Oh that Jack Black… what a comedian! What an ultra maroon (to borrow from Bugs Bunny).
The actor and musician with goofball metalheads Tenacious D has come out swinging - with tongue firmly planted in cheek presumably - against no less a roster of talent than Jack White, Foo Fighters and Australia's Gotye, claiming his duo's new album, Rize Of The Fenix, "is better than Jack White's Blunderbuss."
Pshaw. See? What a jokester. Speaking to Reuters, Black said that he believed he and Tenacious D bandmate Kyle Gass don't get the credit they're due "because we're clowns." Rare bit of truthful self-reflection, that.Black says, "I do love Jack White's Blunderbuss, I love the Foo Fighters, I love Tom Waits, his new record is incredible and Goyte. But our album is better than all of those, and because we're clowns, we don't get that kind of love."He added: "In a 100 years' time, no one will remember Gotye or the rest, but the shining beacon of The D, they're going to start religions after us."He may be right… or at least, he is poised to have the last laugh. According to an item in Britain's NME, Rize Of The Fenix looks set to top the UK album chart this weekend. As for the Reuters interview, Black also spoke about why he continues to work with Tenacious D despite his successful acting career and said that being part of the duo was the part of his life that gave him "the most satisfaction.""I go and do some other stuff, but I always come back to the D, because it's the best stuff, it's the stuff I get the most satisfaction for. On Tenacious D island, all things are equal, me and Kyle are on level-playing fields."Ha ha.Go on...treat yourself and read these babies:Listen: Tom Cruise covers Def Leppard (for real!)Angry rocker slams ex for "brainwashing" her kidsWatch: Rockers shock customers in crazy beer ad!Nasty letter from Axl Rose to music critic surfacesRocker giving away signed deer skull (?)Queen biopic lands director and star?
