Another identify song/clip...

Hi,

Could you please help me identify a pop-rock-ish song from between 2000-2015 ? I didn't remember much, only the youtube clip was about a guy who dealt with the devil to obtain a magical guitar who make people love his song (maybe a guitar made from ivy or something like that i didn't remember). The lyrics contain "lord of lies" or maybe "lord of flies" and the song was something really mainstream but i didn't find out.

Thank you for your help.

Jack Black and Dave Grohl ruled the mainstream pop-rock world for a spell. Starred in Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny, dealing with the Devil and a magical guitar pick, made from his tooth. Not sure if the Devil's teeth are ivory, or if that's what you meant by ivy, but maybe that helps.

The guy with lasting fame from this sort of thing is still Robert Johnson. InedibleHulk (talk) 16:58, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

While The Devil Went Down to Georgia is rather earlier, I seem to remember it having a resurgence of popularity around the OP's timeframe, I think because it was included in one of the Guitar Hero/Rock Band games. MChesterMC (talk) 10:06, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

The song that immediately came to mind was Tribute by Tenacious D, though those lyrics don't match. Hack (talk) 02:34, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
