Last year, the Boston Red Sox represented Massachusetts in the World Series. This year, for some odd reason, repping the Bay State is Springfield’s own Aaron Lewis. The Staind front man sang the National Anthem before tonight’s Game 5 between the San Francisco Giants and Kansas City Royals at AT&T Park, and well, he fucked it up.
Good job, dude. You missed a few lines, there.
Bootleg video of the debacle is below, so watch it while it’s still live and FOX pulls the clip. Right where Lewis screws up, even Tim Lincecum is like “WTF.”
Lewis plays Royale in Boston on November 7, and hopefully he’ll stick to songs he wrote himself.
In his defense, it’s probably “been a while” since he sang the Star Spangled Banner.
Here’s some more on this bullshit…

For someone who has DON'T TREAD ON ME tattooed on his neck, Aaron Lewis might want to learn his national anthem before he tries it again.

Hey Aaron Lewis, Bleeding Gums Murphy took an evening to sing the anthem, but at least he got the lyrics right. pic.twitter.com/1RcpsjWA7u

Aaron Lewis messed up the national anthem? Same dude who released a country album full of songs about how much more American he is than us?
