Tenacious D is underrated. A lot of folks just think of them as funny and miss just how skilled they are.

[@To-mos]

It's almost like they are holding back their awesome just to be goofballs, take that governor off and who knows what they can become.

[@ImDembe]

@@To-mos Black have said if they had to be serious Tenacious D wouldent exist. They aren't intrested in making to much serious music at the end of the day.

[@JeremyOuelletteNH]

funny with the skillz, and hardcore to boot! woooords

[@insertgenericusernamehere2402]

I mean look at jack blacks guitar skills in this video.... Incredible

[@mathieuplante2047]

They are such talented young artists, I love them! 💖

[@pauljacobs6038]

Kyle Gass is such an incredible guitarist who so many have never had the joy of hearing.

[@hraefn1821]

You are not alone. Everyone is screaming for a full version. Maybe Jack is testing to waters to see if people would be down for an entire serious cover album. I know I am.

[@xrecec]

I mean I would be down for anything from them

[@MyfriendAlisha]

I'd cut my arm off for a full cover album 🥰 I love them so much

[@majorzipf8947]

I would buy and album for the first time in 20 years

[@christopherrseay3148]

screw a cover album, i’d love to see a full non-comedic album! i love the comedic stuff too, i just feel they could easily do both as tenacious d is so talented

[@gfimadcat]

I'd give my left arm for a full cover album by the D.

[@charlierussell6577]

Lets not overlook that the guitar itself has such a wonderful tone.

[@stephaniecasey8557]

Although this is a more serious take on a song by TD, the enunciation of the “witchoo” keeps the comedic element present. Genius!

[@aimee-made]

I agree. It was definitely a CHOICE. And it puts kind of a wink 😉on this otherwise rather dramatic song. I loved it.

[@NAEH2]

Also says Thang instead of thing.

[@ZenWithKen]

They play because the love music and that's what makes them so fun to watch.

[@dougrussell1926]

The official music video has been clinically proven to make the planet .005% moister every time it is viewed. That explains rising sea levels.

[@Prince_humperdink]

Facts

[@Cherokeelion]

@@Prince_humperdinkstone cold fact

[@scobbiebhoy]

The guitar is such a mood setter!

[@Kauritree08]

In this song, he has a kind of weathered storytelling voice. Slightly reminiscent of Johnny Cash singing Hurt. I think that comes from his being an actor. He puts some city miles on the song as if he's lived a lot of life. Great version.

[@PK--ITA]

Tenacious D & Jack Black deserve a Grammy, an Oscar and a Nobel in Music if they exist (if they don't then they need to be established). What needs to be added. Unless I recommend you their other songs, Kickapoo, Tribute, Classico, etc.

[@ribsi85]

pretty hard not to love this. Beautiful.

[@mournblade1066]

Part of what makes the original by Chris Isaak is that haunting guitar part that is sadly missing in every cover I've ever heard.

[@TJMiton]

Tenacious D is so much more that a silly comedy duo. This cover by them is amazing and that beach video is life!

[@Meenie66]

I love this so much It just kills me that this isn't the full song. It's so beautifully performed.

[@michaelschmidt7980]

KG and JB are such a great duo... I just love their music, they are funny, skilled and just all around great guys!

[@stevef3827]

Tenacious D is so fun, but also talented. Love your reactions, great job! Dio and Geoff Tate are def worth continuing to explore. Not sure if hard rock/metal is your thing but 80s was a treasure trove of talent, despite all the theatrics.

[@danellabarnes-penman1118]

Sometimes, I don’t even hear the music because I’m watching you process and enjoy the performance. And the fact you find ways to integrate hard core rock with the likes of Leah Solonga on your channel for review makes me smile… even though I can no longer appreciate hard rock. I just wait for days like today! Thanks!

[@vomitingconfetti7187]

Jack Black has really good vocals here.

[@maggiepanning356]

I just cannot get enough of this song and I loved hearing your take on it. The guitar is so beautiful and Jack Black’s singing is just absolutely gorgeous.

[@paxi3391]

Loved how well you stretched this one out.🙂 200k, congratulations lady well done! 👍Party!!🥳🍻🍾

[@Mainecracka]

Saw them open for Weezer years ago. KG is an amazing guitarist. And Jack gives it his all

[@samhell2492]

If you want to see just how good he is just watch him sing War Pigs on some late night tv show. Even though he adds in his usual playfulness it's still one of the best vocal covers I've heard. And it gets cut to a commercial. Another FULL VERSION NEEDED song. I suggest this because there is not a truly great cover of that song

[@TheBabybaloogawhale]

T-Pain baby

[@markwilkinson2668]

Jack is one of the worlds most talented singers. He invokes character and emotion like no other.

[@jeff-nv6vq]

I love how he jack blacks the word do and widjyu

[@GeekyBJ]

Tenacious D is so amazing. Kyle on the Guitar… and Jack Blacks amazing vocals. They’re so good.

[@ultimaIXultima]

Jack black is a god. He's just "one of those dudes" you wanna hug. Just ask ozzieman!

[@tom7471]

I always enjoy your breakdowns! Well done, as usual.

[@ziggy291]

please please please do Wonder Boy! i would sing it to my sons when they were little.

[@chetmagg2055]

I had no idea that was Jack Black till you said his name . Black is the kind of actor I never know where to take him serious or not, but here, that was serious.

[@zombietoycollector4597]

As she grits her teeth, she fell in love with Jack Black. Hard.

[@Tronderose]

Kyle's fingers be silver, Jack's voice then be gold🎵

[@aj_lfod]

Love me some Tenacious D! Would love to see a reaction to Coheed and Cambrian’s “Welcome Home”. 🤞🏼

[@terrancesweetman3298]

He so good

[@pranavbhatnagar04]

Truth was spoken at the end “No body loves no one".

[@joesikorski4080]

They are seriously so goddamn good

[@jorgeundurraga2613]

Nice as always😊, congrats on your 200k.

[@johnohrstrom5112]

The only thing that sucks about this it's only 1/3 of the song. I could listen to this on repeat... D needs to do a full blown album of covers!!!

[@beaudwayful]

Agree. I have listened to this so many times....

[@MikeBurkard]

I want to hear the entire song!!! Come on! Such a great song... love the original... Chris Isaak is an icon!

[@fortunated_5764]

Long live The D!!!!!

[@13FloorsDown]

You should try and give their song Dude I Totally Miss You a listen next time, that song is SO good (as well as all their other songs).

[@geraldholden8092]

This is just a testimont to their dynamic musical abilities. These silly guys just performed a powerful, yet emotional, cover of a classic

[@bigtrouble4447]

ty............. i dont know what it is or how you do it...... but you recognize such intricacies... i probably spelled that wrong but... its amazing.. and ty... and its a pleasure .. ty.. .. peace... ✌🙂

[@pairofpints]

Great band. Love Jack's voice.

[@the_strop_7945]

They are undervalued as musicians.

[@KohlartheUnkilled]

Tenacious D is evolving, (HAS evolved, actually), and yet most people listen to them with an almost greedy expectation of some humorous element to come through and make them laugh... Try just listening, and quit expecting them to be funny all the time. Try just appreciating the musical greatness that so many take for granted.

What I love about their guitars is that they're very basic guitars, the most vanilla shape of western guitar that every teen starts out on, not even cutaway, and they're showing people that you can write and sing and perform and rock out and have success even if you don't have the latest Fender electric and no matter how you look. I'm new, love your reactions 😊

[@4nki]

Even though I do not really know what a vocalist does I found your videos quite interesting. :) I always loved JBs voice and have already visited 3 different Tenacious D concerts. While I'm writing this, there's another band I'd like to recommend to you. "Runrig" a scottish folk rock band. Some popular songs and my favourites are "Every River" (Rarities - Best Of Deluxe), "The Greatest Flame" (Amazing Things) and "Loch Lomond" (The Highland Connection). Their singer changed at some point. I especially love "Every River", beacuse you don't notice it's live until the end.

[@RockChalk263]

Jack Black is so good on this but Glass! Total eargasm and listening to this song was a major impetus for me to try and learn the lead on this song.

[@njl]

I’m sure it’s on many minds this week but would be great to hear you on Sinead O’Connor.

[@ryuseki-oni]

if you haven't watched the original it's just magic so many covers

[@RickDelmonico]

The world was on fire, and no one could save me but you It's strange what desire will make foolish people do I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you [Chorus] No, I don't wanna fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart) No, I don't wanna fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart) With you (With you) (This world is only gonna break your heart) [Verse 2] What a wicked game to play To make me feel this way What a wicked thing to do To let me dream of you What a wicked thing to say You never felt this way What a wicked thing to do To make me dream of you [Chorus] And I don't wanna fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart) No, I don't wanna fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart) With you See Chris Isaak Live Get tickets as low as $150 You might also like Did you know that there’s a tunnel under Ocean Blvd Lana Del Rey MELTDOWN Travis Scott Timeless (Taylor’s Version) [From The Vault] Taylor Swift [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] The world was on fire, and no one could save me but you It's strange what desire will make foolish people do I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you [Chorus] No, I don't wanna fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart) No, I don't wanna fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart) With you (With you) (This world is only gonna break your heart) No, I- (This world is only gonna break your heart) (This world is only gonna break your heart) [Outro] Nobody loves no one

[@davidmohr1920]

Perfection 🙂

[@chriszumo4717]

The band HIM did an epic cover to this song too, might be worth checking out!

[@LJ-yz4ob]

They are the greatest

[@81ghale]

I thought they were Gibson artists, or at least always used them. I don’t thing I’ve ever seen either use a Martin. It sounds phenomenal though. Also Jack Black just always gives High Fidelity nostalgia vibes when he’s playing music.

[@ryuseki-oni]

thanks for this one! love this song 🙂 and also a fan of Jack Black have to say, initially, the guy has walls like fort knox lol paused at about 2 min waiting to see if he opens up a bit to show his own vulnerability love the voice so far!

[@ryuseki-oni]

oh, noooooo! lol

[@mccoymrm]

She's so sweet and honest. She really never listened to it. Blows my mind that she's authentic.

[@karenhaggard7094]

Jack Black and Kyle Gass are like the modern version of LeVar Burton and Steve Erwin. Wholesome AF (Kyle please reach out!!!)

[@NAEH2]

Tenacious D needs to turn into serious Tenacious D and they would kill it. This performance proves it.

[@funkdrunk87]

So good!

[@mexicojoe84]

Jack black is a phenomenal singer. I think you would like wonderboy

[@jpanici]

Greatest band in the world… period! 😁😁😁

[@gabrielhenriquefans]

The AGT audition of the outstanding singer Gabriel Henrique is coming on August 1st! I would love to see your reaction!!!

[@rodrigokawano5294]

On August 1st, NBC will air Gabriel Henrique's audition on America's Got Talent! I hope you react to him ❤

[@normancharlesworth1289]

I would like to recommend a version of this song by Diana Ankudinova,sung live on Russian tv when she was I think fifteen years of age. A truly remarkable talent.well worth checking out! Love your channel!

[@user-ru6mq5sc5n]

She is so right, most of us have singing within us, but most of us don't have a need to use it. Be reminded how many bands were created by 3 or 4 friends and the one that did not play a instrument had to be the singer, and they never sang before. If you don't believe me look up some very famous bands that this was the case.

[@brianbarrett2487]

The Motha' Fuckin' KG!

[@Blue_Lunacy]

Fun fact about the MV: They were at the same beach that was in the MV of Chris Issak version of the song.

[@call99999]

Ok, can't stop watching your videos. Each one brings something to my mind. Now I'm wondering what would you say about Northern Star by Hole.

[@johnnyturpin]

I don't know how I got hooked on vocal coaches reacting to music, but here I am... Enjoying your channel so far. If you want to react to someone talented, yet a little different, maybe give Merrill Garbus of Tune-Yards a shot - The live video of "Powa" from their performance at Brooklyn Steel is amazing - it is the teasing of the audience to try and match her range during the end rift that gets me... Such a great blues / rock / pop song from a lesser known artist. Also, how many vocalist have you covered that perform their own backing vocals in a live setting? kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYPdaaKvqpKbgMk

[@multifoco09]

Gabriel Henrique's qudition on AGT will be on august 1st!!! Can't wait!!!

[@theoradestra7060]

See there official video!!!

[@jirikrajnak9047]

1:41 pure skill

[@Pt14ka]

Бетани было очень приятно слышать и видеть Вас, как всегда. Удачи, успехов, здоровья, счастья🥰

[@guymartinez-nv2tp]

Awesome

[@MrRdh567]

Holy cow I just got chilled by the opening guitar sound.... I don't care for his voice in this song. But he does have a great voice.

[@dustinh4175]

What a great song. The original is so good

[@spynles7947]

If you want an outstanding cover of this song and without a doubt the best in my opinion watch Daisy Gray, the version of her on the beach. One of my favourite songs ever.

[@johnfarley4492]

I really enjoy your channel. Sorry i don't have anything more interesting to say.

[@ThomasRodriguez]

Shet got dam Kyle!

[@multifoco09]

Gabriel Henrique will audition on AGT on August 1st! Please react! Can't wait!!!

[@mrcatsuit]

Strongly recommend A Perfect Circle sing Magdalena

[@Beluga_Too]

Jack B can fucking SANG

[@Evil_Moo]

If I may make a suggestion, I'd love to see your thoughts on the band öOoOoOoOoOo. They have some extremely varied and interesting vocals that seem to drift between traditional and somewhat esoteric/experimental styles throughout their songs, so I think it would be fun to see your analysis. In any case, it's always enjoyable to see your reaction to, and enthusiasm for, the varied gamut of music you explore.

[@geodude2363]

Jesus ranh is his best original.

[@asinkillz7668]

Wtf!! This fool made me cry!! I want my money back

[@steveanderson8289]

Find where he does the national anthem acapella. You won't be disappointed.

[@rquader]

Jack Black was great in Orange County

[@watchmaker_dekia]

Many cover about this. Try WICKED GAME by H.I.M. Not the album version so close to the original, their own one.

[@a-b-jackson]

I wonder if you would react to a Sinead O'Connor video, after her recent death, and a singer who is very rarely (if ever) considered by vocal coaches on channels like this .. for example 'He moved through the Fair', the best version on CR's Video Vaults channel

[@RafaelFerreira-sg3fv]

Olá, nosso querido Gabriel Henrique estará se apresentando no American Got Talent no dia 01/08 às 21h. Vamos apoiar nosso prodígio!!!

[@michaelbuffat2459]

Love teenacious D. If you want to change to a new level. It will be interesting to see a video about Machine head / A Farewell to Arms

[@LobbySeatWarmer]

I’d love to see a reaction to “ misery chain” by Chris!
