• Tenacious D - Ballad o...

[@WickedSpade]

Literally.. about to cry for Kyle. He deserves everything Jack does and it makes me like Jack more that he has stuck by him for so long. These two are legends.

[@BrianDonaldson6352]

I agree 100%. First time I saw this, I did cry. Definitely can feel the emotion. Greatest band in the history of the world… the best there ever was or will be!

[@brianm2881]

Love Kyle in Tenacious D, but even Kyle has admitted that Jack is a force of nature. He was always going to be a star whereas Kyle's role was more as a supporting guy and character actor. You need both kinds to make it all work.

[@Flunkadunk4369]

Well said. Period

[@garconvoute3024]

To have been Jack, to have been Rage

[@kstonurai9350]

Rage Kage is the perfect sidekick

[@NoddyNuff]

Unironically the most beautiful song the D has written. Pure friendship.

[@averagegatsby]

Kyle Gas does not get enough credit for being a really good guitar player.

[@MarcoPo7o]

One day, they will make a Tribute about it, because they have forgotten the actual song.

[@mrbensvoicebox]

JB's vocal control is laser precise, it's beautiful. Kyle's whistle is haunting and harrowing. These two, as highly rated as they be, are still highly underrated.

[@Merc_0158E7]

Yeah, I saw a live version of them doing "More than Words" and the crowd was laughing when they'd harmonize. Almost as though the crowd expected them to botch it but when they did it better it was funny... sorta like weezer doin Africa. I laughed because i expected him to make fun but they improved it technically. Cracked me up! This one wasn't intended to be funny, it's more of a tragedy yet people still laugh. This one may prove out, over time, to be TD's defining song. It's their roots.

[@mrbensvoicebox]

@@Merc_0158E7 word

[@ZZerkZZerk]

He is being rated fairly lately, maybe 10 years ago when the D first released the movie... Jack and Kyle both droppin bangers, with Britney Spears songs, Mario, and many other movies directly from Jack, but Kyle is usually there also involved with instruments. Their success is being properly recognized.

[@bradw3869]

This is a masterpiece, almost better than the album version.

[@kevinsalazar6744]

Million times better than the album version

[@deimos84SK]

It's one of the few bands, whose live versions are better almost every time.

[@mtb3242]

I wish is could find this version in downloadable format.

[@WavesofJava]

what about simon and garfunkel?

[@cleelub]

the whistling while playing those chords...pure perfection..goosebumps everytime

[@HIGHapple5615]

Couldn’t agree more!

[@ApfelJohannisbeere]

As soon as that whistling begun I had goosebumps!

[@shoe_gaze]

@@HIGHapple5615 cmon apple u got a little more juice in u. agree some more!!!

[@ChristianKermath]

This is what Tribute was about. This is the greatest song in the world

[@stanknugget]

You’re wrong. It’s about Stairway to Heaven.

[@bryn_hh]

@@stanknugget In the D timeline, it's actually about Beelzeboss, as self-titled and POD albums tell the same story, but POD is present-tense and self-titled is re-telling it and reflecting back. After defeating the devil, they can't remember what they played, so they wrote Tribute instead and wrote self-titled after using the Bong Of Destiny. Then Fenix is the partially fictional, partially real (Ballad of Hollywood Jack, Rise, 39) sequel.

[@uninconformemas]

Epic comment.

[@stanknugget]

@@bryn_hh You’re wrong. Obviously, you haven’t watched their HBO show, which predates the movie by YEARS.

[@Jar3d_YT]

​@@stanknugget JB said it was inspired by One - Metallica

[@erikkosir5870]

Honestly Jack’s voice is in the same rank as some of the best vocalist that where. Yes, he singing and his stage presence looks funny but all in all voice of an angel and roar of a lion!

[@Monstahpanda]

Only a few artists are as good as those 2 live - watched them in germany when they played before metallica on the crowd isle that was actually reserved for metallica… people later left and forgot that metallica played at all 😏

[@Tyler_Dahlin]

Well his voice is fucking powerful

[@paparoo9924]

​@@Tyler_Dahlin he does not need a microphone

[@n3uro42]

I think it is for the same reason Danny Kaye is never thought of as a dancer. Yes he is very, very good but because he is a comedic actor it doesn't get the same respect.

[@Sarahsewsarose]

He's talented.

[@facelessce]

I’ve said it once before and I’ll say it again “the best music duo in history”

[@joopdevliegers]

art & garfunkel can suck it.

[@hamburgerdog25]

They defeated the devil with their music. They are the greatest duo of all time

[@KostasKarageorgiou]

Came for the laughter, stayed for tears.

[@rhapsodyinglue8758]

Yeah wtf right?

[@LLM1987]

How can Jack make a troubled situation so harmonious, I feel for them. And admire their friendship. Much love.

[@Rickles]

Tenacious D did what most guys struggle with and turned vulnerability into strength. We don't deserve them.

[@dakineprotoss]

the mushrooms level out the plane

[@JesseOsher]

People are fooled thinking these guys are a “comedy band”…NOPE they are 💯 LEGIT talent. Incredible harmony, KG is one of the greatest acoustic guitar players of all time. Yes I said it. Prove me wrong

[@us420vrgamers]

💯

[@joshuabaker1288]

Awesome LYRICS

[@NamesRango]

Said very well, legendary band

[@michalfromhikingisgood3705]

Amen

[@BrettlyCS]

That whistle!

[@strangefruit42]

One of my very favorite songs. The honesty about their darkest hour combined with this fantastic musicianship is one of the reasons, why I love these guys sooo much.

[@myjizzureye]

Talent like this requires years of hard work. These guys deserve everything and more.

[@stanknugget]

Everything? Even pain and suffering?

[@myjizzureye]

@Stank Nugget Well, I can tell you this, the way your father toys with my heart causes me pain and suffering.

[@stanknugget]

@@myjizzureye My father has been nothing but a gentleman to you, you devil worshipper.

geez i love hearing the d in acoustic versions

[@nickgvaccaro]

THE LION WILL ROAR ONCE AGAIN. I hope that this song someday becomes as well known as it deserves to be.

[@kerwynwilliams]

With or without the comedic elements these guys are musically genius. Such a masterful display of creative confidence & lyrical freedom… *and Jack is one of the best vocalists that any genre has ever seen.*

[@OfentseMwaseFilms]

They are unique. There's no band like them.

[@desmondvanecko2343]

Bro this is my favorite tenacious d song I’m so glad they played it live again

[@bizona.3387]

I think this live version is even better than the original recording. Jack's vocal range is insane

[@gb7629]

This song hits differently when performed by these weathered distinguished looking gentlemen. The song ages like a fine wine does, but instead of time making it better, its each and every additional pound, each and every grey hair, and each and every renewal of their reading glasses. You guys are awesome.

[@OfentseMwaseFilms]

Please come to South Africa Tenacious D! Please

[@blasphemy1019]

Literally the most underrated pair of musicians so good

[@ba55bar]

eh? The D are massively rated

[@OllBetsy]

[@braydancoe3390]

when the rage whistles i cried soo hard. waaaaa

[@braydancoe3390]

shame on you hollywood jack

[@TomicaCZ]

Is it just me or is this live performance better than the studio version? :D JB's voice is getting better and better! Only thing I'm missing is the flute solo, but KG would need 4 hands for that I guess. But he nailed it with the whistling like a cham! F***ing briliant!

[@el_chief_dannyboy]

I dig how they always use acoustic guitars. They always sound warm, crisp, and clean.

[@stogiewankenobie9537]

The word "tenacious" is not for naught n the name of this band. Dear Rage Kage, we love you. Please rage as much as necessary, but not too much. Without your rage we wouldn't know and appreciate and love you. You are marvellous.

[@pairashootpants5373]

I really love the chord progression in this song, it gets stuck in my head everytime!

[@sarutan8san]

"nothing and no one could harm the old rage cage again" made me cry, I've never heard such comforting statement ever. its definitely comforting to cage.

[@kj3937]

Imma tell my kids this was the greatest band of all time

[@joshwhorley8148]

No. They are only a tribute

[@Glowstick48]

It makes me immensely happy to See Kyle and the D getting the recognition they deserve he’s been their all along aside his best friend but had severely been overlooked he’s had a few rolls here and their like Shallow Hal as supporting characters but I’m happy that Tenacious D is slowly becoming a household name

[@paulthompkins4150]

Can we all just take a moment and salute Jack Black as one of the greatest voices of this or any other generation. There's not an octave or note he can't hit.

[@Wackoart1995]
