Tenacious D "Rise Of The Fenix" – Vidiot

KC — Tue, 08 May 2012 23:27:09 +0000

The dudes from Tenacious D are making their way back on to the scene with a new album. "Rise Of The Fenix" is scheduled to be released next Tuesday (May 15th). I am stoked to hear what these two geniuses came up with this time. It is considered their comeback album and the video features them wielding guitars that morph into swords and laser beams shooting out of their eyes. Sounds about like how I am used to seeing Tenacious D.

KC — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 23:37:11 +0000

I discovered the new UCS video this morning when I got to work. Lets just say that I didn’t accomplish anything for at least an hour. I watched this video over and over and I think I may have pee’d a little in my britches from laughing so hard. Per, UCS’ bassist, has out done [...]

The days of the “BIG Budget” music videos have seem to have faded away. Like take GnR’s “November Rain” for example. That video made you feel like you were watching a movie and not a music video. Well, FFDP decided that htey would give it a shot and amp up the “cinematic” value of their [...]
