Tenacious D: The Complete Masterworks

These guys are funny. The thing that really makes this double DVD great, though, is the talent Kyle and Jack possess. You'll be hard-pressed to find a frontman as vigorous as JB. He is humorous, but also positively intense. He has a remarkable vocal range. Kyle's guitar work is highly commendable as well.

The episodes from HBO and other exploits on the DVD are worthwhile, but not as enjoyable for me as the concert. I do recommend this DVD in its entirety. Anyone who dislikes the use of the "f" word may not agree with me.

This two-disc set is perfect for long time D-Sciples or for introducing this musical/comedy duo to the masses. Jack Black and Kyle Gass are the genius behind Tenacious D, a rocking acoustic duo blessed by none other than Satan to spread their awsomeness about the globe. On the first disc you'll find every episode of their unfortunately short lived HBO series as well as a complete concert recorded live at Brixton Academy in London England. Highlights from their TV show include the episodes "Search for Inspirado" in which the band has 5 days to write a new song (because the club where they play is tired of the same song every week), and "The Fan" in which the D find themselves turning the table on a would-be stalker.

Disc two contains gems labeled "For Psycho Fans Only". On this disc you'll find three music videos, and two movies about the making of two of those videos. Also it contains an on the road documentary, D appearances on TV shows, and three extra short films that were made for HBO.

The Works has everything you could ever hope for chronicling this groups greatest creative efforts. The content some will find offensive and there are many rock induced "Satanic" elements which, humorously add to the depth of these characters (if indeed JB and KG aren't just being themselves). Their songs are addictive, easy to pick up and sing along with, even if their subject matter isn't something you'd want the kids to be exposed to. If you enjoy irreverent, satirical humor along the lines of Monty Python or The Simpsons, then I suggest whole heartedly Tenacious D: The Complete Masterworks.

I have always been a big fan of The D but this is a DVD that not just fans, but every person old enough to witness offensive language will love. There is a sort of magic to the combination of comedy and rock that make you want the new Tenacious D movie to come out tomorrow. Not only is the humour dirty to a point of total awe, but the music these two guys can produce is frightening. Jack Black can deliver hilariously original lyrics with the intensity of any lead singer out there. Kyle Gass, lead guitarist, is magic with a guitar. Although the music and concert is amazing, all the little extras like the short films and road documentaries make this DVD a must have for Tenacious D fans, comedy fans, and rock fans alike.

I just picked up this dvd and haven't laughed as hard in a while. Already showed it to three different friends on 2 occasions. Kage and Jables rule. They know how to make some damn funny songs (infinitely funnier than Weird Al and Adam Sandler) AND they have mad talent musically as well. I wish they had more stuff out. JB's pretty good on Mr. Show too. If anybody out there likes the D they'd probably like Mr.Show too. BUY THE DVDS

This may be one of the funniest duos since... anybody. Beyond the comic

genius that is Tenacious D lies a couple of great musicians. The songs will not only make you laugh your a#s off, but they're good musically. Tenacious D is a legitimate rock band and a comedy act in one. The DVD is really well put together, it's got all of their HBO episodes, a live concert, behind the scenes stuff, a video directed by Spike Jonze with Dave

Grohl, and a ton more. It's a tight DVD and a must have for longtime D Fans and newcomers alike. If you don't find this stuff funny... I feel sorry for you.
