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

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.

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.

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

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.
