Zakk Wylde's performance of the National Anthem at the Seahawks game featured a shred-metal approach, evoking Jimi Hendrix's iconic Woodstock rendition, blending heavy metal with patriotism.
Wylde's guitar work included finger tapping and creative effects, stretching out the melody of 'The Star-Spangled Banner,' appealing to a mainstream audience while maintaining his metal roots.
Reactions were mixed; while many praised the performance as 'badass,' some critique emerged, highlighting the polarizing perspectives on heavy metal's place in traditional settings.
Though not from Seattle, Wylde's recent tour with the Experience Hendrix had him performing across the country, showcasing his deep connection to the legacy of Jimi Hendrix.
