Never ask a man his salary, a woman her age, or Kyle Gass what he wants for his 64th birthday.

Exceedingly rare Jack Black L
Jack Black coming out as a Zionist was a massive L that makes up for the rarity
I don’t understand how people are framing this as Jack black fucking up. What’s the problem, exactly? I haven’t really followed this saga, but from what Ive gathered, KG made a joke about the assassination attempt, they got backlash for that and they canceled the tour for safety reasons. How is this a failing on JB’s part?
It's because of Jack Black's response. He said he was blindsided by Kyle's joke and that it was his decision to break up the band.
I was blindsided by what was said at the show on Sunday. I would never condone hate speech or encourage political violence in any form. After much reflection, I no longer feel it is appropriate to continue the Tenacious D tour, and all future creative plans are on hold. I am grateful to the fans for their support and understanding.
My six year old is really into some of their (more age appropriate) work. I can't break it to him.
You gotta wait at least a week. JB fired Kyle before, you never know
I mean, it only took a week when Kyle quit the band. Let's give it some time.
From my understanding this is kinda a stunt to prevent backlash and such, and I assume they'll get back together after the election
That's my line of thinking.
Given the image Jack Black cultivated for himself, being around anyone who wished for a political figure's death will work against that image, no matter how much Black may agree or disagree with Kyle. It's a perfectly understandable decision and I doubt it's permanent.

Those are inside thoughts Kyle! Keep those thoughts on the inside! Mind bullets not real bullets.
Let the mind bullets out, Kyle. Tell Jack to stop being a pansy who can't rock.
Yeah, was a bit of an overreaction.
The snowflakes can't take a joke and start their cancel culture again
Somewhat /s
Prove that they don't care about "cancel culture". They were just angry that they were not the ones doing the cancelling.
They have always cancel and will always cancel others.
