Tenacious D

Searched in the masterlist and can't find this band, so I decided to make a new thread about them.

Tenacious D is an American rock band that was formed in Los Angeles, California in 1994. Composed of lead vocalist and guitarist Jack Black and lead guitarist and vocalist Kyle Gass, the band has released two albums – Tenacious D (2001) and The Pick of Destiny (2006). The band's studio releases, and more recently[when?] its live performances, feature a full band lineup, including such musicians as guitarist John Konesky, bassist John Spiker and Bad Religion drummer Brooks Wackerman.

Tenacious D formed in 1994 when the members performed as an acoustic duo. The band first gained popularity in 1999 when they starred in their eponymous television series and began to support large rock acts. In 2001, they released Tenacious D, their debut album featuring a full band. The first single, "Tribute", was the band's most successful achieving their only Top 10 in any chart, until they released "The Metal", which was first shown at Saturday Night Live. In 2006, they starred in, and recorded the soundtrack for, the film Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny. In support of the film, the band went on a world tour, appearing for the first time with a full band.

Tenacious D's music showcases Black's theatrical vocal delivery and Gass's acoustic guitar playing abilities. Critics have described their fusion of vulgar absurdist comedy with rock music as "mock rock". Their songs discuss the duo's purported musical and sexual prowess, as well as their friendship and cannabis usage in a style that music critics have compared with the storyteller-style lyrics of rock opera.
(Shamelessly ripped from wikipedia)

Pick of Destiny is one of the greatest movies ever and their music kicks ass.



What a badass riff!

I can't wait for their new album. Dave Grohl is back on board, so we all know it's going to be nothing less than awesome.

Agreed

But, why do I get a de-rep for making a thread about them?
Freaking haters.

Shameless rip from wikipedia maybe? I don't know. Seems someone either just hates people who Like Tenacious D or something.

I wish there was something I could do about your de-rep.

Wait, did those guys know nothing about jokes?
*sigh* full of haters...
Btw, thanks for +repping me again
+rep to ye

It's no problem. I did what I felt was right.

It's nice to see a lot of good people here in fakku.

BTW, one of my fave song from tenacious D:



EDIT: Somehow I have the urge to post this song's lyric, so there it is:

Last week, Kyle quit the band
Now we're back together
Misunderstanding, didn't understand
It doesn't matter, now we're back together again, la la la la la
Couldn't split up Kado and Nash (that's true)
Couldn't split Tango and cash
That's also true
This is our song of an exultant joy because
We only came to kick some ass
Rock the fucking house, and kick some ass
What we're gonna do with all the cash?
Smoke hash, and then we thrash
We'll throw a big ol' bash y'all
And everyone is invited to the bash
And everyone you're all invited to the band

Oh this is probably one of my favorites to view every once in a while. Especially when viewed with the Dio music video

This one made me lol

Master Exploder, hands down. I'm not a big fan of Tenacious D but Master Exploder is awesome.

Tenacious D most rocking song ever

I always thought it was funny when another scene comes in and their clothes changes. LOL.

But the funniest thing is when JB blow that old man's brain with his amazing voice.

And as an addition, another great song with epic lyric
