Tenacious D was a real band before they become characters in a movie. Before Jack Black was a superstar and Kyle Gass a character actor, the duo had formed the loudest acoustic band ever to rock the world. They were able to play their way into a three-episode HBO series before getting their own feature film. The film allowed them to share the screen with Ronnie James Dio. Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny is finally getting upgraded to Blu-ray as part of the Shout Select series. Here’s the press release with the bonus features from Shout! Studios:
