"Tenacious D" felt like light-hearted rock opera made by stoners that was palatable to a broad cross section of listeners with a coarse sense of humor. The band wasn't afraid to crack jokes and have fun with its crude 'n' comedic spin on rock. The project was a breath of fresh air in a post-nu metal and post-grunge era where the rock radio airwaves remained either angry or dreary. "Tenacious D", the album, featured Kyle Gass's smooth acoustic guitar playing and Jack Black's intentionally melodramatic, sometimes operatic singing capabilities, clearly formidable in their own right, proving the two far more than comedians thinly veiled as a band.
CAST OF APOCALYPTO SERIES
The pair went on to release a short HBO series in the late nineties before hitting pay dirt with its 2001 self-titled debut. The two men were actors in a Los Angeles-based theater company before banding together in 1994. The considerable talent at hand lends itself to the notion that it can certainly turn the tide, but with "Post-Apocalypto", the losing streak continues. But while the platinum-selling, Grammy Award-winning, one-of-a-kind comedy metal and hard rock duo started off strong, the duo certainly fumbled the ball and stumbled into the sidelines. The accolades bestowed upon the musical jokesters have been impressive and noteworthy. TENACIOUS D has returned with its absurdist humor and tunes.
