Tenacious D - Don’t Miss Trump Next Time Birthday Wish - Front Row - Sydney - 14/07/2024

Hi everybody.

I feel I should address the content of this video even though it is not one of the ones that is being widely circulated.

This is probably going to seem like a giant cop out but it is what it is 🤷.

It is unprecedented for me to post any video that is not just footage of a live song. The only reason I did post this was because it was a unique event that was only happening at my show due to it being Kyle Gass’ 64th birthday. It wasn’t because of any political agenda I may or may not have.

And of course I never condone violence of any kind and I knew that the Donald Trump comment was going to cause a bit of controversy, but in no way did I anticipate the amount of backlash it would cause.

While I welcome you all to continue voicing your opinions in the comments (and I have been enjoying reading them all), I myself only ever wanted my channel to be about the music and nothing else. It is for this reason I choose not to comment on the matter. (Well except for this lengthy description right here) 🤔.

I thought about removing my video after footage filmed by others became vehicles for intense political debate, but realised doing that would still be some form of censorship on my part so I’m leaving it up.

And although Tenacious D may be hated a lot right now, I am also keeping my other videos of their concert on my channel and will not be removing them either.

I am keeping this space a happy place for everyone who just wants to enjoy live music as much as I do 🤘.

Thanks to you all for your continued support of my channel.

Rock on! 🤘🤘

Dr. Stupid.

Jack sure looks blindsided and outraged doesnt he?

[miltonbuu]

Jack black Damm near did a back flip when he smiled

[RottenConglomerate]

When I asked my dad about the trump assasination he said the same thing? This isn’t a huge deal. Definitely not a thing to get their ass in a knot about. Oh woah! A very polarizing political figure was almost killed due to their extremely polarizing persona? NO WAY! We haven’t seen this since… forever?

[aengusk]

that was dumb, if you say your birthday wish out loud, it may not come true

[mattplays]

Last week... KYLE DESTROY THE BAND... Now we’re deported of Australia 🎶

[trevorhock]

I feel like nobody would have known this even happened if jack black didn’t come out and say anything at all, he only drew more attention to it

[walshproductions]

Jack black is committing to the bit for the sake of the show but notice how he doesn’t comment on it. He doesn’t want to give it anymore attention. You can tell he doesn’t know what to say

[Summers-wqfc]

Props to Jack Black for remaining professional and still playing the show for the fans' experience

[clansymbiont]

Jack said he was blindsided and outraged. He was laughing. You fucked up, Jack.

[legionxiii]

Oh who cares?! As a conservative (but more importantly a Tenacious D fan) I could not care less. Just play the metal and be on your way, canceling them for a crappy comment is no better than the left canceling conservatives for their beliefs. Like the right needs to rise above and say who cares and whatever, different views make America what it is.

[dolphziggler]

Kyle has disgraced the bald community with this kind of behavior. Couldn't he just have asked for hair!

[Echoplex]

The only people pissed off about this were people who didn't even listen to them in the first place.

[tfwhackyengineer]

I mean, this is not the greatest joke in the world, no.

[SkyExplosion]

and then Kyle Gass said something that ended both their careers.

[Toiz]

They're comedians and it was just an improvised joke. You can't say anything anymore nowadays. Get a life people!

[snakeattacker]

Jack was laughing he ONLY cancelled the tour and apologized for it to save his ass so he could still make movies and music and money

[Solidstate]

Perfect moment. Nothing but respect for Kyle Gass. What a guy!

[swagar]

I didn't expect YouTube commenters of all people to be sensitive little flowers over an edgy joke

[mrShh]

So conservatives don't like freedom of speech and edgy jokes anymore? 😶

When "The Pick of Destiny" was released, it was a bomb
And all the critics said that The D was done
The sun had set and the chapter had closed
But one thing no one thought about was The D will rise again

Just like the phoenix,
We'll fucking rise again!
That's right the phoenix,
We'll rise again!

Cause' the fiery heart of a champion cannot be quelched
By a failure or an embarrassment, no way, no
And the critics all agreed it was a stinky pile of chee
But that does not mean that our hearts are not strong

Just like the phoenix,
We'll fucking rise again!
That's right the phoenix,
We'll rise again!

Sun shining, it's a Hell of a day
Riding back and it's headed your way
D's here, now we're putting on a show
We're sneaking up, climbing into your window

Out rocking, yea we're rocking again
Black Mamba is my personal friend
Phil Jackson is the master of zen
We'll pick you up, take you out on the weekend

It's the rise of the phoenix,
It's the call of attack
And you'll know when you've seen us
The fucking D is back, ya'll!

Lovemaking all the way to the top
Boots smoking, but I'm not gonna stop
Bossa Nova is a beautiful dance
Hot-blooded, that's a lots of romance

It's the rise of the phoenix,
And we ride with the pack
It's the magic between us
The fucking D is back

But what if it's true?
If Tenacious D has died, what will we do?
And what will we do,
About all the fans who have The D tattoo?
They'll have them removed,
They'll have to laser off their D tattoos
Tattoos..
They'll have to laser off their D tattoos

[JB:] Wait a minute Kage.
[KG:] What's that you say?
[JB:] You know it's not too late.
[KG:] Yes, it is too late.
[JB:] We only need one hit.
[KG:] Just imagine it.
[JB:] We could be the shit!
[Both:] Too legit to quit!

One hit!
One hit!
One hit!
Yea, I'm hoping this is it
One hit!
Top 10 hit!
Top 40 hit!
Top 1, 000 hit!

I don't care,
As long as we get there!
We'll start anew,
And you can get a new Tenacious D tattoo!

You can get a new Tenacious D tattoo!
