Jack Black really nailed it. I knew he could sing but the way that he plays around with the song while hitting all the right notes pretty much spot on. Hard to say what version I like better
I wish he would play Meatloaf in a movie. I'd love to hear him sing You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth. It Must've Been While You Were Kissing Me🎼🎶🎶
By far the best vocals on these music video recreations from Jimmy and celebrity guests. Jack Black’s got some serious vocal abilities and the harmonizing is so spot on!
It's a shame he leans into the comedy all the time. Like I totally get he likes it and feels fulfilled by it, and that's fine too. But it just feels like the music world is missing something by not having at least one totally sincere song written and sung by Black. Maybe this is the closest we'll get...
Should check out Jack Black singing out the national anthem (US), it is on TH-cam posted several years ago. No joke one of the best I’ve ever heard!!! Crazy talented dude:
I forget on a regular basis that Jack is a legitimately great singer. Even in this video, he’s mugging the camera and hamming it up but then he hits that vibrato and I get CHILLS. He’s so good!
@@bryantaylor1572 F tribute, let's be real, there are so many beautiful and more good ballads than this, take outside of the genre, cemetery gates, nothing else matters, fade to black I can go on forever that can top the lists.
Can we talk about the attention to detail. Not just the hair, getup, mannerisms, singing and harmonies but the camera angles, camera going across the dials on the amp in the beginning, the graphic on the kick drum, the Remo stamps on the drum kit, the Mesa boogie cabinets in the background. Everything is so spot on to the original music video. And Jimmy Fallon is actually playing most of the guitar in it too by the looks of it. Saying they nailed this is an understatement.
@@stephenfrancis303 man I missed that. You're right! They got the Washburn nuno N4 with the reverse headstock in the back. Good spotting. Makes this video even better. Because the vocals were so good and it was so spot on with the original more than words video I think it makes this one better!
Fuck yeah dude. I remember when tenacious d was just coming up, SNL was still good, the South Park movie came out, and everyone was talking shit on aim. Middle school was a dope time.
Jack can ham some lyrics if he wants to, he did a bit here, but he's just an amazing singer. Too be honest they're both good singers. Jack's better, but still.
The better he is singing, the funnier he acts, whether it be Tenacious D or something like this. It's like he uses it as a distraction from the fact he's really trying and succeeding.
The world will never fully acknowledge the truth, that Jack Black has one of the prettiest singing voices known to man. When he acts silly and uses humor to distract from his massive range and total vocal control, he's doing it to avoid overshadowing the rest of the performance.
Jack Black messes around and is better than a majority of musicians around. I don't have to be a musician to recognize talent. Perhaps it's because I'm not a pretentious musician that believes not being a musician disqualifies another, that in fact renders your perspective moot. I don't judge music through the narrow scope of whatever you consider to be valid.
@@Cronus_1 your answer to his ignorant comment could not have been more perfect. No cussing no nothing. Just showing him how pathetic he sounded. Good job 👍🏽
@@guywebster8018 FFS...it was a joke comment, b/c we ALL sound this awesome, to ourselves, in the mirror, even when we know we aren't 1/10 as good. Take your Vulcan lack of humour and go...somewhere else.
Playing it nearly perfectly straight made it so much better than if they had hammed it up. Its just so good. They are both such huge talents. Jack Black really is a phenomenal singer and performer.
He's a fucking singer. What the hell did you all expect. Fuckin' children, honestly. Surprised by old shit when they realise their experiences aren't in anyway new or special.
Jack Black’s family has contributed to humanity more than most ever could. His talent and humour are amazing. His mother wrote coding for NASA during the Apollo days.
@Zakk Davis It was an oxygen canister that exploded due to faulty wiring during routine procedure on Apollo 13. It had nothing to do with their flight course. In fact, it was pure brilliance on the part of NASA to get those men home. You need to educate yourself, because your comment makes you look ignorant of the facts.
I remember buying the first Tenacious D album thinking it would be like Adam Sandler's album. As a guitarist let me just say I was crushed. I got past it.
The vid is hilarious, but when I close my eyes and just listen to the vocals im blown away by how good it is. They harmonize with each other so effortlessly! Love it!
I think something going unnoticed is Jimmy Fallon's attention to detail. Jack deviates from the original video's movements, but it still feels like the original videos. A large part is how much Jimmy is accurately recreating. Hair flicks, head turns, posturing. He really had to have studied the guitarist's body movements.
Yeah, they screwed up royally! ;-) I've come back to this video 3 or 4 times over the past couple of years. I really enjoy it for BOTH the comedy of Jack Black's mugging for the camera (and Jimmy actually staying in character) and for the quality of the performance. There is another YT video out there that plays this performance side-by-side with the original music video and they match perfectly.
@jamesk479 I agree with all that except the incomprehensible lyrics part. It is actually a very emotional song. Instead of just saying I love you to someone, they sang that a person shouldn't have to say that phrase bc their actions will have already made them feel loved. Idk. After hearing it a million times it is corny, but in its day-i fangirled
@@TheRealMrLofasz I never realized back in the 90s (as a kid/teenager) how good Nuno is. And I also didn't know til a few years ago that Mike Mangini was drumming for Extreme back then. Shitload of talent in that band lol.
I can't believe this is the first time I've seen this and it's 6 years old! Love this song! I know they put a funny twist on it, but damn, that was impressive from both Jack and Jimmy. Good stuff!!
Cristobal Guajardo Penroz Nailing these details is indeed one of Jack's strengths. He imitated The Rock in an interview for Jumanji, spot on. Plus one charity video where he even nailed Cate Blanchett's manners.
Wow, I just came across this randomly after I just wrote a sad song, and Jack Black and Jimmy Fallon absolutely nailed this song. There is a comedic side to this video, but it is incredibly overshadowed by the vocals, my goodness!! Jack Black covers are again and again proving to be the best version, even over the originals!
Did they mean this to be silly…? Because this is GREAT. This has to be one of the best covers ever. I mean they even got the facial expressions right 😂 their voices are so good!
I was alive when the original video by Extreme came out...this is an amazing cover and dang near close to the original! The look, the black and white...love it!
Yea jimmy plays the guitar but he is not playing the song properly in the video -some of the chords he is playing are wrong and strumming (except for a few close ups) doesnt sync. Its not the most difficult song but I wouldnt be surprised if he just couldnt be bothered learning it and just had one of his dudes play it for him.
@@aldwin_art I know Jimmy does play the guitar. They both have great voices but Jimmy is not playing the guitar in this bit, notice on the last strum of the guitar in the song. He is not hitting the strings but the guitar is still be strummed. It still is a great rendition however.
Soccer is the biggest and most important sport on Earth and is massive in over 240 countries. Every nation on Earth loves Soccer. Baseball is only popular in 17 countries. Soccer will be the number 1 sport in the USA by 2050 wwrjv
The only way to pull this off IS to do it beautifully. It’s the stark contrast needed to be hilarious. Is there a comedic term to describe this humor? Like ironic??
Jack Black is extremely versatile, can sing almost any sort of style but killed it with Kyle Gass in Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny, a Grammy winning performance. Funny, talented, you hit it. the full package. And Fallon is known for singing and covering songs, able to recreate all kinds of songs to entertain... and suceeding!

bakerXderek OK... I know this is joke and all, but damn these guys have talent. I just hope they're not going along through life thinking they aren't the real deal. Well, they are, but it's on their own terms, even if they don't know it. Thumbs up if you agree and want to let them know!
Holee molee, Jack Black has an epic voice. They are both such good musicians but also amazing comedians! I could never do this with a straight face lol.
I love Jack Black. I got to meet him on the set of a Jumanji commercial. He was hilarious and nice in between takes. Very nice guy and extremely hard worker. TALLENTED!! 💫
I know they made this duet as a comedy but Jack really can sing. Actually I stopped watching the video and just listened to the vocals. I’ve always loved the talent of Jack Black💕🌻
Prince is another one, he refused autotune, he said his voice was a gift from God and e wasn't going to alter it, so when you listen to Prince, that's what he really sounded like - with the intention of when he used it intentionally in some songs for effect, like his Camille period.
The trick is to listen to it without watching it and it just sounds great. Then, go back to it and watch it with the volume off or very low, you can laugh at the expressions that they make.
Thank you so much for your cover of "More Than Words" Jack and Jimmy. I remember when "Extreme' released its original version nearly 34 years ago. You've brought back many good memories of my teen years from the early 1990s by your flawless rendition of this song 😉
The greatest compliment I could give it is to say that in the last 7 years not a single piece of better music has been uploaded to the internet. This is what you call perfection ❤
Thet is a great compliment however you should check out Angelina Jordan, either her AGT performances or her I Have Nothing cover, she's a teenager with an insanely beautiful voice.
Sharon Lewis - Of course he would. Fallon and Black's somewhat heartfelt rendition of More than Words helps put the band Extreme back in the limelight! That translates to more people picking up/downloading their music that would have normally never heard of them.
When you try to make a parody, but your absolutely badass talent gets in the way.
😀😀😀😀👍. You said it perfectly!!
I always thought the original sucked. This wasn't half bad.
And it ends up better than the original
Well said
@@shaneinman9985 How could the original suck when they sound pretty much the same.
The fact that this was made 5 years ago and I havent discovered it before now is infuriating
Same here
No lie😂
yah, I just found it, very disgusting with youtube ._.
Shame on you!!!
Same 😂
Jack Black is a CRIMINALLY underrated vocalist. His comedic genius overshadows his powerhouse voice!!!
He’s kind of known for being a comedic actor that actually can sing.
^ school of rock? Aha
Stop calling everything underrated, NPC.
@Lukas Akadian your moms love gash is underrated, npc 😂😂😂
I know, right? I love Jack Black. He’s hilarious! 😆
If you can hit every note perfectly while goofing around on top of that…
Then, you truly rock.
Very good false setto control (could've spelt it wrong)
I actually sing better when I play around 😂 jack black is a legend
Well he did teach at the School of Rock, so you know he's legit!
It's pre-recorded in a studio. They're just lip syncing for the video.
@@Bawkzers which is pretty obvious - most don't seem to notice (and it's fair not to care).
The incredible thing about this video is that while their gestures are funny, the actual cover itself is genuinely great without irony.
I was just gonna say that.
So True....I’m laughing at the gestures but the vocals are good!
@@tangie7
Both of them are actually very talented, musically as well as comedically.
I mean... the harmony! Wow
I though this was like lip-sync , but result that they are really singing o.O? wow.
This isn't a cover, this is a tribute.
Underrated comment. Shows Not many know 'tribute' 😎😎😎
Yes 👌
WELL ITS THE GREATEST TRIBUTE TO COME OUT !!!🤝😂
@@WhiteShadow_07
I wish Kyle was sitting there as a cameo.
This's more than tribute.
Jack Black is so iconic as a comedian that many people don't realize what a phenomenal musician he is.
He's actually quite the musical genius.
Not true
Real fans know he can saaanng
Pick of destiny ?
They do, it's just easier to say he's an actor.
@@misanthropic985 heck, even in hifidelity he showed his musical chops.

Jack Black really nailed it. I knew he could sing but the way that he plays around with the song while hitting all the right notes pretty much spot on. Hard to say what version I like better
I was expecting the power house voice, I didn’t actually realise his vocal range👌🏾
I wish he would play Meatloaf in a movie. I'd love to hear him sing You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth. It Must've Been While You Were Kissing Me🎼🎶🎶
That would be something I'd actually pay to watch. I don't pay extra for things outside my platforms, but wow, that's a fantastic idea.@@loriwest610
You do realize that the concept of a videoclip is that they lipsync on something they perfected in the studio?
Jimmy can't harmonize with Jack like the originals could. If there were two Jacks singing, it would not even be a contest. ❤
By far the best vocals on these music video recreations from Jimmy and celebrity guests. Jack Black’s got some serious vocal abilities and the harmonizing is so spot on!
When Jimmy did Old Man by Neil Young it was amazing
It's a shame he leans into the comedy all the time. Like I totally get he likes it and feels fulfilled by it, and that's fine too. But it just feels like the music world is missing something by not having at least one totally sincere song written and sung by Black. Maybe this is the closest we'll get...

This is not just a parody, this is a REAL TRIBUTE FOR THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BALLAD EVER.
Most beautiful ballad?
@@invincible____67 This and Truly Madly Deeply? Yes, tops. But also, this is just a tribute.

Perfect comment.
And while keeping the pitch and harmony on point.
Just a shame Jimmy Fallon allways creeping and riding coat tails and piggybacking everyone else
I love how Jack black really does have a beautiful voice too. It's so cool to see him being funny and goofing off while singing so gorgeously
Exa. Cato mundo
Exactly my thoughts 😁
Underneath Jack Blacks' comedic stance, his actually a great singer.
Yep. Has a band
No shit Tenacious D is from 1996 lol
Oh really? When he was acting like a comedian almost nobody noticed
He makes me melt with this song.
He’s an incredible singer. His range is insane.

Jack black has a beautiful voice and Jimmy can play and sing just about like anyone he chooses to. He is truly talented.
Haha. Jimmy did not play guitar....And he is not a singer
@TheSportsGuru Are there proof of this?
Yea jimmy plays the guitar but he is not playing the song properly in the video -some of the chords he is playing are wrong and strumming (except for a few close ups) doesnt sync. Its not the most difficult song but I wouldnt be surprised if he just couldnt be bothered learning it and just had one of his dudes play it for him.
@Mr Jee ‘Idiot Boyfriend’ is a classic
@@aldwin_art I know Jimmy does play the guitar. They both have great voices but Jimmy is not playing the guitar in this bit, notice on the last strum of the guitar in the song. He is not hitting the strings but the guitar is still be strummed. It still is a great rendition however.
The way Jack Black held that "Just by saying 'I love you'." Damn that way nice.
Jack Blacks voice is so funny and beautiful at the same time..
... beautiful ...
and the same.....ALL THE TIME
It's probably because it's so weirdly and surprisingly beautiful that it catches you off guard and is "funny"
The weird thing here is that the reason this is funny is because they performed it so beautifully.

You accidentally posted in the wrong video. 😂😂😂
The only way to pull this off IS to do it beautifully. It’s the stark contrast needed to be hilarious. Is there a comedic term to describe this humor? Like ironic??
jack black is one in a million! he's got the full package he can sing,dance and act and the facial expressions! He's flawless
Sophie Doggett i agree
Jack Black is extremely versatile, can sing almost any sort of style but killed it with Kyle Gass in Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny, a Grammy winning performance. Funny, talented, you hit it. the full package. And Fallon is known for singing and covering songs, able to recreate all kinds of songs to entertain... and suceeding!
Jack black is literally the twin of my brother lol
Johnny sins better
CANT ACT, HATE WITH A PASSION....BUT CAN SING ABIT I QUESS
See we all used to sing this before work and this was truly a beautiful harmonized tribute.
This was recommended to me by youtube and i'm not complaining.
Same
Yep! But I'm going to stick with the real Nuno😉😋😁
Same
Me too
Meant to be parody, actually one of the greatest covers of all time.
When a joke turns into a masterpiece!🤣🤗🤗🤗
Exactly.
So good

100 percent true
This was an unironically awesome cover!
Watching every six months for the rest of my life.
This is love, This is life
I love you.
Lol love it
bakerXderek CHEAH!!!!
I had no idea these 2 could be so perfect. None.
bakerXderek OK... I know this is joke and all, but damn these guys have talent. I just hope they're not going along through life thinking they aren't the real deal. Well, they are, but it's on their own terms, even if they don't know it. Thumbs up if you agree and want to let them know!
Always loved jack blacks voice, so real
You can tell he loves music
You could say, it's more than words. I'll leave.
+MissSorceress . good one.
MissSorceress
Such a cute comment.
FriendlyCrooc cool profile pic.
Fuck, i'm not laughing. This is one of my favorite songs ever and they did it hella justice
Damn fucking straight as hell
Jack is isn’t a singer. He is a vocalist. Amazing pipes.
What you said
@@simplypatti6705
Actually he really is a singer
@@fyfyi6053 🤦🏻♀️
I've been watching this video for 8 years, everyone once in awhile when I need to cheer up, this one always makes me laugh.
I can't stop laughing but at the same time so in awe of their talent.
Jack Black is so underrated.
It's because you never know when to take him seriously. like a Jim Carey.
Definitely. Jim Carrey's depth as a serious actor is crazy.
Cameron Rice So Fucking True
Sevyn J. i'll probably get hate for this but having seen The Majestic, Carey is wasted in comedy
Jack black underrated sense when.
How does Jimmy look good in every single costume??? Love him!!!
I believe it's called: "Make up".
I think it's French.
Sunny Jang Indeed. I have never seen anyone rock wigs the way Jimbo rocks them.
junior Penitila Not french for sure!!
I love him
Sunny Jang Cuz he's just plain hot, that's how. ; )
Yes Jack Black is a great actor and hilarious. But he does truly have a good voice
I simply can't get enough of this... I watch it several times a day!!
6 years later this is still awesome!
Holee molee, Jack Black has an epic voice. They are both such good musicians but also amazing comedians! I could never do this with a straight face lol.
His voice is great. His band tenactious D is supposed to be comedic, but his voice is so damn good in it.
His fat bottom girls and kiss from a rose are epic
I love Jack Black. I got to meet him on the set of a Jumanji commercial. He was hilarious and nice in between takes. Very nice guy and extremely hard worker. TALLENTED!! 💫
He is amazing.
How awesome to see Jack Black.... So very cool.
Just so cool
Wow you got to meet JablinskiGames very cool
Jack & Jimmy both can really sing that what makes this so much better
Jack Black can't fail with that voice.
Tenacious for life.
“You guys changed peoples lives tonight”
Amen. Tenacious 4 life
I know they made this duet as a comedy but Jack really can sing. Actually I stopped watching the video and just listened to the vocals. I’ve always loved the talent of Jack Black💕🌻
The cool thing about Jack Black is that he sounds exactly the same on recordings as he does live
Prince is another one, he refused autotune, he said his voice was a gift from God and e wasn't going to alter it, so when you listen to Prince, that's what he really sounded like - with the intention of when he used it intentionally in some songs for effect, like his Camille period.
Fearless 512 jack black is a surprisingly good singer, he’s a jack of all trades really(pun not intended)
I love Jack’s voice! Amazing
Jimmy really needs to consider keeping that look.
🤣😂 LOL
Ssiii,le queda simpatico.parece Pocajontas!!!!
Jimmy Bettencourt look
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah did you see that hairflick too? Like daaang
The fact the Jimmy is actually playing the guitar shows you how much he loves the actual song. And we definitely know that Jack loves the song 🤣
He's not playing it, but he's doing a very, very good job of pretending to. :)
@@bosola7168 he has played it live before, he does know how to play the song
Watch him strumming the guitar, it doesn't match the song. it's very clear towardss the end he isnt playing the guitar in this.
Not in the video, but he has played it live before
Every guitar player in the 90s tried to learn this song. Its quite easy, but difficult enough to showcase
When your talent gets in the way and you can’t make this song funny
Okima Wilcox nailed it!!
Yeah, my thoughts exactly.
It was hilarious
It was really funny and beautiful at the same time - which is a great feat :)
The trick is to listen to it without watching it and it just sounds great. Then, go back to it and watch it with the volume off or very low, you can laugh at the expressions that they make.
Thank you so much for your cover of "More Than Words" Jack and Jimmy. I remember when "Extreme' released its original version nearly 34 years ago. You've brought back many good memories of my teen years from the early 1990s by your flawless rendition of this song 😉
The greatest compliment I could give it is to say that in the last 7 years not a single piece of better music has been uploaded to the internet. This is what you call perfection ❤
True!
Wow, talk about the bar being low!
Thet is a great compliment however you should check out Angelina Jordan, either her AGT performances or her I Have Nothing cover, she's a teenager with an insanely beautiful voice.
Hot facts right there
Try lil pump - Gucci gang
I'm not saying it's better but it's on the same level as this at the very least.
Why is it 2021 and just seeing this. I have to rethink my friends list.
Same
This!
SAME
Ditto!
I guess we all should be friends then.
Everybody knows how good Jack is. The amazing thing is how absolutely unbelievable Jimmy is.
Fallon is a fucking loser. Jack black is phenomenal
Yes they were both so good in this,my favorite song and they both did it justice.
I was here to read this 🙌🏼
Pretty sure that’s actually Nino
Fallon, his personality aside...is pretty damn good. He's done a lot of amazing covers. His duet with Miley Cyrus 😍
The original will always be the original if you're a 90s kid. But I will say you two turned it to gold when you touched it.
Jack is pure sunshine in a world of darkness

Jack Black, massive talent.
An Orson Welles in the making, with huge musical talent. You just keep getting better Jack.
I watched this when it first aired & now here in 2024. This rendition was IS EPIC ❤
The long hair actually looks good on both of them haha
agreed
Agree!
absolutely!!!
P
specially on jimmy lol
Nuno posted that he was honored by this recreation of his song. That is awesome.
Sharon Lewis - Of course he would. Fallon and Black's somewhat heartfelt rendition of More than Words helps put the band Extreme back in the limelight! That translates to more people picking up/downloading their music that would have normally never heard of them.
02:51. That was awesome! Both Jimmy staying in rhythm with the staccato play and Jack digging deep to put emotion to that one line. Wow, what a cover.
Normally Jimmy drives me up a wall, but this gave me goosebumps
