Guns N' Roses keyboardist Melissa Reese sang the national anthem prior to the Seattle Seahawks' October 16 game versus the Atlanta Falcons at CenturyLink Field in Seattle, Washington. Check out video footage of her performance below.

A Seattle native, Reese made her live debut with Guns N' Roses on April 1 at the band's warm-up show at The Troubadour in West Hollywood, California. Her connection with Guns N' Roses reportedly comes via Bryan "Brain" Mantia, who drummed with the group from 2000 until 2006. The two have collaborated extensively, composing music for video games, commercials and the score for the horror film "Detention". They've also performed on "Best Regards", the five-CD set by another former Guns N' Roses member, Buckethead, and its follow-up, "Kind Regards".

Guns N' Roses Bassist Duff McKagan Raises 12 Flag At Seahawks Vs. Falcons Game In Seattle

Guns N' Roses bassist Duff McKagan spoke to Seahawks.com about the experience of raising the 12 Flag before the Seahawks and Falcons face-off on October 16 at CenturyLink Field in Seattle, Washington. Check out the clip at this location.

The impact of Seattle fans had such an impact on the success of the team in the 1980s that Seahawks president Mike McCormack retired the number 12 jersey on December 15, 1984 forever.

The tradition of the 12 Flag began October 12, 2003, when 12 original season ticket holders hoisted the flag prior to kickoff.

At every home game just before kickoff, the flag is raised in honor of the 12s. From former Seahawks greats, to local celebrities and sports personalities, being called upon to raise the flag has become an honor within itself.
