1 | * ''The Pick of Destiny'' has its moments, but what stands out is when, while wearing the titular pick around his neck, Jables screams a high note into a microphone, which promptly ''bursts into flames''. They call it "Master Exploder" for a reason - later, he even makes a person in the crowd's [[YourHeadASplode head burst apart]], having literally blown their mind. |
2 | * The film wastes no time and establishes its tone and [[RefugeInAudacity attitude]] in the very first line of the opening song: "A long-ass fuckin' time ago, in a town called Kickapoo..." Then it promptly segues into young Jables' hilarious [[ClusterFBomb "tasty jam,"]] performed for his [[WhiteAngloSaxonProtestant WASP]] family just as they're in the middle of [[SeriousBusiness saying grace before dinner.]] Chances are you either love the movie immediately or are simply not the intended audience. |
3 | ** Thought what Jables' dad does is cruel and disproportionate, it's also amazing to hear Meat Loaf absolutely ''belting'' out a musical fire-and-brimstone sermon. Jack Black said after Aday's death that he begged him to be part of the movie, for obvious reasons. |
4 | ** After getting a spanking, having all his rock posters torn down, and being grounded for a week, Jables prays for guidance to a poster of Ronnie James Dio (which survived being ripped to shreds by not being visible behind his room door). ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmU7FshBwgg&feature=player_detailpage#t=134 And Dio answers in song]]''. |
5 | *** Even better? [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4YgA0mSF0Q Dio nailed his vocal parts in]] [[OneTakeWonder one take]]. |
6 | * Jables and Kage [[IndyHatRoll powerslide to safety]] in the Museum of Rock [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKzULgS09hc as the guards open fire on them]], set to The Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again". |
7 | * The entire Beelzeboss: The Final Showdown scene, where they challenge the devil to a Rock Off. Which they lose, but through ThePowerOfRock (well, Jables' guitar) manage to defeat the devil anyway. |
8 | ** Even with their loss in mind, the two put up ''one hell'' of a fight (even the Devil himself reacted with surprise a couple of times despite himself); the song is basically a lyrical BadassBoast and just keeps building, finishing with a succinct yet epic finishing chorus. |
9 | --->''You hold the scepter,\ |
10 | We hold the key!\ |
11 | You are the Devil\ |
12 | [[BadassBoast We are the D!]]'' |
