BRETT LYDA AGREES TO MEET WITH DIO



History was made Thursday November 9th at the "Tenacious D: Pick of Destiny" movie premiere as Brett Lyda agreed to meet with the original pioneer of heavy metal, Black Sabbath's very own Ronnie James Dio! There was no shortage of star power on hand for the D's triumphant night at Mann's Chinese Theatre: Jack Black, Kyle Gass, Ben Stiller, Dave Grohl, Eve, John C. Reilly, Jeremy Priven, to name a few.

Why Dio didn't settle for a photo-op with any of these flavor-of-the-month phonies is but a riddle. Yet, at the finely catered afterparty in The Roosevelt Hotel, Dio approached Lyda's people and respectfully asked if the Holy Diver himself could please, please have but a moment of Brett's time for one little photograph. Of course, like any gracious celebrity, he agreed, and the rest is history.
