After having watched "The Pick of Destiny" I just needed more Tenacious D, especially given satan showing up at the end of the film. How does it end? How did it begin? Are they correlated?! I needed to know! So, let's cut to the greatest song in the world's tribute!

Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Tenacious D performing "Tribute" for the very first time.

    This song actually came YEARS before pick of destiny was a thing. This song inspired the pick of destiny concept.
  • @guitaraholic
    Tenacious D is criminally underatted. Wonderboy is one hell of a song to react too... almost like a ballad with the amazing comedy and wit in the writing as well
  • @RealPapaCass
    Seeing her genuinely geek out over the genius of the D made me happy. 20 plus yrs later still killin it
  • Fun fact: The microphone Jack is singing into can be clearly seen at 15:26 in the video. It is the broadcast version of the legendary Buchannon Hammer, The Electro Voice 664. The broadcast version has a matte finish so it would not shine in bright camera lights. It had a slightly different model number, the EV 666! We might say, "The Devil's microphone". Only a handful of viewers would have found that little "Easter Egg" but you know darned well, Jack and Kyle knew.
  • "Does Dave Grohl also play guitar?" Yes. He also played everything on the first foo fighters album. Like everything.
  • This man is a bard. He sings songs that tell stories. And his voice is just...amazing. he is charismatic. He is fun. His songs and stories reflect who and what he is. There were never a truer description of a bard.
  • @Rog311
    You'll be blown away if you dive into Dave Grohl's story. The man is an absolute GOD in music, no matter the genre. Nirvana, Foo Fighters, offered to be a Heartbreaker by Tom Petty, Dream Widow, Queens of the Stone Age, Tenacious D. The list goes on forever and the guy does everything for everyone and kills it every single time.
  • @TheMafii
    My favourite part about this is watching Elizabeth completely forget to do any vocal analysis and just have a great time watching this video. So, SO wholesome. 15/10 A+++ would watch again.
  • @Jarrodactor
    This song came out 5 years before "The Pick of Destiny." They used this song as the inspiration for the movie.
  • @AceTheWorrior
    "we are not aiming for pretty here, we are aiming for FUN" Is maybe the most fitting discriprion of Tenacious D ever. I love it }:D
  • @xeonon
    The part with the outside of the booth is my favorite. You see them inside and it sounds amazing. Then flash to outside and it's like slightly off. Leads you to think that they don't sound as good as they do in their head. We know they are that good... But I love that.
  • @miacooke718
    Did you also notice Kyle was making normal "ah" sounds while Jack is riffing all over the place. I think part of their brilliance is that Kyle plays the "straight man" to Jack's insanity.
  • 100% true story of how it happened Tenacious D is High Key the greatest band of all time
  • @discodubber85
    Actually, “Tribute” came first, and “The Pick of Destiny” is inspired by the song. The ending of the movie is to set the stage, by way of prequel, for the song.
  • I've been rocking to Tenacious D for 20+ years and it's just as good now as it was then. JB has one of the most versatile voices out there. He puts his whole heart into every song.
  • @CleoCat75
    gosh dang, your happiness and joy and giggles are infectious, fantastic!! And spot on educational as heck, thank you for all the analysis <3
  • "Be ye angels? And we said 'nay, we are but men.' ROCK!" is my favorite lyric ever. But song has so many wonderful turns of phrase. "Shined a shiny demon" etc. So good.
  • @NanoSouza
    About Dave Grohl: He can do everything... The first Foo Fighters album was recorded entirely by himself (every instrument), before the band actually exists... Also, he did an amazing song called 'Play' which is 20+ minutes long with him playing lots of different instruments. The guy is amazing!
  • @bwianeh
    only JB can make fliggo-gi-go work also KG is criminally underrated as a guitarsist and vocalist The D for ever:)
