In 1995, Down released their debut album, NOLA. The band went on indefinite hiatus in 1996 but returned three years later with Pantera bassist Rex Brown replacing Strange.

Down released their fourth album Down IV Part I – The Purple EP in September 2012 and Down IV – Part II of a four-part series of EPs.
Keenan plays guitar and sings a part of the second verse on Metallica’s cover of the Lynyrd Skynyrd song “Tuesday’s Gone”. He also recorded a number of other songs in the same session, but this was the only one given a general release (on the album Garage Inc.), the others only being available as bootlegs. Keenan is good friends with lead singer and guitarist James Hetfield. Hetfield provided backing vocals on “Man or Ash” from Corrosion of Conformity’s Wiseblood. Keenan auditioned for Metallica’s vacant bass player position following Jason Newsted’s departure from the band but lost out to former Suicidal Tendencies/Ozzy Osbourne bassist Robert Trujillo. Keenan’s audition is shown in the Metallica documentary Metallica: Some Kind of Monster. In addition to his contribution to the song “Tuesday’s Gone” Pepper also appeared with Metallica onstage at the Download Festival in Donington, England in 2006 along with Matt Heafy of Trivium to provide additional vocals on the song “Die, Die My Darling” (a Misfits cover). This song was played at the end of Metallica’s headlining set.
