It’s not easy putting on a festival, there’s a lot of moving parts. Kyle Gass
I’d love to do the straight music thing, but that’s kind of against our mission, which is to rebel against the serious singer-songwriter mentality. Kyle Gass
Acting, music, comedy are all just delivery systems to communicate ideas and stories. Kyle Gass
I like butter with my popcorn. Kyle Gass
Well, we’re on a never-ending quest to slim down. It’s just very difficult for us. Kyle Gass
I can’t be serious, apparently. Kyle Gass
What did happen to rock music? I think there was a hip-hop takeover. Kyle Gass
I had a desperate need to be Van Gogh or something. Some tremendous artist. Jack’s so successful, what’s wrong with me, why isn’t this working for me? I hated myself. Kyle Gass
I’ve always wanted to have one of those hits on the radio, but we haven’t really been able to crack that code. Kyle Gass
But the classic Tenacious D songwriting is Jack or myself will have an idea – I might have a riff – and we’ll improv. And once Jack’s feeling it, we turn on the tape recorder and start jamming, improv on that riff, improv on those lyrics, and then go back and see if there’s anything good in there. Kyle Gass
When Jack Black and I started Tenacious D, there were about two seconds in the beginning when we thought maybe we’d have a go at serious music. But we quickly abandoned that when we realized that everything we did tended to come out funny. Kyle Gass
I think that I’ve been living on my laurels. Kyle Gass
Jack appreciates people on a very, very sophisticated and deep level. Kyle Gass
To me, comedy and music are not even really separate entities. Kyle Gass
The problem is that we set the bar so high, and our stuff is so good, it’s tough to top. Kyle Gass
Jack is really the new breed, a wild-man comedian. America’s funnyman. Kyle Gass
I’d like to do a concept album, with the concept being about me. Kyle Gass
It’s always fun to play the hometown. Kyle Gass
I am such a desperate man headed into a midlife crisis. Kyle Gass
I don’t think we’ve ever been in an interview where someone hasn’t asked, ‘How did you guys get together?’ Kyle Gass
You know, I come from an acting background. Kyle Gass
Jack is a special performer, the kind that comes along once in a generation. Kyle Gass
I like Popsicles! Kyle Gass
And I only really like to play the acoustic guitar. Kyle Gass
Yeah, there’s probably been times when I’m watching cable and seeing there’s like three movies that Jack’s in and I’m sitting hogging a bag of Cheetos in my underwear and I think ‘God, what happened to me? Why can’t I be something special like Jack?’ Kyle Gass
We feel more comfortable rocking a comedy room as opposed to laughing it up with a rock crowd. Kyle Gass
Seriously, though, I realise I set the bar really high with Tenacious D – one of the great, great bands of our time. Kyle Gass
I don’t keep up with music. Kyle Gass
Usually I feel kind-of normal and lame, and then I’ll go to the coffee shop and someone’ll say, ‘You rock!’ And then I’ll remember how awesome I am. Kyle Gass
I still enjoy watching Jack perform after a gazillion years of watching him. Kyle Gass
I don’t really like to audition, and that works against me. It’s bad to be an actor and not like to audition. Kyle Gass
I feel good with a crisp hundy in my pocket. Kyle Gass
I wanted to be an actor. Music was a side project. Kyle Gass
Bo Burnham is great, he’s a genius. Kyle Gass
We want to be just like the greatest band. But I think we’re just sort of both naturally humorous fellas. Kyle Gass
We’re not really band guys. We’re shlumpy guys. We don’t look like rock stars. Kyle Gass
I’d like to do a complete album of covers with no songs written after 1937. Kyle Gass
The wheels of Hollywood grind very slowly so I’m going to have some collagen or some sort of plastic surgery. Kyle Gass
I don’t like to audition. I just want people to give me parts. Kyle Gass
I want to live until they find a cure for dying. Kyle Gass
We’re not very confident performers, and if we don’t get a laugh we get insecure. Kyle Gass
I’d say that acting is a side project for Jack. Kyle Gass
I’m doing this pilot called ‘Demon.’ Kevin Smith is directing it. It’s a comedy drama. I play a guy who rises up from Hell. Kyle Gass
I like ‘The Graduate.’ That’s one of my favorites. Kyle Gass
Well, I think awards are pretty meaningless. Kyle Gass
Well, here’s my feeling about shtick. I think sometimes if you don’t have it going on too much, you’re probably feeling insecure and then you want to add on the shtick. I would say, oh, like Kiss. You try to stand out from the crowd, you’re going for a bold statement, you’re going for a high concept. Kyle Gass
Probably every band – you get back to like, The Stones are kind of the tough guys, Beatles are kind of psychedelic, Led Zeppelin was kinda mystical, The Who are kind of mods. You know, you just go right through. Everyone’s kind of adopted their so-called persona or flavor if you will. Kyle Gass
People used to think, because of our name, that we were a hip-hop group. Kyle Gass
A friend is someone who can help you with your career. Kyle Gass
We’re actually more popular in the U.K.; they really get us, and in Australia. In the non-English speaking countries, they don’t really get it. Kyle Gass
We actually have some pretty good songs. But if they come out too serious, then we have to scrap them. Kyle Gass
We try to write the best songs ever and they kinda come out funny. Kyle Gass
You can’t pick your fans. Kyle Gass
In terms of what influenced me, I grew up on The Beatles, and I always was struck by their dry British sense of humor. Kyle Gass
I’ve never been married, but I’m imagining what it’s like: Sometimes Jack snores, and I get to poke him. Kyle Gass
Jack has two boys, and when they grow up they’re gonna wanna be like the D. I’ve already got the name: Mini D. Kyle Gass
We’re like a rogue satellite circling the comedy universe. Kyle Gass
I’ve got the country station on my radio. Kyle Gass
Rosemary’s Baby’ is one of my faves. Kyle Gass
I fantasized that I went to art school with the Beatles. Kyle Gass
I was excited to be nominated for the Grammy, but prizes are a little strange. Kyle Gass
Well, rock used to be the only game in town in terms of radio and what the kids listen to. Now I think there was a big hip-hop takeover, and pop music, it became mechanical and computer-y. Kyle Gass
I don’t think us going out in the crowd would be a good idea. I think that we’d be torn apart limb from limb. Kyle Gass
There doesn’t seem to be a relationship between budget and comedy. In fact, it might be inverse. Kyle Gass
I have an agent and everything. I audition occasionally. Kyle Gass
We’re the court jesters of rock. Kyle Gass
We used to hang out in my studio apartment, play music and dream about being rock stars. Kyle Gass
We’ve been around about 20 years and we only have, what, two records? We’re not terribly prolific. Kyle Gass
