Had he used the microphone, it wouldn’t have just been Conan who’s head was blown off. It would have been everyone in the studio audience and potentially everyone who watched it.
Nope this was 100% lip synced. Hope you are joking. It's made most obvious by when he throws the mic away and is still louder than the acoustic guitar that is making electric guitar sounds and the rhythm guitar that jack put round to his back but is being played by invisible hands behind him...
But mainly for me it was the fact that i put it on hoping for some live music and had to check I hadn't clicked the wrong link as it started playing the recording.
He sang without a microphone, the other one played a harmonized electric guitar solo with 1 acoustic. No one can reply that.. they´re the best band in rock history, hands down.
Saw them live in concert once. They "played" this in the middle of the show. It was the most genius way for them to take a break without having to let the rocking stop. Truly the greatest band of all time.
@@samuelpentecost4990 these are to heavy set dudes rocking out for god knows how long. Being a fan myself and hoping to go see a show one day, I wouldn't even care if they done that, they fucking rock and deserve a break if they choose it but the fact they still entertain the crowd just makes them top tier musicians/entertainers tbh
For anyone unaffiliated with the D, yes this is lip synced, but it was made as a joke, hell in the movie the song only exists in a dream jack has about the pick.
If you didn't know... they actually performed this live AND they sang it live in Pittsburgh at Stage AE. If anyone thinks they didn't truly sing this: czcams.com/video/hsyPGRogX7c/video.html
I actually have the Pick of Destiny. I literally went down to my local music shop and as a fucking joke i whispered to the guy at the counter. Do you have the pick of destiny? He was like yes actually i have 1 right here for 19.99 plus tax. Lmfao movie replica. Its so dope i carry it everywhere.
Something I've noticed about bands that are considered "parody" ... Flight of the Conchords... Lonely Island... underneath the sophomoric lyrics and concepts is some legit musicianship. Just wrapped up in fart jokes.
I almost get the idea that Jack and Kyle feel like if they tried to do something very serious that they’d only be average so they make outrageously good funny music instead, but I really think they’re 2 musicians so incredible at what they do that they deserve a piece of music everyone can listen to and take seriously knowing they put their all into crafting a singular cohesive piece of music that fully expresses the metric ton of talent between the 2 of them
This song was not lip synced. It just so happens the first time they performed it was soo precise in resonance and power, every subsequent performance just so happens to coincide with an echo of the original.
It was obviously lip synced. And the switching guitars as they were playing proves it. I’m a musician, I notice these things. But in all fairness I saw them live in Chicago and it was friggn amazing!
@@christianredground1283 If this was even slightly ambiguous I can understand how you would miss the joke.

And then Eddie goes back to England and hands the pick to Steve Harris who let Dave Murray have it for as long as he stays in Iron Maiden. Unfortunately he charred it with Adrian Smith who kept it when he left the band. Then they lost it on the Brave New World tour and the pick was never seen since...
I don’t understand whats happening, everyones saying its lip syncing, which i think is v inconsiderate, Tenacious D are very talented people and it is clearly presented that Jack Blacks voice is indeed that powerful and that Kyle Gas is fully capable of playing those solos on that acoustic. Smh
Even though this is playback. Thinking that Jack did sing this song for real one time, for the record of course. Gives me shivers like That voice, is amazing
Nacho Amazing there's a video about the recording. Before I was sure, his voice was technically brushed up to the max. Nope. He's got these insane pipes. I like your name by the way. He's da beeest!
For anyone moaning about lip syncing and faking... IT'S A JOKE THE WHOLE SONG IS A JOKE It wouldn't even have any sense when he would sing "I do not need a microphone" while singing with the microphone.
Their talent is just part of their charm. Their charm is part of the humor. The humor is part of the music, the music is part of their talent, and there we are ... we've come full circle.
I love the fact that they straight up said "Were not going to sing for you guys"... and then lipsync the song with zero care. Jaybles does not tell a lie. I . Love. These. Guys! Great post as always Mert!!!
Adam Spiker yeah, when master exploader is in the live set it’s done just like this, I assume it’s to let everyone have a break before the rest of the set
Michael Dunn well, if your acoustic is an electric/acoustic guitar, and you mess around with a distortion pedal you can get a pretty sick electric guitar sound from an acoustic. I've done it with a ukulele before lol
Electric guitar without distortion sounds the same as an amplified acoustic guitar, with an effect it can sound like anything, you don’t have to be nothing. But you don’t even know how a guitar works dumbass and people who liked it either... :/
For those doubting if this was real or saying it was "recorded," or that "no way they could play 3 leads with 1 acoustic" Uhhh...Pick of Destiny, ever heard of it, Chump??
Tenacious D are the heroes we deserve. They are the heroes we need. They are majestic and godlike in their mightyness and ability to layeth down the rock.
Jack black, the only man so awesome at singing that not only does his voice sound exactly like the studio recording of the song, but it also echoes on its own. Great performance that wasn't lip synced at all ;)
G.M.T. for all you do realize this is totally lip synced right? some of those licks you hear cant be played on an acoustic. i mean it can physically be played but it wont have that synthesized sound because they were playing acoustic. some of the riffs played were 100% electric, probably from their studio recording of this song. that being said im still a fan of the D.
unknown subscriber Dude, I just pointed out the fact that they censored the word "fucking". You don't need to tell me the song is made as a joke, I am their fan too and it is logical half the song is played with Electric guitars and effects (even if they staged it here with just acoustic guitars)
I actually think that if Jack Black would have not born as him self (comedic little fatman) and more like Axl Rose (rock God body), he would have been too powerful for this world. That voice put in to a serious face and body, people would have followed him like Jesus.
I actually thought about it realistically and he would be way up there if he were a rock singer exactly like this but serious. It gave me chills cause id be a pretty hardcore fan for a band with a voice like this in modern day America. But it has to be rock and roll hard rock heavy rock. It would have to be exactly like this and no comedy all balanced out somehow
Love Jack and The D! It was a pleasure working with him as The Polka King. He did the best anyone could do playing my best friend Jan Lewan. Great Actor. WORD!
Nice bud. Jack Black is the only person I haven't worked with while working in film. I have met him, just no work done with him. Before I die I will do a singing duet with him and shred on the guitar. Love his stuff. Too bad Weird Al is and will always be polka king. :P
I don't know what y'all talking about this being a "joke". All I see is the best band in the world singing a song they wrote 5 minutes ago.
You're wrong,this is just a tribute.
I love all these replies love tenacious d and the fans as well
Not just any song. The greatest song in the world.
indeed
@@calantheshaman true, not a single toxic comment or reply in sight. Which is rare for CZcams

Untouchable.
No one else like perfect number
Mad skillz, yo (note the ‘z’ in ‘skillz’... that’s how legit the skillz are).

No he won't 😂

He got rid of the microphone for your own safety. Trust me.
Had he used the microphone, it wouldn’t have just been Conan who’s head was blown off. It would have been everyone in the studio audience and potentially everyone who watched it.
The microphone can't handle the D
It's cause his voice fucking... powerfuuuuuuuUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUL
@@bryantcordova7227 JAJAJAHAJA NOOOO
Is the only way
Joke? Blasphemy. I was there. The room shook from his voice. He threw down the microphone because it was only restricting him.
He threw it to protect everyone in the stage.
Trust me. It is true.
Hahaha
Hell yeah!
I'll have you know this was NOT lip synced. Whenever Tenacious D play, it's always so perfect it sounds exactly like the studio recording
Except in television. Then fucking turns to freaking and shit turns to stuff because people are afraid of words.

"the other one" that's fucking Kyle Gass, the Rage Kage, put some respect on his name
Conan tried to destroy the metal, but the metal blew his mind!
He is the vanquished foe of the Me-a-tle, he tried to win for why we do not know.
They played electric on acoustics. Is there is anything they can’t do?
Pay their rent perhaps
They can’t not rock
Kill the metal?
Jeremy Robel well done sir 👏🏻
@@ajf9258 You caught that huh?
It's not like they didn't warn Conan.
He didn't mean to blow his mind, but that shit just happens to him all the time.

I sang this at Karaoke Night at my college. When I was finished, everyone looked at me like I was some kind of jackass.
I would have bought you a beer
You just blew their minds is all bro, that shit happens to me all the time
Correction, they looked at you like you were some kind of "Jack Black." You typoed it.
It’s because you used a microphone

Samson69 yes

It was flicked into the hands of Brian Haner jr

jack never needs a microphone to sing this song his voice is just too powerful
This is just a tribute.. You gotta believe it~
I wish you were there
I love this band they are the best band ever. Period.
never getting tired of them !
