Line 14:
By the time the band signed to a label in 2000, they had a pretty high profile thanks to Black's acting work. Backed by a [[Dream Team]] of musicians that included [[Nirvana (Music)|Dave]] [[Foo Fighters (Music)|Grohl]] on drums and guitars, [[Oingo Boingo]] guitarist Warren Fitzgerald, bassist Steve MacDonald and [[Phish (Music)|Phish]] keyboardist Page McConnell, ''Tenacious D'' showed the band maturing into an outright metal band while still retaining the acoustic guitars and perfecting their outrageous humour and parodies. Split between full band-reworkings of songs from the TV series, a few new songs and comedic skits, the debut blew the minds, kicked the asses (with karate!) and rocked the socks of everyone who ever heard it, and provided the band with its [[Signature Song]]: "Tribute", a tribute to "the best song in the world" that the band played to defeat Satan but promptly forgot afterwards. [[It's a Long Story]].
In 2001, Tenacious D gained notoriety for releasing the extremely bawdy [[Adobe Flash|animated short]] [[Music Video]] by ''[[Ren and Stimpy]]'' creator [[John Kricfalusi]] for the song "F-- Her Gently" which was featured (alongside ''[[Happy Tree Friends]]'') in that year's annual Festival of Sick and Twisted Animation. ([
For their next project, The D decided to blow minds in the movie world as well and began working on a movie, ''[[Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny]]''. A soundtrack was also recorded, named simply ''The Pick of Destiny'' and featuring contributions from Grohl, [[Meat Loaf (Music)|Meat Loaf]] and [[Ronnie James Dio (Music)|Ronnie James Dio]]. The film came out in 2006 and failed at the box office, probably due to Satan's intervention, while the soundtrack got a mixed but positive reception.
