  1. I thought that this video was very cool and upbeat. I really did not like how Zakk Wylde played the national anthem. But I thought he kept up a good energy in his performance, which was enjoyable and cool to watch. He seems very talented in playing guitar and he looks like he is having a really good time playing the national anthem. I liked Zakk Wylde’s guitar, it looks really amazing. The guitar playing was very upbeat and energetic.

  2. I think that Zakk Wylde's guitar is beast. Love the hypnotizing affect that the guitar design gives off. I like the idea of playing the National Anthem with the electric guitar. It adds a "rockish", "metalish" sound to a traditional American song. It takes a classic song and turns it upside down. I really think that Wylde over played the National Anthem. He should have kept it simple. The extra theatrics were too much. It kinda killed the song. My advice to Wylde, rock out, but not too hard.

  3. Duuuuuddeeee... His guitar was absolutely positively AMAZING! It kind of made the whole performance for me. I think his performance was just astounding. His version of the national anthem is incredible in my opinion. I think in some places he might have rocked a little to hard. Because you know, you start to lose the original song in some places... But he always came back to it. I think it was good though, it got everyone pumped and it is a hockey game so hello. Good thing there. But, I know he's really good, because I'm watching a recoding and I got pumped.

  4. I personally hate Zack Wilde’s style of guitar playing. It is far to rough and it seems to me that he uses far too much distortion when he plays, especially this song. He uses far too many pinch harmonics as well; I know it is his signature technique but still. I think that he uses it far too much. It all just sounded almost dirty. And I didn’t like it. I may just not like Zack but I thought this sucked.
