It’s funny that the person I think would get this the most is my mum in her 60’s. I’ll send it and with any luck she will survive the fits of laughter I had when I saw Jack Black’s split head in the last scene of this masterpiece. If she dies I’ll play this video at her funeral, as a tribute
@@ferhog7705 that's because jack black recorded a new version for this video, but obviously don't expect that it sounded anything like the original, no dude, this is just a tribute
Rei asked, "Be you angels?" implying they have an extraordinarily powerful AT field, only for Jack to respond resolutely "Nay, we are but men" Truly the chosen children of Lilith.
The fact that that "fligoo-gigoo" parts are the same even at all the live shows tells me this man wrote that whole scat part down somewhere. Total legend.
scat songs are usually actually completely written out, the famous "ievan polkka" is a great example of a deliberately gibberish sung in the same way each time
the meme of Tenacious D being a part of it aside, it's genuinely a really great mashup of various Evangelion tracks. I almost want an upload of it without the vocals.
My favorite part is still the blink-and-you-miss-it moment where TD become animated, while the Japanese voice cast show up in live action behind them. That’s one helluva deep cut. 2:53
Even if you saw those clips, you would have to see it to fully understand what is going on, I saw the series and movie twice and my deadass brain was burnt fr Dont worry man!
Honestly you can't really get too spoiled Mind you, there's no official canon or one true plot interpretation. At some point, it's all up to the way you see the show
Even when I knew what happened in End of Eva it was still just as effective after watching the series first. Don't worry about it. Even after knowing what happens, watching through the series and End of Eva at least is still worth it.
@@misbehaven1237 it also uses "she said don't make others suffer for your personal hatred" among others I think. The author (?) wrote up a document actually detailing what tracks he used an how much effort was involved which was.... a lot. Like a lot a lot. Not all of the tracks were in key, so he had to transpose them, just... a ton of work was done
It's absolutely insane that you made the first mashup, which shouldn't have worked at all and yet was a masterpiece. Now you've done it twice. I cannot wait to see what else you make.
thanks so much bruv, you've hit on my precise motivation for making this one. Tenacious Eva I was honestly so much serendipity -- the tempo and key aligned perfectly, the scene from PoD was already self-contained with a story arc as long as the song, and tons of other lucky little alignments -- that I started getting that nagging little voice in my head saying "maybe it was just a fluke, maybe it only worked because i got lucky." so i set out to make another one to prove that little voice wrong. and holy shit i got no serendipity on Tenacious Eva II, it really took some doin to get it into this shape. i made liberal use of the phrase "wow i get nuthin for free huh??" over the past three months. so i feel pretty confident in telling that little voice to fuck off.
@@camhcom dude, I don't know how you did this, but you made a mash up more epic than both of the songs, and I've seen many mash ups, but I don't think any was as well done as this
I like this rewriting of Evangelion. Jack Black and Kyle Gass impress Rei with their singing and rocking to the point that she mistakes them for angels and attacks, forcing them to fight back and kill Rei. Asuka and Shinji are sent to stop Tenacious D, but they rock too hard, creating a wormhole-like portal around Tokyo-3, which Asuka escapes but Shinji does not. Tenacious D plays their music for Shinji in their hell dimension for what feels like an eternity, causing him to go mad and initiate the third impact. Asuka manages to catch Jack Black's guitar in a massive kaiju battle, when it is revealed he has been rocking out on the Lance of Longinus this entire time. Using the lance, Asuka kills Lillith (who is taking the form of Jack Black) and halts the third impact, but she is too late to prevent humanity's fate. However, Lillith's falling body parts crush Tenacious D as they fall to earth, finally ending their song.
Don't know if the OP will see this, but this goes way beyond shitposting. This is genuinely a masterful work of art. I decided this was my favorite Tenacious/Eva mashup long before reading your Google doc, and you're right: this video was NOT a fluke. You hauled ass and it fucking paid off. Well done.
Somewhere around the 3 and a half minute mark, light just blasted out of my computer screen and baptized me in a fountain of light that made me skin burn off and my eyes roll back in my head in sheer jubilant pleasure.
This is the worst advertisement for Evagelion possible. Why watch a full anime series when it's been improved and condensed into four and a half minutes?
nice, thx. i didn't go on the last day and didn't think they'd re-replay it, did they just like leave it on in the background during a speech or something
OK the first one was a really great mashup and AMV, but this one now has me convinced that Jack Black/Tenacious D is canonically a part of the Evangelion universe. I can't wait for the next lore video. But of course, this is (not) the greatest mashup I've ever seen. _It's just a tribute_
The changing of the pronouns for the demon from he/his to she/her is such a small thing but really pulls this together. I also appreciate the rare look into the process of making a mashup. Amazing work.
Honestly, I was skeptical at first. Thought you were just cashing in on previous success. It was a once in a lifetime mash-up, you can't just recreate it. You managed to not just do it right, but to do it so well that it rivals the original. This should not have worked, but through sheer human will and artistic vision you made the impossible. This honestly may be the best UA-cam video I've ever seen. Thank you.
completely agree. i think i've watched this over 10 times within the last week lol. it's just that the orchestral elements of the nge ost mesh so well, that and the god tier editing + jack black = greatest mash up in the world.
First of all: this is one of the most glorious pieces of music conceived. Second: Not sure if anyone else has said this, but this just proves that Tenacious D needs to do a symphony paired concert just like Metallica did.
In my 10+ years of amvs going back to Linkin Park, mcr, and disturbed (and indeed, The D), this shit goes harder than anything in the history of ever. Insanely well made, friend.
This casually strolls past the stuff of 21 years and older ago too. From the Shiroi yami yoro-ka to the Evangelion Opus to the Parasite eve AMV and even strolling past some of the more well known DBZ ones. All of which were amvs I came of age watching.
I like to imagine that the pick of destiny is about as powerful as the spear of longinus and that Jack black was absolutely jamming out with two insanely powerful artifacts.
I would have never thought that I would ever say this sentence but the part where Shinji's mind is tortured by Tenacious D might just be one the most beautiful mash-ups of all time.
All the NGE tracks in this song are: -Rei I -Rei III -NERV -She said, "Don't make others suffer for your personal hatred." -SEPARATION ANXIETY -THE BEAST II
Aside from every other perfect decision made in the conception and execution of this paragon of artistic mashup expression, there are several parts of simply the audio where it makes the song feel complete. Best examples I can think of are of multiple instances of elective guitar and horns melding stunningly well and after “We are but men, ROCK” the horn progression as the guitar shreds and jack sings just culminates in what feels like the peak. That is Tribute completed. It is perfect.
that little horn fill at 2:20 has seriously ruined this song for me. i don't think i can ever listen to "tribute" on its own again. and i'm perfectly fine with that lol
Is no one gonna point out that Unit 02 is the one that threw the lance in this? Because it was Unit 00 in the show. They somehow edited 02 over 00. As if this needed to be more god-like.
An actual masterpiece, both the song and video. All the little edits you made: - Presented the start of the video to make it look like Tenacious D are discussing the entire ordeal with SEELE - Changed the "he" to "she" effortlessly - Changed the colour of Unit -01 in several scenes to blue to make it look like Rei was attacking Tenacious D - "The beast was stunned" lines up with your re-edited footage to make it look like Rei's cable is caught - Again, changed the colour of Unit 01 when the cable is being taken off - "Whip Crack went it's tail" - cable coming off - "And the beast was done" - the timer starts - Tenacious D attack Unit 0 with Ramiel's blast - Asuka and shinji move in to take down Tenacious D - Perfectly edited the progressive knife attempting to cut through the AT-Field (Octagon reference?) - Tenacious D attack with Leliel's ability - The pick of destiny edited to be adam - Tenacious D as Israfel - The most incredible, ingenious part of the video, in my opinion is in the mental attack/third impact trigger - In EoE, during third impact Misato, Rei and Asuka are represented by real human beings for a bit. As tenacious D are already shown in the video as themselves, you edited cartoon versions to contrast against their regular appearances. (200IQ edit, you're actually Einstein and I will pay you to make more). - Asuka blocks the guitar/lance of longinus - Changed the colour of Unit 01's hands to edit asuka grabbing the lance - Changed the colour of Unit 00 to red to show asuka throwing the lance - Rei has the pick of destiny playing the guitar at the end I am in marvel at your editing prowess. Fucking amazing.

@@GoodGamer360 Both Adam and Lilith are Seeds. Whether you descend from the Seed of Life or the Seed of Knowledge, any creature that descends from a Seed is technically an "angel", hence why humans can be considered, as a whole, as the 18th Angel.

As someone who avoided EVA for most my life because I thought the memes spoiled everything and only saw it 3 years ago because a friend pushed me, I can confirm your statement to be true.
I'm comfortable enough not finishing it after seeing all the memes and other stuff over the years with how much suffering the characters go through.. I think I saw the 3 second line comment if it's after a song but it didn't change my mind about the overall series.
@@imyou5622 to expand: it's a phrase that's really tricky to translate literally into English, because like a lot of Japanese it's incredibly contextual, and thus without any context it becomes highly ambiguous in meaning (which is the point). In this particular case there's been some pretty heated debate about how exactly it should be translated (although from what I've seen, "how disgusting" is generally agreed on as being the best approximation)
Combining the trumpets from Evangelion with the guitar from Tenacious D makes the whole song sound very Mexican Like, the greatest Mariachi band in the world
Dude. As NGE being my very first and still my second favorite anime to date, AND symphonic rock / metal being my favorite genre by a MILE, this is like I just randomly found the holy grail in the internet. Holy shit man. Instant sub.

OK the first one was a really great mashup and AMV, but this one now has me convinced that Jack Black/Tenacious D is canonically a part of the Evangelion universe. I can't wait for the next lore video. But of course, this is (not) the greatest mashup I've ever seen.
_It's just a tribute_
Seeing JB’s giant half-face a the end made me laugh so hard I dissolved into primordial soup.

Yeah it’s pretty late so I kind of had to hold it in
The changing of the pronouns for the demon from he/his to she/her is such a small thing but really pulls this together. I also appreciate the rare look into the process of making a mashup. Amazing work.
I didnt even notice it was changed!!
of course she has blue hair and pronouns
@@miya1285 Congrats on having very poor reading comprehension skills! 🎉🎉🎉
@@miya1285Of course it’s a certified classic, just like the best song in the world.
@@miya1285 Relax, this is the one time that the word "pronounce" isn't being used in a cringe way.
Honestly, I was skeptical at first. Thought you were just cashing in on previous success. It was a once in a lifetime mash-up, you can't just recreate it. You managed to not just do it right, but to do it so well that it rivals the original. This should not have worked, but through sheer human will and artistic vision you made the impossible. This honestly may be the best UA-cam video I've ever seen. Thank you.
It's not the greatest mash up in the world. It's just a tribute.
This is actually the greatest comment chain in the world tho
no, it's just a tribute.
Gave me goosebumps so yea. The best youtube video I can remember ever seeing.
completely agree. i think i've watched this over 10 times within the last week lol. it's just that the orchestral elements of the nge ost mesh so well, that and the god tier editing + jack black = greatest mash up in the world.
This video feels like Scott Pilgrim if it was made by H.P. Lovecraft.
underrated comment
Give it a few more months, it might blpw up then.
*Why* are you right though?
That's Evangelion for ya.
@@SSD_Penumbra Evangelion is Gundam if it was written by Sigmund Freud
I accept this as an alternate timeline in the story.
You mispelled "Canon" ahahahaha!
Eva is one of those stories that acknowledges alternate timelines so technically anything is canon
For me, this is the new primary canon
Makes just as much sense.
2:30 - 2:55 is the lead up to the greatest moment in this entire mashup trilogy
It’s not even the greatest moment, it’s just a tribute
Everybody goes crazy about the "She" thing, but I just want to tell you how smoothly you mixed the original OST with the D
Not Alpharius
2:50
Agreed
It's just the Carson daily show version of the song that he used to mix with
The video is insane too. The bit where Asuka tries to stab them and they have an AT Field is amazing.
It's not always easy slipping in the D.
@@nate3487 yeah the montage is just flawless
First of all: this is one of the most glorious pieces of music conceived.
Second: Not sure if anyone else has said this, but this just proves that Tenacious D needs to do a symphony paired concert just like Metallica did.
No man, this is just a tribute.
Who would win?

@@kyleguajardo they failed, as they were thrown to the ground

Fortunately i understand and survive all of it
I died after reading this comment
Oh my God you're right
In my 10+ years of amvs going back to Linkin Park, mcr, and disturbed (and indeed, The D), this shit goes harder than anything in the history of ever. Insanely well made, friend.
I've liked amvs all my life, but this is where everything concludes.
Nothing else reaches this level, this is it's own thing.
This casually strolls past the stuff of 21 years and older ago too. From the Shiroi yami yoro-ka to the Evangelion Opus to the Parasite eve AMV and even strolling past some of the more well known DBZ ones. All of which were amvs I came of age watching.
This is definitely peak! However I wish other metal bands got more AMVs like Rotting Christ, Metallica, and others.
and just remenber, this doesnt sound likie the better song in the world, this is just a tibute, i cant imagine how it sonunded
I've been watching AMVs since 2003. This... is a new benchmark of quality for the genre.
I like to imagine that the pick of destiny is about as powerful as the spear of longinus and that Jack black was absolutely jamming out with two insanely powerful artifacts.
That's probably it because in this universe the pick of destiny replaced the adam embryo
He just put strings in that spear, a humbuck, pluged and doom was at our door
The spear can't even compare to the pick
A mashup so goated that the original sounds inferior to this now. I literally can't hear the OG without thinking of one note from thjs masterpiece
god im hooked on jack and kyle torturing the cast of evangelion
same
Yep
Tenacious D is going to cause the fifth impact.
@@animecrunchtime *_Fifth?!_*
This is (not) the greatest AMV in the world, it's just a Tribute.
The channel who shouted "ROCK" at heart of the world
I would have never thought that I would ever say this sentence but the part where Shinji's mind is tortured by Tenacious D might just be one the most beautiful mash-ups of all time.
1:53 that drop is literally holy. The song paired with the Evangelion soundtrack makes this a godsend.
All the NGE tracks in this song are:
-Rei I
-Rei III
-NERV
-She said, "Don't make others suffer for your personal hatred."
-SEPARATION ANXIETY
-THE BEAST II
thanks,i was looking for this
I almost want to hear the version of this without the Tenacious D mixed in cause it seems like a solid mix of the OST tracks in itself.
@@getschwifty5537 yeah he nailed the flow , the result is amazing
jez 6 songs in one tribute, just epic
Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
Aside from every other perfect decision made in the conception and execution of this paragon of artistic mashup expression, there are several parts of simply the audio where it makes the song feel complete. Best examples I can think of are of multiple instances of elective guitar and horns melding stunningly well and after “We are but men, ROCK” the horn progression as the guitar shreds and jack sings just culminates in what feels like the peak. That is Tribute completed. It is perfect.
I didn't fully appreciate that until reading ur comment!!! what a great moment :)
I actually forgot I was listening to a mashup because they melded so well
that little horn fill at 2:20 has seriously ruined this song for me. i don't think i can ever listen to "tribute" on its own again. and i'm perfectly fine with that lol
1:12
For me THIS part ruins Tribute, as that slow crescendo of strings gives me *CHILLS*
Excellent mashup/vid for sure. Comment is a little pedantic lol
this is the greatest edit of all time
the edit changing the demon’s pronouns to she was CLEAN too oh my god
Some people had so much time in 2020
Is no one gonna point out that Unit 02 is the one that threw the lance in this? Because it was Unit 00 in the show. They somehow edited 02 over 00. As if this needed to be more god-like.
@@dankasscrow6121 Just... Wait for unit 02 to throw the lance. It's not that hard.
Holy shit that was an awesome detail!
Timestamp is 3:42
He also edited it so that Unit 02 catches it earlier instead of being destroyed by it. This video is godly

Fugue against a demon with japanese subtitles, neat
There's also a part where Asuka swears and they actually put a german swearword from that period in there. Peak work
2:45 this might've been the greatest beatdrop in the world holy shit
It’s not the greatest beat drop, it’s just a tribute to the greatest beat drop
An actual masterpiece, both the song and video.
All the little edits you made:
- Presented the start of the video to make it look like Tenacious D are discussing the entire ordeal with SEELE
- Changed the "he" to "she" effortlessly
- Changed the colour of Unit -01 in several scenes to blue to make it look like Rei was attacking Tenacious D
- "The beast was stunned" lines up with your re-edited footage to make it look like Rei's cable is caught
- Again, changed the colour of Unit 01 when the cable is being taken off
- "Whip Crack went it's tail" - cable coming off
- "And the beast was done" - the timer starts
- Tenacious D attack Unit 0 with Ramiel's blast
- Asuka and shinji move in to take down Tenacious D
- Perfectly edited the progressive knife attempting to cut through the AT-Field (Octagon reference?)
- Tenacious D attack with Leliel's ability
- The pick of destiny edited to be adam
- Tenacious D as Israfel
- The most incredible, ingenious part of the video, in my opinion is in the mental attack/third impact trigger - In EoE, during third impact Misato, Rei and Asuka are represented by real human beings for a bit. As tenacious D are already shown in the video as themselves, you edited cartoon versions to contrast against their regular appearances. (200IQ edit, you're actually Einstein and I will pay you to make more).
- Asuka blocks the guitar/lance of longinus
- Changed the colour of Unit 01's hands to edit asuka grabbing the lance
- Changed the colour of Unit 00 to red to show asuka throwing the lance
- Rei has the pick of destiny playing the guitar at the end
I am in marvel at your editing prowess. Fucking amazing.
There is also a hidden story in yt text thing
The video is a work of art. And your comment shows how. Cheers.

Just the
'fliggld giggle" over Shinji having a straight up break down is perfection
"She asked us be you angel?" "and we said nay we are but man"
Joke on you JB, Humanity is the 18th angel
Humanity are sons of Lilith, angels are sons of Adan, ergo, humanity can't be angels.
@@GoodGamer360 Both Adam and Lilith are Seeds. Whether you descend from the Seed of Life or the Seed of Knowledge, any creature that descends from a Seed is technically an "angel", hence why humans can be considered, as a whole, as the 18th Angel.
@@VictorbrineSC It's also why Lilim don't have tangible AT fields, because it's spread over the entirety of the species. It's a cell wall as opposed to an exoskeleton.
We get it, the plot to this show sucks anus.
No, Jack Black is the 18th Angel
The best part about Eva spoilers is that you are so confused you don't even register it as spoilers
As someone who avoided EVA for most my life because I thought the memes spoiled everything and only saw it 3 years ago because a friend pushed me, I can confirm your statement to be true.
A 3 second line can change the entire final act of Evangelion. This is my Canon now anyways.
Lol truth
I'm comfortable enough not finishing it after seeing all the memes and other stuff over the years with how much suffering the characters go through.. I think I saw the 3 second line comment if it's after a song but it didn't change my mind about the overall series.
Must've missed an episode or something cuz although I finished the series, there are some parts in this that I don't remember seeing
20 million years of evolution
Just for this
And it was worth every second.
What a time to be alive
Well, not really 20 million years, more like 4 billion...
worth it
Lilith would be proud of us
The guitar turning into the spear of longinus is so fucking genius, it kills me every time xD
"And the beast was stunned"
Cuts to Rei being emotionless as usual
I LOLed
Even better, the subtitle of Rei being emotionless reads "The apathy of a cold fish."
I first read this as "the beast was stoned" and I couldn't help but think that was accurate.
translating 気持ち悪い as "feels bad man" is the bravest thing I have ever seen
Love how in japanese is キムチ・ワルイージ
Best part is, it's kinda accurate to how the phrase is used in Japan.
What does it actually mean?
I'm You The official translation is: Disgusting
@@imyou5622 to expand: it's a phrase that's really tricky to translate literally into English, because like a lot of Japanese it's incredibly contextual, and thus without any context it becomes highly ambiguous in meaning (which is the point). In this particular case there's been some pretty heated debate about how exactly it should be translated (although from what I've seen, "how disgusting" is generally agreed on as being the best approximation)
I’m going to tell my kids this was Evangelion rebuild.
Much better than the real thing too
LMFAO!!!
3:30 had me howling. What a masterpiece.
This is so smooth!
“WE ARE BUT MEN” is a line meant for this series
They are butt men?
100%. Considering Man is the 13th Angel....
I got chills when he asked, “bE yOu aNgeLS??” cause i knew it was comin up
@@tommatzz I could totally imagine Touji and Kensuke proudly declaring this whilst observing their female classmates during Gym class.
I want to believe that Jack Black and Kyle actually encountered Rei in the middle of nowhere to write this song
They singlehandedly convinced her to cancel instrumentality
This is not the song, this is just a tribute
@@chistinelane She learned to love not through Shinji, but through THE POWER OF _ROCK!_
Plot twist: They met her like 5 minutes after they met the demon from the original music video
I just love the how the kick lines up with the thrusters at 1:48
I keep coming back to these songs because they are unironically some of my favorites to listen to. Thank you so much for these
Man I wish they had these songs on Spotify cuz I would genuinely put it on my playlist
Guys I’m begging you to turn on subtitles lmao. “Butt men?”
3:14 It's true they are Butt men
This works way to well
So when's "You can (not) kill the metal"?
It should be the last one of the saga.
No One That Special nah, that’s gotta be “We are (not) the D.”
I second this
@@jorgetrevino8040 that's fair.

Still can’t believe the amount of pure fucking passion in this video, like holy shit. This unironically is one of my favorite videos on this site. Maybe even the best. Or at least a tribute.
This is absolutely nuts. Reading through the doc, it looks a bit like you're a perfectionist. Just don't be harsh on yourself, you've got a lot of skills. And all those programs aren't easy tools, they take time to learn.
Hopefully this blows up, this is the best mashup i've heard so far.
1. This mashup is amazing.
2. The video makes it even better.
3. The editing is perfection.
4. I still have no idea wtf is going on.
