Bruce Springsteen - Star Spangled Banner

[dragonsundancing]

Got that guitar and he learned how to make it sing.

[8823kuri]

これはまさに草の根のアメリカンの歌い方だ。born in the USAの歌詞の内容は一部アジア人を殺したとか、今では許されな­い表現がある。でもあれは犯罪ではない。ヴィエトナム戦争の最中­だったから。でも、Americanは勿論全員がborn in the USAだが、そしてpatrionaなのかもしれないが、すべて­好戦的ではあるまいに。国歌を血で汚してきたのがアメリカなのか­？かつてはソ連。今やイランや北朝鮮、どっちがならず者国家なの­か？

この国歌も米英戦争の中で生まれた。２１世紀の今歌詞をもう少し­人権を配慮したものに改良すべきなのではないか！

英国の国歌や日本の君が代のように大統領を賛美するものにするか­、America the beautifulの方が米国国歌に相応しいと思う。

このメロディーは散々国際試合の表彰式で聞いておぼえてしまった­が、歌詞はちょっとねえ。メリケン人よ検討してくれないかなあ。

[wolverine84]

Anyone who questions Bruce's patriotism, is a complete idiot!

[georgiethegreek]

original and just plain GREAT

[13depdawgjim]

I like Bruce but he is no Jimi Hendrix!

[maxis4real87]

@13depdawgjim

he's way better for sure

[FoulOwl]

Proof positive the Bruce "the douche" Springfield is one of the most overrated hacks ever.

[longfootbuddy]

alot of people forget that this song was written at a time when americans were fighting for theyr freedom against tyranny....now, when i see the flag of america, i think of tyranny....our government and the people that support it, have destroyed america...this is no longer a land of the free, it is the land of oppressive government and dictatorship...a land where the government is the master, and the people are subjects of the master...the opposite of the america over 200 years ago

[runamuck74]

not as dynamic as hendrix, but more professional.

[larryt21]

This is typical from all you f**king liberals. This is meant to be song with heart song about our country. ...especially from the the ms.boss man himself. f him and all the socialist Obama supporters out there. WAKE THE FUCK UP AMERICA!!!l

[flattop55]

Jersey Pride!

[chitown1966]

this vietnam draft dodger sucks

[jackj1959]

OMG... Draft-dodging?! Your, I presume, "patriot" Dick Cheney dodged the draft FIVE times! Springsteen didn't do that and then send others off to war. And if he had died we'd have 5,000 less soldiers dead and 100,000 less disabled. Not to mention 10's of thousands less Iraqi civilians killed and a lot less enemies.

[elkhartmartin]

i barely recognized this beautiful song. c-minus. because i like him.

[DJMarl]

Piano was way to loud to even hear Bruce's Guitar. Very poor production causes this to be a very poor version.

[weirdcritter]

You may not like it, but there is no piano - it's all just Bruce on 12 string guitar.

[run12102038]

@DJMarl your moms to loud

[chitown1966]

he needs to hurry up and get brain cancer and die.  the damn anti american , draft dodging liberal.

[velvetunderpants44]

Nice. Imagine the people that died to give you the freedom to express that thought.

Now imagine the British calling THEM liberals.

They were you fucking twat.

Grow gills and walk backwards into a river near you. Oh ya- and trust your government and media; it saves you having to actually think for yourself.

[chitown1966]

fuck you shittyunderpants44. fuck liberals. you all belong ina fucking overn

[velvetunderpants44]

I rest my case...

[chitown1966]

you need to be put to rest, go die of AIDS

[velvetunderpants44]

People like you don't really give me too much cause for concern- sooner or later you'll lose the mental ability to remember to keep breathing and reach the pinicle of your potential as fertilizer.

[chitown1966]

even for a gay loving anti american pedophile, anti military, neo marxist that was a funny response, however I hope you and your family die and burn in a car crash. no go and have a nice day. scum

[easc33]

fuck you legasthenics... you all belong ina fucking school

[hallandoat]

Butchered!

[emila1103]

GOD BLESS AMERICA

[dirnt89]

great artist...a legend!!!fuck you all the politicians!!!

[arisbananatwins]

greatest man alive!!!

[plofus]

i would like to hear bruce sing this.

[MidnightRambler444]

I guess the moderator is a censor but I never imagined that Bruce had these chops. I am pleasantly surprised.

[argotechnica]

Wow, AWKWARD...

[digradi2000]

youre fucked up buddy

[chitown1966]

no, YOU are fucked up for supporting an Anti American Socialist. buddy.

[sweetcurmudgeon]

That's PRESIDENT OBAMA to you, ass wipe.

[chitown1966]

wow you are one of those godless supporters too huh? fuck obama and all his leftist supporters, may you all commit suicide when McCain is announced the new president. and fuck the draft dodging bruce springfag.now go wash YOUR mouth out with a revolver.

[coachfun1987]

chitown: Either up your dose of medication or check yourself into a mental hospital asap.

Or...continue to be the fucked-up fecal brain that you are.

[chitown1966]

you are the one who needs some meds, you have to be fucked up in the brain to go against your own country and vote for a socialist muslim like NObama. Now do us all a favor and wash your mouth out with a revolver. you scumbag.

[coachfun1987]

Every post you make only proves more and more what an ignorant dipshit you are.

Can't wait for your response. I'm hoping for another "wash your mouth out with a revolver". Just can't read that moronic comeback enough.

[chitown1966]

just by you defending and supporting that illegal alien muslim NObama proves you are the ignorant dipshit. now don't you have some gay marriage to attend or be at some abortion baby killing party?

[ShotgunBlues42]

You're the one going against the country, Chitown. And Obama's a black Christian, not a Muslim. You're either stupid, or you're intentionally spreading lies and misinformation.

[chitown1966]

wow you are a kool aid drinker, too bad YOU and your family weren't at jonestown.

[Proletarian1917]

Now go make love to your sister and leave us alone. ^_^

[Proletarian1917]

Cletus, you're the best husband AND son I've ever had. ^_^

[chitown1966]

and you are a typical democratic asshole.

[Proletarian1917]

lol actually you are a typical ignorant inbred redneck. I'm not a democrat; in fact I'm not even from the United States. I don't care who the fuck is ru(i)(n)ning your country, I'll leave that choice up to you and your compatriots.

[Babylauncher3000]

no words? what a lame way to do the national anthem. It was hard to even tell he was playing it 80% of the time. This is a joke compaired to Marvin and Whitney

[deathisescape]

One word, Hendrix...

[luvdilla1999]

bruce springsteen more like bruce forsythe.

[BellaPelagia]

Marvin Gays rendition has to be by far the greatest along with Whitney & Bruce ...Actually they are allll Beautiful!!

[mathdaddy8]

Marvin Gaye did the best national anthem. Whitney Houston is next in line.

[Royalte]

Yep..  Gotta agree with that. What Marvin did was unscripted and so smooth.

[Helgali]

Disagree. Whitney first, Beyonce second. Marvin is not even on my list. Didn´t like him taking forever with the song at this one basketball game, with sunglasses..

[nelauren]

Whitney lip-synched....

[chadia84]

umm no she didnt....pay attention to the video....u can see her veins popping out of her neck when she hit those high notes...geezzz

[nelauren]

You're a fucking idiot. The trades reported that it was NOT a live rendition, she actually recorded it in a studio and sang along with the track (her mic line never made it into the live feed). I know the guy who was the engineer of the track. No one is saying she is a bad singer. It was just not a live performance.

[chadia84]

ure an immature, ignorant, uneducated, unclassy, dirty mouthed piece of trash who needs some social skills & morals in learning how to talk to people.

If i thought u were the opposite of the above words than i would be upset but i think ure worse than the things i mentioned above so ure not worth bothering with. u need to grow up & learn not to throw a tantrum when u disagree with someones difference in opinion.

[MrkCmblz]

i don't think you understand nelauren for he made it clear and that actually made sense. you in the other seem to reply with no idea what your saying. you have points at all, you just mouth off like nothing, you're the one who throws a tantrum. you need to calm down when you loose an argument, if nelauren says he now the engineer then he made straight forward point that she did. you seem to have no back up what so ever. if i were you i'd reason better.

[chadia84]

umm u make no sense at all...

but im saying that she didnt lip sync

as for the nelaurean guy...i highly doubt u knew the engineer and if u did yay for u!!! lol

[drulove8701]

negative faith hill first marvin second, whitney third. beyonce not even in my top 10. i hate it when they dont hold notes n try to do too many runs and i especially hate when they sing "free" they always go to a falsetto so annoying just hold it straight and that...is why faith hill is teh best.

[19JohnnyBoy95]

Dude, great enthusiasm, but chill out.

[MidnightRambler444]

I have to say, I eat my words when I used to say the Boss had no chops on guitar - he should use them more onstage.

[Royalte]

Wasn't feeling it. Nothing against him but I just didn't like it.

[mathdaddy8]

I agree. Where's the singing? I guess he said screw the lyrics. I didn't like.

[OWhatAThrill]

Thank you Sir, for speaking out on behalf of our son's and daughter's. My son has been to Iraq on one tour, my daughter-in-law on two, leaving behind a one year old son on her 2nd tour. I cried when I saw this on tv, followed by BITUSA as my son was 3 weeks away from leaving and you, stand on a stage and speak for me. Your "voice" is much louder than mine.

[ElenorRigby]

Beautiful, nice melody to it. I like it.

[ppeek2]

ear plugs

[JustDoIt2874]

HAPPY 4th OF JULY!!!

[logantownship]

this is fabulous...happy 4th to come...mistakes and all (and every country has them) you are doing the best...keep on doing the best. Canada.

[muf0603]

Bruce is a true American hero. He not only recognizes an injustice, he tries to fix it in a courageous, powerful way, thru his words and actions, not like a coward by rioting in the streets and killing innocent people. He is one of this countries greatest Americans, and not just because of his music-although I cannot imagine a world without "Jungleland".

[billheartyface]

actually a coward wouldn't riot in the streets...see?...cuz they'd be afraid you know? cuz they are cowards? the abuse of that word over the years to mean something like "Jerk" is getting old.

[muf0603]

I have no idea what your comment is suppose to mean. Obviously you are not a Springsteen fans because we are smart.

[ppeek2]

this leans more on the suck side been better if he played this by himself

[alyse1969]

he DID play it by himself - who else do you see up there with him????

[ppeek2]

listen to it real close there is another instiment in it not 1 but 2

[weirdcritter]

It's just Bruce playing a 12 String Guitar.

[iMaajid]

12-stringed guitar ffs.

[muzicfan25]

I am sure that YOU could play it much better. Why cut down people continously? Jealous? Thought so.

[ppeek2]

this leans more on the suck side been better if he played this by himself

[muzicfan25]

There is no "suck side" to anything by the Boss.

[chitown1966]

he sucks NObama's cock, the fucking traitor.

[kennisons77]

Dude, I think I hear your mom calling.

Now you zip up your pants, put down the lotion and head upstairs for dinner, or no desert for you mister!

[chitown1966]

wrong again asshole, It's YOUR mom calling me. She wants a real man and not some soft limp wrist liberal. Time to call my friends and have another gangbang with her. Now you know why she didn't have hard labor with your big headed ass. have a great day Son.

[tertra114]

You must reall be pissed Obama is PRESIDENT KNOW ha ha, don't commit suicide lol!!!

[chitown1966]

oh don't worry about that I am alive and well. I am no weak minded, emotionally weak liberal such as yourself. when you and your family are out of a job because of that Anti Christ I hope you all starve to death, slow and very painful. As for YOUR messiah. lets hope him and his family have sickel cell.

He is NOT MY president. I didn't vote for him

[SoulBane]

im pretty sure he is

since you know

everyone else voted for him

[ShotgunBlues42]

You don't have to agree with him, but he will be the next president. If you love your country as much as you claim, you should accept him and give him a fair chance. If you still don't like him in four years, then vote against him again.

[reddog223]

i will be sure to in 4 years if i still have the right to vote when hes done

[jffseat24]

anybody who criticizes bruce because he speaks the truth about little man bush is an idiot themselves...he is right about george bush and all he has done i got one major word that shows george bush is for himself..HALIBUTRTON..keep rockin bruce u r the best

[saintmarley]

blow me,,,Bruce is ALL HEART bitch

[scusemelittleoldlady]

Springsteen doesn't knock America, he knocks bad government. He may make absurd amounts of money and live in a mansion, but he's the voice of everyday middle-class Americans.

[danant75]

@scusemelittleoldlady Why is not still knocking bad government?

[mfs1995]

If you looked into it just a little bit more, you may find that "Born in the USA" is a protest song, written to criticize the polarization of our great nation. Poignant in 1984, poignant in 2008.

[lilHippo]

thought everyone knew that

[kjam1989]

Very Patriotic, but Protestful as well, Kind of like Jimi Hendrix's version

[kjam1989]

Anybody care to Disagree?

[bootysurgeon]

I guess I disagree a little... I don't hear any quality of protest. It strikes me as a straight rendition of the tune. I love it.

[Treman262]

magnificent

[blabberwocky]

beautiful

[Cidiano1945]

FABULOSO, THE BOSS ALWAYS THE BEST

[pytko3]

Ah, this a relaxing though somewhat somber melody.

[thunder63]

Amazing. I was there !!! Thanks for posting x

[scruffs13]

SUBLIME!! thank you so much for posting!

[scientology101]

great
