"... harms KG, my friend and me!" "Yeah." Kage is the master of the right timing for the most laconic syllables. And you simply gotta love young, hyperactive Jables.
Interesting to see how the song developed over time. With Jack singing and acting like he's stoned you see the original comedy intentions of the song much clearer than in the album version, which rocks so hard it can't be as funny. The swing between the chilled "What's the name of this song" and screaming "EXPOSIVO", then back to chill again, is hilarious.
Rrrrung gu gu gun gun, Rung gu gu gun gun, Rung gu gu gun gun GOW! Gi go gee, gi gi gi go gee gi gi goo, riggo giggo giggo ri gee goo Ri go gee, gi gi gi go gee gi gi goo, riggo giggo giggo Gooo Stabbing you with my Bowie while im nakid Painted from head to toe and so arouuuused. Ooooh.
A dark time for the D. They wrote that song when they realized the devil only paid for one month of rent which they were already behind on and sadly were forced to visit the place that all musicians dread. The pawn shop. But did they quit? Hell no. Guitars? Who the f___ needs em? We're the D. And we're nothing if not tenacious. We can write a masterpiece without guitars. And at that very moment, they hear a honk from behind. And that, my friends is why, you'll no longer see JB play his beloved black, double horned, cryptic symbols, rock crown special. Legend has it that it was bought by some kid who didn't stick with it and eventually got into RC car racing and moved to Anaheim. He saw the trailer for Pick of Destiny, thought it might be good but never went to see it and thus never realized what he had. And so the guitar awaits it's master as its master awaits his axes reemergence. Forever passing each other in the night. The RC car kid left it at his grandmother's house in LA. Jack doesn't know it but he's driven right passed it, within feet of it, hundreds of times, as is the nature of the world. For, it never fails a chance to exercise irony. I bet you're wondering right now how the world is exercising irony on you. Isn't that right Brian. Yes, you Brian. I'm talking to you specifically. I bet that freaked out anyone who read that and who happened to be named Brian.
I think jb really hates bowie. Cause they always get that song suggested during concerts and jack starts telling the story, then before they play it, jb just gets bummed out and stops.
man i think i saw like a dozen performances of explosivo a couple of years ago... late night shows and whatnot. and i'm pretty sure i saw them all on youtube - and now they seem to be gone -_- but at least they leave this one up... IMO possibly the most important recording anyway because it is so early into their career...
Jack brings the juice and Kage brings his rockin' sauce. Epic! Plus.. when they play guitar at the same time... People's heads fucking explode!! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
I would instantly buy an entire album of Kyle and Jack harmonizing.
kage literalyl looks the exct same as today lol
Except for the beard
d4m4s74 No shit, asshat.
Alan Chung It was a perfectly reasonable response, you shithead.
@Ted Wilson woh see now murder is way worse than an online sentence. Calm down psycho
And today😋
I like how the audience is laughing but then they start cheering because the song totally rocks.
It slowly blew their minds as it was designed to do.
Still awesome. Just rewatched PIC OF DESTINY still hilarious and beautiful all these years later
Damn, these songs are 20 years old now...
It's incredible Tenacious D has 20 years now...
Make it 21 now.
i feel old
The band is older than I am
23 now

Old jables is no less
Jables was 29 years old back then... wow

SamStancill Superb analysis. Not. You’re a piece of shit.
Okay?
SamStancill STFU, you racist pile of crap.
@@stanknugget the fuck are you on about?!?
The people in the audience didn't realize the musical genius that was in front of them
JAck Black is seriously the greatest. I can't believe it took so long for everyone to get on board with what an absolute powerhouse he is.
I knew it the moment I saw the Jackel. Minor part but perfectly executed. Then... the cable guy.. the rest is rigiguuhguh gowe!
Bowie was such a great song.
Rrrrung gu gu gun gun, Rung gu gu gun gun, Rung gu gu gun gun GOW!
Gi go gee, gi gi gi go gee gi gi goo, riggo giggo giggo ri gee goo
Ri go gee, gi gi gi go gee gi gi goo, riggo giggo giggo Gooo
Stabbing you with my Bowie while im nakid
Painted from head to toe and so arouuuused. Ooooh.
why did you type all this? incase nobody heard it?
and you fucked it up, its stabbing HER with my bowie
keep out of this nathan
Yeah! fuck you Nathan!
But seriously though. why did he write all of this?
I miss the 90s lol..... long live the d 😩🤣🤣🤣 I love them so hard
When comedians can really play music and sing.
I don't think Jack actually played a single note on the guitar...
Marko Sarajärvi barely ever does its just for looks
I mean he mainly focuses on singing- but when KG does solos Jack will play the rhythm part to fill out the sound.
If I remember right, KG was the one that taught Jack guitar.
Christopher Borelli he was
Oohh but he can play, he can play my friend. Not as good as Kyle of course, BUT HE CAN PLAY.
This is my favourite performance of Explosivio jacks delivery is spot on!
This must be one of their earliest live performances
This is simple, yet so EPIC!
people are laughing ... but this shit is so good
ya good comedy music. not actually good
@@aarondavid5866 nah this good energy
@@aarondavid5866 Found the guy who doesn't get invited to parties
@@michaelgraham9774 ya this is the music at parties
@@aarondavid5866 Nah most musical comedy acts don't slap even 10% as hard as the D.
I love how he's trying desperately to tell the story all while completely winded from the first song.
My favorite recording of this song
As an old soul person for 1997, Tenacious D is hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Anyone noticed how Adam Devine just lifted young Jable's entire schtick? Look, sound, expression... Everything
Connor McClenny lowkey Lmaoo workaholics ep
Jables played Adams father/ brother on Workaholics.
2:07 some dude throws Jack's glasses back.
I would have kept them and use them everyday!!
nobody gave a shit about jack black at the time. They probably thought those glasses were disgusting
I would never do that
I Love them❤
I have this version of "Bowie" on my iPod but when I downloaded it, it was titled "Rigga-Digga-Dung"
Limewire? I have so many mis-named tracks from those days
The audience for this is perfect.
This is amazing!
Now THAT, is Tenacious D.
So ahead of its time
We don't deserve these two, but they rock on any fuckin way. 🤘
oh look, the greatest band in the world.
I remember watching this comedy special on TV.
okrajoe Yeah, right.
Stank Nugget thats not that hard to believe...
Cobzah It is hard to believe, because okrajoe is a total lying dickhead. I know him in real life.
ohhmyygaaawwd there 1970ts awesome as always
4:06 is a blast from the future. Oh c'mon. I can't be the only one whose head played Talk Dirty To Me.
Man I know the D is technically a comedy act. But the fact that I truly enjoy it is what brings me back over 20 years later lol.
Just freeking epic.
One person doesn't know the name of the song...
El PlayVakero 31 people
@@mayfieldgage 36 people.
Explosivo
jables dancing at 1:45 this is just too good, too good
It's Greg from Yes, Dear! And The D all young and spring chicken-y. Damn you could tell that they would one day change the world.
Dude.. i was 3 yo when those legends created the band...
Avenexful I was 2.9
killed it ... omg
Seen it a hundred times and still the shit.
Family it’s family it’s family it’s family YES DEAR!!!!
I'm seeing them next month xD
Thats awesome they were playing the mars volta when they walked on stage.
kage omg, he never had any hair, did he?
Did you not see the movie?
Those golden locks...
Melissa Dangerfield a shiny golden God
@@KevinLuper99 stole my line :
Never ever since he was a little pumpkin

Wow. How much energy can you get into under five minutes?!?
While Jack was talking about the back story of Bowie , Kyle was just chillin' :)
Explosivo - not quite my tempo
ARE YOU RUSSIAN OR ARE YOU DRAGON?!
At 3:13-3:19, there's something about the double-take that Jables shoots at Kage that just makes me pee my pants laughing.
Don't know what it's about but it's good to go....legendary
I think jb really hates bowie. Cause they always get that song suggested during concerts and jack starts telling the story, then before they play it, jb just gets bummed out and stops.
Bowie is a type of knife
@@helencarter3666 It's also the name of the song that they were talking about

Hey, this is in way better shape than mine! Cool! :-)
Ahh... The 90's.
im so old
Jack had to be on something with those goggles lmao
yes.
I LOVE JACK'S GLASSES
I give them 1 million stars
kage is one of those guys whose looked 50 for 20 years along with ringo starr and dr phil
My friend brought over the D in 2001
I couldn't breathe for about an hour
These people are literally watching history happen
Lmao his shoes sparked a trend
That handwave at she's good to go!
The silence in that room when the satin part of the song got there.
I don't recall any mention of fabrics...
I think that went well!
Watch Bowie in 2x speed.
Ty...
It might be even better at .25x
Greg from yes dear!!
Music and performing is hard. You do one or both but two guys doing both is rare.
cocaine is a hell of a drug
my only drug is music
Turpentine!
You reckon Jack did coke? I wouldn't be super surprised if that were the case here lol
Ruasunev 117 he actually has admitted to having a coke phase but I think by this point they were just smoking a little weed.
T., D 1968 Green? Dodge Dart I had one in 1984-85 with a slant six engine? best car to break down in fix in 15 min every time lol🤣🤣
hilarious
omfg this is 1997...
turn on the captions
young D
meme is still strong
ahahahaha! you did it too!
every time they cut the curse word they put in laughter sounds
did JBles come straight from filming Jeepers Creepers on Mr. Show? ;-)
I was born this year l
First 30 sec I thought Jack looks like Howard S. Thompson
jack is in love with weed
I once called my son Explosivo and my daughter changed her name to Bowie
Before they were a metal band
They were always metal. Comedy-Metal with acoustics, but metal. What do you even think The Metal was about?
@@doctorbuddha1906 this seems like it was long before that song.
3:41 tabs?
I don't think Jack played a single chord for the entire 5 minutes.
Jack brings the juice and Kage brings his rockin' sauce. Epic!
Plus.. when they play guitar at the same time...
People's heads fucking explode!!
🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
My all time favorite accustic band The D. Crosby Stills & Nash looks like a middle school show compared to the D 😲
hahahahaaha! You said shit and fuck!
explosivo was so epic...holy shit...walk off homer
97? i was 5. pick of desninty was 06? totalllly not feeling olllllldddduh.
