Tenacious D 'The Pick of Destiny' album

theD: Jack Black n Kyle Gass make up the Greatest Band in History Tenacious D. They started playing together in Kyle's studio apt on Cochran Ave in Los Angeles. No one could have ever dreamed of where their genius would take them but take them it did...Tenacious D played their first gig at Al's bar in downtown LA in 94; they were armed with only one song at the time. "Tribute" a tribute to the greatest song in the world that when once played...
theD: the small crowds brains collectively exploded!
theD: who are these two guys?
theD: why are they so....
theD: so...
Dciple: so..
theD: well you fill in the adjective...
theD: but at that very first show there was a PECULIAR looking fellow one David Cross
theD: who said he enjoyed our little fandango and invited us to play a comedy show with him n some friends in Hwood
Dciple: and that would be

theD: the Diamond Club
theD: doing a series of shows with Host Laura Milligan and such guest stars as Ben Stiller and Jeaneane Garafalo to name but a few
Dciple: just a few
Dciple: of course
theD: our little posse began what was to termed for better or worse the "alternative" comedy movement
theD: but The D was more...
theD: much more
theD: The D began to headline Comedy Night first at Pedros
Dciple: then
theD: and then when it moved to Largo
theD: but whenever the D performed, people knew they were witnessing something special
theD: it was hard to describe...
Dciple: but please do...
theD: "What is it....these two guys...
theD: playin acoustic guitars
theD: yet rockin harder
theD: than bands with thrice the volume?
theD: hold on
Dciple: thrice volume...
theD: so hard
theD: Why was a live D show so compelling, the people asked, so entertaining so mind blowing so...so..so Rocking?
theD: It was alm
Dciple: alm?
theD: sorry It was almost impossible for people to explain the next day to their friends or co workers
Dciple: i cant imagine the conversation by the water cooler!
theD: was it this wild lead singer with pipes of platinum?
Dciple: or
theD: or was it the heavy set bald fellow churning out riffs of pure profundity?
theD: or was it some synergy created by these too unlikely rock gods that really couldn't be explained but had to
theD: be experienced LIVE and in person. Yes that is what it was!
theD: who knew that because Jack n Kyle were such uncompromising artists it would be years before they would submit to releasing their songs
theD: yeah yeah are you taking all this down?
Dciple: i am!
Dciple: keep rolling
theD: soon
theD: Bob Odenkirk n David Cross would want to exploit the D for their own devices
Dciple: an evil plot?
theD: and take the D's natural magic, try n bottle it and put it on the small screen on pay cable
theD: what was created ignited the nation
Dciple: into flames?
theD: anyone who was witness to the original HBO TV show was treated to nothing less than an entertainment revolution
theD: Jack Black and Kyle Gass have arrived
theD: to change the way we listen to sound
theD: to change the way we thought
Dciple: think?
theD: to change the way we might eat a delicious meal
Dciple: indeed
theD: but integrity came first as it always does with the D
theD: and all parties had to part ways
theD: the show that replaced the D? oh I don't know if you've heard of a little show called
theD: THE SOPRANOS!
Dciple: hmmm...the 3 tenors?
theD: well Jack n Kyle had something to prove now
Dciple: and
theD: so they staged a bidding war
theD: signed with Epic Records
theD: made a record with some wickedly talented dudes
theD: Dave Grohl, Page from Phish, Warren from the Vandals, Steve from Redd Kross and the Dust Bros. in the production seat
Dciple: due Sept. 25th.......
theD: then Spumco, the creators of Ren & Stimpy, made a rockin' animated music video for their favorite love song
Dciple: a silly love song?
