I'm about 60% Scottish and my family been here since early 1600's and the Scottish are a big part of our history in wars, government etc. ....Thank you Scotland!
This was a great moment and wonderful addition of The Star-Spangled banner. I just think the thing that impressed me most about it was it was sincere. Interestingly enough here in Central Texas this past week we had some thunderstorms which is normal for this time of year. A small town called Bruceville-Eddy had their power go out on Friday and it was graduation day and the service went on by candlelight and the crowd saying the Star-Spangled banner acapella technically great maybe not but beautiful nonetheless.
That performance is reminiscent of the reaction of the sentinels at the Tomb of the Unknowns when someone is disrespectful. Thank you for doing tribute to the fallen so proudly on our traditional Memorial Day.
Jimmy Hendicks is my favorite! Lol, I wonder how his opinion of America would change if he knew how the U.S treat(ed)(s) the Native American community.
The first time I went to a baseball game in the Astrodome at 5yrs old, my Father, USAF, taught me how to stand for the National Anthem and put my hand over my heart. After the game he explained to me the meaning behind it. I always get goosebumps hearing it and Taps. I joined the USMC at 19 and was the recipient of my Father's flag at his service after his passing last year.
Thank you for your post! I am an American and we often beat ourselves up and forget what we should feel proud of. Speaking from myself I am so thankful for all our allies around the world.
Thanks Don Father for reacting to this version of the Star spangled banner!! It’s one of my favorites!!! It absolutely rocks! You can just feel the patriotic blood surging through your veins....🇺🇸..Merica 🇺🇸💪🏻
Best version that raised my hair on my arms and stopped me breathing was on the July 4 th up in Haight/Ashbury in San Francisco California...a guy on his porch full blast and flawless...with his electric guitar...the street slowed and stopped and I think it was a full 10 seconds after the finish....the roar from everyone on the streets...loved it.
I've never heard this before. I was skeptical when I heard the description but it does actually work! Watch Generation Kill's "Let The Bodies Hit the Floor." That'll amp you up for sure! haha
The national anthem has written brings tears to my eyes whenever I hear it. This version adds a sense of defiance to those that denigrate our great country.
I don't usually like any singer messing with any original classic song at all, but this one makes the anthem much more relevant and relatable. The fact that most members of the band are U.S. Veterans (lead singer Dave Bray is a Navy vet) makes it more impactful, I believe.
I just found your channel and your enthusiasm is infectious!! Thank you so many people are down on America for whatever reason and when we have family who have given it all, it hurts!! So thank you for your patriotism and lobe of this country!! ❤️
He indeed did He could talk about its need for improvement respectfully , he could even be disappointed in some of its leaders but all the while loving this great place and its beautiful people (as a whole) 🇺🇸
First as a 22 year Retired Navy Chief, I figured this would be a disrespectful shit show. Actually Impressed, these young Rockers did friggin good and seemed to give the Proper Respect while showing off their art. Bravo Zulu young men.
Bet Francis Scott Key never imagined this epic version full of energy, so that the people don’t get too complacent‼️😛💕🤣😂 Thank you for not eating and drinking through our anthem. 💕
I love the way they sang the song, and your reaction to it, as always! I don't know if you would be interested in reacting to this but I'll mention it... "The Stars and Stripes Forever," played by The Band of the Grenadier Guards at Blenheim Palace: ua-cam.com/video/jyrmVBfe2Bg/v-deo.html . "The Stars and Stripes Forever" is considered to be "the second national anthem." I love the drama, brashness, and panache of the song, coming from a young punk of a country as it made its place in the world. It is a special honor for me to see it so beautifully played by the Grenadiers. I especially enjoyed hearing the soldier who so perfectly plays the piccolo.
I love this version of our national anthem. And it's so nice to see a person from another country appreciating that flag-waving. Today, we have people IN THIS COUNTRY who dislike the flag waving, and perhaps even dislike this country. Sad to see the USA not given credit for all the progress we've made over the last 50-plus years. Thank you so much for your input!
I know people will say I am Crazy but this is The Best Version I ever Heard by Dave Bray USA and his Former Band Madison Rising! (You Need To Check out More by him!)
Memorial Day in the U.S. May 31st. Please react to Darryl Worley - Have You Forgotten? (Official Video) uploaded by Darryl Worley. As an old school rocker, I love this version!
I was not sure about this , but i love it. i will always love the traditional way of the way its sung. But this really was a surprise and a pleasure. thanks for sharing. A fan from New Hampshire in the USA
if you notice the shirts the band members are wearing through out the video they are military unit shirts. if I remember right all the members of the band are Veterans of the armed services
There once was a boy who lived near Dodger Stadium. He dearly wished to go to a Dodger game and see Fernando Valenzuela pitch. His name was Jose and he was 10 years old. Being that young he couldn’t buy a ticket so he snuck in under the fence. He climbed a pole and found a platform to sit on. Fernando threw a great game and came away with the W. When he got home his Mother asked where he had been for so long. He told her where he had been afraid he might be punished. Happily his Mother was not angry and asked how it was. He told her “people at the game were very nice. Before the game started everyone looked toward me and said JOSE CAN YOU SEE?”
The fire department raising the flag over the twin towers was not just in defiance of the terrorist. They were raising the flag over the victim, their fallen friends and comrades of the fire department and the police department.
Jimi Hendrix's performance of this at Woodstock defined a generation because: Jimi was fresh back from Vietnam and he makes that upsidedown Fender emit the sounds of the bombings, destruction and death of war. When asked if it bothered him that people were calling it sacrilege, he replied "I thought it was beautiful."
We Americans fight amoung ourselves but we will come together to fight an invading force. Then after we destroy the enemy, we will go back to fighting our American brothers and sisters. It is what it is. Don't mess with the USA. PS, I cry every time I hear this song. My ancestors have fought in every war including the Revolutionary War.
I don’t understand why in the hell this could get a thumbs down. Ty good sir for your respect and videos. You would be welcome in my little Oklahoma country home anytime
One new flag, lifted and folded from covering the coffin during the ceremony, is given to either the spouse, parents, child, or sibling of any deceased soldier whether active, discharged or retired. It can also be handed to any designated representative, whether a service member or not, so long as they can show a relationship to the deceased should there be no living relatives. Our military/government (through the Department of Veteran Affairs) will issue any and all medals and decorations of a deceased service member to the heir/spouse etc of a service member one time as replacements or honorarium.
Hello from , Texas . Love your reactions about all subjects . Did you know your a Hillbilly cowboy . If you don't believe me just watch Hillbilly Bone sung by Home Free . You can watch both music video or their live version . But yes you will know if you have a Hillbilly Bone inside you . Sorry so late to respond . Love your reactions
Greetings, If you have not yet heard the 2nd verse of The Star Spangled Banner, PLEASE Google it. The words always make me tear up. God bless you and God Bless Scotland🙏
Try Bobby Vinton..Mr Lonely..About a soldier..I always thought about my brother who was in Viet N. because he was there at the same time this song came out..Also he has other beautiful songs
I am what they call here a half-breed. I am half white and my Daddy was 100% native American but look for XIt it will tell our story. Government says it was militant blah blah... you dont have to play it on your show but look for XIT no reservations live reunion. It was 20 years ago but still powerful for the handful of us left.
The Star Spangled Banner is a very hard song to sing for the average person. I don't know why but seeing your title I thought it might be easier. Many Rock songs are easy to sing. But of course, this one is harder than the original. Oh well . . . It is alright. It has a place but not likely to catch on with many. This version will be played in some places but not many. The original itself almost didn't become the national anthem either, probably due in no small part to being hard to sing. The official choice of a national anthem was surprisingly not that long ago. There are probably a few very old folks that remember the discussion between it & America the Beautiful among others. So we aren't about to change now. We are stuck with music that is very easy to start singing in the wrong key. LOL!!
That's my country right there. I love it. Home of the mighty and the brave.
YES!!!!!
LET’S GO!!!!
God bless America!!
We know freedom isn't free. We will never give up. Thank you for your dedication to the US. 🇺🇲❤️
Don, thank you for all of these as we in America celebrate our Veterans on May 31st - Memorial Day.
To all that have served - Thank you and God Bless!
I may not always agree with our government but I love my country. Thank you for sharing this. 🇺🇸
Didn’t expect to like this, but it really works. I’m proud of my adopted country. A transplanted Geordie.
I have never heard it done this way but I am so happy to see the young ones getting it. Gives me hope for our future generations.
I also was skeptical, but it gave me goosebumps! I am also a transplant, but from South Africa... and a proud American since 2010.
And we are proud and happy to have you I hope you stay safe and have a blessed Memorial Day
@@aletmartins6940 we are happy to have you join us hope you stay safe and have a blessed Memorial Day
@@PECOSO0 have a blessed Memorial Day and safe week

Very sincere. More conviction than any version I've ever heard before.
The band nailed it 💙💚❤
That performance is reminiscent of the reaction of the sentinels at the Tomb of the Unknowns when someone is disrespectful. Thank you for doing tribute to the fallen so proudly on our traditional Memorial Day.
Jimmy Hendricks made a huge statement with that🇺🇸❤️

What an AWESOME production
Thank You so much 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I’m in South Africa 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 WWG1WGA
Oh Hell yeah!!!! Ooh Ra!!!!
Loved this! First time hearing this so thank you! Happy memorial day weekend to everyone! Thank you for your service and sacrifice! ❤️🇺🇸
I've always loved this the most...THIS ROCKS AND HITS THE FEELINGS HARD!! Especially being an American!!
Thanks Don Father for reacting to this version of the Star spangled banner!! It’s one of my favorites!!! It absolutely rocks! You can just feel the patriotic blood surging through your veins....🇺🇸..Merica 🇺🇸💪🏻
Best cover of our anthem there is. Nothing but pride in their performance. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

My ABSOLUTE FAVORITE version of this!!!!!!! Absolutely LOVE IT. Dave BrAY IS a true Patriot
This has to be one of the best gritty version so powerful and yeah love how America is so patriotic. Wish Australia was the same.
My favorite rendition of the Star Spangled Banner!
I've never heard this before. I was skeptical when I heard the description but it does actually work! Watch Generation Kill's "Let The Bodies Hit the Floor." That'll amp you up for sure! haha
TBH I wasn't exactly how sure I would be about a "rock" version of my lovely anthem but this actually works.
The national anthem has written brings tears to my eyes whenever I hear it. This version adds a sense of defiance to those that denigrate our great country.
I don't usually like any singer messing with any original classic song at all, but this one makes the anthem much more relevant and relatable. The fact that most members of the band are U.S. Veterans (lead singer Dave Bray is a Navy vet) makes it more impactful, I believe.
Thank you so much for this. This version is my favorite behind the original.
Good job! Wasn't feeling it at first, but it got to me.
I had never heard this version. This was Fantastic!!! Great one to see since this is Memorial Weekend. Enjoyed this one very much. Stay safe.🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Then listen to Ted Nugent opening a football game! Both Boston and Ted are instrumentals . . . Both are POWER!
You have GOT to see The Star Spangled by Boston! The opening of a football game . . . Beatiful!
Amen
Many concerts start with our nation's anthem then go right into boston's anthem- rock n roll band
Land of the Free, Home of the Brave.
A Robertson here and yes proud American and I love Madison Rising...ooh raah
I just found your channel and your enthusiasm is infectious!! Thank you so many people are down on America for whatever reason and when we have family who have given it all, it hurts!! So thank you for your patriotism and lobe of this country!! ❤️
Now try Jimi Hendrix's version of the song...As a veteran, he loved his country.
He indeed did
He could talk about its need for improvement respectfully , he could even be disappointed in some of its leaders but all the while loving this great place and its beautiful people (as a whole)
🇺🇸
Madison Rising is also made up of US veterans.
Love it love it 😀 thank you . Big hugs
Love the Line “For those unaware, the flag is still there”! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Yes!
Goosebumps!
First as a 22 year Retired Navy Chief, I figured this would be a disrespectful shit show. Actually Impressed, these young Rockers did friggin good and seemed to give the Proper Respect while showing off their art. Bravo Zulu young men.
I absolutely love this version!!
All the members are veterans
Bet Francis Scott Key never imagined this epic version full of energy, so that the people don’t get too complacent‼️😛💕🤣😂 Thank you for not eating and drinking through our anthem. 💕

Brilliant. Our flag stands for the people not the government. So yes we are proud of our flag.
This is my favorite version besides the original
Hell YEAH! 💪🏼❤️🇺🇸
South Carolina loves the Don Father!

Now it's time to review Jimmie Hindrex version from Woodstock. Hendrix was a veteran.
One of the best versions turned into rock. 💕
Americans are very proud we have a lot of love for our country
if you notice the shirts the band members are wearing through out the video they are military unit shirts. if I remember right all the members of the band are Veterans of the armed services
I totally got chills all over listening to that 🤗💕
One of the most .. unique .. versions of America's National Anthem I ever heard. Strong.
There once was a boy who lived near Dodger Stadium. He dearly wished to go to a Dodger game and see Fernando Valenzuela pitch. His name was Jose and he was 10 years old.

Dave Bray, US Navy Veteran ♥️
I saw them in live! even have an autographed cd from Dave! He is local to me, a Pennsylvania guy.
I loved this
the lead singer served in the military
I LOVED IT!!!

Oh... don't mess with the grannies. They are gun owners too and pretty darn good shots.
Can you react to Madison Risings version of The Marine’s Hymn

Wow. This old rocker is greatly impressed. I've not heard this before.
Now, please, please, please do the Jimi Hendrix version.
I was thinking the very same thing.
Greetings,
If you have not yet heard the 2nd verse of The Star Spangled Banner, PLEASE Google it. The words always make me tear up. God bless you and God Bless Scotland🙏
Hell yeah, US of A. We are unapologetic. We fought the Brits for freedom, we will fight to have it again.
Madison Rising is a band completely consisting of veterans. Their music is very patriotic.
Try Bobby Vinton..Mr Lonely..About a soldier..I always thought about my brother who was in Viet N. because he was there at the same time this song came out..Also he has other beautiful songs
Whitney Houston sings the best national athem ever
Awesome!
I was married for over twenty years I would never have left you out
This is the best one
You should listen to Jimi Hendrix version
Love it, like me they are veterans.
The band members were all ex military. Wish they were still together. Another song of theirs is before the hyphens came.
I am what they call here a half-breed. I am half white and my Daddy was 100% native American but look for XIt it will tell our story.

FYI they are all former military
