Conception

For their first album, they enlisted the help of drummer Dave Grohl, keyboardist Page McConnell of Phish, guitarist Warren Fitzgerald, and bass player Steven Shane McDonald. David Eric Grohl (born January 14 1969 is an American rock musician Singer and Songwriter. Page Samuel McConnell (born May 17, 1963 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is a pianist/organist/keyboardist most noted for his work with the Phish is an American Jam band noted for their Musical improvisation, extended Jam sessions and cult following Warren Fitzgerald (born September 15, 1968) is an American Punk rock Musician, Guitarist, Songwriter, and Steven Shane McDonald (born May 24, 1967) was the bass player in the Los Angeles Alternative rock / Power pop band The Dust Brothers produced the album. The Dust Brothers are the Los Angeles -based Grammy Award winning producers "E The majority of the songs on their debut album stem from early versions as seen on their HBO TV series, Tenacious D. Tenacious D was a TV series that ran on HBO in 1997 1999 and 2000 The record itself does not list the song titles on the back cover as is the convention but instead on the back cover of the jacket; therefore one must open the CD (after presumably buying it) to read them. This is perhaps to allow songs with expletives or words otherwise deemed offensive to escape censorship or omission. Despite only charting at #38 in the UK, it has sold over 400,000 copies and has gone platinum as a result.

The recording session for the album began with a two-day session at Neil Diamond's studio in Los Angeles. Neil Leslie Diamond (born January 24, 1941) is an American Singer-songwriter and occasional Actor. Los Angeles (lɑˈsændʒələs los ˈaŋxeles in Spanish) is the largest City in the state of California and the American West They were able to use the studio because Diamond had just appeared with Black in the film Saving Silverman, in which Black plays a Neil Diamond cover singer. Saving Silverman is a 2001 Comedy film, directed by Dennis Dugan. "Diamond claims it was the Liberty Records studio," King says. "It's a really old place. "[3] At least one song was cut from the final release of the album. A studio recording of "Jesus Ranch," the final song from the HBO shorts (the closing credits feature the end of "The Road"), was omitted from the album because "it just didn't cut the mustard" (quoted by the D in the FAQ section of their website). The HBO version can be found on their DVD, The Complete Masterworks, and a recorded studio demo can be found on their 2002 EP, D Fun Pak. D Fun Pak is an EP by Tenacious D. It was released on April 29, 2002 by Epic Records.
