Slash playing the star spangled banner

[WarriorGoalie06]

Why are slash and jimi even being compared... They are two totally different people with two totally different playing styles and different interests in music..

[NSLbA4s3BaLL]

I dont think he was trying to copy Hendrix in any way, shape, or form.

[provemewrong23]

hendrix owns slash hendrix was just way at the top all on his own don't get me wrong slash is great but jimi is the greatest of all time legendary. slash will never be as big as hendrix

[KronSnatchels]

Slash's improv is not the best, but he is still badass.

[jalobeaulieu1]

Slash is what Hendrix does to his strings. Rip JH

[orionorion99]

JIMI WAS MAKING HIS GUITAR SOUND LIKE THE DEATHS OF VIETNAM AND USA! THE BOMBS EXPLODING JETS SHRIEKIING PEOPLE DIEING SCREAMING

IN SLASHES VERSION I HEAR NONE OF THAT YOU NEW LISTENERS OF HENDRIX SHOULD GO AND LISTEN TO HENDRIX NOW THAT U KNOW WHAT IT PROTRAYED ..IT WAS A VERY BRAVE POLITICAL ACT AT WOODSTOCK IN 1969 AND LUCKILY FOR YOUR "OCCUPY MOVEMENT GENERATION" LIKE MINE AND GENIUS JIMI HENDRIK of the 60's YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR WORLD.PS WHAT KIND OF PIE ?OCCUPY ..

[dredlord47]

@BuxbaumBoxer Slash is a great gitarist don't get me wrong but Hendrix is THE BEST GITARIST TO EVER LIVE!!!!!!!

[BuxbaumBoxer]

@dredlord47

I don't think so, comparing Slash and Hendrix is like comparing apples and bananas.

Everyone has his own opinion, and only because Hendrix played this before him, he is not better.

And i think Slash is better, because his technic is brilliant and his version is not so dirty like Hendrix'.

[ontheedge1987]

he does exist

[matthewwatson70]

Whoever ThomasBSenior is they can kill theirself

[macantidur]

nice guitar anyway . . .

[antonysapimp]

ITS "vunter slaush"

[passiveMenis]

Drunk retard

[TrollTheGinger]

@TehSilentStudios go to (see all) by all comments, then type: CTRL + F then copy in and press enter: AchillezTheOne

it's simple.

[alkaun123]

@TehSilentStudios The same, haha

[igotacos64]

slash has a very emotional input to his music, thats why when people start comparing slash to say eddie van halen, who has an amazing technical ability, i choose slash due to the fact that you can "feel" his guitar solos, not just hear them

[Jessemays313]

@ThomasBSenior you cant say that. He got all the attention he deserved. When people are huge at one time for him 1987-1992 people dont forget. They build memories around going to highschool college grads and having good times to riffs aside from that hes just an awesome guitarist. Had his own sound. What more you expect?

[evilways456]

hey hes prolly stoned as fuck but who fucking cares i still like it



[ThomasBSenior]

the world's most over rated guitarist!

[BOSSTVNC]

I love Slash, but no hats during the National Anthem. Show respect for those who gave their lives, and serve with their lives everyday.

[wizzid43]

I will not lie, Slash did an excellent version of the Star Spangled Banner. However I do still like Jimi's version more. But Slash comes in at a very close second.

[JoeV1001]

Lame.



[guitarmanmattk]

wat is he standing on?

[deputy1040]

no one does it better than jimi hendrix

[jwesboy]

You need to get a life and probably a JOB!!!

[DenPay]

Not bad.

[Mw2Venom]

thumbs of Slash should be considered one of founding fathers!!!!!!

[bsconboy]

@Mw2Venom he alwredy is

[snippy2]

sorry, big gnr fan, but this is very sloppy with overblown hendrix style FX to make this something it isn't.... this is horrible

[amedina999]

@snippy2 you could probably do better right?

[snippy2]

@amedina999 To directly answer your question honestly, NO, I am beginner on guitar and could only hope to play this one day after many years of improvement. But Slash is a guitar god to me and I'm a shlub watching youtube. But I can still make an observation... having seen him live a number of times I felt like this was just off. When he goes with this FX I just wanted to see more passion and more drama. I suck at guitar and if you liked this more power to ya... art is subjective.

[luixmedia]

Jimi T___T

[flogworth]

that is definitely not one of the best national anthems slash has ever played

[2Dtehelitehnewb]

No one does it better than borat

[TheBadboybrian]

@2Dtehelitehnewb Jimmy Hendrix Smokes this one... Backwards....

[paolomarletta]

very boring

[MrJhbaseball]

@paolomarletta At least he didnt do a bunch of unnesisary crap to ruin it like most people do

[MsPmonkey]

still great though

[MsPmonkey]

jimi's > slash's

[THEFLYINGREDNECK]

@MsPmonkey and randy rhoads > everything on the face of this planet

[gto225]

if anyone wants to see my star spangled banner please

watch?v=3NZJ4Zm0pVA&feature=ch­annel_video_title

[ladytrucka42]

nobody betta than Slash almighty

[mar777ism]

How can anybody dislike this. This dude is cool. You cant compare him and Jimi. That would be totally unfair.

[CosmoMorte]

Why are you guys arguing about Jimi being black?? You DO realize that Slash is not white, right??

[IsRockThe]

@CosmoMorte yh lol

[sabhacker101]

i didnt like axls voice

[johnholmes313]

169 ppl are russians

[tshirtandtieguy]

Jimi is the best at the star spangled banner

[123IN321OUT]

So overrated.

[mrSnipeZA1ot]

i ahve the same guitar

[BlackWinter911]

the spirit of uncle sam is on slash if u can tell

[TheJackflash85]

Nice Version!

[bleman09]

Jimi still the best ever

[RU4BN8OUT]

@bleman09 Jimmy played it well but threw too much shit in...

[skydogelizabeth]

isin't this hrndrix's signature song- real original-this is the sucky version

[HALOPROPRO]

@skydogelizabeth uh... no its the national anthem, not jimis song

[joyhaydon]

Jimi lead the way for Slash. IMHO Slash is the second best guitarist ever...Jimi is still the best because music like his was new on the scene at the time. Everyone else is just trying to be as good as him.

[Trollin4Evar]

you know hes not real right...

[JasonL77]

Comparing Slash to Hendrix is like comparing apples to oranges. Maybe someone who plays guitar can explain this a little better than I can, but, at least to an untrained ear like myself, they have two different styles.

[Enkaged]

slash isn't that great =/.. just has a fancy guitar and plays blues. woopty doo. rebecca black is better.. just saying hahahah

[iron93man]

@Enkaged rebecca black needs to get drug out in the street then shot and run over by a semi

[stall3me]

@iron93man and then raped....

[MrKalashnikov96]

@Enkaged slash isnt a squacky 13 year old telling me about the days of the week slash is a god amongst men that plays a heavenly guitar

[slashroses90]

the difference between this version and hendrix´s version, is that hendrix was imitating bombs, airplanes and shit because of the vietnam, and slash is simply playing the usa national anthem.. as for the guitar players, i prefer slash like a million times over hendrix, it´s my opinion!

[paulgriswold]

Compared to Jimi Hendrix slash is e Beginer!

[MegaShakinah]

OH MAN he is makin that gitar sing!

[BGilly80]

anybody know what year this was

[Msteinebach92]

@BGilly80 2011

[MrsDeagle]

AWESOME Thank you for sharing. ;)

[Dawnteixeira]

@AchillezTheOne. How could you say that Slash sucks? You worthless piece of horseshit. I bet your one of those little fags who listen to bieber(queer). Lemme give you a reality check fucker. Thats not music....or talent......or anything at all. Its just nepotism and money and corruption. Guns n roses is the best band ever to play anything ever. Axl has the fucking greatest vocals and slash is one of the most innovative and awsofuckinmazing guitarists ever. Yes this clip isnt his greatest but to

[Paulie818]

@Dawnteixeira amen fucking horseshit music of today can suck on ma balls

[SuRRePPtiOUsWritings]

@Dawnteixeira get Axl's and Slashs' dick out of your mouth, faggot. Axl is not the greatest vocalist ever and Slash is nowhere near greatest Guitar player ever.

[ript2damaxx]

@Dawnteixeira bieber isnt talented his balls just havent dropped yet... u are completely correct

[uncelmonkey]

@Dawnteixeira i agree with you about slash all the way. but axle sucks.



[MichaelLozano12]

@Dawnteixeira Ok, im a fan of GNR but to say theyre the best band EVER is a bit too much. Theyre great, but not THAT great. and slash is a bit overrated aswell. Hes still one of my favorite guitarists though

[palanticdreams]

@Dawnteixeira

lol i don't know ANYTHING about publicly claiming one band over EVERY OTHER BAND IN HISTORY but okay bro. Music=peace. chill ~

[GreenSLi7]

@TheSoulanum if this is an acid trip then zakks version is like an overdose of thunderball or something - I mean this in a BAD way.

[fragmaka]

My how original...........NOT

[StallionTTT]

Thats not even him

[October241969]

Slash Rocks no matter what he does!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[comoradh]

That's not Slash, Slash would NEVER play a tune that rubbish, c'mon people it's really really crap. That's just a fella with a wig and a hat on playing any old notes that come into his head.

[wranglerkowboy1]

absolutely incredible. and I think the hat added some salute to this great country.

[bleed767]

gotta be drunk



[ifutureman]

Wow. I think Slash is a very talented guitarist. But this just sucks. This is something any guitarist could play after just a couple of years. If some nobody (like me) was up on the platform playing the exact same version, they'd be booed of the stage. And rightly so!

[lunam0547]

@pivot. cause you must be tone deaf you fucking tard. zakk wylde did a pretty job in my own opinion. think whatever you want but I still say you're a fucktard!!

[PivotAmeture08]

He tried to keep it simple, that's what he's done in every national anthem videos, you guys apparently don't do that,

the national anthem is meant to be messed around with and altered MUCH. Which he doesn't do, but Zakk wylde just murdered it. I couldn't even tell that it was the National Anthem.

[hayryry90]

jimi is dead and he wasnt all that great

[axlslash808z]

@hayryry90 What? The fuck you just say? Jimi not great? Holy fuckin shit, you just insulted one of the greatest people who ever picked up a guitar, go crap on a horse.

[JOEXDJOE]

@hayryry90 you asshole ... :D so fuck a horse :D

[stevieholeman]

slash, this is not your best playing, please stick to doing your really awesome solo's and leave this to jimi hendrix and zakk wylde

[justicecarly]

jimi's is much better...sorry slash...

[AchiilezTheOne]

Terrible.

[jdmusselman]

@AchiilezTheOne Fuck you.



[jancivil]

Slash knows how to make the lead guitarist's facial contortions, that's about it. You couldn't be a less innovative player. You could build an automaton to ape lead guitar gestures this apt. What an overrated bunch of nothing.

[dunskie]

@jancivil The biggest poser in Rock and Roll who can barely even play.

[urworstnightmare22]

@jancivil Eh.. I agree he isn't the best but he is definitely a tasteful player. His solos and leads are amazingly hard but they are also melodic and you remember them. He knows how to write good stuff

[a7xfanboylolololol]

@jancivil lets see you make over 10 million dollars from pure talent dumbass, lets see you do better, "poser"

[sporeman1331]

i like both versions though i prefer Jimi's more

[altriego1]

Disappointing

[zTheBigFishz]

slash == way over rated

[Simetra007]

Total epic fail.....sucky...bigtime! And he didn't even take his hat off! Talk about tryin to be a Jimi WANNA BE!!!! I would say "nice try", but it wasn'y even that.

[beckfreak2000]

poor !

[mynameisinsaniac]

Jimi did it better.

[zantoine]

jimi pwns him

[nos0323]

this is so not slash =.=

[megaware2]

very bad 

[MrDrumMaster13]

it sound like a violen

[urworstnightmare22]

@MrDrumMaster13 and that's a bad thing?

[MrDrumMaster13]

@urworstnightmare22 no

[Chippy215Boss]

i like Jimi s better

[NEMESIS1JUSTICE4ALL]

@Chippy215Boss ME TO!!!

[eanielsen123]

@Chippy215Boss Jimi ruined it

[Chippy215Boss]

@eanielsen123 dude Jimi actally put soul into the star spangled banner now just becasue hes black your saying he ruined it what a disgrace you are to humanity

[eanielsen123]

@Chippy215Boss I didnt say anything about Jimi being black you illiterate fucking cuntbag

[MrAlex0262]

I am a great slash fan , but sorry, the best Version of the Star Spangled Banner is still from Jimmy Hendrix !

[evolutionist79]

Literally, my little brother could play that.

[werecrazy100]

I can play slashes version and I love it I'm opening for a motocross race state wide. I'll post it on my channal July 23

[mrslipknot1fan1]

@werecrazy100 cool ill cheack it out

[werecrazy100]

I agree slash is a beast and he plays with passion, however Steve vai is my favorite guitarist, you shouldn't compare :)

[Lamburghini89]

BIN LADEN=DEAD

[KH13JPLAZMA]

@Lamburghini89 how do you know

[Safegold008]

Slash+ Star Spangled Banner= EPIC WIN

[hokieyellowjacket]

why do some of you think you have to compare him to anyone. This is an artist performance and it should be judged on its own merits, not to hendrix or anyone. Slash plays this well with feeling and that's good enough for me to enjoy it.

[Dpatx21]

chill we all know slash is boss

[orrekorre]

look at Steve Vais version instead, thats some serious guitar playing.

[RobinInP]

don't think he tuned his guitar before this gig

[telecaster7144]

This is crap compared to the jimi hendrix version

[johnmalory26]

He looks like his son, and he plays it the same way

[TheBillzinhu]

You are rubbish, some videos to compare Slash in Guns N 'Roses, oh tell me if it's better or not! There will never be someone who can play better than him, Slash god of guitar ever. ♥ *-* '

[rasenshuriken198]

@TheBillzinhu i like slash too but if your saying there will never be any one better than slash hers a list of ppl to check out

jimi hendrix

jimmy page

john paul jones

gary moore

eric clapton

jeff beck

jeith richards

[TheMachoPounder]

@rasenshuriken198 you forgot Carlos Santana

[rockgirl0007]

something's wrong with you people! Why are you so jealous? Can anyone of you play it better? Of course not!

He has millions of FANS around the word, touching them emotionally with his music and style of playing. If you are not one of them it's OK.

We are his fans and we like him exactly like he is. We like how he plays, how how sounds everything, no comparison needed, It's just SLASH that we love.

[rasenshuriken198]

@rockgirl0007 yes. Jimi Hendrix played it better you moron! have you not seen woodstock 1969?

[rockgirl0007]

@rasenshuriken198 You see how "clever'you are!! I said don't compare him to Jimi

If you like him how he plays OK, if you don't, shut up and listen to Jimi.Why should you compare him to Jimi? This is too stupid.

[rasenshuriken198]

@rockgirl0007 i shall listen to jimi then but this was a good attempt by slash i will admit

[TheTornamiter]

he tried something...not that bad

[Cyramor11]

fail

[DeadSeabream]

Yeah, well uncle sam wants u fighting xD

[natemcd442]

I want that hat!!!

[kratta96]

I prefer Uli Jon Roth.

[OmniaChannel]

Hendrix wannabe...

[riverofchains]

he's no hendrix.

[4memememeful]

ew

[Bannersnake]

he is supose to take off his hat

[nightofear]

@Bannersnake No, he is uncle sam

[GarrettR90]

@Bannersnake

I think he's justified in wearing a hat that is full-blown flag and patriotic to the core.

[andrew21slash]

@Bannersnake dont be stupid he born with the hat

[dbenmil]

@andrew21slash - LOL - Good one!

[andrew21slash]

@dbenmil hahaa thanks

[AustinGraggmusician]

@Bannersnake Well at least this one has a fag on it lol

[GreenSLi7]

@Bannersnake He can do what he wants, besides he was born in the uk anyway

[theofficialnjkt]

@Bannersnake he wouldn't be slash without his hat hed just be sum guy with a les paul

[XMMxmmXM]

@Bannersnake For slash, exceptions are made.

[loganrg281]

@Bannersnake slash can do whatever he wants to do hahah

:)

[HairyDONG69]

138 people are with the Taliban.

[rubicsmadman]

Ok even if he is not slash, him and slash both are bad there will never be another Jimi Hendrix

[quirkyooable]

How original! And he sucks at the guitar too. Ain't gonna be another Jimi.

[verprimler]

not a peanut gainst Jimmy

[625Stacy]

this guy SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO overrated

[strokemonkeys1]

@625Stacy dumb ass bitchy if hes overrated then you r retarded u must think these modern rockers are better

[aquablue619]

omg way too slow

[PARKOUR4USA]

that guys to fat to bad slash

[Monster4rmda559]

@PARKOUR4USA you didnt make sense....

[SirBaio3]

What the fuck is that? My God it's terrible...

[NarcissismNatachia]

This isn't slash Slash.. Probably an Imitator

[newfosgatesucks]

If that is Slash he needs to chnge identities so this is never associated with him.

[earthastone]

That ain't Slash. I've been listening to Slash since '86, this guy plays too damn slow and too damn sloppy. Plus Slash always like to show off somehow and sounds good even drunk.

[DickotheClown]

@earthastone its the star spangled banner dude. you dont show off during the star spangled banner

[earthastone]

@DickotheClown Maybe you shouldn't. I guess you haven't listened to Zakk Wylde play it

[DickotheClown]

@earthastone no i haven't. but i can say Jimi Hendrix is an exception
