  • The 160 people who disliked this video have no souls. Screw them all.

  • I just had to comment again cause this is one of the best national anthems I've ever seen. American flags flying and nothing but proud Americans. It doesn't get any better than this

  • My dad was in desert storm awful war he brung back some pics of cars blown up with nothing but peoples bones left in them smoke clouds of oil burning he's kinda messed up from all the chemicals they used in the air in that war.

  • @aznredneck0311.. God bless you

  • Just a question, lately I have discovered many americans are very angry with their government and politicians. I understand some of the factors, may be the financial crisis, obamas health care program... could someone perhaps give me a good answer? /Oliver

  • as an American Marine who served in Operation Enduring Freedom. this brought tears to my eyes.

  • death to america !

  • Comment removed

  • @RevolutionMuslimX Someone jealous of freedom! God bless America!!!

  • @Legoego14 Rofl-comment

  • Thumbs up if you don't want to read comments about war and came to watch the video because this gives you chills when you listen to it. Wayne Messmer, YOU ROCK!

  • The American National Anthem is the sound of Satan farting.

  • @dreamdiction as if satan was real

  • @killingwithasmile182 America has not been in a just war since 1945. The Korean War to today's fake War On Terror, have all been a scam to enrich private Defense Contractors. The US Military are Corporate Mercenaries who export terrorism to the world because Americans are psychopaths who murder for profit. There is no honor in US military service. All US Military Service is SHAMEFUL.

    Bush's UN Ambassador admits all US Middle East have all been for Oil.

  • @dreamdiction what is a satan?

  • @TRUTHBOXNEWS You are absolutely right my friend. And when we show others the deformed babies from our MIC, slaughtering of innocent people around the world, done in our name! With our tax dollars! We are called Un-American. And we have to look at why, who benefits from it. Oil companies, bankers, big corporation. Empires built on dead mens bones.

  • did they boooo him when he finished??

    kinda sounded like it...

  • @Xxcm93Xx No, that was back in the day of the Arsenio Hall fist pump and hoot. Crowds sounded like that all over America.

  • I have a great admiration for the americans for this sense of proud. I hope one day, my people from Brazil get this same sense.

    Greeting from Rio de Janeiro.

  • goosebumps

  • 18,000+ STANDING IN UNISON AND CHEERING AT CHICAGO STADIUM!!!!!! BACKED UP BY WAYNE MESSMER AND A NUCLEAR-POWERED PIPE ORGAN

  • i bet the guy singing was like.i didnt practice for this

  • Remembering the Roar!!!!!!

    P.S. For those who don't understand the cheering, this is the roar. It was electrifying with one of the world's largest pipe organs, Wayne Messmer singing. It just doesn't get better than this.

  • As a Hawk fan who attends game regularly, everyone should know the reason this is done. Before you applaud or critique this, read the story. Understand it. Learn the history of the team, the building, what was happening at the time. It's ok to share your opinions because this country gives you the freedom to do so. Does anyone know what 5/9/85 was? Please learn more and then want to hear EDUCATED arguments both ways. Thanks! Go Hawks!

  • @Kdog0917 the  oilers, duh

  • What a shame!

  • WW1=Good guys won,WW2=Good Guys Won, Vietnam= stupid Viet Cong, Korean War= Good Guys won, Gulf War= USA, Somalia= Stupid MEDIA! and Bill Cinton, Osama bin laden= USA, Terrorists= USA, Iraq= USA.JUST STICK WITH US AND YOU"LL BE SAFE. WW3(2020)= USA and Allies win OF COURSE, second KOREAN WAR(2030)= South Korea with help of USA. CUBA(soon)= USA wins. Accidental shot to castro's head.Sorry. You take forever to die. Anyone want to bet my future war dates? jk =}

  • 156 Sons of Saddam watched this video.

  • @iluvmusicqwe ..it was a tradition at this particular stadium for years and welcomed as a genuinely distinct show of affection for their country. If Americans themselves don't feel this to be disrespectful then why should anyone else? It is their song after all.

  • @iluvmusicqwe You're the one that should shut the fuck up. What's so respectful about sitting their bored for the entire song, waiting for the game to start? Nothing makes you feel more patriotic than a national anthem at a hawks game, which everyone should experience once.

  • @iluvmusicqwe if u are an american i suggest u get the hell out of this great nation..this was days after the troops had gone off to war and the crowd was was showing extreme pride and respect for the GREATEST nation on this planet

  • this is the power of the american spirit god bless america :)

  • 155 terrorists watched this video.

  • USA, I applaud you. Spine-tinglingly awesome.

  • cmon everyone stop complaining, he did so good that they started cheering before he even said a word!!!

  • Best stadium in sports, RIP. The original madhouse

  • I'm from the Philippines and God Bless America

  • @FudomiZeL salamat =)

  • The all time best anthem singers, Wayne and Jimmy Cornelison!... nobody else compares!

  • @Crackers2549 I always get chills hearing Jim sing it. Never fails.

  • I do not know what they are doing but seem like they are over reacting

  • brought me nearly to tears

  • its chicago stadium what did you expect?

  • @mattdruid its not disrespect its the height of respect. I went to a game in Columbus last year to watch the Blackhawks and we had so many blackhawk fans there that we got everyone cheering and it is something that really makes you proud to be an American. you just have to experience it. And oh yeah the Veterans seem to all like it that Chicago brings down on the ice before the home games.

  • Happy Veterans Day. It's about time for the Blackhawk fans to stop acting ignorant and respect the US Flag code. Support the facebook group "Chicago Blackhawks fans need to stop shouting during the National Anthem"

  • @mattdruid this seems so much more patriotic than being quiet and listening to some pop singer... i wish i could experience something like this.

  • Yep, that's how we do it in Chicago! God bless America

  • The best rendition ever

  • U.S.A

  • I wish the troops still received this kind of support today....

  • Wow what a great version. I love how he did 'home of the brave'

  • Having been able to attend a BLACKHAWKS game and having been in "The Madhouse on Madison" to hear Wayne Messmer sing "The Anthem" I can say it was one of the most awesome experiences ever. Being able to cheer for our great country and the men and women who fight for her! WOW all that can be said is THANK YOU!

  • How every national anthem should be!!!!

  • Thank you diddy3286 for your service, for keeping me and my family safe. God bless you and your family....

  • God I love Chicago. In my heart wherever I may be in the world.

  • that made me cry

  • I always get the goosebumps when I hear the national anthem. Just awesome!

  • @dafoomie

    Oh, it's ok then.

  • My dad was there. He said there was nothing in his life more emotional than that. It must have been crazy in Chicago Stadium. The greatest city in the world and the greatest country. God bless the USA.

  • it's kind of strange looking back that people were so worked up about that war. Such an innocent patriotism that it is almost scary. Considering that military action is so routine now, this really seems like a different era.

  • 100,000 civilian casualties in Iraq since 2003.

  • Sweet home, Chicago...

  • Watching this made me cry, I don't know if there is still patriotism like this. God bless America- the country I love!

  • people love to diss the united states, but just wait till your country gets attacked. who will be the first to defend you? thats right. (;

  • @salakast

    All states whose government members have put money in our banks and get afraid of losing it.

    Switzerland, Fuck yeah!

    Just kidding, i never support wars, but the troops.

  • @salakast They also have no problem accepting America's money!

  • @salakast more like just wait till america attacks you

  • @rcbasher101 thats a load of crap. The U.S is not an empire, we're simply defenders of the world from douchebag terrorists that treat their own people like crap

  • @TommyCage0736 its just a joke , dude

  • @salakast That's for sure bro your country has is nose stuck in everyone shits!

  • @mathieulebum You notice how we kept to ourselves in WW1 and WW2? Well ever since we have been in everyones shit there has been no world war.

  • @CarterMafia Thats because we are policing the world, idiot.

  • @thegermsattack1 If we don't people act up and Millions die

  • @salakast you better tall em'!!!!!!!! lol :D that is true

  • @salakast like your defending the palestinians or innocent iraqi's lol take your so called defense and shove it up your ignorant arse you daft cunt

  • @TheT33g umad fag?

  • @EpicTrollBeastMan no im not mad and cheers but ive got my own cigs

  • I was all of a year old when this happened makes me feel so young.

  • “Patriotism is the belief your country is

    superior to all other countries because

    you were born in it.”

    George Bernard Shaw.

  • @XxRushx That would be Nationalism, not Patriotism.

  • You can say what you want about America, but their patriotism is inspiring. If only every country could have this much pride in their country!!! Semper Fi to all their boys, and ours from the UK, fighting for our freedom!

  • @IamSmunton Thanks for the love IamSmunton...your boys are hardcore yourselves! this isn't a dick measuring contest. the contest is to beat the fuckers who want to disrupt freedom!

  • Great patriotic support. Something I'd like to see, though, is that especially in playoff games in Canada anytime they are singing "O' Canada", sometimes the performer stops, lifts his/her hands or microphone up and lets the crowd sing a section on their own. Probably one of the cooler things to watch in an opening ceremony like this and it would be awesome to see Americans do that with the Star-Spangled Banner.

  • @Gphazor Yes, even I can admit, that Vancouvers rendition of the Canadian anthem is fantastic. Two real rivals on the ice, and in anthems. I know a lot of Canadians disrespect the U.S. for political reasons, etc. - but a great many of us love your game of hockey, and even in Chicago (ya know with those bandwagon fans that erupted even before the Hawks were good lol), I can pick out spots where Americans are singing the words to "Oh Canada"

  • SEMPER FI MY BROTHER!!!! U.S.M.C

  • Comment removed

  • USA

  • @CarolinaGirl19921 even though we are better

  • @edinburgh96 Know your history before you talk shit you fucking liberal terrorist! People like you are bringing this country down and should be sent over to Iraq and Afghanistan just to see what us troops go through to protect your freedom to be fucking retarded! I sure hope you get what you have coming to you! I'd thoroughly enjoy you saying that bullshit in front of a Battalion of Marines or a Brigade of Soldiers, and see what happens! You don't have to guts though, do you? Coward!

  • @diddy3286 I see, everyone who is against war, is a liberal, a terrorist or a coward. Typical right wing response. Lets see how brave all those NHL fans, sitting thousands of miles away in that safe stadium would feel if they has a gun put in their hand and they were sent to the front line. I bet they wouldn't be as enthusiastic then! War is something that is tragic and if those fans would have experienced war first hand I doubt they would have been so "gung ho."

  • @edinburgh96 Where did you serve?

  • Comment removed

  • Speaking of tough, if you're so tough, why don't you join the army and get out there and fight?

  • @edinburgh96 I've been in the United States Marine Corps for just under 7 years now. Two combat deployments to Iraq, leaving my family behind with the uncertainty of coming home. I am currently being medically retired, as we speak, for injuries sustained during my 2006 deployment. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, liberal! I enjoyed being in Iraq, because I knew that I was helping keep my family and friends safe, as well as people like you, by eliminating the terrorist threat. THANK YOU!

  • @diddy3286 Thank you so very much Marine. Thank you.

  • @edinburgh96 Semper Fi brother! Go Hawks!

  • @diddy3286 Amen brother. Thank You and all your brothers and sisters for what you have done.  God Bless America, and Semper Fi!

  • @diddy3286 "The terrorist threat"

    lol.

  • @diddy3286 You're why I own a gun. If anyone tries to invade our country, I'll be right there with you guys. God bless you and thank you for your sacrifice. If I ever meet you in a bar, next round for you and your friends is on me.

  • @diddy3286 i would like to say a big thank u fir serving u are a true hero

  • @diddy3286 thanks for your service diddy!

  • @diddy3286 You've been brainwashed real bad comrade!

  • @diddy3286 You kept me safe too....all of you are heroes. God Bless you all and this country can't thank you enough.

  • @diddy3286 Thank you sir. I wish the best for you and your family.

  • @diddy3286 So everyone who is against war is a liberal. Hmmm... moron no wonder you joined the forces. Sadly you want face the truth like many other members of the armed forces have and see that the war was never about 'eliminating the terrorist threat' but money.

  • Comment removed

  • being american is simply the best, and we can say all day that we're not trying to brag, but we should just stop that because we live in the greatest country on earth!

  • @edinburgh96 haha oh god you are so stupid. if you don't understand how oil factors into our national defense, which directly effects our freedom, i can't help you. so go ahead and shit on the us troops while they fight for your safety and your right to do so. dumbass

  • @edinburgh96 EUROPEAN STIFF! Oh wait your from Scotland keep sucking Englands cock kid. Oh Yes England has been raping you for hundreds of years with the only response being 'I'm proud to be British'. Never talk shit about my country or anybody who lives in my country. I've never bowed to a King or Queen and my country only has one flag. USA all the way.

  • @whydelilah08 The Queen is a figurehead, nobody actually bows to her.....unless you meet her in person, but even then it is only ceremonial. She has no political power. Saying that, I would rather bow to her than have George Bush or George Bush Jr running my country.

  • @edinburgh96 weird because I never bowed to either of them. My country doesn't call for that in a figurative way or a symbolic way, thats because my country doesn't have a symbolic class system that might represent the rape of Scotland, Ireland, Northern Ireland, India, China, Africa.... Piss off let the NHL fans honor their troops.

  • One of the greatest displays of national pride I've ever seen. It's a wonderful thing and the antis are so obnoxious because they have nothing to be proud of.

  • @CarolinaGirl19921 Thats because America is ''everybody else!'' :D , formed by the fellow migrants from every part of the world

  • @CarolinaGirl19921 Your comment is spot-on. Thank you. It's not possible for Americans to believe we're better than everybody else. We're a nation formed by migrants from around the globe - we ARE everybody else!

    For those who knock our military - surely the victims of disasters have a different opinion.

    And for those who knock our current economic troubles... imagine the increased suffering if everyone who works here and sends money back home suddenly found themselves unable to do so.

  • Ignorance is bliss for anit-American's.

  • @CarolinaGirl19921 ...well you can be politically correct, WE ARE BETTER THAN EVERYONE ELSE. YOU'RE WELCOME FOR 40% OF THE WORLD'S AID COMING DIRECTLY FROM US. FROM TECHNOLOGY, MATH, SAVING YOUR COUNTRY'S ASS AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER. WE ARE BEST DAMN COUNTRY AND THAT'S WHY PEOPLE TRY TO BLOW US UP, STEAL OUR S**T AND SNEAK THROUGH OUR BORDERS! QUIT COMING HERE IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT SCUMBAGS!

  • The American anthem in my mind isn't a very good song, dont get me wrong America is the shit, but the anthem is sucky.

  • @OliieTheEpic "I hate you, Ollie!!!" - Francis Scott Key

  • @xaqshuna2003 FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

  • @OliieTheEpic this anthem is not sucky, it is an account of one of the most influential moments of the war of 1812, one of the most influential wars of this nation, when the Standard was still flying, they knew that the nation would go on,

  • @OliieTheEpic Your opinion, ignore xaqshuna2003, I think he's stupid or had mistaken "America is the shit" for America is shit lol

  • Awesome!!!

  • goose bumps anyone?

  • " Yeah we are at war, that is so FUCKING COOL! Innocent kids dying in Asia, Lets nuke the shit out of the whole world so i wont feel embarrassed when i cant point out Antarctica on a map"

  • @Momokabomo No Ones happy to be at war. We have nothing to do with Asia, Maybe your country should. We arent the ones you should be worried about, Russia has twice as many nukes as the USA. And America is one of the smartest countries in the world.

    Think before you comment.

  • @Momokabomo Perhaps the concept of national pride and support for your brave military is a foreign concept. It is not to Americans.

  • Flag burners eh, but they dont mind takin ur money! go Americans! cant fault ya!

  • God bless America.

  • @CarolinaGirl19921 You dumb bitch!!!! Research when Australians follow you dickheads into war.. Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq...You dumb bitches dont survive without us!! DUMBASS!!! 

  • @CarolinaGirl199 I respect the USA pride. But learn your fuckin history. We have fought in the last 4 wars with you. You dumb bitch. Learn your fucking history before you insult my soldiers. You are a typical ignorant american...

  • @simba3170 RELAX, simba! Geez. people take themselves too seriously.

  • Damn I miss Chicago Stadium

  • @CarolinaGirl19921 speak for yourself I Know we are the best.

  • @CarolinaGirl19921 you have pride because aussies have always fought for you!!!

  • 150 people are terrorist

  • @5055miller

    I'm educated enough to know wtf is up. and 600,000!!! really?? go check that fact again again an educate yourself. truth is, U.S saved more lifes there than they took. Saddam's Regime and reign of Geneside killed millions!!!! because of the united states they can vote who they want instead of bein murdered for not voting. that's just the tip.

  • we've been doing this every Blackhawks game since the 1980's

  • Who dislikes this? Dirtbags

  • wayne messmer is my neighbor :)

  • "Oh crap, we can still hear him sing....LOUDER!!!!!"

  • This also Made espn top 10 moments in sports history too

  • GOD BLESS AMERICA!

  • @kneckebroetchen $CREW U. We are the BEST and always will be. I am glad you live somewhere else. People like you don't need to live in our wonderful country.

  • @kneckebroetchen spell it right you fucking tard, America is the best country on earth, sure we may not be perfect and have our flaws like any other nation but, but whose always there for another country and whose there to fight when somone is in need. You really need to go fuck off becuase America is amazing and if you dont like it there doors right there so gtfo.

  • @tman247890 Where was the US when 800,000 people were murdered in Rwanda? America isn't always there for another country or first to respond. Not trying to bash the US but theyre just as self-serving as any other country out there.

  • @19Matt19 So where was Canada when 800,000 people were murdered?

  • @Sting3733 No where. I know Canada didn't do anything either, but everyone says the US is always the first one to respond around the world.

  • @19Matt19 Everyone expects the United States to do something, when we do everyone gets pissed that we try to make a permanent fix and when we don't everyone gets pissed because we were "supposed" to do something while all the other countries sit back and drink a beer.

  • @tman247890

    BULLSHIT! Remember someone by the name of Hitler?!? It took the US 2 years AFTER the war began to join in. US also sat back and watched the Rwandan genocide.

    Oh, now I know what you mean. The US is always there when the country involved has OIL!

    As much as YOU would hate to admit it... but Canada is always there for their allies. As long as the war is justified (Coughcough, the Iraqi invasion, Vietnam).

  • @tman247890 This National Anthem is amazing right here, and God bless all the men and women overseas don't get me wrong... but to say that we're ALWAYS there for other countries is ridiculous. There's been genocide and famine going on in Africa for ages. Why don't we settle things down over there? Because we need the oil and resources of the middle east. If you follow history, the U.S. hasn't been innocent in all of its foreign affairs. Our country is great, our government...not always.

  • @kneckebroetchen says the guy who spells it wrong...

  • In memory of  the first victims of terrorism against the United States of America. Those killed while serving as members of the Multi National Peacekeeping Force, Beirut Lebanon. Most on October 23, 1983 while sleeping due to a terrorist truck bomber.

  • wow...148 people don't like america...

  • MAN I LOVE BEING AMERICAN! CHILLS THROUGH THE WHOLE THING

  • The "re-election campaign" picture of that smiling ass Obama on the upper right corner of this page is an insult to this video.

  • @dhsbear I Agree! 100%

  • @dhsbear Oh god, I didn't even see that until I read your comment. Jeezuz, there's still more than a year to go before elections and he's already got the campaign mobile up and running.

  • 1994 stanley cup in MSG you couldnt hear the anthem it was sooooo loud..long live the rangers

  • All I know is that we had a 1 trillion dollar surplus before bush, and then when he left office we were 14 trillion in debt, also he didn't even win his first election, look up the story, it's longer than the amount of characters I can type

  • @Zyr4n We had ZERO surplus when Bush took office. Clinton did a great job balancing the budget (bipartisan job don't forget) but there was no surplus when he left office. And Bush did win.

    Think for yourself.

  • @Boris82much 14 tril in debt when he left, there was a vote miscount in florida, bush actually lost by 1%, supreme court said he won, instantly after they passed a law saying that the supreme court can never decide presidential elections again

  • @Boris82much I meant budget surplus btw, which bush used up really quick

  • @Zyr4n Were you even a glimmer in your daddy's eye in 2001? Go take your Lithium, dumbass.

  • @Boris82much

    Now that you've resorted to insults I can tell you don't care about debating, good bye

  • wow!!!! sooo much fukin hatred against the U.S!! you all talk ur shit while its our military an the U.N (also commanded by the u.s) are the ones that try n keep the world safer, and yet its coyntries like ur own that when shit hits the fan either war or natural disaster, its the U.S ur lookin to help or bail u out.

  • @TattdUpRuthless America has a big presence in the UN, it does not command it in any shape or form. i think you will find its NATO which "pretends" to keep the world safer whilst it profits from war and makes trillions from oil. Look at it from a different point of view. Take 9/11, 3,000 American died, but whats the difference between that and NATO then killing 600,000 Iraqi civilians? It makes NATO just as bad as any terrorist. America and the west are not what they seem, educate yourself.

  • @borat72747 I meant " SHUT the FUCK up. Especially you, BORE RAT. You Fucks started 2 world wars. If you have a chance, you would start a third. Also to our Canuck friends to the north, your Americans also, as are all the country's in North and South America. Ask yourself, why would your best athlete your country ever produce, live in the USA ? As all, or most, of the actors and other pro players move here, to the USA ? Jordan, Jeter,,Brady, Manning, would NEVER move to Canada. Why?

  • To all of you that hate the USA, you have your right to see this video, and other videos on YouTube, because of the USA. You all have the right to criticize anything you want, because of the USA. For those of you who boast about having better health care, etc., your country doesn't have the responsibility and cost, to have our hero's in 150 country's protecting the world. But not for the greatest nation this earth has ever seen, you all would be speaking German. So shout the FUCK up.
