10 Best Tenacious D Songs
5. Roadie - Rize Of The Fenix
Dedicated to the under-appreciated foot soldiers of the music business, Roadie is another track that is able to invoke genuine laughter as well as intrigue for the subject of the song. Black sings with potency as he recounts a day in the life of the titular roadie as he carries, installs, constructs, tests and fine tunes the gear for Tenacious D whilst longing for the appreciation he truly deserves.
The song starts softly before gradually building up into an outburst of music and emotion as the band shine a light on those who work tirelessly to make the music happen. A power ballad in every sense, Roadie finds itself being one of the band's most sincere tracks, with a touch of comedy to make it something extra special.
