The long-awaited Tenacious D feature film, "Tenacious D In The Pick Of Destiny," will be released Nov. 17, with an Epic soundtrack album due three days earlier. Although the full track list has yet to be announced, expect it to feature appearances by Meat Loaf (who plays Jack Black's dad) and Ronnie James Dio, as well as Foo Fighters mastermind Dave Grohl.
Dio also appears in the movie, offering inspiration to the young Black. "

It's a tried and true part of a young rebellious rock kid's life, in that his father hates the music that he likes."
"In the scene, [Black] is 10 or 12," he continued. "His father comes in and rails at him and slams the door. On the back of the door is a big poster of me. He starts singing to the poster: 'Dio, tell me what I should do?' And I come alive off the poster, sing a song and reply to him."
