Of all people, WWE hired TOOL guitarist Adam Jones to come in and perform the national anthem at the 2011 SummerSlam. Who would've thought Adam was a fan of WWE? How do you think this performance stacks against Yngwie's recent national anthem shreddage [link] ?

I think Adam wins due to the amount of people he played in front of, versus Yngwie, who played in front of all twenty six diehard Marlins fans and some angry seagulls that flew away after the wankery commenced.
yeah. Adam's version overwhelmingly pwns Yngwie's rendition.
Sincerely, this hurts my ears. And I'm not even american whatsoever.
Yingwie's version just burns this one completly, as every guitar player would expect.
But then again, Adam plays in Tool. I can't expect the guy to know how to play a guitar properly.
Did you really just try and use him playing him Tool as a reason to not know how to play guitar... Not sure if really stupid, or trolling, OR just never actually listened to Tool.
Lmao! This version is even worst, and it appears people like it better, lolololol!
these dumb americans are easily impressed by Adam's drop D tuning and his hammer ons and pull offs
Nice rendition without all the faggotry guitar wankery that most people think is cool.
Wow, a lot of bashing from too many people who believe that metal is only made up of drop c breakdowns and pig squeels. The National Anthem is corny and has nothing to do with the music that Adam Jones writes himself. He was paid to play at some fake ass wrestling tournament that people waste too much money on anyway.
WTF
Who wins? What a load of SHAT!
I hope he got paid enough to retire, coz this is some embarrassing, lame arse, only in america , cant possibly be taken seriously ever again, vomit inducing, wookie lost his penis...........BULLSHIT!
#shameonyouadam
I think Zakk Wyldes version beats all other attemps
its not like anyone knew who he was there anyway
Opinions are like assholes, and there are a bunch of either here.
Well I'm really glad you guys didn't have to listen to any wankery. Too bad Jones FUCKED UP the song at :40 secs. I bet he got paid pretty well to do that gig.....it's a shame he was too much of a punkass to roll up his sleeves and do a little woodshedding beforehand, and learn the damn tune. That is simply poor musicianship. And that's more than my opinion. Listen at :40 secs......has he been hanging out with Dragonforce??
Anybody who thinks this was poor just needs to shut the fuck up. 1.) He didn't fuck up the song. It's called artistic freedom & interpretation. He plays it how he feels like playing it. Did anyone bitch when Hendrix played the National Anthem at Woodstock? (2.) Adam didn't embarrass himself or lose any kind of standing in the guitar playing world. He didn't sell out either. His band has won fucking Grammy's. Have you seen the uptight shitheads that attend those parties? If anything, people should be mad at him for wasting his time there instead of writing new music for Tool. If any of you fucks can play it better than him, then how come you're all sitting at home talking shit?
