Synopsis
The legend of the fabled ‘Pick of Destiny’ infuses every page of rock history. This is no ordinary pick, my friends; its sheer power could shake the pillars of Algernon. It is a thing of lore… a thing of magic. Since the dark ages, this supernatural pick has been passed down through many hands. The world’s most awesome composers. The hardest of hard rockers. Many of the great masterpieces in music were due to this pick’s powerful spell. Now, the time draws nigh when the pick will be passed to the next generation of rock – the ones they call Tenacious D. As the heroes of the ‘D,’ young Jables (Jack Black) and Kage (Kyle Gass) are on the fast path to becoming the most incredible band that ever was. When Kage sees a spark of potential in young Jables, a frustrated childhood prodigy from the town of Kickapoo, he offers to take the young man under his wing and guide him in the ways of rock. As he directs his apprentice down the hard road of sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll, it’s inevitable that the two kings will combine forces to change the face of rock forever. This is the tale of a friendship that would last through the ages, a battle against the devil for the legendary crown of rock, and a musical and spiritual synergy so strong that it would reshape our very understanding of the concept of music… forever. This is the story of Tenacious D in 'The Pick Of Destiny.'
