Trivia
October 2014 Aaron Lewis retired to the ridicule of the public as he before a game of the San Francisco Giants against the Kansas City Royals , the national anthem of the United States sang while reproduced the text wrong. He apologized for this and justified it with nervousness. In 2011 he criticized Christina Aguilera after she performed the anthem incorrectly. He said, "I don't see how people who sing the national anthem can be so fucking self-centered and exchange the words of that damn song. If there's one song in the history of this country that doesn't need creative interpretation, it is this."
