Jerry Cantrell Performs National Anthem Prior To Kickoff Of Week 8

[@lonehawk71]

He could have sung it as well. Dude has a killer voice. 🇺🇸

[@Thrash_ranch]

does he sing rap?

[@Thrash_ranch]

@mikedavis8008 did you mean cRAP? In the words of Peter Steele “rap or crap is bad poetry by people who cannot sing”

[@Nominay]

Bizarre that he didn't just replace Layne instead of hire someone else. I like his no nonsense but Cantrellish approach to a song I really can't stand.

[@josephborderline]

​@@Thrash_ranchnow go and listen to GZA's Spark and slap yourself on the hand for typing this bs

[@MrMirack]

​@Nominay you prefer the German national anthem I assume?

[@karenmarie5775]

The best of the best. My favorite guitarist. Love ya Jerry Cantrell, and thank you, Seahawks, for having him. 🤘🏻🤍

Thanks for having Jerry Alice In Chains Cantrell instead of sone rap crap or modern day zombie rnb artist without a clear gender

I was like I was like oh my dog 🐕

Ty Seahawks for supporting BLM because it's important to promote ' the destruction of the white family in America. " I still watch the BLM NFL only because I'm a lame follower who is grasping to be trendy, and will put entertainment before my family.

[@ricardobjj24]

Some of the best music came out of our city from Jimi Hendrix to Nirvana, Alice In Chains & Pearl Jam. Can't get any better than that

All the music and artist that came from Seattle during the late 80s early 90s remain my favorite go to music. Loved seeing Jerry Cantrell playing the anthem this past weekend.

[@willyburtz7299]

YEah, did they cut him off?

[@amostlyreasonableguy]

@@willyburtz7299if they did, to be fair, he did start just riffing well after the conclusion of the song.

[@Chadillac-xq7xk]

​@@willyburtz7299idk if it's different for a famous musician. He's probably used to be hooked up to Loud amps and playing in a stadium. But if I had to do the national anthem with that setup, I'm for sure jamming a bit afterwords. 🤣

[@skylark4901]

😆

[@ia5662]

I felt a quick "Man In The Box" coming in there

[@SHIFTYCHEF]

Tasteful. So many instrumentalists and singers overplay and bastardize the melody of the National Anthem. Jerry is on point here, and awesome as always.

[@samsmith4216]

Only one person could do that as a statement and story with honest, original sincerity without staying confined to the commonly used format. That person is Jimi Hendrix. All others are contrived.

I was thinking exactly what you said. Jerry did the Anthem justice.

Check out satriani’s version. It’s extremely musical.

My Seattle Guitar Hero!! So happy to see Jerry open a Hawks game, it just makes me even more motivated to support. Go Hawks 💚💙

[@rustyramsey7845]

He needs to play that for a good team. Eagles.

[@ottomatic3123]

Awesome, I've always wanted to hear Jerry play the anthem. It took me 30 years, but I can now die in peace...someday far away...

[@Jowls2024]

I've played The Anthem a 💯 times, and I still have a hard time nailing it! WTG Jerry! Let's go Hawks!

[@ricktheexplorer]

The best, most fun music came from this Man. AiC is timeless.

[@BadManN_TheBushes]

Gotta appreciate the music from the northwest big time. Seattle gave The World some of the best musical talent there ever was. Thanks to the dreary weather and the bright young minds 🙏🏼 Carry on in Glory Llayne Chris and Kurt

Jerry's Dad is a Viet Nam Veteran. He was the subject of the song Rooster. It's good to see a Patriotic Rocker.

[@mattdavis8473]

Jerry Cantrell is such a talented singer, songwriter and musician, he has stood the test of time throughout all the trials and tribulations in his life, things could have gone much differently for him but he persevered and is a music icon in my opinion 🎙️🎸🩶

I'm a long time guitar player and Jerry's one of the greats the guy really rocks great Rifts

[@louisegardenia7674]

America has the most beautiful national anthem, it always gives me goosebumps. I grew up in New Zealand and ours is terrible. Jerry has always been incredibly talented!

[@KellieHale]

As a fellow American I thank you! ♥️ 🇺🇸

[@RLRthings]

He is. Which is why it's frustrating to watch his play such an uninspired version. That was pathetic

Did you see Chris Stapleton perform it at the Superbowl?

Something about Seattle around and the national anthem that just speaks to the hardiness of the area

It was nice to see Mr. Cantrell still kickin' it . Also , I miss Layne ............

Damn, I'm old if Jerrys looking that old. Man how time flies, seems like yesterday just seeing them and others for the first time.....

[@chrisg7731]

Jerry aged quickly. For the first, like, decade of their reunion he looked amazing. And now he looks like Colonel Sanders went to Woodstock. He still looks better than a lot of his peers, though. I mean, how's Kurt Cobain looking these days? Oooof

[@jolenegall5545]

AIC is my favorite grunge band. Jerry and Layne's harmonies were epic.
