Tribute to Tribute - Cosmic Bos's tribute to Tribute by Tenacious D

 Hello my rockin' amigo's,

Welcome to the gates of Hell! Where musicians must fight demon's to save the very fabric of our existence. Andy and Nick Jackson (Cosmic Bos) stood before such a demon and used the powers of Tenacious D to save us all. Here is the video evidence of this mighty quest.


Tribute by Tenacious D is arguably the greatest tribute to the greatest song in the world that has even been made. Cosmic Bos have chosen to honour the greatest song in the world by doing a tribute to the tribute to the greatest song in the world.

Brothers Andy and Nick (Jackson) - Cosmic Bos, have been making music for a long time, one of the very first bonding experiences with music for the Jackson brothers was the self titled debut album by Tenacious D - Jack Black and Kyle Gass created a masterpiece with that album, and it was whist visiting America (Florida to be precise, for the theme parks) that the very British Jackson brothers did stumble upon Tenacious D. Purchased from a record store in an outlet mall along with the Spinal Tap Soundtrack, Nick and Andy proceeded to spend their two week holiday learning every lyric, skit and harmony that the album had to offer. Nick was 15 at the time, Andy was 21, and their vocal only rendition of 'F**k Her Gently' on the boat ride to Disneyland was both inappropriate and hilarious.

Tribute is the stand out song on the album, it is a true masterpiece on its own. The video is also a masterpiece in Cosmic Bos's opinion. Nick and Andy learnt to play and perform the song shortly after returning from America. Several years later it would be their party piece, once an acoustic guitar had been located at a party it wouldn't be long before the pre Cosmic Bos brothers would be flig-a-guinging their way through a ropey rendition of Tribute.

Now all these many moons later, Nick and Andy have been making music together as Cosmic Bos for over 5 years, embodying the spirit of the D, continuing their quest to find the greatest song in the world and share it with everyone. They found it only fitting to honour the song that inspired their lifelong quest, give praise to the musical gods that Jack Black and Kyle Gass are, and offer to help them in their quest to be the greatest band in the world, maybe take the septa for a while, maybe even take over as they are getting on a bit now.

Tribute to Tribute is Cosmic Bos's tribute to Tribute by Tenacious D, Andy and Nick attempted to lovingly recreate the original video as much as they could. Not having access to a suitable 'recording booth' as in the original video, the lads just decided to skip all that and cut straight to the song.
