I wish they had done another album in the last 5 years. For some reason I've got a feeling that the soundtrack to Pick of Destiny will be 1 or 2 new songs, some old ones and a bunch of sound clips from the movie.

After hearing the title track, I soooooo hope I'm wrong. They need more new stuff!!

Tenacious D Still Arguing As 'Destiny' Draws Near


September 25, 2006, 2:45 PM ET

Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.
It wouldn't be a conversation with Tenacious D if principal members Jack Black and Kyle Gass weren't arguing with one another about anything and everything. For instance, still up for debate is just how many songs will be featured on the soundtrack to the group's film "Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny," due Nov. 14 via Epic.

"I think it's around 12," Gass tells Billboard.com. "I think it's 18," Black replies. "Well, it depends on what you count as a song," Gass insists. "But tracks. How many numbers," Black says. "Yeah, I'm not counting numbers," Gass retorts. "Ten to 12 new songs."

The duo can agree on a few tracks sure to make the cut, including first single "Pick of Destiny," the video for which premieres today (Sept. 25) on MTV. "This is basically just a retelling of what you just saw," Gass says of the clip. "Jack and I go see our own movie but we ruin the movie for the people watching."

Fans can also look forward to "Master Exploder" ("Jack dreams how kick-ass we're going to be once we have the Pick of Destiny," Gass says), opener "Kickapoo" (which features Meat Loaf and Ronnie James Dio) and "Classico" ("It's about when Jack and I first meet at Venice Beach, and a spontaneous jam happens," Gass offers. "Jack starts singing along a classical riff to my classical guitar solo").

"Destiny," which opens Nov. 17, sports "one of the strongest openings and title sequences ever. I'm not even joking," Black says. "We kick it off with a kick-ass animation, actually. What is a better one, Kyle, that you can think of? 'North by Northwest' by Alfred Hitchcock. That's a good one, but is it better than the D?"


The question remains: with the movie and soundtrack about to be unleashed, is Tenacious D's "destiny" now fulfilled? "In terms of brass rings, or quests for power and validation, yeah, this was it, except for one little piece of the puzzle: the cover of Rolling Stone," Black says. "I think they're waiting for the first week's box office," Gass quips.

Still, the D has a couple of pet projects in line, should "Pick of Destiny" fail to cement the group as one of rock's all-time greats. "I'd love to make a sequel," Gass says. "I'd like to do a complete album of covers with no songs written after 1937. I'd like to do a concept album, with the concept being about me. I'd like to do a third part, which is actually part six of a nine-part nine-ogy." Says Black, alarmed, "A nine-part nine-ogy? I think that makes it an 81-ogy."

Tenacious D will hit the road in late November for a North American tour, followed by dates in the United Kingdom. More touring is planned for early next year, including shows in Australia, according to Black.

I'm sorry - and with all respect to PJ - but the duet with Meatloaf and Ronnie james Dio will be the greatest song ever written and recorded in the history of the world and the universe...

Jack Black is speaking out against his bandmate's controversial comment about the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.

In a statement provided to USA TODAY, the "School of Rock" actor, 54, said he was "blindsided" by bandmate Kyle Gass saying "don't miss Trump next time" on stageduring their Tenacious D show on Sunday.

Black also said he will no longer continue performing with Gass on Tenacious D's ongoing tour.

"I would never condone hate speech or encourage political violence in any form," Black said. "After much reflection, I no longer feel it is appropriate to continue the Tenacious D tour, and all future creative plans are on hold. I am grateful to the fans for their support and understanding."

KG made a pretty strong apology, too. Hopefully it blows over quick.

Can't say I followed her career closely enough to evaluate. I think her "statement" was staged vs. an off the cuff joke attempt though.

Absolutely.  The question still remains.  Isn't she still in career purgatory?  I say she is.  You don't see her in anything anymore.
Dixie Chicks suffered a bit before gaining back fans.

It will be interesting to see what comes of it.

Think the Dixie Chicks' statement was a lot more measured so their blowback would be more sustained than this, but the subject matter here is a lot more sinister I guess especially given the polarising nature of US politics right now. Was it malicious? No I don't really think so. But was it a catastrophic failure to read the room? Absolutely. Hell it wasn't just a tour cancellation Jack apparently is reconsidering everything. Would be an awkward plane ride home and I'd imagine Kyle would have copped some serious yelling.

I also wouldn't be surprised if PJ got dragged through the mud with that Missoula poster again.

pjl44

He immediately apologized profusely. What are we doing here?

Missoula poster.  PJ had very little blowback of a skeleton Trump, or a Halloween and knife shirt or the other one I didn't buy.  PJ has 3 items to get blasted for.

It was a terrible joke but he didn't dig in. He apologized immediately. He knows it was fucked up. You gotta give some grace.

True.

So glad more people didn't die.

Sheesh

I realize the D is more concert than comedy show but you can't ignore the comedic element. I have far more sympathy for what was clearly an improvised joke than an earnest political statement.

Yeah totally. Was it malicious? Na. Was it a catastrophic failure to read the room? Yes. So it's understandable that Jack took such rapid and drastic action.

Jack didn't want to get cancelled.  He would like to maintain his career.

I saw Jack getting all the grief and thought it was him that said something initially. Sucks to be the famous half lol.

I thought more about this.  What isn't malicious about wanting a bullet to hit someone?

I interpreted as maybe he meant to try and be funny, said something stupid, and it didn't land.   Sometimes people just say stupid things they don't really mean.

Not sure if that's the case with this scenario.. but you need to be careful in 2024 to not say stupid things.  The world is less forgiving than it used to be?

I was at a show once and saw someone wearing a Cliff Burton T-shirt with the caption "It should have been Lars." Very dark humor but I did in no way think this man wished actual death on Lars Ulrich.

For Lars I get that but for Trump?  People feel very different.

The fact that it's said in jest. If you've seen Jeselnik Boyle Carr etc they say some horrible shit in a dry manner. The irony is part of the joke-a reasonable person wouldn't say that and they believe themselves to be reasonable hence the irony. Often the audacity to say such things is funnier than what they actually say. But people are often disingenuous about the context in which these things are said and don't treat them as jokes to stir up controversy and get people cancelled all for the sake of more media attention.

With oft putting joes you usually follow up with something spirited or deflect what you said.  Thats why they are comedians.
