Joey Belladonna sings the National Anthem on MNF.
Anthrax lead singer Joey Belladonna sang the National Anthem tonight. Just before the Seahawks and Bears took the field, he stood in the middle of Lumen Field and belted out his version of the Star-Spangled Banner.

Over the last few years, some singers have been roasted for their renditions of the Anthem. Earlier this month, Pat Monahan and his son got blasted for their version.
Consequently, those two can now rest knowing that somebody else is now being blasted.
Joey Belladonna should probably stay out of social media tonight. Just before the Seahawks-Bears game, he sang the Anthem. Unfortunately, not a lot of fans online liked it very much.

It might not have been the best, but it was far from the worst. Nevertheless, he is the lead singer for a reason. As the frontman of Anthrax, he earned six Grammy nominations for Best Metal Performance.
Moreover, he was also voted the number one metal vocalist two years in a row by the prominent British publication Metal Forces magazine.
