Tenacious D always walked that fine line between a being a spoof band vs actually writing some decent classic stadium rock
The problem with the band is that they don’t take themselves seriously at all, so why should anyone else? I mean who ever heard of someone actually buying a Tenacious D album?
Sure, “Tribute†is probably kicking around on your playlist from the early 2000s along with “Wonderboy†and “Fuck Her Gently†but that’s about as far as it goes which isn’t very far for a band that has two (dick-joke laden) albums out.
So I’m making it my mission to buy and review their new album Rise Of The Fenix when it lands in May to see if it’s a load of turd or something actually worth listening to. In the meantime, here’s the promo video they put out for the album, featuring Val Kilmer and Dave Grohl.
Party on Wayne.
