I CAN'T IMAGINE HOW YOU ARE NATIONALITY!!!

[loZoneranger560]

@evilunixuser1: "Sellout"?

I suppose Gene Simmons would throw in his usual comment, "Sure, we're sellouts. We SELL OUT every time we play"

[koradan]

BEST version EVER!! To the seven levels of HELL with the Hendrix version!!! When the WHOLE band does it, it is nothing short of AWESOME!!!!

For a while, when we would shoot fireworks off on the 4th of July, we would play this for our "Finale". It always rocked the neighborhood!!

[evilunixuser1]

IMO, KISS died when the makeup returned, sellouts!

[racerxcorvette]

Absolutely Incredible. Gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it. KISS really "Brings It!" I like that they play it the way it was written, note for note. Why other bands feel the need to put their twist on it is beyond me. It's so powerful the way it was originally written. It's the United States National Athem! KISS needs to bring this back and play it at the end of all of their shows. Black Diamond followed by the Star Spangled Banner!

[robfolcroft]

@racerxcorvette Couldn't agree more!

[racerxcorvette]

@robfolcroft

I know. Right?

Bruce Kulick is playing with Grand Funk Railroad tomorrow on 9/11 in Woodstock, Illinois.

I guarantee Bruce will be playing the Star Spangled Banner.

And It's gonna ROCK!

[robfolcroft]

@racerxcorvette That's awesome, would love to see that. Hope you had a great time!

[peggy986]

Might be the only Kiss song I've ever enjoyed.

[maleriethomas]

@peggy986 screw u then

[piloneman]

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY, EVERYONE!

[1962drob]

DO I LIKE IT? I LOVE IT!!!!!

[1962drob]

KISS RULES!!! THEY DO A GREAT RENDITION OF THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER!!! JIMI HENDRIX WOULD BE PROUD!!!

[MrMegaFredzeppelin]

Bruce Kulick and KISS pulled this off big time.

[1962drob]

@MrMegaFredzeppelin Yeah man!!! They totally rocked on this man!!! Perfect for 4th of July!!!

[MrMegaFredzeppelin]

@1962drob This to me is the BEST line up KISS ever had.GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA"!!!!!! ROCK ON MY FRIEND!!!!!!!

[1962drob]

@MrMegaFredzeppelin YOU TOO MAN!!! ROCK ON!!!!

GOD BLESS THE USA!!!!

[magyarwho]

I am not American but I love how Kiss plays this anthem. They are really good musicians.

[WeirdAl45231]

Zakk Wylde's good, can never decifer Hendrix, but THIS is just pure genius!

[TheHolydunk]

where the FUCK can I download this?

[promenoshi]

Ho,y crap!!! For a split second there i wished i was american just to have been able to say 'thats my national anthem' but then i realised as amazing as this anthem sounds and i know the band playing it are american but i just thank god im not cos that would really suck

[kcdrizzle]

@promenoshi What the fuck are you talking about? That didn't even make any fucking sense lol. Dumbass.

Fucking foreigners reading into the news and the TV. America is and always will be (minus the fuckbags who exist EVERYWHERE in the world, not ust US) The land of the motherfucking free and the home of the goddamn brave. BAMF!

[promenoshi]

@kcdrizzle america land of the free and the brave? You're kidding, right....

A country where there have been more cover-ups than anywhere else. The yanks cant see anything beyond america, they think the world revolves around them. This is a country that has pissed off pretty much the rest of the world. They have also pissed off some countries so much that they had to resort to hijacking planes and flying them into some buildings, now thats bravery

[CaptainAmerica322]

@promenoshi

So which "country" flew the planes into the buildings. Last I checked, it was an organization. Presumably you are British. This comment is so fucking typical that its pathetic. Honestly. Get a life. And go fix your own fucking country before criticizing ours. They flew the planes into our towers not because we pissed them off, but because the US is, like it or not limey, the leader of the West. You Brits need to do something about your Arrogance there fella.

[therealuptheass]

@CaptainAmerica322 The English have a right to be arrogant. Without them America wouldn't have apple pie, football, baseball, and the national anthem which is based on an English song. Also, you're speaking English! Without England there would be no America as we know it.

[CaptainAmerica322]

@therealuptheass

If you'd read all my comments, you'd see that I am fully aware its "your" language. And its so fucking typical for you to use the old "without us" card. SO fucking typical. As if Apple pie, baseball, football, and our anthem is what makes America. Now, you CAN use your little excuses for your arrogance, but its not going to fly. England did not build our country. Our forefathers did. The same ones who kicked you out. Right to be arrogant? You lost your entire fucking empire....

[therealuptheass]

@CaptainAmerica322 The forefathers are of English decent you idiot! Everything about America can be traced back to England. Without them (I'm not English) America would not exist. Take your head out of your ass and show some respect for your creators.

[CaptainAmerica322]

@therealuptheass

No way, really? My bad,I didn't know that. Sarcastic. They were of English decent. Nice work. However, they were NOT English. They were colonial. England did NOT "create" America...colonials did. REBELS did. And no, not "everything about America can be traced back to England." In fact, not even close. And where are you from then?

[therealuptheass]

@CaptainAmerica322 9/11 was an inside job. The American government shit on it's own people. You've obviously been brainwashed by the media. As to where I come from, I'm an American but I have respect for the nation that gave birth to us.

[CaptainAmerica322]

@therealuptheass

Haha, brainwashed. Yep. Thats me. Actually, I also used to believe that theory, but then realized how completely inconceivable it is. And I also have respect for England, but not English people who talk down to me, and my nation based on stereotypes etc, and have never actually been here.

[CaptainAmerica322]

@promenoshi

And the Brave isn't in reference to our Politicians you fucking moron, its in reference to our forefathers, who fought your stupid crown (which you still have, way to keep up, except not with your cute little monarchy) and earned our freedom that Americans today enjoy. Its also in reference to the brave men who fought in every other war we've had. If you can't understand a concept as simple as that, then I'm sorry, but you are sort of challenged.

[CaptainAmerica322]

@promenoshi

And by the way, I for one, don't think the world revolves around me. I've been to 34 countries, and lived in three besides just America. And don't even try and come up with a comeback. I've heard it all before from you limeys, and I'm not impressed. So, go outside, realize how small your little "country" is. Maybe country is the wrong word seeing as Ohio is more of a country than England...So's Scotland, how's that feel? By the way, your use of your own damn language is appalling.

[therealuptheass]

@kcdrizzle Moron, you need to read some history books. Fighting for freedom started in England. If it wasn't for the English, America wouldn't even exist!

[therealuptheass]

@kcdrizzle Freedom started in England. The English created America and you are speaking their language. Without them you would be nothing!

[eXtreme0710]

Bin Laden might have blowed up WTC but KISS even blowed the statue of Liberty

[southplnk]

@eXtreme0710 & you blow school boys

[TheOnlyRevanTheGreat]

fuck hendrix!

[kevCinoT]

I'm from Croatia (some f*cked-up country in Europe) an I just LOVE SSB! The best I've heard in my life!

[UndertakerDMCFan0]

The phrase of the alamo was "Remember the Alamo."

For 9-11 it Should have been "KISS, Know I Still Stand"

[stansell1]

@UndertakerDMCFan0 Correction... it was "Remember the Alamo! Remember Goliad!"

[cooler235]

TO THE THREE TERRORISTS WHO DISLIKE THIS VIDEO IM GOING TO FIND YOU AND SHOW YOU THE TRUE MEANING TO THE WORD VIOLATION SO YOU BETTER PRAY TO WHOEVER IT IS YOU PRAY TO CAUSE WHEN IM DONE WITH YOU EVERYONE WILL KNOW THE WRATH AND MEANING OF A TRUE AMERICAN!!!

[kay1490]

Oh,Say can you see♪

[djmatts1]

The best song KISS ever played !

[johnnyarockalypse]

God bless America! Keep on rockin everyone!

[gunsnroses2124]

fuck ya

[gunsnroses2124]

fuck ya

[BenzinFresser]

Perfect posture between stylization and harmony in the guitars. It comes out clearer and crisper because they have multiple guitars doing the same high octaves so it counters yet compliments the lower frequency sounds simultaneously. Not to mention the pyrotechnics really add to the music as well, its as if they're acting the words to the song rather than saying them because EVERYONE who's worth something as an American citizen knows the words to this song. All I can say is I wish it was longer

[06STEEL]

Kiss rocks!!!! Jimi was so stoned that his sound was awful.

[jesus13alvarez]

@06STEEL fuk yu jimi's version was da best thats y everyone wants to ripp him off

and so wat if he was stone let him live his life

[johnnyarockalypse]

@jesus13alvarez Jimi's version blew goat... it was disrespectful the way he tampered with the National Anthem the way he did... this version rocks!

[mkl62]

Actually, it has Hispanic origins. A Mexican went to a bullfight and couldn't see, so he climbed up a flagpole. One of his compadres shouted, "Jose, can you see?"

[JorgeGil1302]

Without words! Awesome

[watsurtapokemon]

EPIC..........................­

[MrMegaFredzeppelin]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,GOD BLESS. AND PROTECT YOU, JULY 4TH 2010.

[nickthecomedian]

star spangled banner is extremely easy song to play.

[DylanBStringer91]

100% Better Than The Hendrix Experience!!! They Did This As A Band Instead Of The Guitarist Do It With A Solo And Drums Beating Behind It!!!

[TheKassicRock]

@DylanBStringer91

ARE YOU FUCKING HIGH?

This version is cool but Hendrixs is a classic peace of Americas history, you can't beat it.

[1988scottcarey]

@TheKassicRock americas history is based on lies.

[Daver869]

this version has to be one one of the best renditions of the anthem.

[no1kissfan]

USA Baby. Fuck all you haters. KISS RULES. Bruce Kulick is phenomenal!! Wish he was back with the band. The Revenge tour was fantastic, I saw it in NYC.

[LimaUnite]

altiac, we still kicked your ass one by one didn't we.... lol that's why were allowed to own gun's , case ya'll try that shit again.... you got the white house once, never twice!!!! that's goes for the world , we will kick your ass if you bring down another building!!! better yet , we will fuck you up!!!!!!!

[stewart521emt]

love kiss always ...usa,,,,,,,,,

[digitalscout]

Bruce Kulick was great here. Kiss was tight musically on the Revenge Tour. Just wish the Reunion tour was just a reunion tour. Paul is great either way makeup or without. Bruce Kulick was such a talent to loose.

[AltaicSupremacy]

Wow, a British drinking song that was plagiarized by former American colonists being renditioned by a band of Jews, how typically American lol.

[SaintWicked721]

A british drinking song? You have any proof of that?

[AltaicSupremacy]

Just type in US anthem and british drinking song in youtube, you'll find plenty.

[demon1ify]

I love it when paul joins in. HUGE BOMB!

[skydog1014]

best verson of that song ever! others try but they just ruin it with the crap in the middle, but thease guys add it and it just sounds soo good i luv it

[ObeseK1tten]

sorry to break it to you but jimis version is a lot better... like blows these guys outta the park, cuz compare Kiss-Jimi Hendrix musically hands down jimi wins :D

but KISS still rocks

[johnnyarockalypse]

@ObeseK1tten Jimi's version is an insult to the Anthem... it's horrible! Rock on KISS... yinz played the hell out of this song!

[ObeseK1tten]

@johnnyarockalypse jimi wrecks kiss musically dont deny it man i was just saying my opinion

[heavymetalrulz123]

@skydog1014 Yeah, I agree.

[TheKassicRock]

@skydog1014

The crap in the middle is guns firing in vietnam, and bombs falling down, its a part of americas history

[dragonriderjohn]

awesome video. rock on dude
