Man Arrested For Playing National Anthem

July 12, 2015by JoecephusNo Comments

Apparently its illegal to be American now…

Via The UK Daily Mail:

A 22-year-old Florida rocker was arrested and charged with breaching the peace after his inspired performance of the Star Spangled Banner on the Fourth of July drew a crowd of nearly 200 people.

Lane Pittman was shredding with a guitar and amp to the delight of holiday revelers when officers from the Neptune Beach Police Department asked him to move from the street to the sidewalk.

Pittman complied and then launched into his rendition of the National Anthem before transitioning into a version of Ted Nugent’s Stranglehold, as seen in a video shot on July 4 around 3pm.

As members of the crowd applauded and chanted, officers approached Pittman and had a brief conversation with the guitarist before leading him away, leaving friends to deal with his equipment.

Pittman was handcuffed, taken to the police station, given a notice to appear and charged with misdemeanor breach of the peace, according to News4Jax.

According to Pittman, officers said they considered charging him with inciting a riot and keeping him in jail overnight.

He said: ‘That blows my mind, because it was peaceful up until the time they arrested me.

‘I don’t think I ever played that song as good in my life as I did on that day. Read More…

Inciting a riot? Really?!?!? Where?

Fucktards.

So much for land of the free…

Dave Mustaine Performs The National Anthem

May 29, 2014by JoecephusNo Comments

Dave-MustaineA few weeks back, during Metallica Night at AT&T Park in the People’s Republic of San Fransicko, James Hetfield & Kirk Hammet of Metallica performed the National Anthem before the Giants game.

Now unrelated to that, here is a studio recorded version of the Star Spangled Banner, done by onetime Metallica guitarist, Dave Mustaine for the upcoming Dinesh D’Souza documentary ‘America.’ This also marks 45 years since Jimi Hendrix recorded his famous version of the song.

Via The Hollywood Reporter:

“First off, no version of our national anthem is or will ever be better than the original,” Mustaine said. “My inspiration and take on the song for the film was our Founding Fathers and wondering what they would think of us today if they saw what we had become. My hope for America is that we’ll become a nation they’d be proud of again and I tried to capture that with my guitar.”

The video, which is embedded below along with the Hendrix version at Woodstock, consists of audio of Mustaine playing guitar to snippets of the movie, and it acts as a teaser trailer for America. Read More…

Anthrax’s Joey Belladona sings the National Anthem

April 7, 2013by JoecephusNo Comments

“The Star Spangled Banner is not an easy song to sing. I’m not just talking about famously bad version’s like Roseanne Barr’s, actually talented and professionally trained singers have a hard time with the song. Just ask Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler or Christina Aguilera.

It is a song that not only requires someone with an amazingly wide vocal range, but somebody who understands that you simply can’t fuck up the National friggin’ Anthem.

So I bring to you Anthrax lead singer Joey Belladona:

I agree with his band mate Scott Ian, who took the video. Joey “nailed it.”
