Review: ‘D Tour, A Tenacious Documentary’

Scott:

For those of you that know me, I am a die hard Tenacious D fan, and, when they released ‘The Complete Master Works Volume 2’ on Tuesday, rest assured that I made it mine. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they put a documentary on the 2nd disk that followed The D around while they were doing their world tour and releasing ‘The Pick of Destiny’.

What you get with the documentary is a very candid and real look at the band behind the scenes as they deal with going on the road, doing a huge stage performance with a full band, and the mediocre success the movie did at the box office. I always had this vision that Jack Black and Kyle Gass were just constantly turned on to funny, and that’s not the case. You see that they are actually real dudes that have real insecurities and problems. I wish the doc had been about 3 hours longer, but I will certainly take what I can get. The doc was done by Jeremy Konner, and he did an outstanding job!

One of my favorite parts from the movie was the opening scene, a low quality video from a 1996 performance they did at a coffee house. Â  It shows them performing ‘Greatest Song in the World’ and doing a skit about what they demand as artists. Fucking brilliant!

From there you get to follow the guys as they start planning their world tour of domination and talk about releasing ‘Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny’. You will see Jack Black with his wife and son, KG with his girlfriend and watch as they go on the road and try to rock everyone’s faces off.

This instantly goes to the top of my favorite documentary list, and it should be seen by everyone!

Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
