‘JUST BE A GOOD HUMAN’ Shirts👉🏾jamel-aka-jamal-youtube-store.myteespring.co

"I'm trying to see if this is a true story." Yes, this is the true story of how Tenacious D became the greatest band in the world. You can learn more about it in the documentary film "The Pick of Destiny."

Fun fact: the Devil is played by Drave Grohl!

The whole premise of the song cracks me right up, a tribute song to the greatest song in the world because they forgot the actual song 😆

There is an older version from their HBO show where you can clearly tell the greatest song in the world is "Stairway From Heaven"

Wonderboy is a great song by these guys. Its not in their movie, more of a stand alone song. I highly recommend it!

Hi Jamel - since a minimum of 900 people are going to mention that is Dave Grohl from Foo Fighters (& eventually say he was also the drummer for Nirvana) 🤣🤣🤣 I thought I'd sneak in & nudge you that you've only reacted to one FF song - "The Pretender". Consider checking out "Learn To Fly" "Best Of You" "Times Like These" "Everlong" "My Hero"!! Have an amazing day!! 🙏✌❤

Dave Grohl was the demon. He was the drummer for Nirvana and the founder/lead singer of Foo Fighters. The man's a musical genius and has a bunch of guest spots on this album and all kinds of other stuff. I'm still amazed every time I find out some solo I used to love as a kid (drums, guitar, whatever) was actually him and not the band that put out the album. He plays drums on the song "No One Knows" by Queens of the Stone Age. INSANE!

You need to watch Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny so you can react to Beelzeboss. Dave Grohl is on that track too.

Dave Grohl was the devil and also drummed for the entire Tenacious D album this is from!

"Trying to see if it's a true story" , they MAY have embellished a little.

There’s a reason Jack Black is my #1 celebrity crush. I definitely think he goes under appreciated.

Their HBO series was craaazy hilarious.

Every time I see someone go up to the jukebox in a bar I'll yell out "Play the best song in the world, or I'll eat your soul". 😆

Jack Black is the most surprising musician.. really talented.

Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters) is the demon and Ben Stiller is one of the people that walks past the recording booth.

So glad this song is doing the rounds on react channels, absolutely love seeing people discover Tenacious D. It's my karaoke go-to, the scatting bit always gets the place popping, hahaha.

"I'm tryina see if this is a true story" "All of a sudden...there shined a shiny demon..." I think you got your answer XD

You should watch Jack Blacks Sexual Healing. He did a cover of it for the movie High Fidelity.

So when the HBO shorts came out in ‘94 (I think there’s 6 episodes) I watched them so much that these songs are BURNED into my memory forever. Back then, they’d gotten a springboard from Mr. Show (another show on HBO) and if you saw those episodes you were kind of in on the ‘gag’. They were real musicians, real comedians and real actors creating a fictional and crazy account of their history: two slackers trying to make it big as a rock band all the whole believing that they are TRULY the best band in the world and everyone else just doesn’t realize it yet. Then JB started making movies but The D never broke up and the music from those shorts was good enough for them to make albums, to tour and to make the story into a movie. ‘The Pick of Destiny’ is a movie version of those first HBO shorts and it’s great but if you watch those 6 original 30-minute shorts, you’ll totally understand what they’re about. Ive seen them live twice and they’re better than most ‘real bands’. If you get the chance, I highly recommend catching a show. 👍🏻

Seth Mcfarlane actually does music. Only problem is whenever I hear his music I picture Brian the Dog singing the songs since Seth uses his real voice for Brian.

Dude you gotta check out all the old Tenacious D episodes from their HBO series. Its from the late 90s and explains the origins of the band. Then I think 2006 they made a movie that was a sequel to the HBO series called "Pick of Destiny". Its all comedy-rock GOLD!!! And good morning brother!

.......Ima hit you all with a Tenacious D rarity.....Jesus Ranch. Their HBO show version is by FAR their best song. And...that’s saying something because I love Tenacious D.

YOOO, IVE BEEN WANTING YOU TO LISTEN TO TENACIOUS D FOR A LONG ASS TIME MAN

Could u please react to "Danger! High Voltage" by Electric Six? It was out at about the same time as this and is great fun (with the video of course) x

Fun fact: Ben Stiller walks by at 6:17

The Demon was Dave Grohl. He has been friends with the band for a very long time. He has played drums for the band from time to time. You can see him playing drums with them when Tenacious D played Blizzcon 2010.

I remember an old interview with Jack Black where he said that he's had some version of Tenacious D since he was pretty young and that they even played the wrap party for "Dead Man Walking" where he played Sean Penn's kid brother back in the day and that Sean Penn asked him after why they played comedy songs since they were so talented and could definitely play serious music, and Jack Black replied that at some point they had tried being serious and didn't feel like it worked for them so they went all out with what did feel right and that's why Tenacious D plays this kind of music despite being good enough to be a serious band.

Try Wonderboy. Another “clean” D song. They really canrock the house. Jack Black has some serious pipes!

I love how this whole song is basically Stairway To Heaven after the bridge just played over and over with some improv. 😂

Jack Black does a very respectable cover of Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On"

Love his movie “School of Rock!” I feel like you might have seen it- if not, please give it a watch- great movie-💜✌️

Saw The D in concert in The D, my hometown Detroit, a couple years back and I have to say it was probably the best show I've ever been too! Such great performers and musicians, their backing band is phenomenal too! The interaction with the crowd was really awesome. Love Tenacious D!

Jack Black's voice is amazing. Kyle's is also great. They harmonize SO well together. TD is no joke.

For sure check out their HBO Series...you'll see where the humor comes from for sure.

Love this song - and your reaction The devil is Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters) Oh and the old lady at the end if Dave Grohl's Mum :)

Dave Grohl plays the devil in this video. In their TV show that this came from, Scott Adsit from 30 Rock plays the devil.

I love Tenacious D! Their lyrics are so goofy, but their music and singing are so good!! They always put a smile on my face.

If you have not seen this movie, you need to check it out. It is called Tenacious D The Pick of Destiny. Wonderboy would be a great follow up.

Not only did Dave Grohl of Foos and Nirvana play drums on this record, but Page McConnell of Phish played keyboards!

Pretty cool that Jack Black's been a successful actor, musician and KZfaq gamer

Jack Black is such a Trip! Love his acting skills & comedic timing in his movies. He has a genuinely great singing voice. An all-round awesome/entertaining talent..

6:10 gotta say this part contains so much emotion and it sure does rocks like hell! My favorite of the song without a shadow of a doubt

Thanks for keeping the music alive man. From outback Australia...

"Kyle took a bullet for me" is a short song, but amazing talent on display.

The devil was Dave Grohl from foo fighters/nirvana. Now do the Metal, Beezleboss, and Dude (I totally miss you) by Tenacious D

Always loved this song since it came out. My friends and family thought it was weird but they ended it up loving it too.

Their whole first album is amazing. It’s hilarious but the songs are really good. It’s my #1 road trip album.

This song and video really tickle me. I started playing guitar in a band in the mid-90's and it illustrates the hopes and dreams of every musician writing that great tune, but acknowledging that it probably didn't sound as good in retrospect. That amazing gig? Probably just decent. Killer solo? Tons of feedback that synced up with the beat. Incredible harmonies? We was drunk.

And if I remember right the devil is played by Dave Grohl from Foo Fighters

The Devil is played by Dave Grohl, the lead singer/songwriter of the Foo Fighters & a certified badass. He's got a drumming "rivalry" going on with another KZfaqr named Nandi Bushell who is a very young drummer that can crush it like a pro. This is Dave accepting Nandi's rock-off challenge kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aLiGnbad27qtZaM.html This is the song he wrote for her kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gtt5ecxqqt2nh4E.html Some fun Foo Fighters videos: Everlong kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m6h3arNesJPWYY0.html Learn to Fly kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z7yBkpakp8CpnWQ.html Run kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n8ynlpipzK-XgYE.html

The shiny demon was Dave Grohl, of Nirvana and Them Crooked Vultures and Queens of the Stone Age and I don't know how many other bands. That was Ben Stiller walking by at the end, and Linda Porter was the older lady at the end who was hitting Jack Black with her purse and then got the red devil eyes and laughed heartily, a la Thriller style, whom you might know from the show Superstore, whom sadly just passed in September of 2019 at the age of 86.

This was 1997, 1998! And they're still rocking today!

Tenacious D? Instant thumbs up! 👍🏻

Jack Black goes 100% in everything he does, you should watch him recording the lines for Po in Kung Fu Panda

There are also subtle references to "greatest songs in the world" in the song. Like, the guitar melody is vaguely similar to "Stairway to Heaven", the lyrics are similar to "The Devil Went Down to Georgia". And the "Thriller" thing you pointed out at the end of the video was probably intentional, too.

Definitely my favorite Tenacious - D song! Yes, Jamel, the devil is Dave Grohl, lead singer of the Foo Fighters, and drummer for Nirvana! thanks for another great reaction! ;-)

FYI This is a tribute to “Stairway to Heaven” from Led Zeppelin Listen to the very last riff after the lady grabs the CD. It’s a lick from the song. Often considered the best song ever!

Fun fact - the guitar part is very reminiscent (or a tribute) to Stairway to Heaven, but the original inspiration for the song is One by Metallica.

Be the first reaction Channel to honnor , Roy Buchanan , hey Joe , Austin Texas 👍Will blow you away , pure guitar and amp , no wau wau pedal , just pure Sound from one of the greatest guitarist

Jack Black is a very talented vocalist and actor indeed.

*Dave Grohl* the former drummer for *(Nirvana)* lead singer of *(Foo Fighters)* played the *#DEVIL* in this video

I love the Ben Stiller cameo :D I saw the Band live 2013 in germany, one of the best live Bands ever. Part Music, part comedy Show, just brillant :D

I think Jamel is ready for "Master Exploder" \m/

fun fact.. the chord progression to the part you said sounded familiar is the same as the chord progression in Stairway to heaven. in fact, in early live recordings of this song, they would break into stairway to heaven at that part (indicating that stairway was the "greatest song" they played to defeat the demon). i imagine when they did the actual release of the song they re-worked it to a: avoid copyright and b: put their own spin on it

The devil was played by Dave Grohl from Nirvana/Foo Fighters. He also played drums on the studio tracks from that album.

Whenever I start a new world in Minecraft, I always call my first diamond pickaxe The Pick of Destiny - all hail The D!

This song was inspired by the song "The Devil Went Down To Georgia" by Charlie Daniels for sure.

The D did a series of episodes on HBO back in 97 , hilarious ! Find that and watch it , learn it , live it . It will tell you everything that you need

wonderboy-Tenacious D is still in my top 10 favorite songs

As it has been said hundreds of times in the comments it was Dave Grohl playing the devil. You can see his tattoos showing through the makeup. Also the face he pulls when licking the guitar neck you can tell its him. But if you don't know it's hard to spot on the first viewing. Did you catch the other cameo in the video? Ben Stiller is one of the shoppers walking passed when Jack grabs him he turns toward the camera before shrugging Jack off and walks out of shot. A pretty cool hidden cameo I'd say.

Tenacious D was actually part of a Dio music video for the song 'Push" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nZ2eitqqqJmlen0.html From the wiki for Tenacious D -- ' The album also included "Dio", a song written as a tribute to rock singer Ronnie James Dio, which mocked him somewhat for being too old. Dio liked the song enough to ask the band to appear in the music video for his song, "Push" '

When Jack burst out, the first guy to walk by, with the black jacket, is Ben Stiller.......also, this is my favorite song out of every song to ever exist...

Pretty sure there's a subtle ode to Stairway to Heaven in this song (arguably the ACTUAL greatest song in the world) in that the chord sequence is the same.

I have a bunch of reactors in my subs... but you are my favorite. This is a goooood rabbit hole to stumble in.

Love it near the end when Ben Stiller walks by and looks at them.

Jamel. also known as Jamel! I’ve been waiting for you to get back jack black and the D! Jack black grew up a massive rock fan, but he just couldn’t help but to give his music a comedic twist. Which is good, cuz you can see his musical talents, but he can’t help by being himself and make it original in his music.

Hey Jamel, I was wondering where you went for all your frames? I just got some of those Axe Heaven miniatures and want to find some frames.

Great talent from both. Dave Grohl from Foo Fighters, who was also the drummer for Nirvana and for a few Queens of the Stone Age songs. He plays the devil.

Royal Thunder- April Showers or Time Machine Dax Riggs- Say Goodnight To The World or Let Me Be Your Cigarette Think you’d dig both, love the channel and positivity message

I worked on film "Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny". Never ending great stories

3:11 - Shiny Demon played by Dave Grohl from Foo Fighters. 6:17 - Ben Stiller in a dark jacket carrying light brown bag. The member of Tenacious D, Kyle Gass makes his own solo music too. Please react to "Manchild" by Kyle Gass!!

You HAVE to react to Fuck Her Gently by them also. The Devil was played by Dave Grohl the singer from Foo Fighters

I'm soooo pleased you're reacting to this beauty 😁

I always figured this song was a Tribute to "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" by the Charlie Daniels Band. It's a bit too on-the-nose to feel otherwise.

Didn’t know this was new I think I was trying to find a song and stumbled upon you. As a 22 year old yet who knows more than the average one my age I’d say You are one of the only ppl I’ll watch react to stuff. You’re not like these super young people who don’t know anything and not annoying! Keep it up mane

Put in my order for that t-shirt right now. I got the sweatshirt about a month ago and it is very comfortable in the Boston winter. Looking forward to showing off the tee in the spring. I got red with black letters so everyone can see. Thank you for all you do, Brother Jamel!

Bro most people don’t know this bands roots are from their HBO tv series. All of the original songs make sense in context of the episodes. Check out the show, it’s gold

Tribute is a high budget version of their earlier work, the tenacious D television show, which is too hilarious and must be checked out. It's the perfect place to start with tenacious d, and then go through their 4 albums and the movie. It's not actually a huge amount of content, and can easily all be watched and listened to in a single day.

This was a follow up release after the movie The Pick of Destiny, if you seen the movie you know they forgot the greatest song in the world at the end. The devil was Dave Grohl from The Foo Fighters.

Fun fact,if you listen to the actual Album, there is a skit that comes on just before this track, where Jack Black, makes this little twang on his guitar, and he calls it a song. That little twang, is the greatest song in the world.

Anyone else notice that the road backdrop was a nod to Judas Priests "Head out to the Highway" it is the same one they used for that video. Great reaction. Now go watch the pick of destiny movie.

Now you gotta do Foo Fighters "Learn to Fly" where they pay back the favor to Dave Grohl

I delivered to Jack Black once a few years ago and he brought the energy then too...I don’t think he ever turns it off. It was a like a personal performance just for me. He also tipped well. 🤙🏼

I know you love you some tenacious D, and I know how you've got some Dio under your belt, so I wanted to let you know that there was a dio tribute album where tenacious D sings "last in line" The entire album has some great covers. Peace, and love man.

These guys had a show before the album. It usually had them engaging in some sort of misadventure and then ending up at a local open mic night. This particular song had the demon being played by their “neighbor” at the apartments, and he couldn’t stand the noise from their rehearsals...he was a writer...he couldn’t write. The tunes are great by themselves, but that show was on a level all its own.

Jack Black (and Tenacious D) got their start on an HBO late night sketch show in the 90s called Mr. Show with Bob & David (David Cross, Arrested Development & Bob Odenkirk, Breaking Bad). Check out the sketch “The Joke, the Musical” for a seriously absurd (and inappropriate) time.

I saw Tenacious D play in a club on Sunset Strip years ago before they broke big and just about fell out of my chair and how great they were. Their debut album is just so great. Definitely check out Wonderboy from that/this album.

i love the love on your channel, yer a one in a million kinda fella......thank you and love ya brother

The original joke when they did this song... decades ago.. the song they played was Stairway to Heaven
