I don't understand why this is happening to you, there are a lot of big reaction channels out there that react to entire songs and they don't seem to have this issue.
@@thepayne7862 mine too! They surprised us with it during the encore a few years ago a Wembley Arena in the UK, it is possibly one of my favourite live music moments! It's such a great tune!
The idea of this not being the actual greatest song in the world, but rather a tribute, because they forgot the greatest song in the world is perhaps one of the most brilliant songwriting concepts ever. Even if you don't like it because it's "just a comedy song", the central conceit of the song itself deserves praise for its brilliance.
@@burkhartlaw1 It's almost like it's a line from the song that also works as a response to the title of the video... Not the greatest joke in the world, I'll admit, not even a tribute, but still just a joke.
Jack Black's level of commitment is achieved by very few performers. Every performance is a masterclass of full commitment and letting go of all inhibitions. All artists could learn a lot from this great man.
Rarely do I comment on a TH-cam video, but Tenacious D are wonderful and the Pick of Destiny is one of the greatest movies in the world (not a tribute)! Well said Sir Hawkins.
There's a part in The Pick of Destiny that still makes me bawl with laughter, just by thinking about it. It's when Jack is having a trip from eating shrooms and meets Sasquatch. The part in particular is when they're in the Strawberry River, but then it cuts to Jack, getting washed away by rapids in a real river. Makes my sides hurt. 🤣
The D are so good live! I saw them at the House of Blues in Chicago years ago. JB asked the crowd how we all knew the lyrics to their songs. Clearly we were all fans of the HBO show, as I don’t think they had released an album. Sasquatch was there too. It was epic!
I saw them in Houston. Jack's personality is so amazing and contagious. He positively changes the mood of everybody in the room with him no matter how many many people it is.
What HBO show is this? I never knew there was (possibly) a Tenacious D show??! I loved the movie, and all their albums, and I also got to see them at Leeds Festival in 2008 and it was hands down one of the best live performances I’ve seen. They even had the ‘The Metal’ robot and JB played the legs guitar. Amazing.
@@Addified It was just called Tenacious D, and it was definitely on HBO. I believe it was on in 1997 or around that time. The songs were so good! I think you can find the episodes or at least the songs on TH-cam.
@@LisaE444 I have to watch this! I always listened to the first D album and loved the songs but didn’t know they had an origin from a TV show they did. Thanks for the recommendation!
I was at a gig you played at a few months ago at Wembley Arena and this came on during the break between acts and THE ENTIRE arena started singing along. It was crazy.
The lyric '' Once every hundred thousand years or so, when the sun doth shine, and the moon doth glow, and the grass doth grow'' is absolutely brilliant, in a poetic and comedic sense. It is at once timeless, eternal and utterly banal, describing as it does, pretty much Any time, Ever.
"We are but men -- ROCK" is both hilarious and unironically one of the great lyrics of all time. Another legit good comedy rock song you should react to is Weird Al - Albuquerque
Roadie is both a fantastic love letter to the crews that make the shows happen, and an absolute banger of a tune. Only they can pull it off the way they do!
Wonderboy always blows me away because Jack hits some authentically beautiful phrases and then goes on to talk about the most absurd nonsense a beat later. The dichotomy is powerful and never dull.
Dude, I've been saying it for years but when Jack Black actually tries, he absolutely blows your fucking mind. Two words: Wicked Game. I legitimately almost cried. Cage really sets the tone when he plays. It's beautiful.
The D was absolutely a different take on the monster-ego quasi-parody rock persona that The Darkness was delving into in the early 2000s. I always liked the acoustic original version, with the many Stairway To Heaven lifts to imply that it was indeed Stairway To Heaven that they played to the demon.
Cracking stuff. I have many happy memories of a car full of mates on a road trip somewhere, all belting out classics from both Tenacious D (the record) and Permission to Land. Thanks for the tunes chaps. 🤘
With tenacious d, lyrics aside, they are top class in musicality and the complexity of the songs, they are always surrounded by great musicians and Jack and Kyle both are really good vocalist/guitarist
When I saw them live... their opening act was a couple of kids they had seen busking in the street the day before. I say kids, I mean 7 years old, that were nervous as hell but awesome. Such an awesome concert! Legends!
I love rock and I love Tenacious D, thanks for the validation / confirmation! Energy and commitment go a long way, not to mention that Gass is bloody talented.
‘Attention to detail’, I hate to admit and acknowledge I quite ignorantly really didn’t pay enough attention to detail and appreciate the music of ‘my generation’ properly at all, almost like I listened to the tunes but not the words kinda attitude. But I sure am loving paying attention to detail of these greats now! Thanks for bringing these gems back to us Justin! Side note, coincidentally I came across Jack Black’s TH-cam channel earlier today and had a great time!
How was I not aware you had a YT channel?? Went to see you at Hammersmith in 2011 when Brian May played with you and it was one of the greatest nights of my life to see my heroes live. Thank you for everything you do Justin and never stop rocking
Just to put your mind at rest, if I ever meet you, I am nobody. Loving the channel getting better every day. Your vids about past life are powerful and inspirational. Very best to you sir.
Hi Justin - in February this year we went to see the Darkness at Wembley Arena. Ten minutes before you went on Tribute started playing on the PA. Gradually over the first verses people started to join in, to the point where the whole crowd were singing along. It was quite an awesome experience and connection. Maybe it is the greatest song in the world after all?
I watch your reviews a lot. I love watching The Daily Doug reviews. He is interesting and I enjoy his insightful reviews. Others too. But to me its just by far that your reviews are the best due to your wonderful humor and clever delivery. So yes I did enjoy this review but I just wanted to chime in here to remind you of how awesome you are. Besides all your great music and live shows you have become a force to reckon with here with your TH-cam videos. Keep up the great work there my good fellow!!
Every time you cover a banger from the 2000s, the teenager in me squeals with delight. The planet is getting a bit warm and the economy might be shit, but this bit of the future right here is awesome!
For comments day excellent work my friend on the channel Me and my wife saw you in Cardiff earlier this year and you absolutely owned it, can't wait to see you guys again. Glad to hear youve got yourself a telecaster you won't be disappointed any chance of you showing us on here and any plans to use it on future gigs also any chance of getting your thoughts or a review on Status quo in the future
It really is masterfully written and composed. It's proggy without being bloated. That short a cappella section harkens back hundreds of years to powdered wigs and harpsichords, while remaining playful and fun...and not pompous or stuffy. And the song also calls back to the old American blues tradition of meeting the devil at a crossroads. And it also hints that maybe the best song in the world is "Stairway to Heaven", which I wouldn't necessarily agree with, but can appreciate. And I just want to say to you Justin, that I always appreciated your band and your music for having a bit of a tongue-in-cheek approach towards the grandiosity of 70s arena rock. I always say that parody has to come from a place of love, because otherwise it's just mean-spirited. And although The Darkness isn't a comedic or parody band per se, I think you guys put just enough of that into your music and performances to let the audience know that you're not taking yourselves too seriously.
You have amazing style! I don't know how you look younger than I remember from when I was younger listening to the Darkness! Glad to see you're doing well and love the videos.
I didn't know Tenacious D, i will check them. I like this kind of stuff... "Comedy Rock" as you call it. In fact i used to listen a spanish rock band who does the same thing... "comedy rock", it name is "Mojinos Escozios". If you want to listen them, i recommend you the song "Lo mío es el metal" (My thing is metal). It's the story of a man who works in a hardware store. I like very much hilarious lyrics. In fact, much of your lyrics and songs (The Darkness) are hilarous. I really love, for example, "Heavy metal lover"... I find it super hilarious. I like to laugh... To finish my comment, i've just received the notification that "The ultimate mug" ,☕ is on way to Seville... I will be drinking soon the tea in it😊 You look suntuned Justin, UKs palatial retreat suits you well.
I had the same wild amazed and grateful appreciation for 'I believe in a thing called love'. It was so off the wall but the singing and musicianship was unbelievable. I was a fan from day one. And yes I had heard the tribute to the greatest song in the world years before. ❤
Justin i didnt quite "get" u when u started. Then i did. Now i fuckin love u, and ur band. And ur associations through the years have added a gravitas to how i feel about u. Ur my hero bud. Brilliant ❤
Great video Justin, dubbed after the Ren interview and have been really enjoying the content. You’re very articulate and you have a very beautiful ear for music man. Sending love from Tennessee!
No exaggeration, tenacious D is the reason I picked up the guitar. Tribute is absolutely excellent! Awesome video, your eloquence is absolutely inspirational.
Bloody hell can't believe it was that long ago 😭 ps your PF interview was epic! I've now subscribed, thank you so much for introducing us to his genius, I laughed till I cried at the chilli peppers episode🤣🤣🤣🤣
Saw them supporting the Fooeys on the Gold Coast about 10 years ago ...a couple of very talented individuals who rocked and gave everybody a bit of a laugh what more could you ask for
What is also genius about it is that when you have a band, you probably experienced making something awesome jamming in rehearsal and a week later no one in the band remembers that, just like what happened with them.
I have a strong urge to sing Wonderboy at a public karaoke night because it's fun and funny to freeze a group of strangers with either your unexpected talent or brazen absurdity. A tone-deaf friend of mine 'sang' D'ya Think I'm Sexy once and all conversation stopped. It was magical.
Its wild how many people you have met, never heard your music, but you got good taste and i'm about to check it out your work. Edit... nope ive def heard your work.
I always thought you were a talent, I didn't realize I would be listening to every video you posted on youtube tho! I enjoy them alot, keep it up brethren!
Fookin awesome dude thanks for doing the mother fookin D. That first album is just the nuts. I personally can't wait to travel in tubes also ❤ The stuff they were doing around the viper room time like sasquatch is just hilarious. keep up the smashing work captain rock n roll 🤘
I LOVE Tenacious D! Jack Black is so underrated as a musician & singer. I mean is there anything that he doesn't approach w/ ridiculous energy & passion? Not surprised Justin digs them at all. A tip of the hat to an extra great episode.
Both tenacious d and steel panther craft really good melodic songs. They may have silly lyrics but they're really good songs. And Jack Black and Kyle Gass harmonize really good together.
I laughed for months when that first album came out, but I also regarded it as a tender, affectionate tribute to the music we both obviously adore. And the fact that my boyfriend seranaded me with "Fuck her Gently" soon after will forever cement this album in my nostalgic favorites. 🤘🏻😂🤘🏻
TD always push boundaries, and for the most part, I think they're hilarious. However that song is disgusting in my opinion... can't bear to listen to it....makes me cringe 😬😬😬
Two things can be true at the same time, it can be a "send up" but also brilliant as a stand-alone. For instance, Stonehenge and Big Bottom by Spinal Tap are awesome and I would buy the music from that film even if it weren't a Mockumentary.
I agree in every word and line you say about rock music, Tenatious D and their music. They are very talented both musically and as comedians. Very enjoyable.
so... what we have here is a tribute... to the tribute... of the greatest song in the world. I think I should put up a video lionizing this clip above. Which would then be a tribute to... the tribute to... you get it. Great video, LOVE the D. Saw them live and it was as great as you'd think. but better. Besides the brilliant comic chops, JB is a frighteningly good and capable singer. Same with KG on guitar, watching him was a master class on acoustic.
THE D IS SO GREAT...GENIUSES...but as always, Justin can play anything. So good on the accoustic....acoustic.... Btw, do u miss the facial hair? Looked good on you sir
Well, that put a huge smile on my face after a pretty crap day. Yes, the D doth ROCK!!!! Justin, have you done a video on Spinal Tap? If not, it must be done. If you have, where can I find it? Superb and thanks 🙂
I love the original version, with that little piece of stairway, also regarded as the greatest song in the world. Anyway, the wrestling scene in that video is CLASSIC! Rocket Sauce & all! BRILLIANT! Love your work, as always Justin!
Tribute and I Believe in a Thing Called Love are both ridiculous and glorious. They're just so fun. Both videos are classic too. "We'll be rocking till the sun goes down" falsetto is over the top silly and compares to the goofy demon voice "plaaayy the best sooong in the world, or I'll eat your souls." Brilliant!
It's a tribute to three songs: Metallica’s "One", Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" and-obvious from the lyrics-Charlie Daniels Band’s "The Devil Went Down To Georgia"
This is so difficult not to sing along to - it's an absolute bonafide rock classic. I'd heard that it was a Tribute to Stairway, as JB is a huge Zep fan. Some have said 'The Devil went down to Georgia'. First time I'd heard it was after Metallica's 'One' But up there with ACDC'S Big Balls, Aerosmith's Big ten inch, Whitesnakes Slide it In or pretty much anything by Steel Panther. Comedy rock is alive and well, my friends...
PLEASE NOTE: The copyright bots were in full swing on this one and I had to use really really short clips and speed them up a tiny bit. I hated doing but I kept getting flagged.
Thank you for explaining, I really wondered. Hugs from Denmark Lene61/🇩🇰🥰
I don't understand why this is happening to you, there are a lot of big reaction channels out there that react to entire songs and they don't seem to have this issue.
Bummer. That being said, you should also do a video on "Rize of the Fenix" 😁
An ongoing battle I really appreciate your work
Fight the power! Get Jack to ok the use!
What I love about Tenacious D is how they’re branded as a “joke” band but have created some amazing musical moments
My favorite song of their's is Wonderboy.
I see jack in an interview and he said they tried to right seriouse songs but they were shite lol
@@thepayne7862 great song, personally I could listen to the main riff of The Metal all day 🤘

Not the greatest joke in the world, I'll admit, not even a tribute, but still just a joke.
the moment in time where Tenacious D and Electric Six were actually getting airplay was really cool.
Jack Black's level of commitment is achieved by very few performers.
Every performance is a masterclass of full commitment and letting go of all inhibitions.
All artists could learn a lot from this great man.
I will not accept any criticism of The D.
They are ROCK GODS.
Anyone who disagrees is a smelly poo poo head.
Very well said, I agree fully
Ever heard of a fella who goes by the name Jim Carey?
I rather compare him to John Candy then Carey
Rarely do I comment on a TH-cam video, but Tenacious D are wonderful and the Pick of Destiny is one of the greatest movies in the world (not a tribute)! Well said Sir Hawkins.
Ah yeah, like anything, it takes a little practice to assert your unique individuaaaalism.😊😅
Funny how they credit their talent to Satan?
Amazing movie, sasquatch scenes were some of the funniest and a great song when JB is tripping lol
The mission is clear! I'm going over there!
There's a part in The Pick of Destiny that still makes me bawl with laughter, just by thinking about it. It's when Jack is having a trip from eating shrooms and meets Sasquatch. The part in particular is when they're in the Strawberry River, but then it cuts to Jack, getting washed away by rapids in a real river. Makes my sides hurt. 🤣
'Juicy...'
"You're my son, JB. My widdle baby Sas!"
LOL even though I’m not a fan of the tripping portion of the film, that moment does make me laugh
That part always cracks me up, too! That, and “time to FWY!!!”

Tribute and Wonderboy are both God tier songs. Adding them to the Spotify playlist I force my gradeschool daughters to listen to in the car now.
But not cock pushups?
Wonderboy is one of the greatest songs ever... period!
City Hall rocks
With powers COMPARABLE to Wonder Boy!! Lol😍
Wonderboy always blows me away because Jack hits some authentically beautiful phrases and then goes on to talk about the most absurd nonsense a beat later. The dichotomy is powerful and never dull.

The guitar player from the Vandals does the solo. Dave plays drums and rhythm guitar.
Rize of the Fenix is a fantastic song that's basically a journey through rock history.

Two things can be true at the same time, it can be a "send up" but also brilliant as a stand-alone. For instance, Stonehenge and Big Bottom by Spinal Tap are awesome and I would buy the music from that film even if it weren't a Mockumentary.
Yeah same with the song America, flower people... Legitimately pleasing to the ear. And would be even if they weren't comedy songs
Talk about Mudflaps... my Girls got em! :)
@@darrenwells2277 How could I leave this BEHIND.? Ya see wot they did there?😆
Love this song, longtime favorite of mine. Thanks for covering it!
Yes the song is awesome! I love it, and I am quoting lines from the move Pick Of Destiny to this day 😄 " I love the rock and the roll"
Thanks Justin. I had completely forgotten about this one. Sending it to my kids😅
Love this breakdown from a true rock Jedi ❤️🤘❤️
I agree in every word and line you say about rock music, Tenatious D and their music. They are very talented both musically and as comedians. Very enjoyable.
Couldn't agree more Justin. They are fookin' awesome 👍👍👍👍
Love the bookshelves behind you!
Awesome song, awesome video Justin. It deserves the best comment in the world, which I did leave but then accidentally deleted and forgot.
so... what we have here is a tribute... to the tribute... of the greatest song in the world. I think I should put up a video lionizing this clip above. Which would then be a tribute to... the tribute to... you get it. Great video, LOVE the D. Saw them live and it was as great as you'd think. but better. Besides the brilliant comic chops, JB is a frighteningly good and capable singer. Same with KG on guitar, watching him was a master class on acoustic.
THE D IS SO GREAT...GENIUSES...but as always, Justin can play anything. So good on the accoustic....acoustic....
Btw, do u miss the facial hair? Looked good on you sir
Well, that put a huge smile on my face after a pretty crap day. Yes, the D doth ROCK!!!!
Justin, have you done a video on Spinal Tap? If not, it must be done. If you have, where can I find it? Superb and thanks 🙂
A great video as always Mr Hawkins, thank you ❤️❤️❤️
I love the original version, with that little piece of stairway, also regarded as the greatest song in the world. Anyway, the wrestling scene in that video is CLASSIC! Rocket Sauce & all! BRILLIANT! Love your work, as always Justin!
And i said nay!
We are butt men!
@@DaveDuncanMusic RAWK!
We are but men! ROCK!
I can just hear The Darkness covering this so well. What about a covers album Justin 😂. You’ve already done one and that was pretty fucking amazing!!
Tribute and I Believe in a Thing Called Love are both ridiculous and glorious. They're just so fun. Both videos are classic too. "We'll be rocking till the sun goes down" falsetto is over the top silly and compares to the goofy demon voice "plaaayy the best sooong in the world, or I'll eat your souls." Brilliant!
100% agree Justin, it’s absolutely brilliant and it always has been. 😊
Great Video Justin, this is a tribute!!!!
It's a tribute to three songs: Metallica’s "One", Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" and-obvious from the lyrics-Charlie Daniels Band’s "The Devil Went Down To Georgia"
I listened to the whole album again recently. It still holds up again most modern attempts at rock!
This is so difficult not to sing along to - it's an absolute bonafide rock classic. I'd heard that it was a Tribute to Stairway, as JB is a huge Zep fan. Some have said 'The Devil went down to Georgia'. First time I'd heard it was after Metallica's 'One'
But up there with ACDC'S Big Balls, Aerosmith's Big ten inch, Whitesnakes Slide it In or pretty much anything by Steel Panther. Comedy rock is alive and well, my friends...
In the ahow they ran, they had a different version of "Tribute" and KG plays riffs from "Stairway" here and there.
They have actually stated they are talking about one by Metallica so..
