Tenacious D appretiation thread

So , how many of you here like these guys ?
I think they're hilarious and good musicians too
Jack Black has an awesome voice !
However , i think he should also make "serious" music
can't see why he hasn't already , really

They rock. Thanks for mentioning them. Diffently one of the best (certaintly one of my favorite) albums of the 21st century. I know what you mean about them doing serious music. They can really play and really rock. Best rock album from the last few years.

Then they would be doing exactly the kind of thing that they're spoofing. They do rock, but they've gotta be silly! Anybody ever see the DVD? They're a sketch where KG picks up JB and they're both wearing hats and sunglasses and...

This from the guy who's been starting threads about Michael Bolton and Debbie Gibson....

Tenacious D fucking rox! worship

This is a song
for the ladies
but fellas... listen closely

You don't have to fuck her hard
in fact sometimes that's not right to do..
Sometimes u got to make some love
and fuckin give her some smooches too..
Sometimes you got to squeeze..
Sometimes you got to say "Please"..
Sometimes you gotta say "Hey,"
"I'm gonna fuck you.. softly"
"I'm gonna screw you gently"
"I'm gonna hump you sweetly"
"I'm gonna ball you discreetly"
and then you say "Hey, I brought you flowers"
and then you say "Wait a minute Sally,"
"I think I got somethin' in my teeth, could you get it out for me?"
That's fuckin' teamwork!
What's your favorite posish?
That's cool with me, It's not my favorite but I'll do it for you.
What's your favorite dish?
I'm not gonna cook it but I'll order it from ZANZIBAR!
And then I'm gonna love you completely
Then I'll fucking fuck you discreetly
and then I'll fuckin bone you completely
but then I'm gonna fuck... you hard.....
Hard.....

but don't negate the fact that they can actually write very good songs and play and sing in key.


and don't lip sync!!!!!



Maybe they should write MY BOO part 5 and then be up for 8 grammies.
Music is the best...

I like them best when they keep it acoustic ! I think it works better than the full blown band thing...going electric makes them sound too much like the bands they're lampooning/paying tribute to...

Back in High School? When was that, last year?

Post your stuff for us all to hear because if ANYONE could do that shit and be funny, they would be.

All props to the D.

Not only can they play (an accomplishment in itself), the have a good understanding of the genre they're spoofing. They know exactly which rock cliches and characters to pick (that their audience will recognize), to goof on. That's what makes them funny (another accomplishment).

Dio

Dio has rocked for a long, long time,
Now it's time for him to pass the torch.
He has songs of wildebeests and angels,
He has soared on the wings of a demon.

It's time to pass the torch,
You're too old to rock, no more rockin' for you.
We're takin' you to a home,
But we will sing a song about you.

And we will make sure that you're very well taken care of.
You'll tell us secrets that you've learned. Raow!
Your sauce will mix with ours,
And we'll make a good goulash baby.
Dio, time to go!
You must give your cape and scepter to me.
And a smaller one for KG.
Go! Go! Dio! Dio!

I love this goddamn song so much: worship

This is the greatest and best song in the world... Tribute.

Long time ago me and my brother Kyle here,
we was hitchhikin' down a long and lonesome road.
All of a sudden, there shined a shiny demon...in the middle...of the road.
And he said:
"Play the best song in the world, or I'll eat your soul."
Well me and Kyle, we looked at each other,
and we each said... "Okay."
And we played the first thing that came to our heads,
Just so happened to be,
The Best Song in the World, it was The Best Song in the World.

Look into my eyes and it's easy to see
One and one make two, two and one make three,
It was destiny.
Once every hundred-thousand years or so,
When the sun doth shine and the moon doth glow
And the grass doth grow...

Needless to say, the beast was stunned.
Whip-crack went his whoopy tail,
And the beast was done.
He asked us: "(snort) Be you angels?"
And we said, "Nay. We are but men."
Rock!
Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh-ah-ah,
Ohhh, whoah, ah-whoah-oh!

This is not The Greatest Song in the World, no.
This is just a tribute.
Couldn't remember The Greatest Song in the World, no, no.
This is a tribute, oh, to The Greatest Song in the World,
All right! It was The Greatest Song in the World,
All right! It was the best muthafuckin' song,
The greatest song in the world.
[2-part skat]

And the peculiar thing is this, my friends:
the song we sang on that fateful night it didn't actually sound
anything like this song.

This is just a tribute! You gotta believe me!
And I wish you were there! Just a matter of opinion.
Ah, fuck! Good God, God lovin',
So surprised to find you can't stop it.
[Skat]
All right! All right!



Wreckanize.
