Fenix? Marcus Fenix?

[BRoswell]

Either that cover art is going to get replaced, or The D are going to slip a big dick past the noses of all those uptight mothers who begrudgingly let their sons and daughters listen to them.

[Space Suicide]

I doubt it, people are stupid. I noticed the phallus as soon as I looked. Maybe I'm a pervert or it's that obvious.

[imail724]

It's definitely pretty obvious

I won't even front, I'm excited as hell for this. I'm pretty sure Pick of Destiny ranked high on my list back in 2006. I love these guys. I hope there's a huge tour coming soon.

[imail724]

Me too. Them at msg was my first show ever. Hopefully they don't play there again though being that the place was only like 1/3 full.

"They Fucked Our Asses" is actually a really old song. Which I guess isn't too unbelievable since History of Tenacious D was on the Pick of Destiny. I have a bootleg from '01 that has TFOA into Radiohead's Airbag.

[Mr. Blaileen]

I'm pumped for this. I hope it leaks soon (though this is one I'll buy), and I hope it doesn't suck. "Rize of the Fenix" is a pretty good song, so I'm optimistic.

This isn't new but here are their upcoming tour dates including festivals.. They also posted a bunch of cities on their website with no dates or venues yet, so hopefully they announce them all soon. I can't wait to see them again in NY, and possibly Philly. MSG in 2006 was my only live D experience but it was amazing, I was on the rail right in front of JB. I just hope this tour is the old school classic D show, just Kyle and Jack, nothing else.

5/23 Santa Barbara, CA – Santa Barbara Bowl
5/24 Oakland, CA – Fox Theater

[demgoth]

That's awesome! Really looking forward to the album and tour. I will definitely be at the NY show, possibly Philly as well. Really happy this tour isn't conflicting with anything else I have coming up.

[Mr. Blaileen]

"They'll have to laser off their 'D' tattoos!"

I love the new song, and I can't wait for the album.

[imail724]

It leaked and it kicks ass! The return of skits! Yes! This is what the Pick of Destiny should have been.

Enjoying the album a lot, laughed out loud a lot during first playthrough!

Cool. I love Tenacious D (in small doses: I love some of their hits, don't really care for the albums as a whole or the skits).

Also: I find it a bit ironic and entirely indicative of the current state of rock that one of the few great rock bands around these days is a comedy band.

[Mr. Blaileen]

Love it.

[sonic_discord]

Love it.

Pumped about the new music. I just wish they were coming to MN. Or OR. Or Wa.

[imail724]

Anybody get tix?

[demgoth]

I'll be at the Kings Theatre show, recently moved and now I'm only a few blocks away from the theater, can't wait! (Also NIN please god announce shows there too!)

[imail724]

Anybody watching the Post Apocalypto show on YouTube? I'm loving it so far and can't wait until I can rewatch the whole thing in full next month.

[sonic_discord]

The new album is out tomorrow (and it's leaked too). There's some pretty good stuff on it, as usual! I've heard about half of it so far...

[imail724]

I really loved the series. Listening to the album though just doesn't feel right. Having a skit in between every track, yet still leaving out a lot of context from the series doesn't make sense to me. I'll give it a few more listens, but I don't think I'm going to go out and buy it on vinyl like I initially planned to, certainly not at it's current price tag. As for now:
Tenacious D > Fenix > POD > Post-Apocalypto

[sonic_discord]

Tenacious D > Fenix > POD

That part is definitely accurate. I need more time with Post-Apocalypto before I can judge whether it goes before or after PoD, but at the moment, I'm leaning toward this:
Tenacious D > Rize of the Fenix > Post-Apocalypto > Pick of Destiny

This morning I bought tickets to finally see these guys live (at one of my favorite venues) and I'm so pumped for it!

Also, after letting it gestate for a while, I think @imail724 (https://www.echoingthesound.org/community/member.php?u=207) might have been right about this order:


Tenacious D > Fenix > POD > Post-Apocalypto
