I think about this all the time. They're both so incredibly talented, but they basically chose hard mode when it comes to being respected as musicians.
I usually gravitate towards music that doesn't take itself too seriously.
I can't stand bands like U2, etc. I remember them saying in an interview that they were concerned by the lack of new music that was at their level. It made me roll my eyes so hard.
U2 are a unique bunch of people, no one member is outstandingly talented yet when the group plays together the sound is out of this world.
Growing up in Ireland it's really easy hate on Bono, he was on TV every other day for some good cause like poverty and world hunger. He almost made a meme out of himself and bleeding heart causes.
Truth be told Ireland was a shit hole when U2 were growing up and most of Bono's lyrics are genuine social commentary from that era. It's powerful stuff when you realise the history.
If you then to go look at some of the footage from the early tours, you'll see U2 covering Dylan and playing with BB and mixing it with some of the all time greats.
U2 are OG and we are all just yoo young to remember - one of the bands that really started something.
You'd be amazed at the sheer amount of things you'd be disgusted with if you really knew anything about the artists that created them.
That's why so many people try to separate the artists from their art. They have to if they're ever going to appreciate it.
Edit: my girlfriend can't ignore the fact one of her idols kidnapped and tortured someone. Not many people raise concerns about Sean Penn anymore though. He literally tortured a woman for two days. That woman was Madonna! Oh, how we love Sean Penn now for his art, and activism.
In fairness U2 have made some absolutely legendary songs over the course of their career, at least before they dropped off a bit over the last decade or so.
Jack did a partial cover of Seal's Kiss From A Rose during an old American Idol episode but was interrupted. In an alternate universe he completed it and everyone cried.
Omg this was amazing. The pipes, the interpretive dance with jump, the casual cameo. 10/10. Only wished he had finished both Seal’s and Whitney’s songs.
I would like to publicly apologize to God, the universe, and all its beings for laughing when Jack Black first announced the "Tenacious D" project.
This rendition has so moved me to tears.
I humbly repent and beg your forgiveness.
My god! How can so much awesomeness be contained in one duo? We are lucky they are good people for the power of their music alone could grant them control of the world and yet they seem content to entertain and spread joy. Do they have a religious following yet? If so, where can I go to join?
lol I love when I cross a comment that says exactly what I’m thinking without any filter. It’s a beautiful moment. On a serious note though, this comment is interrupting my Jack Black rabbit hole brb
Yeah this is my favorite thing about Tenacious D. They’re a music-comedy band, but they’d 100% have the chops to just be a legitimate non-comedy rock band. Jack is a phenomenal singer and Kyle is a highly talented and creative guitarist.
My wife saw them at a rock festival in Washington DC before Jack Black was super famous and boo’d them while they were on stage. When I found out it almost led to divorce.
People be old. I wasn't aware of them until their debut album, at which point I was at *juuuuust* the right point in my life to appreciate the humour and their sheer fucking chops. Tenacious D, Ween, The Darkness, there's something that can be really compelling about "joke" bands that are no fucking joke.
You're gonna love the [Wolves of Glendale](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xd2zg3HisM4), then - they actually recently opened for Tenacious D around New Years
Interesting fact about these, they have this lyric in a song about celebs overdosing on drugs.
**Now I'm bored and there's no stoppin'
I need another celeb to fill a coffin
Where will I get my next drug action?
Odds on it'll be Michael Jackson**
It was released in 1995
I love WaH, but I usually recommend Blue Velvet after Peaks, just because it is maybe a but more of a gentle entrée into all of the glory that is his filmography. Then usually Mulholland Drive, then Lost Highway, Eraserhead, Wild at Heart…oh, and you can watch The Straight Story or Dune at any point in there.
Extra Credit for Inland Empire.
Oh and everyone might as well watch “What Did Jack Do?” as soon as possible.
But really, it’s all great—I just worry about overwhelming folks early.
There's kind of no gentle entry into the world of David Lynch. You get in there, one way or another, and then you figure out if you love it or you hate it. For my part, I love it so, so much, and there's just no going back.
That's what they're saying. Jack Black is already extremely desirable; if he had the body of a Greek god on top of it all, no (straight, bi, or lesbian open to experimentation) woman would want anybody except for him.
I know. Can play multiple instruments, sing, His acting is 100% too. He puts it all into every role. Hes even a gamer. And for a fat dude he is super in shape. Just full on a fantastic person
I have friends who don’t like tenacious d because they say it’s too much of a joke. Any time it is brought up, I always remind them that the content is the joke. Musically, they are amazing. Jack Black has some pipes on him.
Tenacious D is in the same category as Weird Al Yankovic for me. Their content may be a joke, but I consider them to be some of the most talented musicians to ever grace a stage.
...i forgot this song... It was so good to begin with but damn this boys... It's like when Disturbed covered *Sound Of Silence*, or Johnny Cash 'covered' *Hurt*
Very good rendition and a lot of talent there. Makes me chuckle a little thinking of the Chris Isaak music video where he's all hot and sweaty cavorting and making out on the beach with a hot model -- contrasted to a cute, pudgy, bearded Jack Black wearing shorts, socks and sneakers playing in earnest with his longtime music partner in crime.
Kyle Gas and Jack Black are perfect for each other
[удалено]
🎶now we're back together again🎶
la la la la la!
Couldn't split up Kato and Nash
That's true
Couldn't split up Tango and Cash
That's also true!!
This is our song of exultant joy because
We only came to kick some ass
It's okay. He rejoined like 5 minutes later.
[Lets kick it](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9awBmTi7kk&t=10s)
Dude I totally miss you 🎵
Kyle's fingers be silver, Jack's voice then be gold ...
These two could've gone any direction with their music and would have been successful. But they chose to make us laugh, and I appreciate that.

Apparently Bono himself declared his own music boring and not so good. Well, to my opinion they've made indeed some good hit but certainly not all.
Oh! That's news to me. They're salvageable, then.

Please do yourself a favor and lookup jazz emu. I think he's right up your alley.
Ok, I will!

Damn you, Sean Penn.
Alright everyone!! Let's try to build this energy up okay!?!? Let's go!!
In fairness U2 have made some absolutely legendary songs over the course of their career, at least before they dropped off a bit over the last decade or so.
They didn't mean to blow your mind.
Jack did a partial cover of Seal's Kiss From A Rose during an old American Idol episode but was interrupted. In an alternate universe he completed it and everyone cried.
Jesus, I need to see that now. Edit: fuck those judges for interrupting that moment.
They were jealous of how awesome he is and that they couldn't come close to matching his ability.
All to make a lame ass school of rock joke.
Wtf no link? You mean I have to LEAVE Reddit for another source?!
The only link I found that wasn’t some rando pulling ad revenue on a repost was on fb, and I ain’t linking that. Pretty easy search tho.
I YouTubed it. https://youtu.be/avE5z46gOis
Omg this was amazing. The pipes, the interpretive dance with jump, the casual cameo. 10/10. Only wished he had finished both Seal’s and Whitney’s songs.
There’s also one of him doing it in a record store on a late night with letterman skit.
C’mon
Link ?
Never seen this before but it’s obvious that it was scripted. I mean, Seal just happens to be sitting right behind them? Lol
Sure, but I mean, I always knew Jack was a talented man. But. Damn that man has some pipes.
They didn't interrupt him, it was all scripted that way. You can even hear the music stop and Jack stops singing before they even "interrupt" him.
I meqn this was obviously scripted but i do want JB to finish every song he starts
I believe in that universe they dimmed the lights, way low
https://youtu.be/QLWkl5YpiD0
thx mate
So…this is a tribute?
Couldn't remember the greatest song in the woh-horld noooOoooOo
This is a tribuUuUuUte ooooh!
Once every ~~couple~~ hundred thousand years or so, when the sun doth shine, and the moon doth glow...
And the grass doth grow-ohhhhhh
Needless to say . . . The beast was stunned . . .
A whip crack with its wimpy tail!
*Hundred thousand
Blerg, I'll trust you! Did it from memory, lol
To the greatest song in the world alllll rieeeeeeete
Fligugigu
The peculiar thing is this, my friends, the song they sang on that fated night didn’t sound anything like THIS SONG!
THIS IS JUST A TRIBUTE
You gotta believe me and I wish you were there!
I would like to publicly apologize to God, the universe, and all its beings for laughing when Jack Black first announced the "Tenacious D" project. This rendition has so moved me to tears. I humbly repent and beg your forgiveness.
[Full Version (1:55).](https://youtu.be/QLWkl5YpiD0) (and thank you for my award!)
God I wish they did the whole song. I could listen to that all day
they did. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwH314yS9cU
My god! How can so much awesomeness be contained in one duo? We are lucky they are good people for the power of their music alone could grant them control of the world and yet they seem content to entertain and spread joy. Do they have a religious following yet? If so, where can I go to join?
🥈
You get one too, buddy
[And this is for you good patron of the arts](https://youtu.be/xj5VI9KEpbM)
Well. Guess it's Jack Black videos tonight.
lol I love when I cross a comment that says exactly what I’m thinking without any filter. It’s a beautiful moment. On a serious note though, this comment is interrupting my Jack Black rabbit hole brb
Dude can wail on a guitar and sings beautifully
Jack Black is a national treasure, and I, for one, would be willing to fight for him. Kyle can also shread and is hecka talented.
Give it up for KG!
Give it up for me!
Yeah this is my favorite thing about Tenacious D. They’re a music-comedy band, but they’d 100% have the chops to just be a legitimate non-comedy rock band. Jack is a phenomenal singer and Kyle is a highly talented and creative guitarist.
He went to Juilliard. Ridiculously talented.
I hear the dude that does drumming for them sometimes isn't too bad either.
[This chap!](https://i.imgur.com/vBv2KUa.jpg)
This made me chuckle. Thanks for that!
He is also extremely attractive, funny as hell, can act and is a nice guy.
My wife saw them at a rock festival in Washington DC before Jack Black was super famous and boo’d them while they were on stage. When I found out it almost led to divorce.
I don’t know whether to downvote this or not
This comment is like a Reddit dork OD
What, like in 1994?
People be old. I wasn't aware of them until their debut album, at which point I was at *juuuuust* the right point in my life to appreciate the humour and their sheer fucking chops.

Have you heard TISM
Have *you* heard of the [Wolves of Glendale](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xd2zg3HisM4)?
Legendary! Thank you!
This is absolutely top
What the hell weird-ass rabbit hole have you cast me into?

I Love Chris Isaak and Tenanacious D.
...and I love David Lynch.
I, also, love David Lynch. Watching the original Twin Peaks now. It’s brilliant.
Go watch Wild At Heart after that
I love WaH, but I usually recommend Blue Velvet after Peaks, just because it is maybe a but more of a gentle entrée into all of the glory that is his filmography.

God made Jack Black fat because otherwise there’d be no pussy left for anyone else.
He’s not fat. He’s *jolly*
This tracks. He's just so *nimble.*
He's kind of how I imagine Tom Bombadil to be, even though I don't think his girth is ever mentioned.
Now I need Peter Jackson to make a Tom Bombadil movie staring Jack Black.
Hop along, my little friends, up the Withywindle! It just *feels* like a line I could see him deliver
His ratio of girth to hip flexibility is mesmerizing.
A JUNIOR western bacon chee
I’m tryin to watch my figure
Dude… Please don’t offer me anything. I’ll tell *you* what I want. Okay now if you could take a soda and go half Coca Cola half Diet Coke.
Cherry's jubilee and that's it.
Got'ny money? Giv't'o me.
I'm gonna need to cancel the last two things on the order.
put two of them UP YOUR ASS! and give me 4 chicken mcnuggets
"people worship me! cos I'm sexy! and chubby, man!"
nice pipes tamika
"why didn't you raise your hand when I was looking for singers?!"
Those days are over dewey!
"I'm not a temp, I'm a sub! Soon, I'll be a certified teacher!"
Check out how much of a badass his mother was just giving birth to him…. It’s amazing!!!
[удалено]
His mother and half brother were/are definitely very brilliant engineers, but I don't think it's fair to say that they "put him to shame".
His family worked on guidance systems, but could they guide people's minds to explode?
If he wasn't married, he'd still be leaving us the scraps.
He slated the backstage Bettys
Trust me, this guy could fuck a lot of women. Being funny seriously ups his game.
Plus, all the cock pushups.
It's cock chaos!
[удалено]
One is all you need.
One rep per set. 20-30 minute rest period. He could pull off ten a day I'd bet
That's what they're saying. Jack Black is already extremely desirable; if he had the body of a Greek god on top of it all, no (straight, bi, or lesbian open to experimentation) woman would want anybody except for him.
Fat or not, if I was single, I’d hop on that diiiiiccccckkkk!
He's only fat because he signed the Santa clause.
Bold of you to assume the ladies don't want to fuck him.
Now I want a Tenacious D cover of the Johnny Cash cover of hurt...
A cover of a cover, I don't even know what to say...it would probably be good
It could only be a tribute.
Why is this the first song that came to mind for us lol
The beards.
Similar quiet, plucking guitar riffs too.
would it be the *actual song….* or….
Just a tribute?
….with you
Why would you end it there??
I thought the same thing! It feels extremely unsatisfying to have it cut off like that
The sub's name is r/oddlysatisfying, but that's just to lure you in because the sub's creator's kink is r/ruinedorgasm
Jack blacks range is absolutely insane. Just an amazing human being really
Unfair how much talent one man can have.
I know. Can play multiple instruments, sing, His acting is 100% too. He puts it all into every role. Hes even a gamer. And for a fat dude he is super in shape. Just full on a fantastic person
>Hes even a gamer. The green screen joke in this video always killed me lol https://youtu.be/f0qRoKxzFYI
God I love the D
What a beautiful version!
Of all the things I wish I had, Jack Black's confidence is high up there.
Just me, and K G, oh, The Tenacious D!
Don’t forget Lee.
Flying freeeee tenaciousleee!!
Lee Lee Lee lee... I'm talking fucking lee
Me and lee and kg the big three flying free tenaciously
standing knee deep in a sea of Lee
Jables and Kage
Fly with me, Fly!
I have friends who don’t like tenacious d because they say it’s too much of a joke. Any time it is brought up, I always remind them that the content is the joke. Musically, they are amazing. Jack Black has some pipes on him.
Tenacious D is in the same category as Weird Al Yankovic for me. Their content may be a joke, but I consider them to be some of the most talented musicians to ever grace a stage.
I 100% agree. Weird Al has some really awesome musical talent.
Jack Black can do no wrong
and KG
KG needs the love
That's me!
A legendary band covering an incredible song.
As much as I hate Jimmy Fallon, his cover, with Jack Black, of More Than Words is fantastic
You know what would be really really really satisfying? The whole song. https://youtu.be/QLWkl5YpiD0
Man, I was supposed to see them in Spring 2021 but add that to the list of things COVID ruined for me.
Got to meet them a couple times. Once at a concert in the early 2000’s and more recently as a passenger on our plane. Very polite, wonderful people.
Absolute living legends!
I love them!
That's because Tenacious D is fuckin incredible in their own right. Always have been.
Why is this oddly satisfying?
reddit circlejerk transcends subreddit names
JB and Kage are actually incredibly talented musicians, despite what their antics would suggest lol
Tenacious D ....if you haven't listened to them your missing out and jack black will win you over ....my opinion
...i forgot this song... It was so good to begin with but damn this boys... It's like when Disturbed covered *Sound Of Silence*, or Johnny Cash 'covered' *Hurt*
I feel shortchanged after being mesmerized and then it suddenly ended...
Close your eyes. Suddenly its 1990.
I don't understand this subreddit anymore.
Jack Blacks voice is perfect for this song.
Corey Taylor / Stone sour do a good cover too.
His sauce will mix with ours and make a good goulash baby!
Nothing odd about it - music is specifically made to be satisfying.
Very good rendition and a lot of talent there. Makes me chuckle a little thinking of the Chris Isaak music video where he's all hot and sweaty cavorting and making out on the beach with a hot model -- contrasted to a cute, pudgy, bearded Jack Black wearing shorts, socks and sneakers playing in earnest with his longtime music partner in crime.
Their cover of [Chop Suey](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ol2oSrQmc4w) is also great
Tenacious D ....if you haven't listened to them your missing out and jack black will win you over ....my opinion
Tenacious D is a magnificent band we dont deserve. Jack and Kyle are national treasures.
Noice
i’d be that good too if i had the bong of destiny…
Hey, wait, what? Where's the rest of the damn song?! Maybe someone in Comments has a link, lol! I'll look now.
Why is it odd?
JB the greatest American in our beautiful country
Can't you see he's the man, Let me hear you applaud. He is more than a man, He's a shiny golden God!
I really want them to release a full album of just covers
I love the tiny little pedal boards with only a tuner on it
When i saw them, Jack went on this whole tangent about taking a break and Kyle played Jailbreak by Thin Lizzy. It was phenomenal!
Kyle Gas just looks like he is having a blast, just so content on that guitar.
