Tenacious D is an American rock duo that was formed in Los Angeles, California in 1994. Composed of lead vocalist and guitarist Jack Black and lead guitarist and vocalist Kyle Gass, the band has released three albums – Tenacious D (2001), The Pick of Destiny (2006) and Rize of the Fenix (2012). Tenacious D's studio releases, and (as of 2006) its live performances, feature a full band lineup, including such musicians as guitarist John Konesky and bassist John Spiker. Drummer Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters, Nirvana) has played on every studio release.
The band first gained popularity in 1997 when they starred in their eponymous television series and began to support large rock acts. In 2001, they released Tenacious D, their debut album featuring a full band. The first single, "Tribute," was the band's most successful achieving their only Top 10 in any chart, until they released "The Metal", which was shown on Saturday Night Live. In 2006, they starred in, and recorded the soundtrack for, the film Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny. In support of the film, the band went on a world tour, appearing for the first time with a full band. They released their newest album Rize of the Fenix on May 15, 2012.
Tenacious D: The Greatest Band on Earth is a TV series that ran on HBO in 1997, 1999 and 2000. It featured the fictional accounts of the real band Tenacious D, which is composed of members Jack Black and Kyle Gass. All of the episodes of the show are available on Tenacious D's The Complete Masterworks DVD.
The show included many songs that would later be recorded for the band's studio albums Tenacious D and The Pick of Destiny.
Dispute with HBO
According to Kyle Gass, HBO offered Tenacious D a deal to make ten episodes, but in doing so, they would have to relinquish their role as executive producers. Gass and Jack Black decided to make a movie instead of giving HBO creative control of Tenacious D, and they made The Pick of Destiny.
Episodes
There were three episodes total in the season; episodes consisted of two shorts, shown back-to-back. Altogether, the duration was 23 minutes. All the episodes combined can be viewed on The Complete Masterworks, the full runtime is 70 minutes.
Tenacious D is the first studio album by Americancomedy rock band Tenacious D, released on September 25, 2001 by Epic Records. The album's polished production was a departure from the band's acoustic origins, due in part to the production of the Dust Brothers.
"Tribute" was the first single released from the album, followed by "Wonderboy". Both singles had music videos filmed for them, with the Liam Lynch–directed Tribute video achieving cult status. While Tenacious D did not achieve chart success after its release, it was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America by the end of 2005. Despite only peaking at #38 in the UK, it had sold 426,000 copies countrywide by 2006.
Conception
For their first album, they enlisted the help of drummer Dave Grohl, keyboardist Page McConnell of Phish, guitarist Warren Fitzgerald, and bass player Steven Shane McDonald. The Dust Brothers produced the album. The majority of the songs on their debut album stem from early versions as seen on their HBO TV series, Tenacious D. The record itself does not list the song titles on the back cover as is the convention but instead on the back cover of the jacket; therefore one must open the CD (after presumably buying it) to read them. This is perhaps to allow songs with expletives or words otherwise deemed offensive to escape censorship or omission.

Tenacious D - History
They are the greatest band!
Sorry i didn't take lyrics in the movie and also my bad english . HOPE YOU ENJOY!:D Lyrics Down
This is a song called the history of Tenacious D
And its not just a list of bullshit that we've done in the past,
Its a chronicling of our rise
TO POWER!
We ride with kings on mighty steeds across the devil's plain
We've walked with Jesus and his cross
He did not die in vain - No!
We've run with wolves
We've climbed K2, even stopped a moving train
We've traveled through space and time my friends to rock this house again Rock!
We ride and we ride and we'll never subside
We'll ride till the planets collide
And if you say that we do not ride,
I'll tan your fucking hide
RIDE!
Kyle's fingers be silver
Jack's voice then be gold
But lest yo...

Tenacious D - Cosmic shame
Cosmic shame
Tenacious D
If I were to say something to y'all tonight
I'd say set the artist free
I'm talking about the artist inside here in your hearts
Set it free!
Im saying, quit your day job
Yeah and I know a lot of you people here are saying...
"I can't quit my day job, I got kids to feed jack!"
Quit your day job!
Focus on your crafts before it's all over
Youve died, you've squandered it
You fucking robots!
Then after a couple of years
Of you focusing earnestly on your craft
Kg and I will swoop in
We will check on your progress
And we will encourage you to continue!
Or we can say stop...
Then seriously you must stop!
Or penalties will be created and inforced
Listen up!
This is the problem
Sometimes you follow your heart
Sometimes your heart cuts a fart
That's the cosmic shame
Thats...
