Tenacious D at Download Festival 9/6/12

Six years after Tenacious D’s ‘The Pick of Destiny’ was released, they’re finally back with ‘Rize of the Fenix’, and funnier than ever. Despite being seen as a comical band, Jack Black and Kyle Gass are talented musicians who know exactly how to entertain an audience. Opening with the title track from their debut album, they instantly had the crowd hooked. The latest songs were received well, but it was obvious from the crowd’s reaction that the old songs will always remain their favourites. Their performance of ‘Beelzeboss’ was incredible; they pretended their guitarist was possessed by the devil and it was an amazing moment to see. I’d recommend seeing Tenacious D to any rock fan, even if it would just be to see ‘Tribute’ live!
