I wasn't able to do it, that's why me and Kyle had to join forces. And we only had one song, and it was the greatest song in the world "Tribute."īABYLON: Hey, Jack, you know sometimes when you sing songs and you're able to, like, not say words but like says noises, like.īABYLON: The scats, man, those scats are.īLACK: You're asking where does the power of my scat come from?īABYLON: That's a lot of power of the scats.īLACK: Well, you know, I'm heavily influenced by Bobby McFerrin.īLACK: I would watch in the back of the audience in wonder, because he satisfied a certain thing in me. Finally we worked up the courage to go play a little dive bar in downtown Los Angeles. And we spent years just in his apartment jamming stonily along, searching for our sound. I was like a little dog humping his leg.īLACK: And then finally he let me in. And I tried to hold onto Kyle's coattails but he kept on kicking me off. SAGAL: And you started playing music together as part of that?īLACK: Well, Kyle was sort of the official de facto musician of the theater company at the time. SAGAL: I'm interested, you guys met back in the 80s when you were both in the Actors Gang, right, Tim Robbins' group out in LA? I mean, you know, because we hear sometimes from heavy metal bands who are like oh no, no, we're not really Satanists, you know, but you guys really are pretty much. I would say like Black Sabbath and Simon and Garfunkel, if you could imagine that.īLACK: Yeah, you know, we revel in the 1970s and 80s rock when Satan was real.
SAGAL: But for those people who don't know Tenacious D, could you guys sort of tell us what your music is all about.īLACK: Well, it's been said that we're a combination of Black Sabbath and who's the other band Kage?īLACK: We're horrible at describing ourselves. SAGAL: So I know that your band is the greatest ever because your songs tell me so. JACK BLACK: Thank you for having us here. Their new album is "Rize of the Fenix." Kyle and Jack, welcome to WAIT WAIT.DON'T TELL ME!.
SAGAL: Also known as actor and musicians Kyle Gass and Jack Black. There are good bands, there are great bands, and then there is the most amazingly fantastic band ever in the history of bands, and that would be Tenacious D. And now the game where we ask people who have done great things on to do something silly.
