Tenacious D formed in 1994 when the members performed as an acoustic duo. The band first gained popularity in 1999 when they starred in their eponymous TV 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 first shown at Saturday Night Live.
