Black is the lead singer for the rock comedy band Tenacious D. They have released two albums, a self-titled debut, and the follow up, The Pick of Destiny (from which their song "The Metal" went on to be used in music video game Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock). The latter coincides with the movie Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny. The film, directed by Tenacious D veteran Liam Lynch, features recurring characters such as Lee the superfan and Sasquatch. Tim Robbins cameos (both Black and Gass appeared in Robbins' 1999 film Cradle Will Rock), as does Dave Grohl as Satan. Ben Stiller also makes an appearance as a worker at Guitar Center, and also another appearance in the music video for Tribute.
Tenacious D recently helped the United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation[9] to raise awareness and funds in San Diego on June 16, 2007. Tenacious D can also be seen performing in the Pauly Shore film Bio-Dome, where the duo are performing at a "Save the Environment" party. Black was also a guest star on an episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show entitled "Ellen the Musical", alongside Broadway star Kristin Chenoweth and teenage singer-actress Olivia Olson. On the show, besides singing, he discussed his then-upcoming film Nacho Libre with the host.
Black has also appeared on Dave Grohl's Probot album, providing vocals for the hidden song "I Am The Warlock", and Liam Lynch's Fake Songs album, providing vocals for the song "Rock and Roll Whore". Black performed a cover of Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On" in the last sequence of High Fidelity. He lent his musical abilities to the Queens of the Stone Age song "Burn the Witch" with rhythmic stomps and claps, some performed with his eyes closed.
Black has appeared in music videos by Beck, "Sexx Laws"; Foo Fighters "Learn To Fly", "Low", and "The One"; The Eagles of Death Metal, "I Want You So Hard (Boy's Bad News)"; Sum 41 "Things I Want"; and Weezer "Photograph."

Hey Jack...We opened for Kyle/Trainwreck in Oklahoma City twice. Great fun. Check out our stuff if you get a second. Our MySpace (www.myspace.com/drpants5) actually has a couple of newer things on it, so check that out...Word.
Yep I saw it about a week ago. Purty funny although I thought the parts with Tom Cruise were awkward. What was the name of that movie where the guy smokes a lot of bud and then he takes his girlfriend(Brittany Murphy) to the woods and they eat acid and get lost?
... whereas Headflap suffers from the mental and actual condition universally known as total freegin obscurity... and so, such monitoring activities are not yet necessary for its 4 and sometimes 5 members to engage in. Oh shit. Ended in a preposition. Here, Kyle, have an Ambien CR.

Hey Man, I called your office. Of course the receptionist had no clue as to who I am. So I said I was calling to request an interview. You can add Tenacious D music and videos but I cannot sell it for you - sorry. Yes you can invite Robert & Ben and do movie promos - got in touch with your web guy and he will get me some banners. Next time you ask me to call your office at least let them know who I am - sorta feel like bird droppings!
