Official Blizzard Quote:
We're awestruck to announce that Tenacious D, the greatest band in the history of the world, will take the stage at BlizzCon 2010 to close out two days of epic entertainment!
Although tickets to the convention are sold out, you can still catch all of the panels and events, including Tenacious D's performance, with BlizzCon Virtual Ticket. ( http://blizzcon.rayv.com/ ) online or via DIRECTV in the United States. The Virtual Ticket multi-channel Internet stream allows viewers to switch between multiple channels of live HD coverage dedicated to different areas of the show.
Check out the press release ( http://us.blizzard.com/en-us/company/press/pressreleases.html?101011 )to learn more about this soon-to-be legendary rock spectacle!
In addition, the 48-hour pre-BlizzCon sale is supposed to be starting today granted there are no more issues.
It balances out. I get even more glad that I'm not!
Jack Black is seriously the epitomy of the phrase "douche bag." He is a horrible artist. A horrible song writer. A horrible comedian... and just outright sucks. The whole fact that they are bringing him to blizzcon makes me doubt Blizzard.
?
Doing more than Jack Black or Scyber? If it was Scyber I wasn't disrespecting him I was disrespecting Jack Black. That man is worthless (Jack Black is Tenacious D)
Oh no you di'n't!
Second, you gotta be kidding me. The guy from the movie School of Rock?
Wow...just...wow...
that's it. the best! from their movie "The Pick of Destiny". especially the Devil's jam is AWESOME! wouldnt be surprised if they play this at Blizzcon and have the Devil be dressed as Diablo
Well, I think the Diablo team could get some good inspiration from him getting ripped apart by BlizzCon attendees.
Also, I think it's hilarious that Blizzard would pick Tenacious D, a band whose entire premise is a satire of themselves, to play at con. Rage and Kage are exactly what the stereotypical D3 player will look like after the first month (overweight, unkempt) with a similar amount of excessive enthusiasm (about D3 as opposed to rock). I also bet Bashiok had something to do with the D getting chosen. He definitely shares their sense of humor.
Yeah man. What the hell.. Tenacious D is a great band. Anyone that say they're talentless or whatever obviously don't know anything about music. Sure they're a "comedy" band and maybe not for everyone, but to say they don't have talent is just fucking retarded.
