Interesting, since Tenacious D and the Foo Fighters have pretty strong ties. For those wondering, Dave Grohl plays the devil in the video for "Tribute", while Jack Black and Kyle Gass make cameos in "Learn to Fly".

Grohl also plays Satan in the Pick of Destiny movie and sings the part on the album, too.

I do believe he played the drums in the film and did his own guitar pieces too. Though I admit I can't be certain of that and can't he bothered to find references that support or deny it.

Indeed.

Also the music video for "Low" is Dave Grohl & Jack Black getting weird in a motel room.

Jack Black also did vocals on I am the Warlock for Dave Grohl’s Probot project!

Tenacious D. Such a great movie. I bet they were great live.

Funkybeatzzz t1_j28sdp2 wrote on December 30, 2022 at 1:55 PM

Tenacious D was a band long before they made a movie.

Useless_Lemon t1_j28sitm wrote on December 30, 2022 at 1:56 PM

Yeah found that out and feel like a fucking asshole. Great band, still great movie.

Tenacious D were announced months before. Not a late replacement.

Yeah but they were supposed to be on after slipknot. The massive crowd half expecting to get a Grohl/Slipknot mashup were treated to TD. Or should I say TD were treated to a much larger than expected crowd which they mentioned several times (also they were the last slot before Metallica and Jack Black mentioned several times that was a dream fantasy bucket list achievement for him to open for Metallica and he got a bit emotional)

TIL a UK punk band called the FF'ers were bottled at the Reading Festival in 2008 after rumours circulated their set was a secret Foo Fighters gig. Their bassist said items thrown included "bottles, shoes, clumps of earth, phones, a full packet of cigarettes (exactly what we needed after the gig)"
