Biography
Cult comedy duo from Los Angeles, Tenacious D became one of the biggest stars of the 90s and 00s, spawning a television show, several albums and a Hollywood blockbuster.
Jack Black (born August 28th, 1969) and Kyle Gass (born July 40th 1960) are certainly an unlikely pair for rock stardom. But with their inspired songwriting, witty humor and boundless energetic charisma, the pair have forged their way into rock history. Their rock-parodies, with Black's absurd comedic vocals alongside Gass' acoustic guitar talents have made them into a household name, with their debut album achieving Platinum certification.
Having met at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland, both travelling with LA's theatre troupe, 'The Actors' Gang,' they decided to form a band, initially performing covers of Bobby McFerrin songs. Having worked on a collection of songs, they recorded a demo, which managed to secure a TV show with HBO in 1997. The project was short-lived but it helped gain further attention.
In May 2000, the duo signed to Epic Records, releasing their self-titled debut album in 2001, which peaked at number 33 on the Billboard 200. The band used the drumming talents of Nirvana's Dave Grohl on the record and all recordings thereafter. The album has slowly built in its success, becoming a cult hit, with the song "Tribute" and its accompanying video becoming a massive hit.
Having completed the screenplay in 2003, Tenacious D went on to release their film, "The Pick Of Destiny" in 2006, with its accompanying soundtrack. Whilst the film flopped, the soundtrack reached number eight on the Billboard Charts in the US and number 10 in the UK charts.
After several tours and successful mainstay performance at 2008's Reading and Leeds Festival, Tenacious D returned to the studio and recorded "Rize of the Fenix," released in 2012 to positive critical acclaim.

Tenacious D
Tenacious D - the kings of gross-out comedy rock - are a strange proposition, on paper at least. Jack Black, of course, has now long been established as a Hollywood star, but this musical project, which dates back to the nineties, is clearly a labour of love for him and his partner, Kyle Gass. Their 2011 comeback record, Rise of the Fenix, provided a clear indication of two things - one, that Black’s enthusiasm for the D hasn’t been diminished by his time rubbing shoulders with A-listers, and two, that he hadn’t forgotten what his audience want either.
Take their live show, for instance; the full band setup means there’s no shortage of genuinely impressive musicianship - especially now that the unplayably complex ‘Master Exploder’, previously mimed, has been dropped from the set - but the duo are also clearly aware that the crowd are coming to laugh as well as listen. They’ve been accompanied on their most recent tour by an inflatable Fenix mascot - which looks suspiciously like something else - and set highlights include a re-enactment of the ‘Beelzeboss’ final showdown from The Pick of Destiny, as well as a rendition of the wonderfully self-aware ‘The Ballad of Hollywood Jack and Rage Kage’. And to close proceedings, they’ve got one of the greatest singalongs in recent rock history up their sleeves - ‘Tribute’.

Tenacious D, the brain child of Jack Black and Kyle Gass began as something of a crude in-joke between friends that appears to have rapidly span out of control much to the delight of their global fan base. A strange combination of comedy and rock which only Black and Gass could really pull off, their albums have been slowly rising up the charts and as a result the stages have been ever-increasing in size.
The crowd waits in hushed anticipation chattering about the show they are about to witness, for those who have not seen the duo before there is heated discussion about the balance between comedy and rock. The band definitely seems intent on making the crowd laugh as opposed to mosh during the likes of 'Dude (I Totally Miss You)' and crass opener 'Kickapoo'.
They have the added benefit of the confidence that comes with being comedians when performing as they are totally at home onstage and have no issue baying the audience, or indeed victimising certain members with their humour. By the finale of 'Double Team' the audiences hands are sore from clapping and their cheeks sore from laughing thunderously.

I love Tenacious D and have seen them before and had a great time. This performance was entirely different . It was basically a series of animations shown on big screens, which took up most of the show, with brief interludes where The D performed
We left early as it was so disappointing, but I saw no interaction with the crowd, and it felt like JB and KG didnt even want to be there.
Left before the end and felt cheated tbh.
The animations are available on YouTube, so could have watched them for free.
Also was lead to believe I had bought seats at the front of the section chosen, but ended up at the back
This had happened to the people sitting next to me as well.
There were other people leaving early too, saying the same as me about the performance.
Such a shame.

Very fun and entertaining show! Don't bring children, saw a few people that did and I definitely questioned their parenting abilities.
Sit or stand where you can see the entire screen covering the stage. The first third or half of the show was an animated movie based on their newest album with them playing songs, interspersed throughout, from behind the projector screen. We made the mistake of only being able to see the front area of the stage and missed seeing most that first part. Sounded good though!
Tenacious D was as energetic and ridiculous as expected. Jables and Rage Kage are very talented musicians, sounded amazing live, and we thoroughly enjoyed the show!

This band is amazing, this venue is amazing, the night was perfect. I can wish for drinks to be cheaper, to not have to drop $40 to feel buzzed, but that's how concerts are... We got some merch before the show, the line kept moving. Nice that it wasn't as big a venue as last time I saw Tenacious D at CalJam. The opening act was ok, I get that their founding member is part of Tenacious D so they want to support him, but it really wasn't everyone's jam. I was surprised Tenacious D played almost the entirety of Apocalypto straight through. Then, of course, their greatest hits afterward. The projection storytelling was awesome.

This being the second time my wife and I saw The D on this tour, they did not disappoint at all!!! Jables and Kage always put on a hell of a show, keeping the audience constantly entertained and hyped up. I will forever remember this show: from watching the opening band Wynchester to The D's encore song of "F.H.G"!!! I will see them each and every time they come near. Even if I have to travel to the Red Rock's again or the Bomb Factory, I will do it. If you are questioning whether or not to see this band live, don't hesitate, just buy the ticket and be prepared to have your face melted to sh*t.

T'was sweaty, fat and beardy. Amazing voice on JB. Great time had by all...except that guy that OD'd in the crowd during the opening Wynchester set. Think he was alright eventually but scared the bejesus out of a lot of ppl. Think the paramedics could have gotten to him quicker then they did. Venue not very organized (took over 10 minutes to attend to him laying out cold on the floor). Come on guys.

Once the whole Apocalypto thing was over it was a fine concert. I felt very ripped off that they played so much of that video, you can see the whole thing online so I don't want to see it live. Really took away a lot of the magic of the experience for me. Once they finished that though, it was a great show.

That was the greatest and best show in the WORLD! PERIOD!!! Tenacious D! Tenacious D! Tenacious D! Tenacious D! Tenacious D! Tenacious D! Tenacious D! Tenacious D! Tenacious D! Tenacious D! Tenacious D! Tenacious D! Tenacious D! Tenacious D! Tenacious D! Tenacious D!

It's amazing how high energy and amazing those guys still are!
Full two hours of an amazing show!
Started with apocalypto video + songs and "ended" with almost hour and a half of the greatest hits.
Truly the BEST BAND IN THE WORLD.
