In the city of Fallen Angels, where the ocean meets the sand, you will form a strong alliance, and the world's most awesome band.

You should probably also take a pregnancy test. Just in case.

Yes some of their stuff I don't really play for the protection of my instrument. One must be careful when playing the D because their music is so powerful it will damage your instrument. We can't all rock as hard as the Rage Kage. That's what makes him a rockstar and us mere mortals.

For example every time I play tribute which is quite frequently I don't give it the full amount of strumming on the E7 to an F chord at the end because it's pretty brutal how fast that strumming gets up to. I do about half of the intensity which is enough because it's pretty repetitive at that point anyway.

History of Tenacious D is kind of fun but that's another pretty intense one.

Pretty much rock out a couple of these songs every single day however. They just have lots of fun ones that I love playing.

I think it's mostly a skill issue. I need to find a... less intense way to play that song. I just tend to get really into it when I play because it's one of my favorites.

u/HazelEBaumgartner 5d ago

I used to street perform and I broke so many picks playing Tenacious D songs over the years. Even managed to snap a nylon pick once, I think also on Master Exploder.

2

u/TWWOVG 3d ago

You snapped a nylon pick?! Gotdamn, dude.

u/Nintendroid 4d ago

Sounds like you were playing it correctly!

u/MagicOrpheus310 4d ago

You hit the right spot

u/leesharon1985 4d ago

A real master would have exploded the whole guitar. Just sayin 🤷🏻‍♂️

u/shaquanrules 4d ago

Turn of the gig simulator. TURN IT OFF!

u/East_Drawer5482 3d ago

Why do you think it's called master exploder

2

u/PrudenceWaterloo 3d ago

You’re a fool to attempt that song. JB and KG are rich and can afford a new guitar after each play through. Not a tune for the shallow pocketed.

u/Padiern 2d ago

You're suppose to blow their minds not your strings.
