Vocal Coach 1ST TIME Reaction to TENACIOUS D - “Tribute” (Analysis)

In this video, I react for the first time to Tenacious D performing "Tribute”. I analyze their amazing performance, explain and demonstrate their vocal techniques and I'll tell you what I think made it so great. Jack Black and Kyle Gass are icons of comedy and it turns out they’re also serious musical talents!

I'm so excited to be a part of your singing journey, It's one that truly never ends.

Love you forever,
The Fairy Voice Mother x

I think you would really enjoy "Kickapoo" by Tenacious D. Three great and very different vocalists in one song for you to react to!

[antivanti]

Dave Grohl as the demon (and he played drums on the album)
So many pre-parties have been spent doing singalongs to this song 😅

You nailed it: the genius of Jack Black and Tenacious D is that they are always FULLY committed to the bit. Which includes both of them being legitimately brilliant musicians and songwriters. They're deadly serious about their extreme silliness, and few comedians (especially of their generations) have that kind of confidence. They've been a breath of fresh air to me for 25 years—and it really delighted me to see you take them so seriously as well. ❤

[Ojee]

Dear Fairy Voice Mother, i just want to say that i am totally hooked on your video's. It's not only the awesome breakdowns you do with insightful remarks but the fact that you truly enjoy the music as well is the shiny cherry on top. Also the fact that the editing in tandem with your humor is very entertaining to watch. Please keep it up!!!!

[WolfHreda]

That _is_ Ben Stiller. He and Jack Black have been friends for a long time, and that's why JB finds his way into many of Stiller's projects. Likewise, Ben Stiller pops up in Black's stuff, too. In their movie, Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny, Ben Stiller plays a guitar store employee that sets them on the path to their goal for the movie.

I love how you can pick out little things in a song that I've never fully picked up on even though I've heard them hundreds of times. The way your mind works with music is fantastic! The way you know where various little tricks and vocal sounds work and don't work is brilliant.

[ryanadams]

“The Metal” will forever be my favorite song by them but they are all great.

[ianmcconehea]

Their song Wonderboy is pretty fun as well, Jack has a lot of great runs in it.

[johnnyjd]

I remember playing this song on the radio with my band in Belgium, it was a funny experience and we even did the "demon voice" 😂 I miss those times

[yourHandleShouldBeAtLeast...]

The song they sang to beat the devil was the greatest in the world. However they couldn't remember the lyrics of that song.... so they made a tribute to that song... that is this song. Just a tribute to the greatest song in the world.

[MRYN]

Love that you caught the Ben Stiller cameo, but you missed Dave Grohl as the devil! Tenacious D have some great music, and The Pick of Destiny too!

[react-o-mat]

I'd strongly recommend their movie 'The Pick of Destiny'! It's basically the Tenacious D origin story (and has a lot of their music in it as well) 👍

[tylerscott]

3 more Tenacious D songs you need to listen to are Kickapoo, dude I totally miss you and master exploder. These are some of my absolute favorites!!

[celescoles]

Ahh, I love the bit you talk about feeling relaxed on the stage. Actually, thanks to your videos, last year I signed up for vocal lessons in my neighborhood music school and after only two months they had this talent show. It was a bunch of elementary schoolers, 30 year old me and one other adult vocal student. My teacher asked if I wanted to be involved, at that point I still couldn't sing at all, but thanks to you I knew singing was about having fun with your voice and also I was already doing theater, so I didn't mind being on stage. I figured I'd be fun and goofy and enjoy being there. I ended up doing a duet with my teacher, I sounded mostly terrible but I enjoyed the hell out of it and everyone loved it to bits! This is mostly thanks to your positive energy and joy about singing. I managed to forget about my self-consciousness and just tapped on my goofy side. It became one of my best memories ever. I had to drop out due to moving cities but I really want to go back to it again. Thank you for this channel and all your positive energy!

[garyboyles]

I really appreciate the deep dive of the pieces to this masterpiece of a song! I really love the playful style that these guys bring. They revel in the enjoyment of creating even a tribute to beautiful music.

[kalzekdor]

I wasn't expecting a neurophysiology lesson in the middle of a musical reaction/analysis, but I'm not complaining.

[geofthompson]

Are you officially there happiest and most cheerful person in the world? Honestly, I sometimes forget to listen, and just enjoy watching how expressive you are.😂 arms everywhere so animated and entertaining as hell. Thanks for making me bring out silly and goofy smile 😂

[Valasty]

Dear Lolli, now that you have dipped your feet into Tenacious D, I have two suggestions that will CHANGE YOUR LIFE! (hope I'm not too late for you to miss the comment)

1- Watch "Kickapoo"s video, it has a special participation that you will very much love. THEN in the same video look for a 2 min clip of that person recording the song in studio, it WILL BLOW YOUR MIND. Seriously.

2- Watch their recent video for "Wicked Game", it's a freaking piece of art. Unfortunately it's very short, so you can look for their live performance as well to complement the video.

That's it, love your reactions, please keep it up... you're actually the only reactor I have a follow on (and I watch A LOT of you), that tells how good you are :)

[rangerbxguard]

Wow! you're take was exactly what Tenacious D is, musical genre defying FUN!!!

[wtgardner]

One of the best reactions to this song, and certainly the best vocal coach reaction. Many thanks!
