songs, with the band. I think we did ‘I’m A Mover’ and ‘Fire And Water,’ you can imagine what was going through my head at that moment in time with my all-time hero getting up and jamming with my band. I think he ordered the immortal words ‘The Answer, the best band since Free,’ so I think it’s Jack Stone post for that one, but yeah, Paul Rogers, an amazing singer, amazing guy.”
As fans eagerly await the upcoming tour, The Answer is poised to make an even greater impact in the world of rock music. With the blessing of a legend like Paul Rodgers and the drive to keep pushing boundaries, there’s no doubt that the future is bright for this talented and passionate band.
