Vocal Coach/Arranger Reacts to TENACIOUS D - THE PICK OF DESTINY

[@argrides8440]

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!

[@duncan680]

I Vote for Paradise by the dashboard light for her next reaction ;) kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWKUfq2Yesh7otk

[@greywoolf6405]

So many miss that meatloaf is jack's muse and inspiration for so much of what he does! :)

[@tscrillaforilla4175]

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

[@ianrastall]

Yes, but she's the only person thus far to recognize the Nirvana riff at the end of the opening number.

[@chrisklema9992]

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.

[@marceldouwstra5847]

And there is video of Dio singing this whole bit in 1 take :D

[@JohnJimmyJoe]

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.

[@chrisklema9992]

I heard the same. Can't confirm if its true, but I'd believe it. XD

[@marceldouwstra5847]

There is a video on KZbin about it 😊

[@stevenblyth5746]

God bless Meat Loaf and Ronnie James Dio❤🤟🥹

[@deyvplays]

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.

[@KennethSorling]

Can we all agree that Meat Loaf was freaking awesome?

[@johndeeregreen4592]

One of the best rock baritenors in history.

[@UltimoDogLover]

Yep. RIP.

[@TheGoIsWin21]

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.

[@JMulvy]

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!"

The 4 droogies were a cameo from the film Clockwork Orange and in that film mostly cockney accents.

[@trismegistus7638]

>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

[@Bratosch]

If it were a Cameo then the actual actors from the movie would've done it. This is "just" a reference!

[@rydz656]

And a mix of russian slang I think

[@inkpenavengerYT]

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.

[@CashedoutLookingup]

yeah his parents in academia are just as renowned as Jack Black himself. They made a force of nature that's for sure

[@SylviusTheMad]

The winner of the Finnish version of The Voice as few years back auditioned with Master Exploder from this movie.

[@BeweProds]

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.

[@BeweProds]

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.

[@vickestr794]

This ☝️🤘

[@seandaniels7938]

His voice is truly powerful

[@LordVolkov]

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 🤣🤣🤣

[@shalakabooyaka1480]

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.

[@LaSerpentDEden]

Those specifically were sideburns known as Mutton Chops

[@MartijnPennings]

I'll add that to my quite interesting trivia facts database, thanks!

[@zombiepicnic9683]

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.

[@mattyk2676]

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.

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.

[@steffNewtown]

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. 😍🤘🏻

[@enlightendbel]

The Cockney guys at the start is a reference to the movie A Clockwork Orange.

[@enlightendbel]

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.

[@Metzwerg74]

thank you...

[@bertalach]

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.

[@JimDanvers]

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 . . .

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.

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

[@Larper64]

​@@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.

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

[@mr.knowitall6440]

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.

He sprinted around the stage, leapt energetically, and did the worm 1/2 way across the stage at one point. Absolute legend.
