Something that does not suck:Tenacious D

Let me start off this "NoMore" Story by explaing that this article is meant to bring to your attention people who will never be on this list. Who are doin g"it" right and do not suck.

Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, and Molly Hatchet couldn't be here, but they all had sex and are proud to announce the birth of their two-headed baby, Tenacious D! For those of you who have not opened your mind to the world that is The D, Tenacious D that is, then you have not had your shot of Rocket Sauce.

Jack Black and Kyle Gass make up the lyrical, musical and improv geniuses that fortunately enough for us mortals, spawned Tenacious D. They met years ago at the Actors Gang Theater Company in L.A. and decided to “do something”, there started the roller coaster of songs and the eventual domination of all that is sacred. For years KG and JB had performed in the LA area, doing free sets, touting that they are “Greatest band on the earth,” and landing all the “backstage betties.” But man, they don't just sing, they create and tempt the Gods of hell. You might say, "But what is The D? What do they mean, what are they about?” Well my brothers and sisters, I have an answer for you-- inspirado. As Jack has already explained, “you cannot manufacture inspirado. It comes from a quietude, a stillness...” You might not realize it, but you are all influenced by Tenacious D. At work, at home and in the performance that is life. Be careful though, their powers are magical and should be not taken lightly.

Image doing open mic night after open mic night. Doing some shity show for only 3 people and one day, you get yourself discovered. Wait, what's that? What did you say? Yes, discovered. Your ass winds up on HBO with your own brand of comedy, your own ides and thoughts. Hot damn, you're doing it Tenacious D style. Wait, you ARE Tenacious D damn it. For a band that was once thought of as a joke group, a throw back to Spinal Tap, they proved all the minions and demons wrong

Some of you might see this article as over-the-top or even odd, this just means you have yet to be touched by The D. If any of you ever get the chance to see Tenacious D, see them! For things holy in this world, see Tenacious D and you will see what this article is trying to say.

"Rock the motha fucking house and kick some ass!"
