Heavy Metal Sunday celebrates it's independence!

Happy 4th, every one! Now, if you'll all stand and please remove your hats, Zakk Wylde will perform our national anthem:



Since it's also my birthday, we're going off-genre a little for some classic Grateful Dead, the US Blues!



And finally, John Williams conducting the Boston Pops. The Stars and Stripes Forever

A good day to have a birthday on.

Gotta admit, I was expecting Jimi Hendrix.

Except he wasn't really metal. Awesome yes, but his style was far more blues-influenced psychedelic rock. I was frankly surprised at how many version of the anthem I found by good shredders. This was just the best of the lot.
