Jack Black appears to have turned Hispanic. I haven't even heard the second album (possibly because the film put me off) but the first was amazing.


EDIT: I wish they'd use more electric guitars.

 

[Buckethead]

Wow that video to "To Be The Best" was amazing.

 

[donkey show]

New music-ish video released - "To Be The Best"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nai7w1frB1E

I just called this press conference to let everyone know, that I am indeed the happiest and most fulfilled human who ever lived.

So awesome! Can't wait for the album. :3

 

[Revenant]

:lol at that album cover.

Great music video as well, definitely will have to give this a listen.

 

[VariantX04]

Nobody's talking about the new song? Rize of the Fenix (Audio)

Holy shit, Tenacious D is fucking back.

 

[TimmiT]

Awesome to see them back, both the new video and the song are great.

 

[PumpkinPie]

I like that they're acknowledging the film was shit.

 

[WrikaWrek]

Song is pretty damn bad.

 

[PumpkinPie]

Song is pretty damn bad.

If you mean awesome, then yes, yes it is.

 

[WrikaWrek]

If you mean awesome, then yes, yes it is.

Why is it awesome.

It sounds like a mess to me. I like Tenacious D btw.

 

[low-G]

Why is it awesome.

It sounds like a mess to me. I like Tenacious D btw.

Because it sounds awesome to the ears and is funny because it's like an 80's montage song.

 

[Cat Party]

I love their first album and their HBO show to death, but the movie was pretty meh and I never got the soundtrack. Should I rectify that?

My top 5 D songs:

1. Tribute
2. Jesus Ranch
3. Fuck it, all of them! (Except Wonderboy.)
4. Wonderboy

 

[WrikaWrek]

Oh ok.

 

[Grinchy]

I can't wait for this.

I like Fuck Her gently too.

 

[squidhands]

Song is pretty damn bad.

Unfortunately I have to agree with you. I'll still support them and get the album when it comes out, but the single gets a big ol' meh from me. :-|

 

[AlphaTwo00]

The iTunes cover is...

AHAHAHA. WHY!?!

 

[FloppyDelux]

The iTunes cover is...

AHAHAHA. WHY!?!

apple hates penis covers...but yea cant wait till this comes out it should be awsome

 

[BHK3]

The rize of the fenix song sounds...ok...not much else to say personally.

 

[KO Traveling Hobo]

I like that they're acknowledging the film was shit.

They've been brainwashed by peer pressure. The movie was amazing.

 

[SKINNER!]

The movie was amazing.

The HBO show was better.

 

[Fusion Pizza]

OH EM GEE

 

[WordAssassin]

When Rize of the Fenix ramps up in the 2nd 3rd of the song, OMG. So much good stuff. It's obvious that RotF was going to be three separate songs like Jack talked about before, but they decided to mash them into one whole song instead. Such a great track.

I can't fucking wait for this album. Tenacious D and Jack Black have been such a huge influence on me, I'm so happy it's finally coming out. Been waiting YEARS for this.

 

[vaelic]

rize of the phoenix. great track!

 

[FloppyDelux]

FYI its out now on the internet...and its awesome so far...

 

[Rootbeer]

They uploaded the entire album to their soundcloud. Quality is 128kbps I think? Can get it better elsewhere but it's still cool Hope you all have it ordered!

[WyndhamPrice]

The first track (Rock Is Dead) already has me cracking up, I can't wait to hear the rest of this.

Glad you like it! But that is not the first track, sorry. Here is the correct order:

[WyndhamPrice]

oh shi

 

[Rootbeer]

Wait till you hear 39... never thought i'd hear a song like this from the D. Some things get better with age (I still don't want to ever reach 39. But yeah.)

 

[WyndhamPrice]

I secretly hoped it was a cover of the Queen song '39, but now I see they've basically written a Bruce Springsteen song and it's fucking great.

 

[TheKaeptain]

I'm ready to hear this.

 

[VariantX04]

Fuck yes. This will be glorious.

 

[AlphaTwo00]

Roadie reminds me of Brutal Legend.

I am a terrible person.

 

[Flynn]

This looks like a weird, unfinished video from the new record.

 

[Buckethead]

I'm on Roadie right now.

Wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better than The Pick Of Destiny.

EDIT: Oh my goodness "39" is absolutely amazing.

 

[VariantX04]

"Roadie" and "39" are fucking incredible. Awesome album. Already got my preorder down on iTunes.

 

[speculawyer]

Jack Black was on Fresh Air recent and talked about the album a bit.

[staticneuron]

Just..... hell yes. This news made my entire month better.

This thread should have ten thousand pages by now, whats wrong with you GAF?

Cause everyone is Rock-'em Sock-'em Robots!

 

[CrookedRain]

Well, I certainly wasn't expecting much from this, but I like what I've heard so far.

 

[D.Lo]

Cause everyone is Rock-'em Sock-'em Robots!

Yeah we should fuckin' start a riot. A Riot!

 

[Danielsan]

Listening now. Up to Rise of the Fenix. Really really digging it!
Now I feel extra sad that I was unable to obtain tickets for their show in The Netherlands.

 

[Veitsev]

This is by far their best album.

 

[vaelic]

great album

 

[Danielsan]

This is by far their best album.

It's really good, but I'm not sure it beats out their debut album for me.
That said, 39 and Roadie are phenomenal.

 

[Erekiddo]

Listening to it now.. so far, so good.

I knew the movie did pretty terrible financially, but I still think it's a great film.

 

[kamspy]

They've been brainwashed by peer pressure. The movie was amazing.

Agreed.

The HBO show was better.

Agreed.

I had no clue the D had a new album coming out. Fuck yes.

I got drunk one night and decided to change my voicemail to me, drunkingly singing:

Climb up on my faithful stee heed
Then we gonna ride gonna smoke some wee heed
Climb up on my faithful steed and ride ride ride...

I kept that on there for at least a year. Got a funny talk from my manager at the time about it, but it was more of him not thinking it was really me singing.

I love some D. Have they put the full HBO series out on one blu ray yet? Because I need that in my life.

 

[RedDeviLMUFC]

wow this album is simply great , as others have said by far their best album
