RONNIE JAMES DIO: More Details Revealed About 'Pick Of Destiny' Soundtrack Appearance
September 25, 2006Legendary heavy metal vocalist Ronnie James Dio (DIO, RAINBOW, BLACK SABBATH) is featured in the song "Kickapoo", which opens the soundtrack to TENACIOUS D's film "Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny", due Nov. 14 via Epic. Also making an appearance in the song is Meat Loaf.
Dio also appears in the movie, offering inspiration to the young Black. "I got to play myself, which was not much of a stretch," he told Billboard.com earlier this year. "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."
"Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny" will open in theaters on November 17.
