Tenacious D - The Complete Master Works (2003) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)EVERYONE has to buy this. This is one of the best band DVD sets out there. Of course it's a 2 DVD set but get it while you can because after a while there going to take away the second disc.
Of course Tenacious D is one of the best acoustic/rock groups around today. You got Jack Black with lead vocals and guitar, and Kyle Gass with lead acoustic guitar and vocals. I like how Jack Black always jokes around on stage and Kyle takes everything serious. This set is very good in all kinds of funny and gross ways. You're getting over 3 and a half hours of footage.
DISC 1
6 HBO EPISODES- These are extremely funny and the live parts of these episodes are awesome. They were taped from 1996-1999. You get to hear some songs from the cd (no drums or electric guitar on live parts) as well as some other songs that were great but never got put on their cd. All the live parts in these episodes are done in a small bar type place on Open Mic Night and no one in the audience really likes them. Below are the list of episodes and the length of each one. I listed the songs played in each episode as well.
The Episodes are:
-The Search For Inspirado- (10:32)-SONGS- Kielbasa,,,, History of Tenacious D,,,, Kyle Quit the Band
In this episode J.B. and K.G. have five days to write a new song, but get mad at each other and end up breaking up for a while.
-Angel in Disguise- (11:30)-SONGS- Double Team,,,, Karate,,,, Kyle Too a Bullet For Me
In this episode J.B. gets mad at K.G. for liking the same girl that he likes after J.B. gives K.G. a Friends for Ever medallion which ends up saving his life.
-Death of a Dream- (12:26)-SONGS- Cosmic Shame,,,, Sasquatch,,,, Kielbasa
In this episode J.B. and K.G. go through the five steps to admitting that they shouldn't have a dream of becoming a great band after they listen to Captain Ed talk about how he got no where being in a band. They end up finding Sasquatch and he tries to play the drums in their band.
-The Greatest Song in the World- (9:32)-SONGS- Greatest Song in the World (Tribute)
In this episode J.B. and K.G. get a new neighbor (a writer) in there apartment and they make him mad by making to much noise and he ends up calling the police and then J.B. tells the police officer the story of them in the desert and finding a demon which they play the greatest song in the world for.
-The Fan- (12:23)-SONGS- Explosivo,,,, Lee,,,, Special Things
This episode has a hilarious beginning in which J.B. gets mad at the audience for not giving back his clear special pick. They then meet Lee who is a fan of them and gives back K.G.'s pick. They begin to always be with Lee and end up making a song about him. The song Special Things is not very good in which they have Lee sing it.
-Road Gig- (14:05) -SONGS- Warning,,,, The Road,,,, Jesus Ranch
In this episode J.B. and K.G. go on a road gig, and while there driving there car brakes down. They end up finding a Jesus Ranch in which everyone is all religious and K.G. falls in love with a big potato that the people grow there.
That's all the HBO episodes on the first disc but that's not even half of all the stuff on the 2 discs. Next I'll list all 16 songs played in the live concert, which is an hour long and is performed at the Brixton Academy. The concert is one of the best live concerts I'v seen on DVD and features some cool solos and all of Tenacious D's songs from there cd except for City Hall and Lee. The length of each song is listed too.
1-(:45)-Program Start
2-(1:45)-Flash
3-(6:56)-Wonderboy
4-(4:02)-Explosivo
5-(4:30)-Medley(K.G.'s solo)
6-(2:12)-Karate
7-(2:01)-Kyle Quit the Band
8-(2:11)-Friendship
9-(2:43)-Kielbasa
10-(2:28)-Dio

14-(5:56)-Tribute
15-(4:24)-Rock Your Socks (J.B.'s solo)

DISC 2
I don't really take the For Psycho Fans Only part of this. This disc is good for any Tenacious D fan because it does contain their videos. Some things on this disc are kind of funny, and gross but the videos and making of's are good.
