M.I.A. Is Not A Fan Of Tenacious D
Filed under: Music Minute > M.I.A. > Jack Black > Twitter
M.I.A. is pissed!
Maya is scheduled to perform at the Outside Lands Music & Arts Festival, taking place in San Francisco on August 30th, but only booked the show because she thought the Beastie Boys would be performing!
Well, the Beasties have cancelled all tour dates due to MCA's cancer recovery, so Jack Black stepped up to the plate and he and Kyle Gass will be taking the Beasties' place at the festival with a Tenacious D performance.
And boy, M.I.A. is not happy with the lineup change!
Writes the performer on her official Twitter:
I ORIGINALLY BOOKED ON SHOWS COZ BEASTIES WERE HEADLINERS , BUT NOW THEY AINT DOING IT AND I JUS WANNA SAY , WE HAVE TO GO HARD!!!
CANT BELIEVE THEY REPLACED BEASTIES WITH TENACIOUS D ??????????????????????AND IF I PULL OUT THEY SUE! SO REALLY? TENACIOUS D AFTER ME ?
SO ME AND JACK BLACK ARE BACK TO BACK, BEASTIES GET WELL SOON!
YOUR ALL WELCOME ON STAGE FROM THE GET GO, FUCK IT! IM TAKIN BIRD FLU OUT OF THE SET ! JUS TO MAKE A POINT!
Yikes.
Insensitive, or….???
TENACIOUS D SUCKS ANYWAY…. agrreeed w/ MIA.
Who are you again bitch? I think you better be thankful for every job you get considering your "job" consists of saying "uh" "uh" "uh" In a microphone over and over.
She has no idea how irrelevant she is!
Jack Black is talented but the Kyle Gass guy brings NOTHING to the table
I don't know what her problem is… Tenacious D rocks.
Team M.I.A
Actually if you read the outsidelands message board, that is pretty much the sentiment of the whole board. No one wants Tenacious D to perform.
I hate T.D. aswell, M.I.A. rulz
I think that she has WAY too big of a head, she seriously thinks that SHE is more famous than TENACIOUS D?? Really? Didn't you only have, what….one? two songs? Ohhh shit, so much better than them. At least they are creative with their music…you just groan into the damn microphone and barely anyone can completely understand what you are saying. Get over yourself hooker, you really think you are going to be relevant in a year or two? Doubtful, very doubtful. Shut the hell up.
lol hhaaahaaa at least she doesn't take shit from no one
Who is M.I.A. anyway , a nobody. get a life MIA and move along
My my. Someone's getting too big for their boots. *rolls eyes*
i love m.i.a but this is a bit out of order.
Why can't people use spell check before posting? Internet browsers actually have automatic spell check on nowadays… Are they that important they can't click on a red squiggle word?
Get over yourself MIA. You're lucky you're even on the bill.
This sucks as I like them both
don't fight!!! MIA THIRD WORLD DEMOCRACY!! 
P.S. I am glad she cares about her fans, lol.
Um, shut up and do your job.
I like her, but maybe she shouldn't publicly spit on her paycheck?
And not to mention, it's unfair and rude to Tenacious D
Who on earth is MIA? Jack Black is the man!
what a dumb bitch. she should be grateful that she was picked to perform in the first place. so many artists and/or ppl without talent would kill to be in her position. doesn't she have more ugly clothes to put on her kid? Who's M.I.A. again? Illegal? Maybe.
I think she's pissed cause her and TD have nothing in common. So it'll be really weird. It makes sense for her to open for Beasties but not a musical comedy rock duo. Makes sense to me.
Loser, she should be greatful and helpful !
jack black loves music with a passion
ROCK ON T D!!!!!!
This is the University "I am the Shiz" located at Number 10 Park Plaza Washington D.C.,,,Our records indicate that you forgot to pick up your "Certificate of Graduation" yes,,,,yes,,,well there is a slight problem,,yeahhhh, you have an outstanding balance of $18.97,,,,,
okay i like her but she needs to get over herself.
okay- she is an IDIOT- who the hell IS SHE? I love the "D" she just doesn't get it….
can i say, crazy bitch much?
Whoa. I love M.I.A but really??? What did Jack Black ever do to you??? Jack seems like a really cool guy, what does she have against him and Tenacious D??? Besides, if she only agreed to part of this because of the Beastie Boys, she might as well just said no. So rude…

'Who is MIA anyways….. comes across as uneducated, illiterate, and immature….

Well, I don't think INSENSITIVE is the word here.
ARROGANT, MISGUIDED, STUPID AS FUCK AND TOTALLY FULL OF HERSELF, maybe.
She's an idiot. Your or cancer treatment? Hmm. Let me think.
And Tenacious D Fucking rules!
When class is the first thing in aperson's life
MIA YOU suck,not them!You are an horrible person for writing that and there's no excuse.I bet not even beastie boys are happy for that and noone fuind this right in anyway.What are you,12??
stupid spoiled !
Well if she's so angry then drop the hell out. too big for her boots it seems
butt she was a bittt bitchyyy.
'TENACIOUS D AFTER ME ?' Wth, who does she think she is? to be honest i've never heard of her, unless shes that one that did lady mamalade… if she is thats the only song of hers i've heard or know about…. Get Over Your Self!
LOL who does this dumb bitch think she is! She is irrelevant.
Why does she have to be such a little whiny bitch? Tenacious D is awesome. Yes they are comedians, but they rock as well and are very talented musicians. Maybe she should shut her trap and be thankful she still gets paying gigs. Go retire again MIA, hardly anyone cares.
M.I.A GO SUCK A COCK!!!!!!
"IT'S TENACIOUS D TIME, YOU BETTER FUCKIN RHYME……..FUCK YEAH!!" Seriously….who is MIA? Everyone at least has heard of Tenacious D, so her little rant is pretty much irrelevant.
My Perezcious has extended an invitation for M.I.A. to join the Perezcious Presents tour and open for Sliimy. That would surely be a giant step up.
M.I.A is fucking amazing, all you haters don't know shit.
All this chick is known for is "singing" on stage while pregnant. Another waste of space.
Re: Corey_Vacate – And THAT is why everyone should use firefox.
Tenacious D are alright…at least their known, who are you again?
I'd be pissed if I were her too!
fkn rude. arent they classically trained guitarists?
I think M.I.A is way rad and all but what a big head. Tenacious D deserves to be the headliner way more than she does. She should get over herself.
WHAT A BITCH. LIKE SHE'S THAT IMPORTANT OR FAMOUS HERSELF. LOL FOREVER. STFU!
Geez, I think she's amazing but she's being a bitch. What point is she trying to make? Beastie Boys canceled. Focus on your own damn set and don't be concerned with who comes after you.
The way Outsidelands is set up, the D doesn't come on until like an hour after her set. It's not like they're even sharing the damn stage.
.
Anyways I'm gonna be at that show!! And I'm super excited to see her AND TENACIOUS D. AND the Dead Weather!!!! They're all gonna be great. Quit the drama. Will NOT go over well in San Francisco!! Peace & love
Tenacious D forever. Long live Rage Kage! Jack is the front man but Kyle is the soul.
She seems dumb as a stump.
I like MIA but she's being beyond unprofessional on this one. So the Beastie Boys pull and Tenacious D is gracious enough to drop everything to step in…and she bags on them? Poor form, for sure.
Re: vancity –
It is irrelivant that she would preform with T.D but she is complaining that she is opening for them like she is better or something wich is definately not the case.
Who's Tenacious D? I'm dead serious I don't know who the hell they are. Anyway, Team M.I.A !
She really needs to get over herself.
Um I think that MIA is talented but Tenacious D is full on, can't fuck with that, rock and roll. They're amazing. So what, they're not a hip hop act so she ain't wanna play before them? Anyone that thinks that the D isn't talented are clearly more about new pop than they are about genuine muscianship.
What a no talent P.O.S. she is!!! JB should give her a Cleveland Steamer!
no way! i'd be so pissed if i bought tickets to see the beastie boys and fucking tenacious d ended up replacing them. she's right.
what an arrogant little twat
pineapple express made her hella popular, she better shut her mouth.
what a fukin bitch!!
If the fact that the Beasties were headlining was the reason she booked, then she can pull out. they've changed the terms by having Tenacious D so she should bea able to legally get out of the bargain if she really wanted to.
I EFFIN LOVE TENACIOUS D! "Fuck her gently" is a fuckin classic. Its not Jack Black put cancer into MCA's bod. Shes being a total twat and should just appreciate being there in the first place.
they both suck so its perfect. for someone whos really known for ONE song…she seems to have quite the ego.
Now that I think about it MIA is the one that is irrelivant. Tenacious D and The Dead Weather! Fuck ya that is a good show. Why would MIA even play there with them?
What is "bird flu"? I assume its one of her rap songs. Good thing her name is MIA because who the f*ck is this person?
ha! she's just a one hit wonder anyway (would have been a NO Hit NOBODY if not for that stupid movie) - blah, blah, blah - she was big in the UK, so what, you can keep her and her terrorist daddy
-
however, Jack Black is no prize pig either - while he seems like a sort of nice guy, his movies are awful and his music is banal - I can't see this guys appeal
She's a no one.. Who cares what this ugly ho has to say..
wow… jack black is so much cooler than MIA…
pus she cant sing to save her life!!!
ahaha i remember seeing her on an awards show and i just had to turn off the tv for 5 mins so i couldnt see her. she sucks shit!!
MIA is a gimmick, and no one will care who she is in 2 years. What an Entitled Bitch. GET OVER YOURSELF!
its funny that some of you are asking who she thinks she is, that you've never heard of her, etc., when the reality is, you've probably heard paper planes come on in a shop, restaurant, or bar, and started jammin to it.
MIA is the shit. tenacious d doesnt even compare.
I hate Tena D They fucking suck.
That fuck gently song got played out a long ass time ago and it was always lame…Why would I bump that shit in my ride….Another thing to her Diva much dead? You are not THE SHIT….and you cannot compare to BEASTIES you just dont and you wont ever…I might be pissed too but I would give a shit if you didnt play a song at your concert just because they are not there…Lame way to throw a bratty fit…What do you have like 2 or three famous songs??? which one of them is bcuz its a FUCKING HOOK IN SOMEONES SONG
TENACIOUS D sucks!
We know weve heard paper planes your moron. We know who the fuck m.i.a. is sophia you retard i like that one song and i like swagger like us the song that only has her HOOk in it
Re: Sexybitch_420 – Exactly! I don't think she's all that..
Personally I consider her and Tenacious D as the same level musically, both are crap for me.
Re: spacedog –
I think you just like saying the word "irrelevant." You think it makes you sound intelligent..well, it doesnt, dork. M.I.A. is extremely groundbreaking and unique, thus the relevance.
Woah dude. Bitch needs to take a step back & realize that she's a nobody who will be totally forgotten by this time next year.
Does she not realize that he is more famous than her? And this is what she has to complain about? Your life is not that hard, you fucking diva.
I used to like MIA before I heard these ego inflated comments. ROCK ON TENACIOUS D! They deserve to be after her, seeing as how they actually can play instruments and are virtuosos, anyway..
And who exactly is M.I.A., anyway? At least everyone knows who Jack Black is. Wtf has she done, besides two or three songs? She seems to think she matters. Go the fuck home, byatch, and make more ugly babies (you were right to name your kid Ickid. That's what many people thought when they first saw him…ICK!!!)
Are you serious? Tenacious D is awesome! They can play their instruments and Jack Black can actually sing. Their songs are funny, as they are supposed to be but its still good music you can enjoy. M.I.A needs to get her head out of her a** bc she is the nobody compared to Jack Black! Is she for real?!!? I love how losers like her have their one hit wonder song and think they are better then everyone. She is the one who shouldn't have a record contract. Get over yourself b*tch.
dramatic.
apparently a lot of you don't know shit about M.I.A.
she's well known for her music!
tenacious d is just soooo damn famous…
tenacious d just doesn't fit with what M.I.A. is all about. the beasties and her at least meshed well musically.
i mean really.
Anyone is better than her.
Re: sofia692 – I think they're aware of who she is; they just don't care. Paper Planes = Overrated.
she clearly has no clue that D has an enormous fan base. what an idiot she is.
I completely understand her being upset. She and D play very different styles of music. The beasties would have drawn her kind of crowd, while D might change the audience make-up considerably. Her and the beasties were just a better match. Plus, D isn't famous as much for it's music as it is for Jack Black. Nothing against Jack or D - Just stating facts.
What a bitch! What does she have, like ONE hit song? I like Tenacious D. She's lucky to be sharing a stage with Jack Black since she's a nobody.
Wow this shows how grossly ungrateful she is. What a bitch move, her new stuff sucks anyway, and her old stuff wasn't so great either.
This Bitch ain't ALL that…long after she's gone Jack will still be around…sorry just the truth
I agree that Tenacious D is a weak replacement for the Beastie Boys. However, MIA's comments were out of line. Who the fuck does she think she is? Jack Black is 1000 times more famous than her. She's just another flash in the pan and will fade away over time. She should be lucky she is so far up on the bill. I hope people boo her when she hits the stage.
MIA does what song again?
Re: sofia692 – yeah, you're right. i did rock out to paper planes after the clash wrote it as 'straight to hell' in 1982. the only parts of that song that are actually good are the parts she sampled from other people and the stupid gunshot sound effects.
you'd think as a fan of the beasties she'd at least be gracious and understanding that one of her idols has cancer and support the people who came in last minute to replace them. i can't imagine how she would behave at an event aimed towards charity or the likes. she seems incredibly self-centered.
She can say whatever the hell she wants. So she wants to be beside a real musical act not a parody. makes sense to me.
Never heard of this bitch before. Tenacious D are gonna wipe the floor with her and she's upset about it. Suck it up princess.
She is homely and is a nobody as far as I'm concerned
bitch.
Re: BeautifulBrunnette69 – Yea, she makes good tunes, but she's so full of herself, it's sickening..
i can't understand a word she twitted.
English, please.
