Sick iDea. Maybe he has a buddy who can play a mean guitar, so they could form a band. As long as there's a record deal, they'll always be friiieeends.
He's really good at covers but he doesn't do them often because he feels it's a form of disrespect when he can actually sing and create music. Covers are for bands with no real talent. When you have real talent but still copy others works isn't very chill. Especially covering classics and music that'd the industry you're in.
i wanna say the guitarist at this period of leno was paul jackson... so i'm sure he's having a lot of fun, but he has more chances to rock than anyone alive.
i'm willing to bet money every single member of that band has been in countless bands in the past as well as possibly doing session work for other bands
I'm pretty sure it was a joke, there hardly was even time for anyone to react, he says "Black Sabbath?" after those first 2 notes, and you CAN hear a few in the audience start cheering before JB interrupts them "Not Really? Anyone" it throws them off.
Dude I don't know why he doesn't release an album if I'm doing strictly covers of classic rock songs. His vocals are really incredible. I would buy it in a heartbeat. Not only does he have great vocals, but he has the hilarious stage presence that just makes it so much better. He's like Chris Farley if Chris Farley had an amazing voice and loved to rock out..
When you realize how tight Jay Leno's band actually was. Damn. Dudes were basically a jazz/cover band for the show's purposes, but they sounded simply identical (or better) to Sabbath's recorded version of War Pigs... But live. Thoroughly impressed. They seemed to love it as well. It also shows how connected early heavy metal/hard rock was to blues and Jazz sounds. They were just tuned up, harder, sticatto versions of those Bo Fiddle type licks.
Yes man, I was just to type same thought. They nailed it and you have to really pay attention to notice those old guys in suite are actually rocking that hard, and its not a backing track. Impressive
Dude you did not just say it was identical to the original lmao. Not trashing them at all but that guitar tone is so incredibly different to the commanding, godly tone that Tony Iommi has
"Black Sabbath? not really? anyone?" oh man, I'm genuinely sad. Jack, there are many of us out there still hearing the air raid siren and dreading figures in black, I wish I was there to yell my lungs out for you.
Know what I love?? Seeing the whole band get into this. Doesn’t matter what music they like, or what they practice. Some songs are like that, they transcend cultures
He already talk about this.... he said that already exist too much ''serious'' band outhere and tenacious D is like unique cause is not serious band but very serious If you understand what this mean.
His antics help him to hide the flaws of his voice. Without it it would be obvious that he is not so good at all. Ozzy was the weakest vocalist in Sabbath, but he's still 10 times better than Jack Black
@@doublestrokeroll I've heard enough covers of this song to understand someone putting their spin on it. This is not that. This is playing from a textbook style emotionless music. You can hear in Jack's voice that his feeling the song but when you listen to the music it feels lifeless and quite frankly, mocking. If I saw a live Doom Metal (genre Sabbath is from) band perform like this, I'd skip out for the rest of their set. Defend it all you like, that's your call. I find them lacking in the most basic and important part of music, heart.
@@VaughanRoderick Yeah....things like "heart" or "emotion" are subjective. I don't find it mocking at all. I think they're playing it quite well. As intense as the original...of course not, (again...that's only to me and my opinion...someone who thinks it has all the feel of the original is not wrong to think that way), but I still think it's pretty good. Sabbath is just Rock. "doom metal" never even existed as a phrase until a few years ago. You can put them into any box you'd like but always remember, it's a contrived label a younger generation came up with.
I jove this guy, every time I see anything from him it always puts a smile on my face, let it be music, movies, whatever. Sometimes I think to myself, Jack Black might be the best celebrity ever. Thank you for existing man! Keep rockin!!
@Retro Storm first of all, I didn’t say he can’t be topped, I just said that it’s hard to. ozzy’s voice has a certain quality to it that sounds incredible, also I’m not saying that he has a bad voice, I’m just saying that ozzy has an edge, sorry I should’ve elaborated more.
I don’t think people pay enough attention to just how awesome Jack Black’s voice is. It’s as if he was straight up born to be a rock vocalist. And his personality just seals the deal perfectly ❤️
if he was born to be a rock vocalist then he would be one. He pales in comparison to Layne Staley, Scott Weiland, Maynard James Keenan, Ozzy Osbourne or Chris Cornell who were actually talented and successful rock/metal vocalists who didn’t just cover songs but wrote several of their own.
@@daniel5913 honestly I never said he was born to be THE GREATEST rock vocalist. But you have to admit his voice has every quality for a fuckin great frontman. Also he (in Tenacious D) has written some pretty fucking great songs (including an awesome rock-film). And whether or not he was ever destined for rock-star fame is rather irrelevant seeing as how he made it BIG in actor stardom originally through his rockstar fanboyism. In any case he’s well-deservedly living the dream.
@@flagtheoffense I honestly don’t see how it’s atypical of frontmanism. It’s literally all about confidence and showmanship. Things he does incredibly well in general. He may not act like DIO, Plant or Osborn, but there’s no denying he’s entertaining as absolute fuck on stage and can bring some serious energy to an audience simply through his personality. That’s all you really need as a frontman. Showmanship. Regardless of your band or genre, showmanship is always the difference between a good show and a fuckin AWESOME one.
@@cicolas_nage that's what I thought as a guitar player. But I'm a drummer too and I attempted to learn the drums for this song they are way more difficult than it sounds.
