Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny Poster

In the movie "Tenacious D The Pick of Destiny" naive Midwesterner JB bonds with local slacker KG and they form the rock band Tenacious D. Setting out to become the world's greatest band is no easy feat, so they set out to steal what could be the answer to their prayers --a magical guitar pick housed in a rock-and-roll museum some 300 miles away.

I'm not exactly sure how to use the word 'tenacity' but it does mean the quality or state of being tenacious. Tenacious means seeking something valued or desired & in the movie the band is seeking a magical guitar pic that could solve all of their problems.

I'm a give it a try... The band's tenacity was because of the guitar pic they felt they needed.
