Tenacious D

Tenacious D is a comedy rock band consisting of Kyle Gass and Jack Black. The two are actors as well as musicians.
They met in Los Angeles when they were both in a theater troupe called "The Actors Gang". Kyle taught Jack how to play a guitar, and decided that, as Jack sang really well, they should form a band.

They started out as stage act then followed a series of short comedy films on HBO. They released their first album, Tenacious D, in 2002. When the pair perform live they do so with just their acoustic guitars. However, for their album, they enlisted the help of Dave Grohl from the Foo Fighters, Phish keyboardist Page McConnell, guitarist Warren Fitzgerald and bass player Steve McDonald. Each make guest appearances. The Dust Brothers produced the album.

Their song "Tribute" was the most requested video on Kerrang TV in 2002, despite it not being released as a single. A cross between "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" and "Stairway to Heaven" the song is a tribute to the "Greatest song in the world", which they have forgotten.
:"This is not the greatest song in the world.
: This is just a tribute.
: Couldn't remember the greatest song in the world.
: This is a tribute"

However, other parts of "Tribute" suggest, by way of resemblance, that the "Greatest song in the world" may in fact be a real, guessable song. Suggestions include One by U2, Kiss From a Rose by Seal, and Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin.

Their song "Wonder Boy" and its video were also well received, as a parody of and tribute to both the fantasy genre and epic metal.

The infamous third single from the album "F**k Her Gently" was released in May 2004. The video was done by an online group.
