Hilarious! Chris hayes is showing clips of the Saudis official band

[drray23]

Playing and butchering the US anthem. Even Trump was wtf ? . Now Putin comes visit and they attempt to play the Russian anthem with the same bad outcome. Putin did not look amused.

[malaise]

1. I did laugh

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. That has to be the worst military band in the world.

I've heard better middle school bands.

3. When you are S. Arabia, I guess you don't have to make the effort...LOL

They really were horrible. A high school marching band in the US could have knocked them over.

Putin probably thought it was an intentional insult.

[IADEMO2004]

4. Chris said their motto is "We never practice"

[LeftInTX]

5. is this it?

[hatrack]

10. Jesus, those guys fucking SUCK!!!

Maybe if they spent less time cutting peoples' heads off and spent more time in rehearsal . . .

Oh, shit, what's the use. Pathetic.

[hatrack]

12. 1:03 to get right to the heart of the musical matter . . .

Wow. Goats with horns (not that kind of horn).

[TomSlick]

6. Attached is the clip Chris showed.

Fair warning - it's painfully bad.

I would have thought the Saudis could afford a decent band.

[LeftInTX]

7. The US anthem sounded like a mediocre high school band

The Russian anthem was WTF??

[TomSlick]

8. A reasonably good eight grade band would be better.

[Generic Other]

15. My junior high band teacher

would have collected all our instruments and thrown them in the bay.

[bdamomma]

9. Our High School

bands play better than them. Sounded horrible.

[dalton99a]

11. Better than Egypt

[hatrack]

13. Stop, you're killing me!!!

Choking with laughter here. Wow.

[Skittles]

14. what are the chances they are doing that on purpose

just saying

[Generic Other]

16. No one can be that bad on purpose

The expression on Putin's face was priceless.

[morningglory]

17. Why can't Indian/arab bandsmen even tune an instrument? nt

Why?

[Ilsa]

18. Are they not using the same musical

Constructs as the rest of the world? Do they not understand dissonance and pitch? Their playing is bad enough to ruin the ear of anyone with perfect pitch.

[BadGimp]

19. That was #brutal

[JonLP24]

20. It didn't sound that bad

There are a million things I will criticize Saudi Arabia for this isn't one of them.
