Not recognizing Meatloaf might just be the part of this reaction I was most amused by. "Actually a suppressed rockstar" was really endearing. Love you Lolli!
Came in the comments, but in a different way. Meatloaf was a crucial part of shaping rock in the 70's and 80's. I mean rock anthems that are still played at weddings to this day. "Let me sleep on it, I'll give you an answer in the morning." That's Meatloaf! If that doesn't ring a bell, he played a heavy chested man in fight club. You should check him out @The Fairy Voice Mother. This was so much fun to watch... Oh, btw. You brought it up so I think you might enjoy it. Tenacious D did a cover of hit me baby 1 more time. A really short cover, but if you enjoy it, maybe you could make it longer by reacting to a bunch of their covers... Pinball wizard and wicked games
2:58 "There seems to be some continuity between him and his dad's voice, so it's kinda like... dad, I got this from you." Incredibly flattering towards actual Jack Black since the dad in this scene is straight up Meatloaf.
Not only was that actually Dio in the opening song, but his father was played by Meatloaf. Not just a suppressed rock star, but another actual rock legend. There's a video of Dio singing his part and Jack being in awe of him. Then Dio actually asked if there was more for him to do, because he really liked the project. Side note: Kickapoo is a real town. IDK if there's one in Missouri or not, but there is one up in Wisconsin for sure, as well as a Kickapoo river.
I don't remember where I heard/read this, but Dio supposedly brought his own mic, and the studio crew said not to worry about that because they had everything ready for them. He began to do his part and blew out their mic. He apologized and explained that this is why he brings his own gear, and they had to redo the part with Dio's mic.
I love that it seems like he's just spent the last couple decades occasionally showing up to do whatever he thinks would be fun or funny. This, Fight Club, he did an episode of South Park at one point. Just seems like a fun guy enjoying life.
Even though I lived a similar experience like young JB; with an over-bearing religious father, every time I see his part in the song come up I am just brimming with excitement. like "Yay! Meatloaf!"
>Nadsat is English with some borrowed words from Russian. It also contains influences from Cockney rhyming slang, the King James Bible, German, some words of unclear origin and some that Burgess invented. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nadsat
Fun Fact: Jack Black's mom was a computer programmer at NASA. In fact, she wrote the code for the Apollo program's navigation system, code she finished while in the hospital in labor WITH Jack.
Also, the part where they don't remember the song they played at the end of the movie is what leads to "Tribute" which was part of their self titled album in 2001.
There's a funny story regarding Dio's part in the Movie. Dio brought his own microphone but Jack Black told him not to use it because they already had some. Dio warned them and fried their microphone on the first take. They then used his microphone.
Highly recommend a documentary done by Dave Grohl called Sound City. It's about the studio of the same name in Van Nuys, LA. When the studio closed Grohl bought the sound board, and had it moved up to his home studio in Seattle. He decided to do a look back at all the legendary albums recorded at Sound City (including Nevermind by Nirvana) while at the same time asking the artist to his home to record new songs on that old sound board.
Regarding the 'demonization of cockneys' 😉 The masked goons are a Clockwork Orange reference, who in that movie speak a strange blend of English/Russian slang called Nadsat - with the obligatory Cockney accents 🤣🤣🤣
BTW, those side beard things are called "Sideburns" in honor of Union Army General Ambrose Everett Burnside (May 23, 1824 - September 13, 1881) His spectacular growth of whiskers became known as "sideburns", deriving from the two parts of his surname.
One song you should check out after now having watched this and tribute is "The ballad of Hollywood jack and the rage cage" It's basically a song of everything that happened after this. Jack's fame in Hollywood, how they drifted and Kyle went down hill while jack kept rising, and how they reunited and Jack brought Kyle back up.
An awesome watch is Play by Dave Grohl which is a 23 minute song where he plays every instrument. So he records the full playthrough on one instrument then does another 23 minute play through on a different instrument etc. Its 7 instruments including Piano, which he admits he doesn't (normally) play. He doesn't read music so he had to memorise all 23 minutes for each of the 7 instruments.
For the expression you made when you recognized Dio, you made my day. Why not make another video on another of his performances? Love your channel. 😍🤘🏻
Awesome Lolli. The fact you committed to the whole movie and did a reaction, i might have fallen in love!! No matter how many times i listen to the D it still cracks me up. You just have to get through their albums now.
27:09 - Funny thing is Tenacious D recently did a cover of this very song!!! lol 36:28 - Dave Grohl, drummer of Nirvana and lead singer/guitarist of Foo Fighters/Dream Widow. He played every instrument and sang on the first Foo Fighters album!
Like others mention, the mockumentary "Spinal Tap" would be an obvious choice to react to It will also come with a few "Oh, did that rock term come from here" -moments - especially if you have ever played Guitar Hero :)
As for Dave, he can play any instrument and sing. The first Foo Fighters album was made by him and him alone, he wrote and played all instruments and did the vocals. And so did he do for this movie play the instruments you see him play and sing the vocals you see him sing. Tenacious D opened for Foo Fighters at festivals for a while and Dave has played the drums at some of Tenacious D shows. The most wholesome rockers in the world (Kyle, JB and Dave) are also the most wholesome friends in rock.
If you don’t know about it Dave Grohl did a record called Probot which was him doing most of the instrumentation and his favourite vocalists singing. Lemmy, Lee Dorian etc.
Comment not related to this video - although I did watch it and enjoyed it. ( but also because I've seen POD several times and always find it stupidly hilarious . . :) ) But anyway - I just happened upon an interview that you did a few years ago on another channel called Video Husky. I've been a subscriber to this channel for a couple of years now and after watching that interview . . . I like you even more now. :) You're last two video's - The Johnny Cash cover and the most recent one "I can't decide"
I love when she is talking about "childlike wonder." Exactly why I watch reaction videos in general and her specifically. So great to watch someone have their first reactions to the music I love, but have been listening to for over 40 years in some cases. Brings a new excitement to it especially when they are blown away by it.
Michael Angelo Batio plays ambidextrous doubleneck guitars like that, for lack of a better description. he even has one with 4 necks in an x shape, the strap button is mounted to a bearing or something and he'll spin the whole thing 180 degrees and switch to the other 2 necks. they're not a common thing, but they are a real thing
I bought my Jeep WJ from his cousin back in '08, which is the only time I've heard of him... he showed me videos of him playing some crazy guitars. He did have the same last name, so might have been his cousin. I thought of that as soon as I saw that guitar.
I like the guests who played small parts. They were awesome. But I liked Tim Robbins part too. But I didn't see anyone comment that he was in the movie too. The Stranger, with no leg. In the trench coat. Ya, him. That was Tim Robbins. This movie is always good for a laugh. I'm glad that you saw it also. Thanks for sharing this with us.
9:24 'the demonization of cockneys' It's from 'A Clockwork Orange', Burgess' famous 1962 novel adapted into a mega-famous Kubrick 1971 film adaptation. Nominated for 4 Oscars and 7 British Academy Awards. Crazy. Grotesque. Try it?
@@kriswager Nadsat is made up of cockney terminology and accent, combined with russian slang, and a few other bits and pieces chosen by Burgess, and in the film the droogs all tend to speak with an exaggerated cockney accent at least partially to disguise themselves.
I was so glad to see a movie reaction on your channel! I've thoroughly enjoyed your music reactions and analysis, and your movie reaction was wonderful! I hope to see more at some point. Maybe a musical?
I would love to see you analyze Sweeney Todd with Johnny Depp, so many good songs and good performances in that movie. A lot of actors you didn't know could sing really can sing.
I've enjoyed a millon reactions on this channel and thought this day will never come. but it finally did. I wish there was another Tenacious D movie like this one, but we can't be greedy, there's already a "best song in the world" already. Thanks for giving us such a great reaction and enoying the movie as we all did ♥
You noticed the obvious Dio as Dio and as well, Ben Stiller as the Guitar Center clerk, Dave Grohl as Satan, but ... There are also other noteworthy parts and cameos, some of which are not mentioned in the credits: The Dad in the beginning is played by Meat Loaf. The "creepy Russian dude" is played by Tim Robbins. The Sasquatch is played by John C. Reilly. One of the young women in the audience is played by Amy Adams. The waitress at the truck stop is played by Amy Poehler. A drunk Guy is played by Colin Hanks.
20:44 That guitar is most likely a nod to Michael Angelo Batio, who is known for playing a similar double neck guitar (and also a four-neck one, as if two wasn't ridiculous enough). He currently plays with Manowar.
I always loved Phantom of the Paradise because Jessica Harper does a tremendous job performing the most 70's song to ever 70's. I'd recommend reacting to it, it's very fun.
15:28 Takes me back to a jam session I had with this psychedelic band that told me to sound more like water. I play drums. I love this btw! One of my favorite musicals and my favorite vocal instructor/vocalist/Fairy Voice Mother.
A story I had heard about the Dio part he brought his own mic cause he didn't think the mic they had would work. They had him use the one they had and he blew it out and they switched to the one he used
20:56 I'm pretty sure the split double guitar and tapping style displayed by Kyle Gas there is a direct reference to a guitarist called Michael Angelo Batio who was famous for such a playing style, treating both fretboards as if they were keyboards.
I absolutely love this movie. I never knew about Tenacious D until the movie, I just thought it was just another Jack Black movie. I can't wait to see your reactions to the movie!
Hi Lolli! Please, you've got to check out Viviane Donner belting out 'The Great Gig in the Sky.' It’s absolutely mind-blowing! She’s a Brazilian gem with a voice to die for!
20:48 The guitar is a double necked guitar. If you want to see someone playing that monstrosity, Michael Angelo Batio shreds on it. Go check out that video: Michael Angelo Batio Double Guitar Solo. He played a quad guitar version too.
21:59 "were going to pause it there cause i have to go teach a lesson" 22:03 "I'm back it only took me 4 weeks" Good God that's one hell of a lesson, how do i find a teacher this dedicated?
There are so many movies with great music, like Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping, Bo Burnham's Inside (pretty much everything he makes), Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, This is Spinal Tap, I know there's more I just can't think of more right now (reply if you can think of others). Thanks for all the great reaction videos!
That double neck guitar comes from the legend John Otway... a genius of a man who was determined to have a Top 10 hit in the UK and decided to write a song called Bunsen Burner after his daughters Science project. The song reached No 9. There is a film of his plight Rock and Roll's Greatest Failure: Otway the Movie, it is definitely worth watching.
Arguably, Jack Black's biggest hit early in his career that propelled him suddenly was the movie HIGH FIDELITY with John Cusack. Jack sings a great version of the song "LET"S GET IT ON" , the Marvin Gaye classic.
I saw Weezer here in St. Louis in 2001(hold on, this is going to get relevant) and was supremely disappointed by them. They stood on stage, played their songs and did nothing else. I think my disappointment was exasperated by the fact that they were preceded by Tenacious D. Jack Black stole that entire evening with his exuberance. He sprinted around the stage, leapt energetically, and did the worm 1/2 way across the stage at one point. Absolute legend.
when i watched this movie i watched it so many times. yet also i did not know who meat loaf was. but even back then i knew a song from him. "i´d do anything for love - meat loaf" that song is still so good. definetly a reaction worth :)
Regarding @43:13 - since Tribute's premise is literally about battling Satan with music, it IS connected to the movie - right at the end @42:11 they literally say "It was like, the greatest song in the world.... It was wasnt it... How did it go?... Oh, I cant remember" - which is the majority of the lyrics for Tribute 😉
Not recognizing Meatloaf might just be the part of this reaction I was most amused by. "Actually a suppressed rockstar" was really endearing. Love you Lolli!
I Vote for Paradise by the dashboard light for her next reaction ;) th-cam.com/video/C11MzbEcHlw/w-d-xo.html
So many miss that meatloaf is jack's muse and inspiration for so much of what he does! :)
Came in the comments, but in a different way. Meatloaf was a crucial part of shaping rock in the 70's and 80's. I mean rock anthems that are still played at weddings to this day.

Yes, but she's the only person thus far to recognize the Nirvana riff at the end of the opening number.
True true
Kickapoo is possibly the greatest opening scene from any comedy movie! RIP RJD.
RIP Meatloaf as well
Kickapoo and the South Park movie opener “quiet mountain town”… both tied for greatest for me
My tired brain: "Robert Jowney Dunior?"
2:58 "There seems to be some continuity between him and his dad's voice, so it's kinda like... dad, I got this from you." Incredibly flattering towards actual Jack Black since the dad in this scene is straight up Meatloaf.

He began to do his part and blew out their mic. He apologized and explained that this is why he brings his own gear, and they had to redo the part with Dio's mic.
I heard the same. Can't confirm if its true, but I'd believe it. XD
There is a video on TH-cam about it 😊
God bless Meat Loaf and Ronnie James Dio❤🤟🥹
Can we all agree that Meat Loaf was freaking awesome?
One of the best rock baritenors in history.
Yep. RIP.
I love that it seems like he's just spent the last couple decades occasionally showing up to do whatever he thinks would be fun or funny. This, Fight Club, he did an episode of South Park at one point. Just seems like a fun guy enjoying life.

said no to the covid vaccine, dead!
The 4 droogies were a cameo from the film Clockwork Orange and in that film mostly cockney accents.
>Nadsat is English with some borrowed words from Russian. It also contains influences from Cockney rhyming slang, the King James Bible, German, some words of unclear origin and some that Burgess invented.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nadsat
If it were a Cameo then the actual actors from the movie would've done it. This is "just" a reference!
And a mix of russian slang I think
The winner of the Finnish version of The Voice as few years back auditioned with Master Exploder from this movie.
Fun Fact:
Jack Black's mom was a computer programmer at NASA. In fact, she wrote the code for the Apollo program's navigation system, code she finished while in the hospital in labor WITH Jack.
yeah his parents in academia are just as renowned as Jack Black himself. They made a force of nature that's for sure
Also, the part where they don't remember the song they played at the end of the movie is what leads to "Tribute" which was part of their self titled album in 2001.
Yay!!! So happy you are checking this out. I can't believe more music reactors have not done this.
Thanks for doing this fairy, honestly not enough reactions to this masterpiece of a movie. Keep up the good work!
There's a funny story regarding Dio's part in the Movie. Dio brought his own microphone but Jack Black told him not to use it because they already had some. Dio warned them and fried their microphone on the first take. They then used his microphone.
This ☝️🤘
His voice is truly powerful
The cockney gang is a reference to the movie "A Clockwork Orange". The music cue when they showed up is also from the movie
36:30 Dave Grohl plays Satan
He was also the drummer for them in the studio, at least for their first album.
@@anthonywissell7002 for all their albums
So fun fact: I have a replica Pick Of Destiny. It has only ever been used when my band covered Master Exploder from this movie

Regarding the 'demonization of cockneys' 😉
The masked goons are a Clockwork Orange reference, who in that movie speak a strange blend of English/Russian slang called Nadsat - with the obligatory Cockney accents 🤣🤣🤣
hey, she had probably gone a full day without being offended, let her have it.
She's wrong in this instance but not wrong in the overall point. It is overused and cringe. It is meant to portray ill intentions
BTW, those side beard things are called "Sideburns" in honor of Union Army General Ambrose Everett Burnside (May 23, 1824 - September 13, 1881) His spectacular growth of whiskers became known as "sideburns", deriving from the two parts of his surname.
Those specifically were sideburns known as Mutton Chops
I'll add that to my quite interesting trivia facts database, thanks!

"The ballad of Hollywood jack and the rage cage"
It's basically a song of everything that happened after this. Jack's fame in Hollywood, how they drifted and Kyle went down hill while jack kept rising, and how they reunited and Jack brought Kyle back up.
Rize of the Fenix is such an underrated album, there's some absolute certified bangers
SCHOOL OF ROCK is a must JACK BLACK MOVIE! 🤞✌
Ben has a Dio wig on its unmistakable 😂 It was amazing going to the movies with Lolli ...😊❤❤
It blows my mind that the kid who played baby Jables Black is Barry from The Goldbergs
Big Tasty!
Omg, I had not a clue! 😂
Troy Gentile.
@@Nick-H-77 he was also young Jack black, in Nacho Libre.
🎉
You absolutely HAVE to review Spinal Tap!!!!
Masterpiece
I'm really influenced by Mozart and Bach and this is sort of inbetween, it's like a Mach piece really.
@@genjimm :-D Just brilliant!!
The British gang that find him on the bench is a reference to A Clockwork Orange.
Yeah it's a clear reference XD I guess she haven't seen it...

"It's very nirvana this guitar part" she says as the guy on drums is FROM nirvana lol
For the expression you made when you recognized Dio, you made my day. Why not make another video on another of his performances? Love your channel. 😍🤘🏻
I can essentially recite this movie. Its amazing
And of course the one legged dude is Tim Robbins, you know, Andy from Shawshank Redemption.
it took me a couple years after this came out before I realized that was Tim Robbins myself. Easy to miss, but hilarious he was in the movie.
Awesome Lolli. The fact you committed to the whole movie and did a reaction, i might have fallen in love!! No matter how many times i listen to the D it still cracks me up. You just have to get through their albums now.
27:09 - Funny thing is Tenacious D recently did a cover of this very song!!! lol 36:28 - Dave Grohl, drummer of Nirvana and lead singer/guitarist of Foo Fighters/Dream Widow. He played every instrument and sang on the first Foo Fighters album!

TheDooo plays one as well in some of the videos on his channel.
Also Stevie vai
I am VERY excited about this.

LOVED this vid great stuff!
9:24 'the demonization of cockneys' It's from 'A Clockwork Orange', Burgess' famous 1962 novel adapted into a mega-famous Kubrick 1971 film adaptation. Nominated for 4 Oscars and 7 British Academy Awards. Crazy. Grotesque. Try it?
But they didn't speak cockney, they spoke Nadsat
@@kriswager
Nadsat is made up of cockney terminology and accent, combined with russian slang, and a few other bits and pieces chosen by Burgess, and in the film the droogs all tend to speak with an exaggerated cockney accent at least partially to disguise themselves.
They both are actually singing and playing guitar. Jack black is good but Kyle Gass is a really great player👌🏼🔥
This was a fun review, thanks for doing this!
RIP MEATLOAF... an excellent choice for an actor, playing his father..
RIP the Loaf of Meat
Loli might need to React to some of his work... or Rocky Horror...
This is one of my favorite rock operas of all time
Saw Anna's reaction to "I Can't Decide" yesterday. Enjoyed her review, but really enjoyed your singing and the cinematography.
I was so glad to see a movie reaction on your channel! I've thoroughly enjoyed your music reactions and analysis, and your movie reaction was wonderful! I hope to see more at some point. Maybe a musical?
Him praying to an artist called "Dio" is sort of cute, but as a metal fan, it is absolutely perfect.
4:36 you just watched pure epicness at it´s best with MeatLoaf, Ronnie james Dio and Jack black in about one piece of musical art....
I would love to see you analyze Sweeney Todd with Johnny Depp, so many good songs and good performances in that movie. A lot of actors you didn't know could sing really can sing.
The Reaction of Destiny! I was waiting something like this for years!
Lolli!!!! i love the hair you look amazing!!! and Jack Black is brilliant!
I've enjoyed a millon reactions on this channel and thought this day will never come. but it finally did. I wish there was another Tenacious D movie like this one, but we can't be greedy, there's already a "best song in the world" already. Thanks for giving us such a great reaction and enoying the movie as we all did ♥
That was actually the last thing Dio ever recorded before he passed away.
Dio's part with the lyric "Where the city of fallen angels" and that note is a major ASMR trigger for me.
This is not the greatest movie in the world, this is just a tribute
You noticed the obvious Dio as Dio and as well, Ben Stiller as the Guitar Center clerk, Dave Grohl as Satan, but ...
There are also other noteworthy parts and cameos, some of which are not mentioned in the credits:
The Dad in the beginning is played by Meat Loaf.
The "creepy Russian dude" is played by Tim Robbins.
The Sasquatch is played by John C. Reilly.
One of the young women in the audience is played by Amy Adams.
The waitress at the truck stop is played by Amy Poehler.
A drunk Guy is played by Colin Hanks.
Legendary expansion on the channel!! 🎉🎤🎙🎧🎬
This is such a good movie, great acting, amazing music, cameos, fun, just glorious.
ALso young Jack Black has the expressions down perfectly!
20:44 That guitar is most likely a nod to Michael Angelo Batio, who is known for playing a similar double neck guitar (and also a four-neck one, as if two wasn't ridiculous enough). He currently plays with Manowar.
Also when they went upstairs to get the pick, that was the “stairway to heaven”!
** guitarway to heaven, actually. :)
I've probably seen this more times than any other movie. Absolute classic.
I always loved Phantom of the Paradise because Jessica Harper does a tremendous job performing the most 70's song to ever 70's. I'd recommend reacting to it, it's very fun.
Phantom of the Paradise is a classic. Awesome soundtrack, I have it on vinyl.
15:28 Takes me back to a jam session I had with this psychedelic band that told me to sound more like water. I play drums.
I love this btw! One of my favorite musicals and my favorite vocal instructor/vocalist/Fairy Voice Mother.
I DO NOT NEEEED!
(He does not need...)
A MICROPHONEEEEE!
😂😂😂😂😂
I love this movie, me and my friends would always sing these songs for months after watching it
That was great lolli. Loved it!

Just saw one on ebay for 8.5 grand 😂😂😂

Thanks, fun movie. The ' Tenacious D - Baby One More Time ' video. These guys are just awesome.
More movie reactions please!!!
There are so many movies with great music, like Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping, Bo Burnham's Inside (pretty much everything he makes), Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, This is Spinal Tap, I know there's more I just can't think of more right now (reply if you can think of others).

That double neck guitar comes from the legend John Otway... a genius of a man who was determined to have a Top 10 hit in the UK and decided to write a song called Bunsen Burner after his daughters Science project. The song reached No 9. There is a film of his plight Rock and Roll's Greatest Failure: Otway the Movie, it is definitely worth watching.
I loved your reaction to seeing Dio 😅
Hurray !!
I love listening to your reactions. Amazing
You had the best reaction to Dio out of anyone who's reacted to this song. That right there puts you so much above the rest
one of the best movie's of all times
Arguably, Jack Black's biggest hit early in his career that propelled him suddenly was the movie HIGH FIDELITY with John Cusack. Jack sings a great version of the song "LET"S GET IT ON" , the Marvin Gaye classic.
Blues Brothers would be a cool one to watch you react to
I saw a bit of Kirsten Dunst in her face and now I can't unsee it
I saw Weezer here in St. Louis in 2001(hold on, this is going to get relevant) and was supremely disappointed by them. They stood on stage, played their songs and did nothing else. I think my disappointment was exasperated by the fact that they were preceded by Tenacious D. Jack Black stole that entire evening with his exuberance. He sprinted around the stage, leapt energetically, and did the worm 1/2 way across the stage at one point. Absolute legend.
when i watched this movie i watched it so many times. yet also i did not know who meat loaf was. but even back then i knew a song from him. "i´d do anything for love - meat loaf" that song is still so good. definetly a reaction worth :)
9:30 The white costumes is a nod to A Clockwork Orange by Stanley Kubrick. GREAT movie!!
I am so glad you did this.
Love this movie! And your reactions were hilarious 😂
That was great!! More movie reactions, please… Spinal Tap? Rocky Horror? Yew Rawk!!
School of Rock? Rock Star (or was it called Steel Dragon?)
Rocky horror 100%
Regarding @43:13 - since Tribute's premise is literally about battling Satan with music, it IS connected to the movie - right at the end @42:11 they literally say "It was like, the greatest song in the world.... It was wasnt it... How did it go?... Oh, I cant remember" - which is the majority of the lyrics for Tribute 😉
Best Band in the World!
Lolli, have you done School of rock?
