- Tenacious D performing "The Metal" @ Guitar Center's 2011 Drum Off Grand Finals at Club Nokia in Los Angeles. Look out for Tenacious D's new album 'Rize of the Fenix' coming May 2012. www.rizeofthefe... gc.guitarcenter...
I've got to show you the Genius that Brooks Wackerman is:
After listening to this for the 1st time back in 2012, I was amazed at the drumming when it begins at 2:29...
Now, in 2019, over 7 years later, I listened again and a magical thing has happened!
Pay attention to the drumming part in-between Jack Black's lyric pauses:
"New Wave tried to destroy the metal"
--- no drums, as New Wave originally is (was) ---
"but the Metal had its way"
"Punk Rock tried to destroy the metal"
--- high-speed snare drum, typical punk rock snare sound ---
"but Metal was in the way"
"Grunge they tried to dethrone the metal"
--- drum intro to Smells Like Teen Spirit
Efstathios Mesaretzidis holy shit.. that’s genius
Holy shit.
Omg ty bro its amazing this guy fits perfectly in a7x
Also at 3:25 once they’ve established it’s “METAL” he hits them with what sounds like metallica’s one
What the actual fuck, you’re right.
and now this guy plays for the Avenge Sevenfold. Good for him.
:D
He played for bad religion, suicidal tendencies, Korn, and many more.... Brooks is the shit
ikr, his work on the stage makes me insane. hes sooo goood
He even played for blink-182 live for awhile 😂
OfficialMirrors I knew it was Brooks Wackerman Avenged Sevenfold is the shit
"One drum that crushes all drums. I speak of course of heavy metal drums!" Tenacious D from Drum-off Finals 2011.
The D is metal
Man, they certainly have quite the stage presence. Them vocal harmonies be' massive.
Brooks Wackerman is a legend! He used to play drums in 90s for Infectious Grooves and Suicidal Tendencies, and also played in Bad Religion and now he's with Avenged Sevenfold
One of the greatest of all time!
That drummer was freakin awsome!LOVED HIS ENERGETIC PLAYING!
what makes it even better is that the set is an arrangement anyone can setup. its not super expensive or complex.
brooks is so damned good he can play anything he's challenged to. He's the drummer that ultimately replaced the great Jimmy Sullivan, and not only he lives up to the name, he's also earned a spot between the greats with his latter A7X albums
Can't help but remember Brütal Legend whenever I see Jack Black talking about the Metal.
Cristian Sosa easily one of the greatest games ever made
Love that game!! A game about heavy metal is just the best!
Just played it for the first time this month. How have I managed to sleep on it for so long?? Some of the mechanics might be a little outdated but it still played very well and was frankly a life changing game.
Jack had pretty good vocals. He's underrated. He's on key.
+Eric Lopez He's a great vocalist. The dude has done some great vocal work, live and in studio.
+Eric Lopez He's rated. Not underrated.
DaveDexterMusic underrated as a vocalist
Eric Lopez agreed
Jack Black is actually one of the best singers in rock of all time, people just dont take him seriously bcz he only does humor
Jack Black and TD have cemented themselves in the pantheon of metal gods with this song alone. A true tribute to the genre of all genres. Metal will always prevail.
Congrats Brooks Wackerman on being the drummer for Avenged Sevenfold!
Bro, Jack Black is so next level. I love him so much.
I love this version so much! The mutes on the guitar and bass, plus the heavy and fast drums, Plus Jack and Kyle's vocal harmonies, it makes "the metal" more metal than before!
Jack's got a hell of a voice..
Love Jack for wearing the Dio jacket, R.I.P metal god \m/
I love that song
Yeah and Kyle for wearing his...Pajamas?
Tenacious D is the only band in history that can melt your face off using acoustic guitars. Rock on!
Jack Black has one hell of a voice.
***** That's not a documentary, it's a movie.
I sure hope you were joking.
Sweet9964 I hope YOU were joking.
@@Sweet9964 8 years later and this comment is still stupid
i love this song and band and drummer::))
Jack back is a triple threat. Musician, comedian, actor.
Jack Black looked ravishing at The #Oscars this past Sunday but have you seen him play with Tenacious D and Brooks Wackerman at #DrumOff? #tbt
Guitar Center funny after 5 years he became the drummer of avenged sevenfold! Amazing
Excellent drums 🥁,,,excellent song too 🎶🎶🎵🎶🎶🎵👍👍✌️✌️
Brooks is such a great drummer. He really is imo the total package. The Pinball Wizard/solo from this same performance is amazing. The kit he is playing sounds incredible. I may have to go DW instead of Pearl
Drums sounds so good here. It's drum off after all but man. That's putting in perspective all drum recordings in albums.
If you listen closely, the acoustic guitar was completely off in the last part by at least a half step....which I think he finally realizes at 3:30 since he stops playing haha. Not sure if his guitar was in a different tuning or something, but it really bugged me. Anyone else hear it?
John S. Kihm true dat
yea what the fuck
the outro is played in drop D and KG's guitar is tuned to E standard
can we talk about how good their drummer is. jeez this guys is actually good
Avenged Sevenfold made a good choice.
^^^
Aquanox 19 yes
He's The Rev idol, now he replaced The Rev in drummer position
First of all, Brooks is one of the best drummers in hardcore punk.
This is fricken poetic and raw. Tenacious D for life!
One of my top 4 drummers playing a song with drums written by another one of my top 4 drummers... glorious
whenever I see Jack Black I cant help myself but only think about Nacho Libre hahahaha
1:23 - 1:30
+Xx † xX HEAVYMETAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!
aliens will come when all bow to the metal, they still think "our" pop is inferior.
Meusana ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I just lost my shit laughing at that part
OOOOOOO, I Love that part
first it feels like he's just singing some random note but after the chord change......... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The metaphorical, metaphysical meaning of this song is simple: All energy is condensed into a slow vibration. The illusion we exist in presents that vibration to us as music. Water represents blues rock. The Earth's crust represents rock music. The core represents heavy metal music.
To all you people criticizing this, you clearly don't understand satire.
Man that's a masterpiece of music
Roots of rock and roll and hard to find these days, what a gem of talent
i love the drummer in this, the energy is awesome
How he and Kage went about making a carreer I like more tbh.
They have a fantastic movie, the most awesome video game ever made and a Blizzcon 2010 performance that nothing could ever top.
They are known, loved and will be remembered for generations to come!
Brooks Wackerman is a beast. I really love this guy. My main inspiration.
THE D WILL LIVE FOREVER
awesome, great drumming!
+Faceless Band Yes it's good, but nothing compared to many metal drummers ;)
+jijst5 thank you
+jijst5 Brooks is a great drummer. he can play way more styles of music than most strictly metal drummers can. plus, the guy was in a Trash metal band (not to mention bad religion) he can play blazing fast. not everything needs blast beats to be good metal drumming.
Outrage Quitter I'm not talking 'bout fuckin' blast beats!! (Excuse me, but I really think blast beat suck really hard..) I'm talking about drummers like Mike Mangini (Dream Theather), Marco Minnemann (Aristocrats, Necrophagist), Matt Garstka (Animals as Leaders), Tomas Haake (Meshuggah).... Chris Adler (Lamb of God) and Inferno (Behemoth) are more 'traditional' fast metal drummers, but extremely skilled anyway.
+jijst5 m8, u know this drummer, brooks wackerman is the new drummer of avenged sevenfold right?...
he's fucking good, and can play alot of things including metal
These guys win so much at life.
I want that Dio jacket.
+moviechic07 She wants the D jacket!
It is a sweet jacket
It's just a normal jacket with a Dio patch on it
This gets better every time I listen to it!!
Jack Black could’ve easily became a hall of fame vocalist if he pursued music over acting.
Every version I hear of this is EPIC...thanks for the upload!
Why doesn't kyle just play electric guitar sometimes Jesus lol
i know his acoustic is literally ruining this
It’s their style. It’s just mixed horribly here by the sound engineer.
It won't work man, it's the same to tell Picasso to go digital painting...
its not ebcause its an acoustic or because its badly mixed, genius. its because Kyle played his part like SHIT xD
@@Cristopher.C The acoustic sounds fine to my guitar-untrained ear, what's wrong with how he did it?
Deam, bravo to sound engineer, who mixed it! Sounds so good for live event!
That rhythm is sick AF!
tenacious D is the only band who can just stand there and be badass
Love how Jack did the intro here!! 🤘
#awesomeWackerman 🥁
Help, I can't stop listening to this!
1:52 was epic! xD
Those drums sound great!
That drummer should play in Avenged Sevenfold.. Great skills!
he is playing for avenged sevenfold
^ Someone didn't get the joke
Miqa Trauna damn that’d be so cool dude could you imagine!
dzuqy92 r/woooosh
dzuqy92 whoooooooooosh
this drummer rocks!
Jack black is this close 👌 to being meatloaf.
Salvador Dali well, mestloaf is his father. Its not weird that they look similar
Killer Biller only in the movie lol
O rly?
Drummer played with Suicidal/Infectious Groove. ... I think he knows his Heavy Drumming, boys.
He is killing it!!!! The dude played like this when he was 15 years old, playing in the Steve Vai concept band, Bad for Good (an all, teenage heavy Rock band).
Brook Wackerman- Rock On!
this guy joined avenged sevenfold?
Popien1993 Yeah
Unfortunately
xLord Pizza why so rude?
@@RJIVHALO Because Wackerman is doing a really good job in A7X? Have you heard the drums at the start of The Stage?
@@rickard7031 so a7x is better than tenacious D?
It doesn't get much more epic than this. Awesome.
I fucking love Jack Black
I was there thats feels so long ago ! Wow that was awesome, I feel lucky
Mr. Wackerman is a machine
People that OBVIOUSLY aren’t musicians see a drummer playing fast:
HOLY SHIT HES SO GOOD HES THE BEST PLAYER ON EARTH HOLY FUCK
1:45 is nobody going to mention that when he mentioned grunge the drummer played the first part of teen spirit?
I can't imagine it, but if ANYONE HAS NOT heard Avenged Sevenfold's new album with this guy as their new drummer you MUST. Fucking awesome stuff.
Brooks Wackerman GENIUS!!!
Am I the only one who noticed the bassist got no love whatsoever? Yet killed it at this show?
Welcome to A7x
+Nour Hassoun I love Brooks (one of my favorite punk drummers) and i didnt know he was also in a thrash metal band in the past. it will be interesting to hear him pull off the Rev's old parts. Im sure he will pass with flying colors. the guy can play anything
+Outrage Quitter Nah, I want fresh air, his style, not Rev, nor arin, blends with avenged.
I feel bright future for the band.
well you certainly got that, not only can he play every previous drum part, but he has his own incredible style that he attributed to the stage, which i think is one of the reasons why the album is so great
i think you mean welcome to the family
Can't wait til Rize Of The Fenix!
1:08 Dab Jack Black Dab
Lit 😂😂😂😂😂😂👌👌👌👌💯💯💯💯
Jesus i feel so filthy
César González uwu loooool
And still the Metal holds supreme 🤘🤘
the guy with the acoustic is just chillin XD
'The guy'? It's Kyle Fucking Gass.
I don't know every name of every musician of every band ever. Sorry to let you down bud.
145DrumMaster Tenacious D and the pick of Destiny? He's not just a musician he's Kyle Fucking Gass ... but your right it does look like he's just chillin there
Lol "the guy"
Tenacious D do what they want and are cool in any place or time period haha
2:53 is so great lol
this drummer is insane!
Nice to see KG rolled out of bed for this, even if he didn’t get changed....
Jack Black. The only guy who can literally just talk on some of the lyrics and its still bad ass. But when he does yell it's still pretty rock.
Hello sweeneytv
that fill 3:16
The sound engineer of this video deserves a metal!
Holy fucking shit! Best!!!
Carmine Appice
holy crap.. those drums sound amazing....
I love jacks dio jacket :D
It is surprising how well Jack can actually sing. Like if you actually hear him foreal sing, it’s actually really good!
Wtf is KG playing? Sounds like he’s in a different key at the end there.
ya, the beginning was so good, but the end was ruined
Song is in Drop D, I think the guitar that KG was using was in standard E
It's called a harmonic discord it is two guitarists playing harmonized parts that are slightly on slightly off so it adds a more intense sound. Kinda like playing a seventh chord
It's quite ironic that the drumlines in this song are inspired by everything but Metal.
Maybe metal is inferior :O
what is it influenced by
+instantsurgery that Nirvana reference at 1:48 tho!
+Edmund Catlin I've never realized that bro
+Edmund Catlin just because he said grunge?
The drummer grooves like hell.
this very clearly isn't the guitar tone competition yuck
+James Kerr No idea what KG was doing in the last bit but it sure was funny as hell lol
I guess he forgot that the outro is played in drop D :v
is there even such thing?
z3idd I love your pfp, RHCP are my life.
@@meowdietalks1564 Californication
oh wow!!...I don't even like Heavy Metal...but this is Awesome, Jack Black the Mistro, and the Drummer!! Wow!!!....the whole band worked really well together, what A Rock Voice this amazing Actor has....Doing what he loves, Acting and Singing in a Rock BAnd!!!....
This was not heavy metal, heavy metal would be more like Pantera
its blaardy heavy metal to me...each to their own....
1:26 Jack Blackgasmic
God, those drums sound A W E S O M E!
The dio jack doh......
that chorus!!! nostalgia
OCTAGON!
Great song!
I didn't realise Stephen merchant was so good on drums
im in love with that bass drum head
I dont really like jb as an actor but man, hes a stage beast. He is way better on stage than in front of a camera
Zach Ellis i dont know, hes done some pretty good stuff acting in my opinion. But his stage presence here was way impressive, hilarious and bad ass at the same time
El mejor de todos los tiempos porfavor ese look otravez
I think KG forgot to tune down to D at the end of the song
Some people don't like the mix.....for me....loved it! It was different from the original and the engineer really let the drums and bass power through. Ya, there was a bit much acoustic guitar, but honestly he sounded good for the first half of the song as normally you can't hear that acoustic over the electric guitars.
Awesome mix IMO.....
