“TO BE THE BEST”: DAVE GROHL TEACHES TENACIOUS D HOW TO ROCK AGAIN

I’m still skeptical about the return of Tenacious D, but based on the comments left below my article on that very subject, you folks are not. So you’ll probably enjoy the duo’s new video, “To Be the Best,” which tells the tale of how they came back together following the massive commercial failure of The Pick of Destiny. Dave Grohl (who has played drums on all of the band’s albums and will also do so on the forthcoming Rize of the Fenix) is in it, but you may also enjoy cameos from Val Kilmer and, uh, Josh Groban. Enjoy:
