Tenacious D (often referred to as "The D" and sometimes introduced as "The Greatest Band in the world.

In addition, they have since recorded two albums, and starred in their own movie, Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny.

Gass taught Black to play guitar, in exchange for Black's helping him with his actin
