Who's the bigger D?
TIM CAMPBELL | Updated 8/17/2012
Charlie Daniels or Tenacious D?
Spoiler alert: The new movie "Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny" climaxes in a "rock-off" between the devil (Dave Grohl, with some pretty impressive horns) and Tenacious D's Jack Black and Kyle Gass. But didn't country star Charlie Daniels already do this in his hee-hawin' 1979 hit "The Devil Went Down to Georgia"?
HERO
TDWDTG: Johnny, a fiddler who is "the best that's ever been."
TD: Tenacious D, "the greatest rock band in the world."
WHAT'S AT STAKE
TDWDTG: The devil bets Johnny "a fiddle of gold against your soul."
TD: The devil will get Kyle as his "little bitch" or, if he loses, pay the D's back rent.
TRASH TALK
TDWDTG: "Devil just come on back if you ever want to try again. I told you once, you son of a bitch, I'm the best that's ever been."
TD: "We will defeat you, for all mankind. You hold the scepter, we hold the key. You are the devil, we are the D."
THE OUTCOME
TDWDTG: "The devil bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat."
TD: "Ow! My fuckin' horn!"
OFFICIAL POSITION ON THE DEITY
TDWDTG: Daniels says now: "I would never do anything to glorify the devil. ... I believe every word in the Bible is true."
TD: According to Gass, "The Lord prefers more of a light rock, like Daniel Powter." But Black says: "No, not 'Bad Day.' He likes lots of heavy stuff, like Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath."
