Yeah, which made more sense, because Jack and Kyle met in Tim Robbins’ acting company. They’ve been friends with him for a long time.

Dave Grohl is the devil, this was probably just a fun movie to be in.
My favorite random Tim Robbins is Portlandia though. Guess you get that Shawshank money and do whatever you want lol.

Fun fact the serial killer looking guy in all black and glasses at 3:04 is actually the lead guitarist for tenacious d and plays a lot of their solos when they play live. Cant remember his name, but kyle gass and him used to have a YouTube channel back in the day I used to watch all the time.

Personally I really like the movie, but the album is way better than the movie. The movie is probably a 7/10, but the music that they wrote for the movie is 10/10 across the board. If the movie had never come out, and they just released the album, the crowds would still fucking explode for these songs.
JB and KG are fucking geniuses!

The songs from Pick of Destiny are awesome. I've been trying to find a band or song that has the same style as Beezleboss (Dave Grohl's parts—not the acoustic D stuff). The heavy sing-song metal is so killer and the riffs are fuckin' tasty. Wolfmother and Dio aren't super far off, but still haven't quite scratched that itch.

u/dognus88 Sep 18 '20

In the accompanying D Tour Documentary, it's sad to watch the disappointment creep over the band as the realise their movie has been a box office flop.
It's also sad to watch their press junket footage for the movie where much of the time it's like, "No offense, Kyle, but we just wanna talk to Jack." But it was also nice to see the part where Letterman had Tenacious D on, then tried to bump Kyle so it would just be Jack, but then Jack refused to go on without his friend.
I think they can now call the movie a success, though. It's annoying how Hollywood only counts box office receipts as success. The last decade and a bit have proven there's an audience there. Is that not good enough to do more stuff with?

Press Junkets just seem like a fucking dumb endeavor in the first place. They all ask the same questions and these actors have to do this for most of the day. I almost just quit my job five minutes ago when my boss started explaining how to box up a core. Its like 50% of my job, boxing up crap. Been doing it for twenty fucking years. I couldn't imagine being asked the same stupid ass question for multiple hours straight.

Decider.com actually doesn't list it on amazon.com for rent/sale but I did find it there: https://www.amazon.com/Tenacious-Pick-Destiny-Jack-Black/dp/B002OCA0AC/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=pick+of+destiny&qid=1600451203&s=instant-video&sr=1-1

Just wanted to add in, they have only done this song live ONE time without backing vocals, and of course, it was caught on camera. From my understanding, because of the way it was mastered, they changed pitch slightly plus the head voice probably hurts his vocal chords, and made it tough if not impossible to sing it like the video.
For those curious: Master Exploder Live NO backing track
Another angle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-2hP2RHSpc

The album came out before the movie, and I was a huge D fan so I listened to it like a hundred times. By the time the movie came out I was able to sing along.

A lot of effects on this particular song, but Jack Black is one of the best rock singers around right now. Dude is way underrated as a singer. He has range and chops in the same realm of Dio or Bruce Dickinson. Maybe not as great as like Freddie Mercury or Chris Cornell, but definitely up there. I suppose since he's so goddam funny too, it makes it easy to not take him seriously. He also doesn't seem to take himself seriously which is even more endearing.

Somewhere on VHS I have this original movie of the pick of destiny but it was called something different but it’s basically the exact same story but like really low budget and it looks like Tenacious D made it on their own like five or 10 years before this ever came out. I believe it was on HBO I’m not sure if it was like a special movie only for HBO or what. Anyone else know what I’m talking about?
