Just to make it interesting, we're stripping the music out of the trailer, so it's on you to score your creation. We've brought the lightning, you bring the thunder. You gotta wanna rock to win, baby (if you need some help rockin', we've put up hardcore loops available to get you started).

What are you waiting for? Rock it with the D!

About Tenacious D

Jack Black: There is no disputing the place of the mighty warrior JB in the halls of rock legend. 'Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny' follows JBs dramatic evolution from frustrated childhood prodigy in the town of Kickapoo to become the voice of the greatest band on earth. The world will never be the same.

Kyle Gass: KG or Kage completes the circle of The D. Seeing a spark of potential in Jables, he offers to take him 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.

Contest Content Help

No Links? If you do not see the "zip" links to the contest loops, it may be because you are running firewall or security software with Ad Blocking turned on. If so, please temporarily turn it off and the links should appear.

What is the .acd file in the sample remix? The .acd file is an ACID project file that contains a sample remix made from eight to ten of the contest loops. It can help you learn how to use ACID, or give you ideas about remixing the track. You don't need to use it, but you'll at least want to download the sample remix so that you get the loops.

Can't open the ACID project file? The ACID project file (.acd file) is in ACID 5.0 format. It can be opened in ACID 5.0, but not in previous versions of ACID. If you using a previous version of ACID and you wish to view this file, you can either upgrade or download the current version ACID XPress in the Tools area of this page. However, you do not need to view the .acd file to enter the contest. You can simply use the loops in any version of ACID or in any other software.
