God bless America . It's a privilege just to see my American flag every time I get up in the morning and all the blood brothers that have risked their lives , thank you entirely much ! 🇺🇸
I finished my second tour overseas once to Iraq and now in Afghanistan and Zakk Wylde one of my favorite guitarists in the professional world played this for his fellow Americans and expressed his Respect for Us. Thankyou Utube and Zakk Wylde I would love to be a part of Black Label Society if i only had one of those Vests i would wear it proudly. SGT.DOTSONDAVIDM.
This version has more noise in it than music... i respect the guy for being good at his trade and jam'n this out for the Vets. and as a Vet myself... Thank you. Mr. Zakk Wylde.
I dont care how its played,the song is great and I love my country so much! I will take it how ever it is dished out. Support our great country . I am free to call it like I see it and so are you!
GOD BLESS! THANK YOU, PAL! THANK YOU, VETS AND ALL MEMBERS OF EVERY BRANCH OF SERVICE! THANK YOU, ALL EMERGENCY AND FIRST RESPONSE WORKERS! again, thanks, bud.
despite the critisism, I think its awsome. thankful for the people that are thankful for us. brings a tear to any soldiers eye to know we are apreciated. thank you Zakk.
slash and metalica do it really clean ...I like this version and jimmy's ...its more what rock is about when you play a heart felt song like this...great job ..enjoyed it a lot
Funny how everybody commenting on here is talking about how Zakk looks bad or that they didn't like the way he played the Star Spangled Banner. It seems as if none of you have noticed he played this song the way he did becuase hes showing his support for our troops, the same troops who fight for our freedom, I bet if you ask any Marine, Army, Navy, or Air Force troop who has watched this video they appreciate his support playing our country's song and showing the troops his support.
thanks brother, you rock and we the troops appriciate you. these negative comments are washed away by the good will and love of people like you. thanks for your suport. it means more than you can ever image.
his rendition is exactly the way he feels it should sound.. its his interpretation of the American National Anthem... remember? where we are free to interpret. I personally fell it was very good.. it sounds very American..
Some things can only be done once, and Hendrix did that in 69'. Not even Hendrix himself could replicate that magic moment in time if he was still around today.
to those defending zakk. keep in mind, this is the national anthem. yes, zakk does these effects all the time, i understand that, but you can't play the national anthem and then show off as much as you possibly can just because you know how to. you have to play it with some respect and class. it's just downright selfish if you show off with a zillion and one effects because you can... this song is not about who can show off the most, it's about our country. everyone who overdoes this, including
They have different models of the Zakk Wyld guitars. It's for the various types of buyers with either little or lots of cash. They have to look at the age group of the typical Zakk fan and if they want or can afford the more expensive lines. Personally, I think having the "signature" guitars when it is usually just a different paint job and pickup selection is kind of silly. It still doesn't sound the same as the record because there are amps, settings, picking, cabinet miking, etc.
@NewbPhil again, your opinion is your opinion. i know what sounds good to me, and i have my own opinions about what makes the national anthem sound good, and obviously i am not the only one on this video that thought zakk didn't do a good job of playing the national anthem. having an opinion doesn't make me a snob. and i never said plain. you can still be classy without being overzealous and still making it sound awesome. that's what makes something musical. you are right when you say you
@ToadLick True - but he was legally coerced into doing so, seeing as he twice was tried and found guilty for riding in a stolen vehicle, and it was either the army or jail... and he also was apparently not a very good soldier. either... and indicated his displeasure of the military service in interviews... and was by all accounts a devout pacifist in his professional life... I mean, I'm not really sure what your point is, but one thing that is for sure, Jimi was no militarist.
I've been in the Army for almost 16 years. Six deployments to some really shitty places. This is the most motivating shit I've ever heard...EVER.
Demian LaChance thanks for your service sir
Demian LaChance thank you for your service, sir, mad respect from Northern Guard Canada

IT IS THE GREATEST SONG. And it's about damn time for EVERYONE to take pride in our great nation.
Amazing, great performance, and Zakk adds his own style to It...
Great tribute to our troops. Also a great tribute to our country, played on a guitar made & given to Zakk by Dimebag! FKN awesome!
Does the cross, drinks a beer, gives support for the troops, and plays the National Anthem.
THAT is American right there.
God Bless America!
It doesnt get any more American then Zakk Wylde. Wild as he is it embodies the American Spirit. Freedom ya! Thanks to all the troops!

I come back to this nearly every 4 July. Great performance! Just the right amount of embellishment without going overboard. ❤
Them octaves with the rotary speaker is just perfect
His guitar
Is literally a mix between an Sg and a Flying V. Tony Iommi and Randy Rhoads? Is anybody with me on this
I think it’s just destiny
@@user-ne6nz2lb6w yeah
Tony top, Randy bottom, Dime headstock, Zakk colors
Zakk logic: "If I get drunk i'll play it better!!!"
Dime logic too
If I am high I ll play better
It's true

Funny how everybody commenting on here is talking about how Zakk looks bad or that they didn't like the way he played the Star Spangled Banner.

if you're not a veteran... go enlist today... this song is for veterans, Zakk said so himself.... Thank you Zakk. We appreciate you too.
👊👊👊
uh, no thanks
I'd rather not get fucked by Hajis for oil
I remember Zakk as a shy young man playing Devil's daughter in the late 80s.
My, he has grown some😅👍
i love his vibrato
thanks brother, you rock and we the troops appriciate you. these negative comments are washed away by the good will and love of people like you. thanks for your suport. it means more than you can ever image.
Right on, Zakk!
great job bro.keep rocken
that guitar is amazing!
greatest song played by the greatest player
Awesome close to Hendrix with a little of his on style.
Oh Zach. You and Ted Nudgent are true rock and roll Americans.
Great job Zakk!! We salute you!!
I don't think this guy could stop being such a bad ass if he tried. The power is in the beard.
@ToadLick yup he was in the 187th rakkasans, my buddie had his room with the mural he had painted.
i love how all these people are saying shit bout him and i garuntee half of them have never touched a guitar
Ok and? That's fine lol. They don't need to play guitar to not like it or criticize it dumbass
Pentex Sucks 2+ jesus this comment is eight years old
@@Iespauljr yeah, this video is 10 years old and people still comment on it. Don't care about age
Pentex Sucks 2+ oh and yes you need to play guitar to properly criticize someone like zakk wylde
@@Iespauljr some criticisms are about his tone. You do NOT need to play guitar to not like that.
Zakk fuckin Wylde tearing it up. Cause 'Merica!! SDMF!
Awesome
his rendition is exactly the way he feels it should sound.. its his interpretation of the American National Anthem... remember? where we are free to interpret. I personally fell it was very good.. it sounds very American..
Zakk Wylde is a Great American!
JAMMIN THE DEAN!!!! Heall yeah! I love his Gibsons too
Nice! 👌👍🤘
zakk seems like a really cool/nice dude. everyone else try's to act like there shit don't stink but he seems pretty awesome
Some things can only be done once, and Hendrix did that in 69'.
Not even Hendrix himself could replicate that magic moment in time if he was still around today.
To Zakk- as a Vet Thank You- You chose to play the National Anthem. I wish more people would play it by choice not because it gets them on TV.
tears of AWESOME!!!!
this is about a million times better than Slash's will ever be.
jimmi loves it
What a stud!
ZAKK RULES THE STRINGS!
seeing this makes me want a moder pictch box mini pedal....
to those defending zakk. keep in mind, this is the national anthem. yes, zakk does these effects all the time, i understand that, but you can't play the national anthem and then show off as much as you possibly can just because you know how to. you have to play it with some respect and class. it's just downright selfish if you show off with a zillion and one effects because you can... this song is not about who can show off the most, it's about our country. everyone who overdoes this, including
@rolipolirocks he WAS in the ozzy band
Rock Hard Salute to the Troops....
@milok337 He's a heavy metal guitarist, those are the effects he usually uses.
i love zakk wylde man but he just has too much ditsrorted sounds gonig on in this one..
That’s what makes it so freaking heavy. And I freaking dig it
Its how he played it at the denver nuggets game in 09
@Makksor It was to support the troops asking them to come back
this dude has class
Zakk rules . I play it with a smaller amp , and a guitar i made 22 years ago . Lets jam

God bless!!
this is the Best! seen them all. ZAKK#1
@loknloll Gibson did make one for him. I guess this was before then
the troops... without them we would sleep much better at night.
God Bless Zakk Wylde
love zach hes the best
If you love him you'd know he doesn't spell it Zach he spells it ZAKK
There's alot of national anthem versions for the guitar with different guitarist, but there is only one Star Sprangeled Banner! JIMI HENDRIX!
Zakk Wyldes that viking you DON'T fuck with. Even if you're crazy enough to fuck with a viking in the first place ;)
BADASS
@lazypookie hes IN the ozzy band...
bad ass guitar player
@NewbPhil again, your opinion is your opinion. i know what sounds good to me, and i have my own opinions about what makes the national anthem sound good, and obviously i am not the only one on this video that thought zakk didn't do a good job of playing the national anthem. having an opinion doesn't make me a snob. and i never said plain. you can still be classy without being overzealous and still making it sound awesome. that's what makes something musical. you are right when you say you
This is as close as we can get to someone like Dimebag to play this.
