Question about European shows

[Donnie Darko]

I was talking to a friend of mine about Iced Earth setlists and she brought up an interesting point. I see the Iced Earth will be playing/has played some European metal festivals and I was wondering if they will open with the Star Spangled Banner at those shows and other European gigs. It seems like it would be mainly a thing for the American shows but at the same time its also the first track on the Glorious Burden. Anyone have the answer to this??

I hope they're not that stupid.

I doubt it. When they opened with it on the tour with In Flames and Panzer they didnt do it in Canada. That would be pretty fucking tasteless to me.

Again with the Barlow.....

They opened with Declaration Day.

yeah, they have not opened with that song outside of the US. The only person that I know of playing that song out side the US is Zakk Wylde. But he did it in his guitar solo on Ozzy's Live At The Budokon. I'm sure it's just something he likes to play when he's soloing like evey body else.
