Summary: This is just a Tribute...
Review: Don't hesitate to buy this DVD! It is the best DVD I've bought for under $20 bucks. If you love "The D"...BUY IT NOW...don't wait until payday; you cannot live without it. You will laugh, cry, laugh again, go back and watch it again, get grossed out and then you will thank me! I don't know why I waited so long to get it myself!?!

Summary: The D - they're not just for breakfast anymore
Review: This is an excellent collection of that most overlooked Rock phenomenon, Tenacious D. For those who don't know, Tenacious D consist of K.G. (Kyle Gass) and J.B. (Jack Black - School of Rock / High Fidelity / Shallow Hal). These 2 cover all the greatest of classic rock styles in their music and are actually pretty talented musicians. Their songwriting reminds me of what we might have written when in 8th grade but it is done in such a manner that, rather than being simply stupid, it becomes ridiculous to the point of hilarity. Not a recommended viewing for a young viewer, but any adult who remembers Led Zeppelin or Rush or even Dio from their teenage years will feel the compelling urge to laugh and enjoy their productions. But their hilarity is not limited to this and anyone with a bit of wit should enjoy their performances.
This DVD set includes their HBO shorts, which should strike a chord with every amateur musician out there - going from the difficulty of writers block to groupies to personal tragedy to Open Mike night.
In the live concert portion of the DVD, KG gets the chance to show off some of his chops, which are pretty impressive regardless of the material, while Jack Black struts the stage with his usual overly flambouyant and ridiculous presence - he is so over the top that one finds it difficult to stifle the urge to chuckle. This is the epitome of a collection for the cult of the D grown large.
The recorded volume level on my particular DVD seems to have been cranked up quite a bit, FYI, but that's okay - this is one that should be played at 11.

Summary: Ignore the Musicalgenius, this is GREAT!
Review: This should speak for itself, all the D stuff you'd want crammed onto one disc! Forget about what musicalgenius said. If you look at his list, he rated Queer Eye for the Straight Guy five stars, which obviously tells us that he spends alot of time in highway reststop mens room's. MEN, FOR A GOOD TIME CALL MUSICALGENIUS!

Summary: Should have been called "Tenacious D- The Holy Grail"
Review: If you are a fan of KG/JB, You already have this and are lovin' it gently! If you never heard of The "D" well, Jack Black (Yes, the fabulous actor) and Kyle "Cage" Gass (Guitar extrordinaire) are a singing Duo (not DIO) with a twist of the real world (or what at least I would like it to be).
If you never heard of them, get this DVD, it's real cheap and it's loaded with side splitting, rocking entertainment! You will become a fan fast and soon will get there CD. If you are in the search for something different or inspirado, BUY BUY BUY!

Summary: Your ass is grass and the tenacious dvd is the lawnmower
Review: This is single-handedly the thing that will turn you into a hardcore fan of the D. The first disc will rock your socks off with the concert in England, but even better are the HBO specials(the best, in my opinion, is "Angel In Disguise"). Disc two, "For Psycho Fans Only", contains even more Tenacious D shorts(not related to the HBO shorts) and all of the music videos. So, in essence, if you don't mind getting some cream in your jeans, you should definitely get this DVD.

Summary: The most dangerous DVD you will ever own
Review: Scanning the reviews, I see that no one has pointed out the public health risks that result from repeated viewings of this DVD. Among them:1) During office meetings, you may experience an uncontrollable desire to sing "Saaasssquaaatch, we know your love is reeeeaallll..." 2) Overexposure to the lyric "with karate I'll kick your ass back to Tiananmen Square," and the ensuing rhyme ("derriere") can permanently damage basic cognitive abilities. 3) Playing the live version of "Explosivo" backwards yields the same chord progressions and leaps in lyrical logic as playing the live version of "Explosivo" forwards. Intriguingly, this is not interesting. 4) It is not possible to work the phrase "climb up on my big-ass steed" into polite conversation. 5) If you have friends named Flarna, Leigh or Lee, you will lose them. 6) Admitting that the live concert's Flash Gordon/Wonderboy opening isn't just funny, but also DOES "have the power to move you," while true, will get you committed. So yes, get this DVD. But please be careful.

Summary: Truely Some of The D's Finest
Review: Well, I've been a D fan for a while now. Great music and huge laughs on the cd. I was a little worried that maybe they couldn't capture that same effect live but I'm truely happy to be proven wrong. The D is an awsome live band. And what's really amazing is it is just Jack and KG with their guitars. That's it, nothing more. And they still delivered an awsome preformance. KG shows off some amzing guitar skills while Jack is keeping the crowd in stiches. The great thing also is all the videos, short films and their HBO series. The only thing I would have to say about those is please don't let your little children watch them. It's extremely funny, interesting, and entertaining but there is a lot of adult content and words that little kids really REALLY shouldn't see.

Summary: Take me far away from the mucky muck
Review: I have seen the future...it's name is "Tenacious D". I'm embarrassed that I payed only $14.00 for this DVD.
I wish I could give more money to JB and KG after watching this awesome DVD. I watched the entire DVD in one day. At the beginning of the day, I was wearing socks. They were immediately rocked off. The concert...awesome. The videos...awesome. The extras... awesome. Buy this DVD immediately.
