- In this video, I react for the first time to A MOVIE! “The Pick Of Destiny” by Jack Black’s Tenacious D. I analyse the incredibly… exhilarating musical performances, explain and demonstrate the featured vocal techniques and I'll tell you what I think made it so great. I love a good blend of rock, singing and comedy! This was a jolly good time indeed.

Not recognizing Meatloaf might just be the part of this reaction I was most amused by. "Actually a suppressed rockstar" was really endearing. Love you Lolli!
I Vote for Paradise by the dashboard light for her next reaction ;) ua-cam.com/video/C11MzbEcHlw/v-deo.html
So many miss that meatloaf is jack's muse and inspiration for so much of what he does! :)
Came in the comments, but in a different way. Meatloaf was a crucial part of shaping rock in the 70's and 80's. I mean rock anthems that are still played at weddings to this day. "Let me sleep on it, I'll give you an answer in the morning." That's Meatloaf! If that doesn't ring a bell, he played a heavy chested man in fight club. You should check him out @The Fairy Voice Mother. This was so much fun to watch... Oh, btw. You brought it up so I think you might enjoy it. Tenacious D did a cover of hit me baby 1 more time. A really short cover, but if you enjoy it, maybe you could make it longer by reacting to a bunch of their covers... Pinball wizard and wicked games
Yes, but she's the only person thus far to recognize the Nirvana riff at the end of the opening number.
True true
Can we all agree that Meat Loaf was freaking awesome?
One of the best rock baritenors in history.
Yep. RIP.
I love that it seems like he's just spent the last couple decades occasionally showing up to do whatever he thinks would be fun or funny. This, Fight Club, he did an episode of South Park at one point. Just seems like a fun guy enjoying life.
Even though I lived a similar experience like young JB; with an over-bearing religious father, every time I see his part in the song come up I am just brimming with excitement. like "Yay! Meatloaf!"
said no to the covid vaccine, dead!
Not only was that actually Dio in the opening song, but his father was played by Meatloaf. Not just a suppressed rock star, but another actual rock legend. There's a video of Dio singing his part and Jack being in awe of him. Then Dio actually asked if there was more for him to do, because he really liked the project. Side note: Kickapoo is a real town. IDK if there's one in Missouri or not, but there is one up in Wisconsin for sure, as well as a Kickapoo river.
And there is video of Dio singing this whole bit in 1 take :D
I don't remember where I heard/read this, but Dio supposedly brought his own mic, and the studio crew said not to worry about that because they had everything ready for them. He began to do his part and blew out their mic. He apologized and explained that this is why he brings his own gear, and they had to redo the part with Dio's mic.
I heard the same. Can't confirm if its true, but I'd believe it. XD
There is a video on UA-cam about it 😊
God bless Meat Loaf and Ronnie James Dio❤🤟🥹
Kickapoo is possibly the greatest opening scene from any comedy movie! RIP RJD.
RIP Meatloaf as well
Kickapoo and the South Park movie opener “quiet mountain town”… both tied for greatest for me
The 4 droogies were a cameo from the film Clockwork Orange and in that film mostly cockney accents.
>Nadsat is English with some borrowed words from Russian. It also contains influences from Cockney rhyming slang, the King James Bible, German, some words of unclear origin and some that Burgess invented.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nadsat
If it were a Cameo then the actual actors from the movie would've done it. This is "just" a reference!
2:58 "There seems to be some continuity between him and his dad's voice, so it's kinda like... dad, I got this from you." Incredibly flattering towards actual Jack Black since the dad in this scene is straight up Meatloaf.
Also, the part where they don't remember the song they played at the end of the movie is what leads to "Tribute" which was part of their self titled album in 2001.
BTW, those side beard things are called "Sideburns" in honor of Union Army General Ambrose Everett Burnside (May 23, 1824 - September 13, 1881) His spectacular growth of whiskers became known as "sideburns", deriving from the two parts of his surname.
Those specifically were sideburns known as Mutton Chops
The British gang that find him on the bench is a reference to A Clockwork Orange.
Yeah it's a clear reference XD I guess she haven't seen it...
Regarding the 'demonization of cockneys' 😉
The masked goons are a Clockwork Orange reference, who in that movie speak a strange blend of English/Russian slang called Nadsat - with the obligatory Cockney accents 🤣🤣🤣
hey, she had probably gone a full day without being offended, let her have it.
The winner of the Finnish version of The Voice as few years back auditioned with Master Exploder from this movie.
36:30 Dave Grohl plays Satan
There's a funny story regarding Dio's part in the Movie. Dio brought his own microphone but Jack Black told him not to use it because they already had some. Dio warned them and fried their microphone on the first take. They then used his microphone.
This ☝️🤘
And of course the one legged dude is Tim Robbins, you know, Andy from Shawshank Redemption.
it took me a couple years after this came out before I realized that was Tim Robbins myself. Easy to miss, but hilarious he was in the movie.
One song you should check out after now having watched this and tribute is
"The ballad of Hollywood jack and the rage cage"
It's basically a song of everything that happened after this. Jack's fame in Hollywood, how they drifted and Kyle went down hill while jack kept rising, and how they reunited and Jack brought Kyle back up.
Rize of the Fenix is such an underrated album, there's some absolute certified bangers
It blows my mind that the kid who played baby Jables Black is Barry from The Goldbergs
Big Tasty!
Omg, I had not a clue! 😂
Highly recommend a documentary done by Dave Grohl called Sound City. It's about the studio of the same name in Van Nuys, LA. When the studio closed Grohl bought the sound board, and had it moved up to his home studio in Seattle. He decided to do a look back at all the legendary albums recorded at Sound City (including Nevermind by Nirvana) while at the same time asking the artist to his home to record new songs on that old sound board.
The Cockney guys at the start is a reference to the movie A Clockwork Orange.
As for Dave, he can play any instrument and sing. The first Foo Fighters album was made by him and him alone, he wrote and played all instruments and did the vocals.
And so did he do for this movie play the instruments you see him play and sing the vocals you see him sing.
Tenacious D opened for Foo Fighters at festivals for a while and Dave has played the drums at some of Tenacious D shows.
The most wholesome rockers in the world (Kyle, JB and Dave) are also the most wholesome friends in rock.
thank you...
If you don’t know about it Dave Grohl did a record called Probot which was him doing most of the instrumentation and his favourite vocalists singing. Lemmy, Lee Dorian etc.
They both are actually singing and playing guitar. Jack black is good but Kyle Gass is a really great player👌🏼🔥
Thanks for doing this fairy, honestly not enough reactions to this masterpiece of a movie. Keep up the good work!
The cockney gang is a reference to the movie "A Clockwork Orange". The music cue when they showed up is also from the movie
Okay, I LOVE THIS. Please do more reactions to musical films. You’re the best, Lollipop!!
Michael Angelo Batio plays ambidextrous doubleneck guitars like that, for lack of a better description. he even has one with 4 necks in an x shape, the strap button is mounted to a bearing or something and he'll spin the whole thing 180 degrees and switch to the other 2 necks. they're not a common thing, but they are a real thing
I bought my Jeep WJ from his cousin back in '08, which is the only time I've heard of him... he showed me videos of him playing some crazy guitars.
He did have the same last name, so might have been his cousin.
I thought of that as soon as I saw that guitar.
TheDooo plays one as well in some of the videos on his channel.
Also Stevie vai
Yay!!! So happy you are checking this out. I can't believe more music reactors have not done this.
SCHOOL OF ROCK is a must JACK BLACK MOVIE! 🤞✌
You absolutely HAVE to review Spinal Tap!!!!
Masterpiece
I'm really influenced by Mozart and Bach and this is sort of inbetween, it's like a Mach piece really.
@@genjimm :-D Just brilliant!!
9:24 'the demonization of cockneys' It's from 'A Clockwork Orange', Burgess' famous 1962 novel adapted into a mega-famous Kubrick 1971 film adaptation. Nominated for 4 Oscars and 7 British Academy Awards. Crazy. Grotesque. Try it?
But they didn't speak cockney, they spoke Nadsat
So fun fact: I have a replica Pick Of Destiny. It has only ever been used when my band covered Master Exploder from this movie
Like others mention, the mockumentary "Spinal Tap" would be an obvious choice to react to
It will also come with a few "Oh, did that rock term come from here" -moments - especially if you have ever played Guitar Hero :)
Ben has a Dio wig on its unmistakable 😂 It was amazing going to the movies with Lolli ...😊❤❤
For the expression you made when you recognized Dio, you made my day. Why not make another video on another of his performances? Love your channel. 😍🤘🏻
4:36 you just watched pure epicness at it´s best with MeatLoaf, Ronnie james Dio and Jack black in about one piece of musical art....
I can essentially recite this movie. Its amazing
"It's very nirvana this guitar part" she says as the guy on drums is FROM nirvana lol
Fun fact - young JB grew up to be Big Tasty on The Goldbergs!
What ???
I like the guests who played small parts. They were awesome. But I liked Tim Robbins part too. But I didn't see anyone comment that he was in the movie too. The Stranger, with no leg. In the trench coat. Ya, him. That was Tim Robbins. This movie is always good for a laugh. I'm glad that you saw it also. Thanks for sharing this with us.
21:59 "were going to pause it there cause i have to go teach a lesson"
22:03 "I'm back it only took me 4 weeks"
Good God that's one hell of a lesson, how do i find a teacher this dedicated?
Awesome Lolli. The fact you committed to the whole movie and did a reaction, i might have fallen in love!! No matter how many times i listen to the D it still cracks me up. You just have to get through their albums now.
The Reaction of Destiny! I was waiting something like this for years!
Comment not related to this video - although I did watch it and enjoyed it. ( but also because I've seen POD several times and always find it stupidly hilarious . . :) ) But anyway - I just happened upon an interview that you did a few years ago on another channel called Video Husky.
I've been a subscriber to this channel for a couple of years now and after watching that interview . . . I like you even more now. :) You're last two video's - The Johnny Cash cover and the most recent one "I can't decide"
This was a fun review, thanks for doing this!
Also when they went upstairs to get the pick, that was the “stairway to heaven”!
** guitarway to heaven, actually. :)
A story I had heard about the Dio part he brought his own mic cause he didn't think the mic they had would work. They had him use the one they had and he blew it out and they switched to the one he used
I would love to see you analyze Sweeney Todd with Johnny Depp, so many good songs and good performances in that movie. A lot of actors you didn't know could sing really can sing.
When Ronnie showed up to record his parts for this he blew the studio mic his first take. Good thing he brings his own mic for that very reason ;) he then nailed it all in 1 take and stated later that he wanted to do more because he found it quite fun RIP to such a great presence in music
An awesome watch is Play by Dave Grohl which is a 23 minute song where he plays every instrument. So he records the full playthrough on one instrument then does another 23 minute play through on a different instrument etc. Its 7 instruments including Piano, which he admits he doesn't (normally) play. He doesn't read music so he had to memorise all 23 minutes for each of the 7 instruments.
Lolli!!!! i love the hair you look amazing!!! and Jack Black is brilliant!
You noticed the obvious Dio as Dio and as well, Ben Stiller as the Guitar Center clerk, Dave Grohl as Satan, but ...
There are also other noteworthy parts and cameos, some of which are not mentioned in the credits:
The Dad in the beginning is played by Meat Loaf.
The "creepy Russian dude" is played by Tim Robbins.
The Sasquatch is played by John C. Reilly.
One of the young women in the audience is played by Amy Adams.
The waitress at the truck stop is played by Amy Poehler.
A drunk Guy is played by Colin Hanks.
The kid that plays JB (Troy Gentile) also plays him in Nacho Libre🤣🤣 He is Jack Blacks Mini Me. Also, items like that in museums tend to have alarms attached to them.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, this movie is an absolute masterpiece and has one of the greatest openings in all of cinema. Meatloaf and Dio sending a young Jack Black on his way is LEGENDARY
LOVED this vid great stuff!
Great reaction, Jack Black is incredible!
Side note... You really need to check out Stargazer by Dio, as you mentioned that you've only heard Holy Diver so far.
Hi Lolli! Please, you've got to check out Viviane Donner belting out 'The Great Gig in the Sky.' It’s absolutely mind-blowing! She’s a Brazilian gem with a voice to die for!
Underrated movie probably made a 100 bucks but I dug it!!
I've enjoyed a millon reactions on this channel and thought this day will never come. but it finally did. I wish there was another Tenacious D movie like this one, but we can't be greedy, there's already a "best song in the world" already. Thanks for giving us such a great reaction and enoying the movie as we all did ♥
This made my night so much better. I enjoyed watching her watch this movie😂
Dio's part with the lyric "Where the city of fallen angels" and that note is a major ASMR trigger for me.
Jack Blacks love for music is even more obvious in school of rock. Give it a go!
Yes, Kickapoo is the name of a real town in the United States. There are actually several places named Kickapoo in different states, including Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, and Wisconsin. The name "Kickapoo" comes from the Kickapoo Native American tribe, which historically inhabited parts of the Midwest and the southern United States.
Of course, in reality, although Jack Black was raised Jewish, his family were not overly religious, he didn't run away from home and he grew up in Culver City, California.
I always loved Phantom of the Paradise because Jessica Harper does a tremendous job performing the most 70's song to ever 70's. I'd recommend reacting to it, it's very fun.
Phantom of the Paradise is a classic. Awesome soundtrack, I have it on vinyl.
You had the best reaction to Dio out of anyone who's reacted to this song. That right there puts you so much above the rest
That was great lolli. Loved it!
I absolutely love this movie. I never knew about Tenacious D until the movie, I just thought it was just another Jack Black movie. I can't wait to see your reactions to the movie!
I have to say. I'm a Londoner, and the fact they made the orcs in The Lord of the Rings sound like characters from a Guy Ritchie film made it very funny.
I am so glad you did this.
RIP the Loaf of Meat
Loli might need to React to some of his work... or Rocky Horror...
I love listening to your reactions. Amazing
20:48 The guitar is a double necked guitar. If you want to see someone playing that monstrosity, Michael Angelo Batio shreds on it. Go check out that video: Michael Angelo Batio Double Guitar Solo.
He played a quad guitar version too.
Saw Anna's reaction to "I Can't Decide" yesterday. Enjoyed her review, but really enjoyed your singing and the cinematography.
RIP MEATLOAF... an excellent choice for an actor, playing his father..
Beelzeboss is my favorite karaoke song to perform and, in conjunction with a certain Stephen Lynch song, is the song that won me my first ever karaoke contest. :D
That was great!! More movie reactions, please… Spinal Tap? Rocky Horror? Yew Rawk!!
School of Rock? Rock Star (or was it called Steel Dragon?)
Rocky horror 100%
Him praying to an artist called "Dio" is sort of cute, but as a metal fan, it is absolutely perfect.
I am VERY excited about this.
Love this movie! And your reactions were hilarious 😂
There's two movies I love that changed my life perseption of things in Many ways, Repo:The Genetic Opera, and Immortal Beloved, the second one is not that much of a musical as repo, but is the life and legacy of the Maestro Beethoven.
In the bts there's footage of Dio recording his part and being like "did you want another take?", and everyone is like "Nope, you got it."
27:09 - Funny thing is Tenacious D recently did a cover of this very song!!! lol 36:28 - Dave Grohl, drummer of Nirvana and lead singer/guitarist of Foo Fighters/Dream Widow. He played every instrument and sang on the first Foo Fighters album!
20:44 That guitar is most likely a nod to Michael Angelo Batio, who is known for playing a similar double neck guitar (and also a four-neck one, as if two wasn't ridiculous enough). He currently plays with Manowar.
Thanks, fun movie. The ' Tenacious D - Baby One More Time ' video. These guys are just awesome.
You need to listen to some Meatloaf!
Bat out of Hell
Paradise by the Dashboard Light
Dead Ringer for love (with classic 'rock' Cher)
For Crying out Loud (my personal favourite)
_Edit:_ listen to the album version of *For Crying out Loud* , i've never found a decent live version
Original Sin
Edit: Add Wasted Youth/Everything Louder Than Everything Else
JEFF was HERE 🏆
You should also check Tenacious D Live. The battle with the devil doesn't have Dave Ghrol, but it is still awesome.
@TeIe_handle_FairyVoiceMother. That can be arranged.
This and sweeney todd(johnny depp) were/are the only musicals i genuinely enjoyed. Glad there's still people who can experience this masterpiece for the first time!.
Beatles "Why don't we do it in the road." is like a ad lib soundtrack.
💓 I genuinely got chills in anticipation of her recognizing Dio. 💓
🎉 _Did_
🎉 _Not_
🎉 _Disappoint_ 🥳
Things that _did_ disappoint:
▪ Missed Meatloaf. (that was hilarious, climaxing in "suppressed rockstar" 🎉)
▪ Missed "A Clockwork Orange", went off on "Cockney-Pride" rant. Too funny. 🎉
▪ Lack of respect for Satan. (Just watched a Jimmy Page/Aleister Crowley documentary this morning. A _C_ onsummate _C_ onflation of _C_ oincidence, _C_ orrelation, and _C_ ausality. Also, see Jack Black's intro to Led Zeppelin at the Kennedy Center, wherein he thanks Zeppelin for selling their souls so that humanity might "cherish their heavenly jams".)
▪ Contempt for the "D", and by "D", I mean JB's... errr... manly hydraulics, which he has the supreme capacity to summon with great focus, at times of dire need. Tsk tsk. Young women these days. No respect for "Roxic Masculinity". 🐔🤘
▪ Missed the _actual_ theme of the movie:
🎸 " *Rock* *is* *not* *the* *Devils* *work* !
🎸 *Its* *Magickal* *and* *rad* ! 🧙♂🪄
I don't think I've ever been so overwhelmed with excitement on UA-cam as when I saw the link for this video. My deepest desire... had been fulfilled.
🟣 _This_ reactor.
🔴 Watching _this_ movie.
⚪ At _this_ time.
Selling my soul for a reaction?
It was totally worth it.
You can buy that pick. As a matter of fact they use to be packaged with each copy of the movie.
I loved your reaction to seeing Dio 😅
2:31 - A little surprising that a vocal coach doesn't seem to be recognizing Meatloaf, one of the premier rockers of the 70s and 80s, as JB's dad.
3:49 - He's not a personal Jesus, he's a ROCK GOD!
4:25 - Dio recorded his line in one take. You can find video of it on UA-cam. Legend says that it was technically two takes, but Dio's first try destroyed the studio's microphone, so they had to use the one he brought with him. PS- I love how your reactions mimic JBs.
5:20 - The same actor played young Jack Black in Nacho Libre as well. He grew up to play Barry Goldberg on The Goldbergs.
8:20 - One of the many underappreciated aspects of Jack Black's talent is his massive vocal range.
9:13 - This scene is a reference to Stanly Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange (and also to Karate Kid).
31:04 -'Death' lasers, no, but lasers that trigger security alarms, yes.
31:30 - Yeeah... This is the one scene in this movie I can't bring myself to watch.
36:18 - It ought to. That's Dave Grohl, drummer of Nirvana and founder of The Foo Fighters. He also played the demon in the music video for Tenacious D's song 'Tribute.'
38:15 - You got it.
41:54 - You know you're Metal when you can make Satan pull a Dr. Claw.
43:12 - Although the original implication of 'Tribute' was that 'The Greatest Song in the World' was Led Zepplin's 'Stairway to Heaven,' this movie, as you picked up, implies that 'Tribute' is actually talking about this story. It works, too, because 'Tribute' WAS the song that allowed the D to pay their rent.
I only recently found your channel and you've quickly become my favorite vocal coach by far (ok, maybe tied with Julia). I see you have already done most of the absolute essentials...Johnny Cash - Hurt, Tool - Sober Live, Pentatonix - Hallelujah, Disturbed - Sound of Silence, Jinjer - Pisces, etc etc. but you have one giant gaping hole in your library. O'keefe Music Foundation's kids cover of Tool 46 and 2. Please, thank you, and you're welcome.
when i watched this movie i watched it so many times. yet also i did not know who meat loaf was. but even back then i knew a song from him. "i´d do anything for love - meat loaf" that song is still so good. definetly a reaction worth :)
Blues Brothers would be a cool one to watch you react to
I love how Jack Black has aged so much now that you didn't recognise him on the bus 😂😂
Also Devil Dave Grohl just makes the ending!
Tenacious D are lovers of Black Sabbath and I'd love to see you react to Charles Bradley's cover of "Changes" by Black Sabbath. The live version especially.
Musical suggestion: romance and cigarettes. Band movie suggestions: the commitments, Eddie & The cruisers.
This was a fun reaction, enjoyed thoroughly
There are so many movies with great music, like Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping, Bo Burnham's Inside (pretty much everything he makes), Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, This is Spinal Tap, I know there's more I just can't think of more right now (reply if you can think of others).
Thanks for all the great reaction videos!
A little bit of trivia for you when Dio went to record his verse he destroyed the microphone from the power of his voice so he had to bring his own with him
I haven't seen this since highschool, and i totally forgot that Tim Robbins made a cameo.😅
I've probably seen this more times than any other movie. Absolute classic.
Fun fact the microphone's they had kept getting destroyed by Dio's voice and he had to bring in his own mic just so he didn't break theirs
