Tenacious D (sometimes referred to as "The D"  is an American rock band composed of musicians and actors Kyle Gass and Jack Black. Their style meshes rock with other musical styles such as comedy rock and folk rock. They are known for their upbeat classic rock style and vulgar comedy. The band first gained popularity in 1999 when they starred in a self-titled HBO television series, in which Black and Gass established themselves as "The D" and the "Greatest Band in the World." Tenacious D released Tenacious D (#38 UK), in 2001. For their first album, they enlisted the help of Foo Fighters lead singer Dave Grohl, keyboardist Page McConnell of Phish, guitarist Warren Fitzgerald of the Vandals, and bassist Steve McDonald of Redd Kross. The Dust Brothers produced the album. The majority of the songs on the album are based on their short-lived HBO television series. The first single off of the album was "Wonderboy", which has since become popular on both college radio and modern rock stations. The second single is the band's signature song "Tribute" a tribute to the "greatest and best song in the world", which according to the duo they once played to outwit a demon, but which they have now forgotten. Early versions of the song incorporated guitar riffs borrowed from Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven", suggesting comically that the so-called "greatest song" was in fact that song, but this was minimized in the album version. Two singles "Dio", and Fuck Her Gently were also released Several songs on this album are preceded by "skits" where Jack and Kyle go through some sort of rudimentary creative process or argument which immediately precedes the next song. Most of these skits are adapted from episodes of their show and showcase the band's absurdist humor. from wikipedia.org I love them! I know that a lot of you lot do aswell. My favourite songs are Explosivo, Lee and Rock Your Socks. Their film "Tenacious D in The Pick Of Destiny" is coming out later this autumn and they're releasing a self-written soundtrack to accompany it. Not sure if you've heard the new single yet, but if you have you'll know it FUCKING ROCKS!
