* AGGRESSIVE AIR GUITAR SOLO *
It sounds as if Bill and Ted aren't the only rockers who have a much-anticipated sequel in the works, because according to Jack Black and Kyle Gass of the comedic metal band Tenacious D, they’re working on a sequel to their 2006 film TENACIOUS D: THE PICK OF DESTINY. Black announced the the film yesterday during their performance at the Shaky Knees Festival in Atlanta, Georgia, by saying “Part Two’s coming out in October,” Black shouted to the crowd. “I don’t know where you’ll be able to see it, but we have decided that it’s happening and it’s coming out.”
You can watch Black make the announcement in the video posted below:
In the 2006 original film, two slacker, wannabe-rockers set out on a quest to steal a legendary guitar pick that gives its holders incredible guitar skills, from a maximum security Rock and Roll museum. During their journey, the two bone-headed musicians run afoul of Satan himself (Dave Grohl), whose judgement will determine the band's worthiness of the magical item.
Black's announcement of a sequel is sure to get fans of the band fired up, though one has to wonder about the validity of his statement, considering the abrupt October release window. Does the band really have another film ready to rock? We'll be sure to keep you updated as things develop.
In the meantime, let's rock out …
