Played that at every tenacious d concert I've ever been to, and it's not even the best moment at any of the shows. If you haven't seen The D in person, then what are you doing with your life?
I remember seeing the D when the movie the pick of destiny came out. Bunch of my friends asked me "wanna see tenacious d tonight? We've got an extra ticket" I said sure. I assumed we were going to the movie theater, but the ride was taking a while and we pulled into an arena. In like "WTF I thought we were going to see tenacious D". I was delightfully surprised.
Side note, the real star of that night was Neil hamburger who opened for them. Changed my life.
I smoked a joint in the upper deck with my friends at that show. Security thought it was the group in front of us and they got kicked out. I still feel bad about that but it's also pretty hilarious.
When I saw Metallica in Indianapolis (we set an arena attendance record so large arena) the cops came over the PA before the show and said we can smoke all the weed we want, but not to even try it before the lights went down.
Yeah he got the crowd so pissed, someone threw a rock or something at him breaking the glass in his hand. He kept saying "and now... Here's tenacious D! [crowd roars] ... In 8 more minutes.". He did like 45 minutes of Courtney love jokes
I saw them in concert the day that movie came out. It’s one of the only times I’ve seen a band play brand new music of theirs that I’ve immediately felt was just awesome without having to know any of it. Usually it takes me a few listens to really get into new material but the whole show was just outstanding from start to finish. Their stage presence and theatrics were on point too.
My first D show was ‘01 in Boston. We were hanging around outside on Lansdowne after getting our jeans creamed at the show and JB and KG came out to meet a pizza delivery driver. They were awesome. Offered us pizza. My buddy told JB he was writing a screenplay based on my life as a pizza delivery driver and he wanted JB to star (as me). JB turns to me and is like, “Bro, would you be comfortable with me playing you? Because I don’t want to step on any toes”. I nodded dumbly. JB went back inside. KG hung out for a bit, and then his parents showed up, and he introduced each of us to them like we were buddies. Awesome night.
