The Star Spangled Banner - by Madison Rising

[@cindyhammontree5534]

I can start playing it again!

[@KimSmith-v5k]

Ever since this video dropped 11 yrs ago... I try and watch it at least 4 or 5 times a yr. I have shown this to every family member and friend... For me, this is the greatest video and rendition of Our National Anthem... which is the GREATEST Anthem on Earth.

[@richarddouglashelms6376]

ABSO-ROCKIN'-LUTELY!!

[@0113rusty]

I completely and totally agree with everything you’ve said. I usually wouldn’t like anybody messing around with such an iconic song as this but I absolutely love this version.

[@lori9204]

My sentiments exactly!

[@marydenisemcclain3019]

I still watch this average of 5x a day

[@rickroderick6385]

concur

[@cpvsgvmnt2116]

Its Jan 31st, 2024. I come back to this and show people all the rime. I hate when people try to do their own version.. except this one! I love this version. USMC

[@raycollins4067]

November 8, 2024. Seems more appropriate now! USMC!

[@cpvsgvmnt2116]

@raycollins4067 yeah.. still awesome

[@jimd1981]

“For those unaware…that flag is still there! It’s our future to save this land of the brave, the U.S. of A!” That about sums it up for me. May God Bless and Protect our great nation.

[@lulugodzilla]

May 2023, this gets my red, white, and blue blood stirring even more. God will bless America again.

[@trishmich1864]

Toby Keith died today.....listen to Courtesy of The Red, White and Blue. Bring kleenex.

[@stacyheadley6063]

I’m 64 and a Star Spangled Banner purist. I can’t stand when singers throw all those runs in. This version has become my absolute favorite version. The feeling projected in his singing is amazing. Well done. I read somewhere that they caught a lot of flack when the performed it at a stadium. Sad.

[@roysherman9534]

For me, this version of the song BARELY surpasses Hendrix's version during Woodstock, but I just listened to this again (6 times) after not listening to it for a few years. As far as catching flack for it, it is probably a handful of Karens that complained about it because they are too "woke" to handle the extra lyrics added to it.

[@leevanciel3397]

I agree this version is one of the best

[@2iceblest]

I feel the same!! They put emphasis on the battle, hard fought and costly to create these United States!! We must never forget again!!!

[@romeo82587]

I never hear they got any flack in fact I tried to get them to preform at the SUPER BOWL here in New Jersey but they couldn't because they were booked a radio jockey Jody Mac from WFAN sports radio I got hooked up with him did you know they were expecting 1 MILLION hits but they got over 10 MILLION to bad he never hook up with TRUMP when he was running in 2016

[@romeo82587]

Oh I forgot to tell you the lead singer was A x NAVY SEAL

[@theseifexperience6863]

This version of the Star Spangled Banner always brings a tear to my eye, especially considering the blood my family has spilt for this country ✊🏻🇺🇸

[@richarddouglashelms6376]

🦅🙏🇺🇲👆🗽

[@markanthonymarla]

I CAN NEVER GET ENOUGH OF THIS PATRIOTIC SONG ..... Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land, land of the free and the home of the brave? Because we are the brave Yes we are the brave We'll fight tyranny In the name of the free We are the U.S. of A For those unaware That flag is still there It's our future to save This land of the brave The U.S. of A Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land, land of the free and the home of the brave?

[@denawrona2467]

I love Madison rising singing star spangled banner the 1st time I heard it. Now, Feb. 2023 it is how I remember the US of A back then, the Pledge of Allegiance and all & it was most Americans. I want to feel that again so none of our battles were in vain. God Bless America. Amen

[@raymcdaniel1671]

Stopped by to give it a listen Nov 6th, 2024. Celebrating Trump's landslide win tonight! AMERICA IS SO BACK BABY!!! MAGA 2024!!! LFG!!!

[@raycollins4067]

Same! 11/08/2024

[@HELEN38]

I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A PATRIOTIC PERSON BUT LISTENING TO THIS VERSION OF THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER MAKES ME ALL THE MORE PROUD BECAUSE THIS BAND DOES PUT FEELINGS IN THIS VERSION..I JUST CAN'T EXPRESS HOW I FELT WHEN I FIRST HEARD IT..THIS GREAT GRANDMA DOES LOVE IT!!!BLESS YOU MADISON RISING FOR RECORDING IT..

[@richarddouglashelms6376]

BLESS YOU!!

[@jesi3336]

I have always been a bit of a "National Anthem" purist and not fond of personalized renditions... But this version gives me chills...makes me cry...and lifts my spirit. It is not just the National Anthem...but also reflects what I know to be an American...pride in who I am and where I am privileged to live... with a history of defiance towards anyone and anything that would want to hold me down or back or control me or my thoughts...that would want to remove my freedom. This is the spirit of Americans that fought on the beaches of Omaha and Iwo Jima. God Bless America...and THANK YOU Madison Rising.🇺🇸❤️😢

[@ginadisbrow9324]

I'm a 59 yr old, ultra conservative, patriot. I LOVE this rendition!! Dave Bray already had me at former USN, but this one blew my skirt up over the top!!! Much success and happiness brother and company! ✝✈⚓🙏💪

[@danielkennedy5602]

My great uncle Timothy Dobbs fought in and survived ww2, and my great other great uncle Jesse Creaseman served in Vietnam. I am more than thankful to ever single man and woman who have shed blood, sweat and tears for our freedoms and I cannot play this song loud enough!

[@jbcoker]

Many years ago I commented on a version of this video. The band's manager reached out to me and offered a complimentary CD. I was working as a contractor in Kuwait at the time. When the disco arrived I was so pleased. What a great American rock band. Wish they could've stayed together.

[@rickroderick6385]

BAD ASS MAX EFFORT GREAT BAND Brevard County east Coast Florida love these patriots

[@dorothylowsky9515]

My favorite version of this song.

[@drierrain]

Best rendition of the song I've ever heard!

[@jmba1950]

I saw this rendition first on the We The People Convention podcast today. It followed an excellent presentation of today's news and our nation's current precarious situation. I'm closing in on 74 years and am proud to have taught our country's history at the university level for 15 years. I am a proud patriot, and contrary to my age group, I was blown away by this rendition of what I consider to be a sacred song. Although I taught the histories of many countries, my field of specialization was American, narrowed to the 19th century, narrowed further to the Civil War. This rendition was reminescent to me of rallying war cries via inspirational music. I've sung this song all of my life in various settings, but have never experienced the inspiration this rendition brought to me today following our WTOCs (aka Portage County TEA-- Taxed Enough Already, became Thoroughly Engaged Americans-- Party in Ohio) podcast for a serious call to action to save this country. I thank Madison Rising for this and their contributions to the effort to save our nation. I am now a devoted follower and promoter of this group. And if anyone here is interested in a site that is dedicated to exposing the truth about what is happening, I strongly recommend the podcast on Saturday mornings for We the People Convention, now available in many places, including sound only on Rumble. First we were forced to change our name ( not really, for we founded the actual convention in 2010, but then were more properly named the Portage County TEA Party; but Google played games with our communications so we used WTPC, then more recently on MAY 3, Friday, we were cyber hacked, so our website is down, until sometime this week). But that was not my purpose for commenting. My purpose was to congratulate and express my admiration for Madison Rising. They truly are an asset for all of us, but most likely especially for the younger generations who will be leading this nation in the near future. Madison Rising has made an important part of our history and culture relevant to today and moving forward.

[@arodgoogle6327]

Thank you Madison Rising for your version of our national anthem! May GOD have mercy on our nation because we have turned our backs on HIM and have forgotten all the blood that our soldiers have sacrificed and their families had to endure! MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON THE US of A.

[@VCASTANZA]

I generally do not like "creative interpretation" of the National Anthem but this is AWESOME! I agree with the other comments- they should perform at the Superbowl!

[@josephscovell989]

I agree, or the next Presidential Inauguration!

[@michael7557]

Or open at every Trump Rally between now and November 2024!!@@josephscovell989

[@pamg2926]

This is what we are all about. Im a grandma and I almost cried watching and listening to this video. So proud of this young man putting his heart into this video. Thank you for posting Phillip. I will pass this on. God bless our nation. 🥲

[@Shedhunter2]

I tear up every time I watch it!

[@patfo49]

I normally don't like any changes in how the Star Spangled Banner is sung, I'm from Baltimore and that is what we call it, but this is great! I especially like it because this guy is a patriot and knows what the song means. Not like the liberal Obama supporting singers who don't have a clue! Madison Rising is named after James Madison and they should be playing this at the Super Bowl..America's game!!

[@lmh2png]

We need this today, more than ever.

[@rgrim7409]

I can listen to this every day. Has anyone noticed the mike stand has a grenade in it? Hopefully it's not live. But I guess it would a nice touch for any haters.

[@Paul-t9i5l]

You should do this at the SUPERBOWL. I can only imagine the yells🎉❤😢😢

[@kaitlynchacon4003]

I love my country 🇺🇸

[@patruhle4381]

How does this have so few views? BEST RENDITION EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@raysmith4734]

President Abraham Lincoln, March 30, 1863: "We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven; we have been preserved these many years in peace and prosperity; we have grown in numbers, wealth, and power as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us, and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us. It behooves us, then, to humble ourselves before the offended Power, to confess our national sins, and to pray for clemency and forgiveness.”

[@eileencraig7641]

Magnificent. Made me tear up. Just might be my favorite rendition.

[@2iceblest]

My FAVORITE version!!

[@zillamon]

Awesome! Bold! Powerful! Inspiring! Now THAT'S the way to sing it! Let's make this version the new way to boldly profess what our country stands for! We are all Americans and we stand for truth, liberty hand freedom for ALL!

[@yongkim777]

Best rendition on the National Anthem that I have ever heard!🇺🇸

This is a kickass version; first time hearing it.

[@tammydoyle5679]

Makes me cry well done

[@theodorabruin4601]

Beautiful rendition. This is not an easy song to sing.

[@terribulian]

I didn't think I was going to like it -- but it rocked this grandma! I love, love, love it. The passion for our country is definitely seen and heard in this. I love my country and was so proud to listen to this even with tears streaming down my face. Thanks so much for this!

[@Shedhunter2]

Tears streaming down my face!!

Very awesome. Should be played at patriotic events and on the radio.

This video chokes me up every time I watch it. This is the best version of The Star Spangled Banner that I have ever heard. Thank you!

[@kellystine9083]

I absolutely love this version!!! Every time that some self-indulgent athlete kneels during the Star Spangled Banner AKA the USA National Anthem I want to kick them in the ass. It is an insult to every Veteran, who still stands and salutes our Anthem and our FLAG. It is an insult to every service member that gave the ultimate sacrifice for their country, at war or not. This is a heroic and rocking version that all service members, past, present and future, can enjoy and celebrate!! Thank you, Madison Rising!!!

[@nathanhunter8740]

one of the best versions

[@jxschw]

the pics from the old Chicago Stadium during the Gulf War, and before the NHL All Star game, are awesome!!! I remember that anthem playing like it was yesterday. Do yourself a favor some day and go to a Blackhawks home game and listen to Jim Cornelison sing the anthem. It will give you chills!!! Hopefully the hockey game will be as entertaining...but that might take a few more years of rebuilding
