Last Friday, the 1st, Testament guitarist Alex Skolnick played the United States national anthem during the Chicago Bulls' game against the Detroit Pistons.

The performance is a major milestone for the musician, as it's more common for singers to perform the anthem. The instrumentalist wore a Bulls t-shirt during the show and shared a clip of the performance on his social media.

Metal Allegiance group – the supergroup the guitarist is part of – also shared a video of the performance. See the videos below.
