- For the fifth year in a row, James Hetfield & Kirk Hammett took to the field to perform "The Star-Spangled Banner" during the Fifth Annual Metallica Night with the San Francisco Giants.
James would sing:
Oh, say can you see by the dawn’s early lightah
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming yeaAaAah
Sounds like an enter sandman verse
That would be cool, I wouldn't mind💀
Who else read the yeahaha at the top of their lungs?
@@thewhalenorman lol
Shit made me laugh, I can see singin it just like that too.
I liked that they kept to the traditional melody and did not go off in tangents like so many guitarists. Nice chords and harmony also. And yes, the wah was fine and complimented the tone and song.
yea I thought they did an amazing job, personally I really liked the version jimi hendrix did and at 1:27 it reminded me of the version he did
room lisn
Personally I kind of prefer the anti war Hendrix version. I'd prefer a closer to the melody version but the sounds of bombs rockets machine gun fire and death wails are a nice touch about what it truly costs to be free.
Hundo. Kirk lays the normal song, James weaving in and out masterfully.
If Kirk didn’t have the wah then he would have been shot
a metal rock band playing the national anthem on electric guitars at a baseball game may be the most American thing ever
a pickup truck would make the scene even more American
And a bald eagle
and a m16, m4a1 carbine, and a m1911.
And some guy rolling up in a semi full of beer.
And a dodge challenger doing a burnout in the background
James is thinking, “Did he HAVE to bring that f***ing wah pedal?”
It works with the song stop bitching
@@ayelmao1224 lmao it was a joke, everyone loves the wah pedal
@@ayelmao1224 nobody cares about you.

Slash did the same when he played the anthem
Worth it!
This is so true tho
Who's kirks favorite Nintendo character?

I'm crying 😂
Are u the joker?
WAHt an Performance
GuitarFreak ahhhh I see WAHt u did there 😂👌🏼
James Talaro WAHt are you talking about?
GuitarFreak I love you and hate you at the same time
Lololol
😂😂😂
I happened to be there that night and what's so cool is that not only did they play the anthem but everything was branded Metallica. The scoreboard was was all decked out, all the cups and the food containers, the programs, they had special sweatshirts you could buy, there was a meet and greet, everything. It was really well done and a total surprise from my wife (which made it even more special). I love these guys and have for almost 40 years.
It’s badass. What Hetfield is doing underneath, with those passing chords and harmonies, I just love that. That’s the Hetfield epicness.
just lurking in the backstage making epic chug harmonies "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH" .... "YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!"
These guys are top notch. Beautiful blend of harmony and crunch and still respectful to the original song. Two of of my favorite guitar players
Metallica: "Yeah we could play without bass line. We could play without drum. We could play without pedal boards...But we can't play without Wah."
Kirk*
This is better than practically every singer nowadays.
They only played guitar though. They didn’t sing.
@@mrbem918 I know that. I'm not that dumb. I wasn't comparing their singing to other national anthem singers when they weren't singing. I was just explaining my opinion on singers nowadays being trash and warping the national anthem while this just seems like a genuine American way to play it just like the trumpets sometimes.
This looks like an episode from idiocracy
@@nicolausteslaus?
@@ARandomInternetUser08
Guitar army. From the movie.
1988: no bass
2017: no bass AND drum
2025: no
2030:

:
1988: No bass
2017: No bass, Drum and vocal
Wow, James harmony leads and chords are spot on! This was a great guitar duet!!
He is one the very best rythm guitar players ever. Hes always had a great sense of harmony. This is also a pretty easy song to do this with.
@@juicycantona350 I definitely agree!
yeah that's called learning the song
@@juicycantona350 lol one of the best...
@@stukjeappel2000 you’re an idiot
I would’ve shit myself if at the end they started playing smoke on the water
Simeon Clark dude your comment made my night
Best comments I've read in years😂😂😂 thank you man
Why
I don’t think they know how to bruh, that’s a difficult song
@@foo4508 I dont think that 55 33 55 is anything hard bruh
I’m not even American and that anthem give me chills especially on guitar.
_"name a more iconic duo... I'll wait"_
Hetfield and Alcoholism
Bass and And Justice For All. Oh wait, nevermind
Germany and Italy
KK downing and Glenn Tipton
Ozzy and randy Rhoads
Me & Yo Mama
1:43 I love that noise kirk makes with it
I think James plays a power chord and Kirk plays a note for that chord called 5th . That 9th played from Kirk adds and armony sound to the chord that`s James. Really sounds great!!!!
W a h
Wah power babeh
Some great Americans! Love it! I’m a retired veteran of the greatest Navy the world has ever seen. This makes my skin stand at attention!!
Hetfield: I was born for this.
Hammett: I'm dying plz halp
This cracked me up. I was thinking the same thing. The look on Kirk's face...
1:26 Here master of puppets could start perfectly
That's seriously one of the best versions I've ever heard live of the National Anthem.
wah em all
ride the wah
master of wah
... and justice for wah
black wah
wah
re wah
st wah
wah magnetic
hardwah to self wah
Papa Emeritus IV come on people now this is a called a true Kirk joke...needs more like..good job dude..
Papa Emeritus IV hey papa when are you releasing the next album??
actually "black wah" is called WAHtallica
Papa Emeritus IV Wherever I May Wah
Wah is an impression we malaysian do when we are impressed
These guys are absolutely classy! Notice how they stayed true to the heart of the composition? WELL DONE GUYS!!!
James and Kirk: Starts playing the national anthem
Kirk half way through: *Master of Puppets solo*
This is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard
@Daniel P i see WAH you did there
Simple. Clean. Respectful.
Great jobs guys.
Wah
Wah
Yeah
Where have I been!! Another BEAUTIFUL performance by some very talented artists!! Wow!!😮,Vic.
They look like two 17 year olds at their high school talent show 😂😂😂😂
Minus the grey hair🤣🤣🤣🤣
And they sound like some boys from elementary school competition.
OMG. Stop with the bad attacks!
Lars is missing thats why 😄
@@zockerhdgarantiert but lars is shit
Kirk looks like he's wearing pajama pants
They by far have the best harmonies together as two guitarist for any band out there
Dave Murry and Adrian Smith too. Iron Maiden. 🤘
HAPPY FORTH OF JULY YALL 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
1:19 That sound, omg😎
Inverted fifths \m/
Ikr
It's basically a power chord but with an added octave for the 5th below the root. The fingering is the same as a power chord starting on the A string, just also put your index finger over the low E. It's a neat way to make your power chords nastier.
Stacked fifths are something else
this has gotta be one of the coolest videos out there
What I like vs other versions from guitarists, is they turned it into a song with no ego moments. Such pros. It's a ballgame, not a concert and this really fit the moment.
Telling Kirk to leave the pedal is like telling James to leave the explorer. When you're the metal God, you can call the shots. Until then, shut up and bow.
thats not an explorer
xxcringelordmasterxx69xx modeled after the explorer
thats snakebyte
i can see it now
The Boshy yes, it's snakebyte but hetfield has played explorer based shapes for majority of his career. All his customs aside from the iron cross are some sort of explorer
These guys have mastered harmony
At this rate, they're gonna have to surgically remove that wah pedal from Kirk's foot before it _becomes_ the wah pedal.
And yes, I know he's not the only guitarist who uses it, nor am I implying he shouldn't, I'm just pointing it out. This still sounds good regardless.
Lord of Fire Kirk Wahmett
Dude have you listened to zakk wylde he adores the wah
So you admitted, that your comment is pointless, basically.
Yes they will! 😂😂😂
Bro will be buried with a wah pedal down at his feet
This is THE BEST version form or composition of this that I've ever heard, I often come back just to listen to it 🇺🇲
Excellent I absolutely loved it thank you guys!!!
The most beautiful, most powerful and most badass US national anthem version I've ever heard!
I wish at the ending, Lars and Rob magically appeared, drums and bass ready, and they all bust out classics like Ride the Lightning or Master of Puppets.
If we're gonna use magic, go for broke and resurrect Cliff.
This looks scarier than preforming on a stage
They played to 600,000 plus people in Russia. This has got to feel pretty chill for them
@@juicycantona350 1.6 million*
Now THAT is how it should be played! Bravo! 👏 👏 👏 👏
Normally, you're supposed to take your hats off during this, but Kirk's too much of a badass for that.
They could take their dicks out during the anthem for all I care lol, the custom is stupid anyway.
Party Van! You are actually the one who would love Cuba. Mindless nationalists fit it perfect there. 😊
James: we’re going to play the national
Kirk: wah
James: anthem at a
Kirk: wah wah
James: baseball
Kirk: wah
James: game
Kirk: WAH
James: *sighs* fine, you can bring the wah
Kirk: waaaaaaaah ok let’s go
This made me smile. God bless Metallica and the United States of America.
Have some faith
Why didn't Kirk take his hat off?!?! 😂
you only need to take it off ..when you listen .. not when you play it
derherberter What I take from it is that its a reminder to take a step back and have some respect for the country which is allowing you the freedom to enjoy a sports game. Because even with things like the pledge and national anthem, basically everyone still takes this country for granted, Me included.
looks like the camera guy at the end had it on
NIssan Silvia this anthem is awesome and all, I just wish he took that hat off. I know it wasn't intentional, but still he should have taken it off. It's respect.
You people need to chill out. He's playing the national anthem. End of story.
I love this country, I love this song, and I love metallica!
Goosebumps every time!
Of all the celeb guitarists playing the Natinal Anthem, Their humble yet very clever two guitars arrangement is my favorite.
The most metal anthem rendition of all time 🤘🏼
James snd Kirk played this masterfully. Kirk as usual was awesome
0:33 It sounds so mighty
James and kirk is enough to bring the melody out of their mind ..
And no doubt the spectators already acknowledged the tune the came to them.
Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air
Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say, does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
wah wah waaah wah wah waaaaaah, wah wah waaaah wah waaah waaaaaaaah.. xD
It needed more wah in my opinion.
LMFAO
Needs more wah bell
Beautiful, no noodling necessary, pure taste.
Kirk: is out of his element
James: completely in his element
0:18 that harmonization
🇬🇧That gave me goosebumps on the other side of the pond !!!
Robert and Lars?
hot dog stand
Marilyn Tobar Lars threw out the first pitch, Rob called "Play Ball!"
Or someone else's.
steve The sun sings BEST COMMENT 2K17
Play Russian anthem in Dania
Very cool rendition without straying away from basics. The way the extended the ending piece was very tasteful. Good job overall
The wahtional anthem \m/
James and Kirks doodle
Best thing I’ve heard in a while
1:44 gave me chills
God bless America, and for the peace to the world.
James Hetfield and Kirk "Wah" Hammett*
Fantastically done I think.
I feel like I'm the only person that literally likes every song Metallica has written,
St Anger album?
The one time metallica made me cry
God bless America!
James definetly wanted to play some master after playing this 1:58 😂
May god bless America and good music 🇺🇸 🎸
The most American thing to ever cross my screen. Still brings a tear to my eye
Kirk: Wah pedal for every song.
Pretty good, not enough “Yeah”s from James tho
0:32 this is too good! Saving this! God bless America!
never before have i seen a man so badass as James Hetfield
How come Kirk showed up in his pj's :P
AJ B I don't know why I laughed so hard to this 😂😂😂
James was wanting rock it so hard. That was awesome work by both.
1:07 Look at James
Imagine a baby in his right hand with an open oven infront of him
It would have costed you $0 to not say that
Thanks
Wtf dude
Bruh
OMG xD
Where's the "Yeah-eah!"?
Favorite band since I first heard them while I was playing Mortal Kombat. They clicked because right when Scorpions spear connected, the second he pulled my opponent to me I hear the line “pulling your strings” from the jukebox (a jukebox is an iPod the size of a refrigerator. A refrigerator is where you kept food in the before time) And it was love ever since. ^.^
I think that was great and did the amazing national anthem justice !!!
1:20 that chord James played sounds so cool
F#5 is the chord
Juicy Cantona :)
A power chord really, Metallica fans smh
@@patientmental875 not everyone plays guitar or is a musician
“Please rise for our national anthem”
“SAY YOUR PRAYERS LITTLE ONE…”
Kirk is playing with an upside down headstock, Hendrix style. Nice!
His ESP headstock has always looked like that. Similar to Jackson's or ibanez
One word... Superb...
I'm not going to lie I cried when I listened to this it's so damn beautiful
Good when every people from every back ground, from every ideology , from rich famous and simple and poor in America Love the National Anthem . 🇺🇸🙏
[ W A H J O K E ]
Powerful! Thanks Guys!!!!
Now THATS how it’s done!
This Thing Right here. Is FUCKING ROCKING!
So... Lars And Robert Are Not Americans? Sad But True...
Lars is danish and Rob is from Mexico
@@gabziu3161 I thought Rob was brazilian
@@dacktov He is Mexican
@@dacktov i think

Lovely and beautiful God bless MetallicA and God bless America 🇺🇸
