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

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

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.

Jack is a special performer, the kind that comes along once in a generation.

Kyle Gass

Bo Burnham is great, he's a genius.

Kyle Gass

We feel more comfortable rocking a comedy room as opposed to laughing it up with a rock crowd.

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.

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

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

I still enjoy watching Jack perform after a gazillion years of watching him.

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

You know, I come from an acting background.

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

A friend is someone who can help you with your career.

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

It's always fun to play the hometown.

Kyle Gass

I fantasized that I went to art school with the Beatles.

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

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

I don't think we've ever been in an interview where someone hasn't asked, 'How did you guys get together?'
