Tenacious D The Pick Of Destiny (DVD)

“Tenacious D” is apparently an established two-man comedy-musical duo comprising Jack Black and Kyle Gass. This audacious, colourful, rock opera is an enhanced fairy-tale version of the story of how the two of them originally met up and started working together.

In the Missouri town of Kickapoo, Jack Black was always the black sheep of his ultra-religious Christian family. His father (Played by Meat Loaf) beats him severely after hearing him perform a particularly foul-mouthed song, and the devil (Dave Grohl) then instructs him to go to the right Hollywood – where rock fame and fortune will be his for the taking.

Once there, he encounters a long-haired man who is busking on an acoustic guitar. The man proves to be Kyle Gass – who is totally unimpressed with Jack. But that night, after the latter is set upon by four droogs – straight out of A Clockwork Orange, Kyle comes to his assistance and invites him to share his pad.

The rest, as they say, is history – but still makes lots of fun to share! And the music, of course, is great. However if bad language offends you, maybe you’d better give this one a miss.

Comedy starring Jack Black (School of Rock, King Kong) in his other capacity as one half of hard-rockin spoof band, Tenacious D. This is the story of how the band Tenacious D came into being; Jack Black, a green Midwestern newcomer to California, comes across Kyle Gass playing guitar on the beach and is stricken. KG is a guitar god and JB wants to be part of his life. The marriage of his classic Rock voice and KG's shredding, face-melting solos proves fruitful. Their partnership soon gives rise to the idea that the two could go for Rockin' world domination and this they set out to achieve. The road to Rock Valhalla is a long and arduous one though. To shorten it, they set out on the quest for The Pick Of Destiny - housed in a museum some miles away but promising its possessor mythological Rock immortality. However its theft proves to be a complicated business at the end of a long and winding road.
