The image of Jack as a minor ( Troy Gentile ) singing about both using a sword to slit a tartar ’s cockle and his spiritual mob is the funniest picture from the execution , but the most impressive parts come from verses sung by client stars Meat Loaf and Ronnie James Dio .

Beelzeboss

From the import that Jack and Kyle learn the demonic descent of the legendary Pick of Destiny that they   pursue throughout their movie , an eventual musical showdown with the Devil himself ( Dave Grohl ) becomes inevitable .

What results is an epical and climactic 11 - minute heavy - metal melodic battle with Satan entitled " Beelzeboss " .

Karate

What would you do if you evidence your best friend and bandmate about a   somebody you had just fulfill and fallen in lovemaking with , only to find that same friend cuckold you by hitting on the love life of your life the very next day ?
