Obviously Jack has been more successful with movies and everything but Kyle Gass deserves just as much of the recognition. Both are insanely talented. Jack is also really humble and a true good friend for not making Kyle feel like less. True good friends and partners in music.
Totally. Kyle makes Tenacious D work just as much as Jack does. He's the straight man. The one who calmly looks on with bemusement when Jack starts playacting on stage. That's a big part of the comedy. I seem to remember Jack telling a story about the early days of the band where Kage really did quit the band for a short time and Jack tried doing some sort of musical comedy thing with Andy Dick and it was a disaster.
@@brianm2881 Playing the straight man is one of the hardest parts to play. Your job is to keep the energy from going off the wall and keep a straight face without getting caught up in the energy. And Jack Blacks energy is off the wall. My hats off to Kyle.
There’s a video of Jack Black meeting a young fan who has some physical ailment that has him in a wheelchair (looked like palsy or something) and Jack sings with him and gets so emotional you can see him start to tear up. He really is a kind soul, which is rare to find in Hollywood.
Not only is Jack Black a great singer but his whole presence on stage is super awesome! He has so much energy. And with the help of KG Tenacious D is just on another level!
Man just imagine these two morphed into they’re younger selves and they’re singing in those exact spots it’s crazy they’ve been with us and entertaining us for this long
Man, what I would give for there to be a “Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr react to…” video featuring the Tenacious D medley. Is there a world where that happens?

On the hallowed lanes of Abbey Road they stride, Tenacious D's hellacious rock 'n' roll ride. Guitars wailing, tenacity uncontained, Legendary melodies, forever changed. Through the studios, Jack and Kyle roam, Abbey Road echoes with their raucous tone. In the footsteps of legends, they dare to trod, Tenacious D, rewriting Abbey's laud. A rock epic unfolds, the best medley ever heard, Abbey's charm altered, but undeterred. Tenacious D, irreverent and grand, Leaving their mark on this hallowed land.
Jack Black is my favorite singer and person. I started learning this song back in March because it's my favorite love song. In April my dog/best friend died way before her time, just after her sixth birthday. I've been listening to it and playing it frequently since then. Then suddenly Tenacious D plays it. It makes my cry every time and I'm not a crier.
love they did this. I had this on an old bootleg before the first album was released. some show from Oregon. The D also did the fat Albert theme and Spiderman on that boot.
@@BonJoviBeatlesLedZep Found a link of the exact boot im referring to. someone posted it 14 years ago. I had it late 90s, early 2000s. th-cam.com/video/oKpro8LVQDA/w-d-xo.html
@@BonJoviBeatlesLedZep here is the fat Albert theme. I feel so lucky to have seen the D live Three times now. they rock, so hard.. th-cam.com/video/51nL8nEg4Do/w-d-xo.html
If you didn’t know them, these guys would fit right in to any open mic, and if they said “We are going to do a Beatles medley from Abbey Road” you would (hopefully politely) groan inwardly. And then you would be BLOWN AWAY. Love Tenacious D.
@@TheFilyng I think you missed the point, their careers are fantastic, Tenacious D is one of the greatest things ever made, I just wonder what sort of music would have been made outside of comedy.
@@hutchm8914 Some of these musical comedians just don't translate well to more "serious" music as talented as they are; probably wouldn't have been as good. Tim Minchin is a great example - one of the best musical comedians but he's done some non-comedy stuff and it's mediocre compared to the comedy
I saw these guys open for jimmy eat World and Weezer in 2000.They blew me away and warped my mind in the most delicious direction. After seeing tenacious D at wings stadium in Kalamazoo my life was forever changed. I didn’t need to stay for jimmy or rivers act but I couldn’t drive so I had to wait for my ride back. Long live the KINGS
I normally hate covers of Beatles songs because they usually seem pretentious. Just my opinion, disagree if you want. But this is great! I feel like it gets back to the 4 lads from Liverpool having a laugh and bangin out a tune sort of vibe! And of course its the almighty Tenacious D!!!
I saw the D live once. They were promoting Rise of the Phoenix and it was one of the best live shows I’ve ever seen. It was like 28 bucks to get in. JB and KG are legends.
saw them on the same tour back when the album was released. played the best of both the albums , was a dream come true. was like 15 feet from them both haha
I dunno why it is giving me Simon & Garfunkel vibes, where majority of the songs was just guitar and singing... no fancy effects, just vocals and instruments. I love it and man I would love to enjoy them watch live!
AHHHHHHHHHH I LOVE YOU GUYS SO EFFING MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 15 years after I discovered them with my friends in High School and still an incredible DUO!!!!
We need a Tenacious D cover album, and we need it now.
This definitely seems like something they just had fun with.
fact
Agreed
It is not the greatest cover album, nay, it is just a tribute
But it would be damn good
PLEASE!! ❤
The world changed for the better when these two met.
D is the greatest and bestest band in the world. And thats a fuckin fact!!
I remember it. They met in the city of fallen angels where the ocean meets the sand...
They formed a strong alliance. In the world’s most awesome band.
Two good buds can fight the devil together
💯
Jack’s entire body and a significant amount of the surrounding atmosphere is a musical instrument.
Aura
That is how singing works, yes
Let's not forget that KG has always been great with harmonizing vocals
legend
Kevin Garnett?
@@superwong6601 who's that? I only know relevant people.
@@superwong6601 nah, King Gizzard
Rage Kage!
Wow! To have your own music covered by the D! Those "Beatles" guys really made it!
The musical equivalent of being written into The Simpsons
Man this joke is so tired.
@@CoreyBreedlovenot as bad as the whole will ferrel/Chad smith thing
I heard they really hit the mainstream when Kanye featured Paul McCartney
Never fails to throw in a “rrrrrrrigga gig ga goooo” 😂
UhMuthafaggin SKAT!
Did you know that one time they wrote the greatest song in the world?
Then they forgot it.
@@BarrackObamnabut I think they wrote a tribute for it

When he added the F bomb to Beatles lyrics 🤣🤣 I love it

Not only is Jack Black a great singer but his whole presence on stage is super awesome! He has so much energy. And with the help of KG Tenacious D is just on another level!
That’s because Kyle’s fingers be silver; Jack’s voice it be gold.
The mix on those acoustic guitars is fantastic.
These two are so in sync it’s incredible. KG’s guitar sounds amazing.
Never underestimate how important KG is to this.
@@rk3689iousD
It didn’t sound like he was underestimating him at all.
Jack Black mimicking the drum solo from "The End" is my spirit animal
This is not the greatest song in the world, this is a tribute.
Amen!

@@jaredrips cheer up
I think it was a tribute to Stairway to Heaven until Zeppelin squashed that.

Best complete cover of this medley I’ve ever listened/seen
Two actors who really surprised me with their vocal abilities: Jack Black and Zooey Deschanel.
what about johnny depp :D
Hey, I know your channel!
Jamie Fox is a badass too
I hate to break it to you, but that's not Zooey, that's Kyle Gass
Great, Now I want a collab
Haha love Ringo’s solo on the old mouth drums. Amazing, thanks for sharing!

When he was using his mouth as the other beats while his buddy was playing the guitar was just incredible.

Nah wouldn’t be popular
Yeah man we should call it like 'Rock School' or 'High School Rock' or something.
I love how old they look but still the same energy. I love them.
Kyle’s playing is solid!
classically trained, he went to Juilliard

A tenacious D cover album would be dope.
Idk if my heart or mind could handle a whole album of this but I would buy it on day 1 and just prepare to be blown away.
I just dont know why they don't do it, seems like a no brainer to me, this medley and the who medley are great
@@MegaSilverBlood And their version of Dio's Last in Line is epic.
@@johngleeson7919 oh shit I forgot about it, yeah that one also rocks

there are moment where Jacks voice sounds so angelic

his voice is just amazing! thanks for rocking td!
2:30 jack black playing air drums is great. Wow, what a treat watching him do Beatles! and School of Rock still rocks!
I picked up a guitar for the first time after watching their movie. Been 13 years and still playing. Never forget the greatest band in the world

Tenacious D could cover any song ever written and it would be a masterpiece
Couldn't see them pulling off a Tool cover...
@@michaelshumber8153 I could
Fuck yeah. ✌️😎
Sure this is what McCartney had in mind when he wrote it in the 60’s, but the time wasn’t just right yet👌
Kage’s guitar playing is so good you know.
It plagues me wondering what JB's career would have been like if he pursued a legitimate metal career instead of comedy. His vocals are incredible.
His current metal career won him and KG a grammy, what more do you want haha.

I literally just found this while driving and I had the biggest smile on my face the entire time! Tenacious D, you ROCK!
This live performance is a grand showcase of their true talent 👏 👏👍
This is not the greatest comment in the world.
This is just a tribute.
My god they have both aged with grace and you can feel that they still have that spark of joy with life.
A lifetime of power and connection, thanks for sharing :)

Awesome...I wish they would belted out Her Majesty at the end
Jack's best performance was in the movie "High Fidelity". When he retooled his band to sing "Let's Get It On", it was magic.
They are out of this planet! Awesome 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Instant Classic - can jam to this all day long ! They made it their own but didn't destroy it which is tough to do even with Beatle music.
Absolutely wonderful. An homage that elevates.
I normally hate covers of Beatles songs because they usually seem pretentious. Just my opinion, disagree if you want. But this is great! I feel like it gets back to the 4 lads from Liverpool having a laugh and bangin out a tune sort of vibe! And of course its the almighty Tenacious D!!!
There’s definitely nothing pretentious about Tenacious D. Well, some of the lyrics but that’s the whole joke. There’s no real pretense.
Well said
Unbeliveble, So good!
I want to see Paul and Ringo reaction to this amazing performance!
And also a "tribute" disc of Tenacious D to The Beatles!
Then a McCartney and Ringo cover of Double Team.
Brilliant! Those TD add in are perfect my son will love this!
We need the full medley!🔥
I feel like the Rage Kage is entering his peak. I have never heard him sound better.

@@IdlePhantasm94 very worth it
Thank the universe for Tenacious D! Wonderful wonderful wonderful stuff!
Kage can scat too?! Man that was amazing!
Kage is an incredible musician
A Tribute to The Greatest Band in the World.
Saw them in Glasgow years ago. One of the best gigs I've been to. they were great.
I don't care whether I know every single of those songs but as long as Jack sings - I'm happy to watch!
I dunno why it is giving me Simon & Garfunkel vibes, where majority of the songs was just guitar and singing... no fancy effects, just vocals and instruments. I love it and man I would love to enjoy them watch live!
This made my morning omg I wanna see them on tour
why aren't these guys celebrated more? so fun!
this is one of the greatest things ive ever seen.
This is chaos I needed in my life today. They're so effing talented.
You can't just say "chaos" whenever you like. The word has a meaning
@@uhjeff3651 Shut up man
Wow, that was great! Thanks guys!
I think Jack blacks vocals are so underrated very rarely hits a dud note and some the changes in range are incredible
Tenacious D is truly one of a kind.
Absolutely amazing
They are always so in sync.
That drum solo is even better than i had imagined live... 🤘
And in the end, the "Skit, scat and a mutha-fukkn skit scat" bit is legit the most enjoyable scat singing Ive ever heard.
AHHHHHHHHHH I LOVE YOU GUYS SO EFFING MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 15 years after I discovered them with my friends in High School and still an incredible DUO!!!!
KG makes scatting while playing guitar look effortless! The man is god!
Wow...I'm pretty impressed. I've never really listened much to tenacious D, but, I'm pretty impressed.
I think this might actually be the best video on TH-cam.
Gutted that they didn't include Carry That Weight in the medley but it is still a legendary medley by The D nonetheless.
I really don't think it would have went with the feel of the song.
I was absolutely dying at the end 😂😂😂
jack black + kyle gass = a treasure
Man I love the way Kyle Gas can translate anything beautifully into guitar.
02:55 just like me while singing in the shower
2:21 classic JB
They need to tour with Tommy Emmanuel and Rodrigo y Gabriela.
Best Beatles Collab Ever.
What a great way to start my morning lol
Ages like fine wine! Always better!
I was not expecting the absolutely brilliant late gibberish. Thank you!
They inject their style so much into it that it barely sounds like the Beatles. It’s nice to see covers that sound unique
thanks for everything
You never give me your money is easily the best beatles song
Simply I just LOVE them :D
I watched the original Beatles Medley music video too many times to admit.
The power duo the world needs
How much fun would it be to see these guys live in some tiny little bar somewhere??
I’m gonna tell my kids this was the Beatles.
Jack not belting Golden Slumbers seems like a missed opportunity. Some day.
