A Rock Odyssey: Tenacious D Takes Charlotte by Storm at the PNC Music Pavilion

By Josh Brown

Tenacious D, the comedic rock duo consisting of Jack Black and Kyle Gass, brought their unique blend of humor and musicianship to the PNC Music Pavilion in Charlotte, North Carolina, on a night that will be remembered by fans as nothing short of epic. This unforgettable performance showcased the duo’s exceptional musical talent, irreverent humor, and an undeniable connection with their audience.

The PNC Music Pavilion served as a fantastic backdrop for this concert. With its spacious lawn and well-organized seating, it provided an ideal setting for both the hardcore fans who arrived early to secure the best spots and those who wanted to relax on the lawn with a drink in hand. The venue’s top-notch acoustics allowed every note to reverberate throughout the venue, enhancing the overall experience.

The show opened with a performance by comedian and musician Dave Hill, who entered the stage on a bicycle and nearly fell off of it. After pretending to mess around with a smoke machine, he asked the crowd to give him song recommendations to play on the guitar, which he executed with ease.

Tenacious D, known for hits such as ‘Wonderboy, ‘The Metal’ and ‘Dio’, kicked off the evening with with a melody of a few of their best songs. They communicated with the crowd, even asking the audience about the movie they created called Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny and joked that no one showed up to watch it (even though now it is a cult classic.) The audience erupted with cheers as Black and Gass showcased their impeccable vocal harmonies and guitar skills. Throughout the night, the duo proved their rock prowess, delivering electrifying renditions of their hits.

What set this performance apart was the level of showmanship. The theatricality of Tenacious D’s stage presence was mesmerizing. From exaggerated facial expressions to over-the-top guitar solos, Jack Black and Kyle Gass brought their characters to life, making the audience feel like they were part of an epic rock opera.

In true Tenacious D fashion, comedy was an integral part of the show. The banter between Black and Gass was as entertaining as their music. They regaled the audience with humorous anecdotes, outrageous stories, and a few PG-13 jokes that kept the crowd in stitches throughout the night. Black’s charismatic energy and Gass’s deadpan humor complemented each other perfectly.

Tenacious D made a genuine connection with the audience throughout the concert. They encouraged sing-alongs and even invited a few lucky fans on stage to join them in a rock ‘n’ roll sing-off. This personal touch created an atmosphere of camaraderie, making fans feel like they were part of an exclusive club. After nearly every song, Black and Gass would give a slow, dramatic bow to the audience.

The concert was not just about the music and humor; it was a visual feast as well. A stunning light show, smoke, and larger-than-life projections on the video boards added another layer of excitement to the performance. The stage design perfectly complemented the duo’s theatrical style, creating a sensory overload that kept everyone engaged.

Tenacious D’s performance at the PNC Music Pavilion in Charlotte was an absolute triumph. They proved once again that they are not just a comedy act but bona fide rock stars. Their ability to seamlessly blend humor with top-notch musicianship and stage presence is unparalleled. This concert was a rollercoaster ride of laughter, emotion, and pure rock ‘n’ roll, leaving the audience with a deep appreciation for the artistry of Tenacious D. It’s safe to say that Charlotte will be talking about this unforgettable night for years to come.

The D Delivers On The Spicy Meatball Tour The comedic…

Things Got Spicy In Charlotte With Tenacious D

The d delivers on the spicy meatball tour.

The comedic rock geniuses of Jack Black and Kyle Gass, known collectively as Tenacious D, are back on the attack with The Spicy Meatball Tour. Recently, they hit up the PNC Music Pavilion in Charlotte for an evening of music and laughter that was truly epic. 

The duo formed back in 1994 and has been blowing our minds with their witty banter and kick-ass rock ever since. As the actors got more and more successful in their film and television careers, they kept forging ahead with their music giving us the movie Tenacious D In The Pick of Destiny and its accompanying soundtrack.  This full-blown motion picture feature and album skyrocketed the D to cult superstardom. Tenacious D followed up the success of the movie with two more albums Rize of the Fenix and Post-Apocalypto. The last few months have been busy ones for the band with the release of a brand new song “Video Games” as well as a cover of Chris Isaak’s “Wicked Game” along with hitting the road for The Spicy Meatball Tour. And if that isn’t enough D for you, the duo will also be releasing The Official Tenacious D Coloring Book which is available for pre-order here.

It’s been four years since Tenacious D has toured so fans were more than excited to see the duo live and in concert and what a concert it was. Opening up the show was comedian, actor, writer, and musician Dave Hill. It can sometimes be difficult for comedy to translate to a large venue but Hill hit the stage hard making his appearance wheeling in on a tricycle complete with a safety helmet. His efforts were frantic at first, messing with the fog machines and the lights in a whirlwind of motion and activity. As soon as the dust settled, we were treated to some hilarious stuff and when Hill strapped on his electric guitar it was go time. He definitely is a talented musician and knows how to work that guitar. Swinging his microphone around wildly, Hill had us laughing and longing for more and it was a great kick-off to the evening’s adventures. 

After a short break, it was finally the moment we had all been waiting for…Tenacious D! The backing band took their places on stage and then Gass and Black walked out as the crowd roared in appreciation. Both took their places behind their mic stands and the party was on. 

Getting started with “Kickapoo,” Black and Gass wasted no time getting the crowd amped up. The two would come together in the center of the stage, jamming on their guitars with Black’s hair wildly flowing as he headbanged along. 

The D’s set was everything we wanted it to be and more. The actors have their comedic routine down pat and half of the fun of the evening was listening to the back and forth between the two and Black’s remarks to the audience. Of course, this is a rock duo so what about the music? Well, Gass is quite the accomplished guitarist and Black’s vocals work exceptionally well with their material. Add in a talented backing group of musicians and according to Black, you had the best rock band in the world. I’m sure there are some who would disagree with his comment in theory, but on this night, he was 100 percent correct. The D kicked ass! 

We also had a great stage setup complete with lights and fog, and all the bells and whistles you would expect from a major rock show. Some of the highlights of the evening included Kyle pretending to quit the band, my favorite Tenacious D tune “Roadie,” and Black singing a snippet of James Taylor’s “Carolina in My Mind.” Black is such a talented guy and his facial expressions and animated movements really pack a punch. 

Of course, the piece de resistance came at the end of the night during the final song of the encore as the D does what they do best, rocking us out as we laughed our asses off and sang along, fists in the air to “Fuck Her Gently.” There are a few dates left on this short swing of dates for The Spicy Meatball Tour. Do yourself a favor and go get spicy with the D.

‘Best show of all time’: Tenacious D kicks off tour in the Queen City

Tenacious D is kicking off its “Spicy Meatball Tour” this week and the band’s first stop is in Charlotte.

Channel 9′s government reporter Joe Bruno spoke with the bandmembers ahead of their Queen City concert. They started the interview by joking about their own government aspirations.

“Maybe it is time for us to announce that we are running for city council. Tenacious D in the city hall.”

It’s not Bruno’s typical interview, but then again, Tenacious D isn’t your typical band. The rock-comedy duo of Jack Black and Kyle Gass is kicking off their tour on Wednesday at PNC Music Pavilion .

The duo is no stranger to Charlotte. They took promotional pictures for their first album on the side of Interstate 85.

“It had to be shot pretty quick as you can imagine,” Gass said. “I remember it being rather dangerous and illegal, but we court danger so we had to do it. Anything for the shot.”

They also shot the movie “Shallow Hal” in Charlotte, a 2001 romantic comedy that stars Gwyneth Paltrow and Jason Alexander.

Black told Bruno he has great memories of playing shuffleboard in a bar he forgets the name of, buying alcohol at Dean & Deluca, and playing disc golf.

“I played an amazing game of frisbee golf, you still got that frisbee golf field?” Black asked.

“Oh yeah,” Bruno said.

“So I challenge you. Are you down to go head-to-head with the D?”

“I’m serious, I never joke when it comes to frisbee golf,” Black said.

Whether that frisbee golf game actually happens remains to be seen, but the duo behind “Tribute,” which calls itself the greatest song in the world, is promising the greatest show in the world.

“It’s tough because we are considered a comedic act,” Black said. “So when you say it is actually the best concert you are ever going to see, they go, ‘yeah yeah, go on, you’re pulling my leg,’ right, because it is a joke. But no we are not joking, it is actually the best show of all time, and what are you going to do? I guess we are just a couple of clowns.”

The show starts at 8 p.m. on Wednesday. Tickets are still available through Ticketmaster .
