KICKAPOO

[RSG]

So for them who have heard this song. Do share what you think of it?

I think its a really rocking song. Jack Black's vocals are amazing, and suit the family scene with Mom And Dad (Meat.) What makes this song rock all the more is the vocal contributions from Dio & Meat. Although I prefer Jack's vocals outta them all, for an older tough man, Dad, Meat really knocked the hammer. I enjoyed the lyrics, in ALL the parts. I like the piano touch and the electric guitar progression, when Meat comes in. I mean, Dad ;)

Great piece. I don't know if this counts, but If I were to rate it outta 10, I would give it a 9\10. Bon.

was acutally thinking about that song today and the musical elements that were used, it is very well dome!

The main melody is always the same, but the speed and rhytm is changing:

The first and the last part with JB as narrator got the main melody with acoustic guitar, when he starts his "tasty jam"(:))) it is just one acoustic guitar and the melody is still the same, but more simple. Meat´s part got a fender guitar, powerful, but without many musical compromises, just very strict, and then DIO´s part is done in the style of classical 70´s hard rock, so that every part suits the character who sings it.

Very clever!

I would give it 8 points

I actually really like this song. I especially love it when the guitars kick in hard and speed up slightly just before Meat comes in. The vocal contributions from Dio and Meat are great and Jacks vocals are also fantastic.

I would give the song 8.5/10

[Jayd]

Good song, but there is better on the original album. I would give it 7/10. :D

[Deb]

It reminds me of something from Tommy the Musical lol. All I can see and here is Oliver Reid :shock: But apart from that I really like it :-)

[rick]

thank's for the link's deb's i like the live version but overall it's growing on me to the point where it kick's ass

[Jeanie]

I love "Kickapoo", it's great fun, and I think all the guys do a wonderful job on their individual parts of the song. :)) Would love to hear it on the radio, if it weren't for needing to bleep out most of JB's "tasty jam". LOL

[evil nickname]

I've seen an interview in which JB says that there is a "clean" version. Gotta get that on in the party zone.

[Mick Loaf]

Love it cause I love The D but even more cause Meat is in it!

[Bap]

10/10 from me :D :) Love it :)

[Blainey]

Like the song, although find Meat's vocals strained.

[ChrisBelfast]

Saw it performed live last night at Tenacious D in concert...Kyle Gass did Meat Loafs Part, and now I know why Jack Black does the signing lol. Was a great live song actually too.

[White of High]

Where can I listen it?

I saw The D last night Live and thought Rage Cage did a great job in taking over
from Meat (though of course he's no Meat) in this song.
The whole show was absolutely awesome, what a night.

:lmao:

Meat Loaf kicks ass!

Knew he would.. Now need to see this and get the soundtrack :lmao:.

Thanks :up:

[RadioMaster]

the soundtrack is pretty cool, got some really good songs on it, like Beelzeboss or Baby, it´s just about 30 min though :(

I wish The D would come to Germany!:pray:

[mszee]

I loved the movie...and the song is great...very silly...but did we really expect anything else?

I loved it that Meat plays anti-Meat..hahahahahaha...

[LucyK!]

Knowing that Meat had a very small part in this film I made an effort not to watch any clips or read too much about it so not to spoil the time he was in it....so I had no idea he was going sing, which became very apparent to the hand that was next to me....!!!! A great song and a lovely little surprise!!! :))

[Mick Loaf]

I don't think they played it in Glasgow either but they played Beezleboss
which is great!:-)

And they did Pinball Wizard as an encore!:D

Did they have that really rude comic as a warm up at the Dublin show,
most of the fans were booing but I was laughing my ass off.
Shame his jokes are too rude to repeat here.:(

Yes everyone booed him, i really didnt find him funny, not becuase he was rude but i just thought he was awful. (not quite as bad as tthe one at the RYP last night though lol)

[Mick Loaf]

Went to see The POD tonight and you see the comic just finishing his set,
must be one of Jables mates. Great flick and Kiackapoo was an awesome start.

Glad I missed most of the RYP, had forgotten about it and only put it on just
before Meat came on, how lucky was that?!

[RadioMaster]

question to those who went to the Tenacious D concerts:
Who playes Dave Grohls part in Beelzeboss? It´s a 2 vs. 1 song, dont really see how that should work if either JB or KG would sing the devils part...

[Kathy]

I really like Kickapoo, too - great song! :D

Although Meat's part is very, very short it's excellent!! The trouble is, he's too low in the mix. I hope I'm saying the right thing.. The instrumental part is too loud relative to Meat, and you have to strain your ears to hear him. Well, you can HEAR him all right, it's just that he's putting a lot of inflection into it, and you miss the detail (and even some of the words), which is very frustrating. Some of the really old songs were kind of that way too, but it's worse to encounter that now, because imo he's a better singer now, and I just REALLY want to hear him, every little detail.

I just got the soundtrack, and it's no better on there.

But it's a great song! And I can tell Meat's doing a really great job on it!

[Blackkat13]

Heck when JB and KG where on the tonight show they did Kickapoo and they sang Meats part and Dio's part and it was very clean

[RadioMaster]

havent noticed anything like that on the soundtrack...I think it´s well mixed, but I´m not an expert in things like that.

[mikeloaf]

Does Jack Black model himself on Meat Loaf?

[Lord Kagan]

I like the song, VEry much and not just cause meats in it, Jack Black is an awesome performer in his own right as is Kyle

[Wario]

Meat's part is rock'n and love the numerous use of ****.

bravo

8/10

[LostSoul]

Just bought POD dvd and laughed a lot. Yes, JB's rude but he makes it sound funny...

Meat's vocals are great but I find them a bit strict, he's much more dynamic in the movie.

8/10
