This is not the greatest thread in the world.

No.

This is just a tribute.

Never really understood the cult obsession with Tenacious D, but "**** Her Gently" was, admittedly, pretty damn good.

Watching Pearl Jam now on Tivo. Reign O'er Me was awesome. Never much liked the second song, but at least PJ plays it better than the Who.

Re: jack black/tenacious d

I just watched this whole show and it was pretty freaking incredible - better than most music awards shows. Pearl Jam, Flaming Lips and the Who were all great. Adam Sandler was ****ing brilliant.

Too bad the thread title refers to the part of the show I fast-forwarded through. The rest of the program was great.

The documentary VH1 played last night (at least that's when I saw it) was fantastic. Pete Townsend is the man.

My friend and I can sing that, harmonies and all, and have accidentally started singing it in some very inappropriate places.

Also love the one where he's going through the Drive Thru.

According to Page 6 of today's NY Post (I know, I know), Pete and Roger have it in their contracts that they will not speak to each other during the upcoming tour, and must have hotel rooms far away from each other.

I saw Pearl Jam in a small theater in about 1994 where they played their own stuff for about 90 minutes and then played Neil Young and Who covers for another hour. It was incredible.

Pete want's to be able to download kiddie porn in peace.

That's interesting. When the new Who CD came out a couple years ago, I remember reading that Daltrey was one of Pete's closest confidants and most ardent defenders during his kiddie porn thing.

Maybe they can cover "Money Changes Everything" on this tour.

The Who Sells Out has had a whole new meaning for a long time now.

I did, however, like Sean Penn's dig at VH-1 and MTV just prior to his intro for PJ's performance.

 

[kokane_muthashed]

I TIVO'd this and just caught the first two performances before I had to come to work. Question: Who were the two dudes with Billy Bob Thornton in the intro part of the show?

It would have been better if it had come from anyone other than Sean Penn.

Props as part of his new movie, Swing Vote, probably.

Nothing like a band tribute to pimp your own interests.
