"Thank you for being a bald rock star" - Normal bald guy

[deleted]825 karma

i do what i can.

Vantblood894 karma

How did you and jack black meet?

[deleted]179 karma

In my head, I imagine they both fell out of an angel's twat together, centuries ago.

[deleted]100 karma

Gass taught Black how to play guitar, and the two soon formed a band, the likes of which had never been seen, and they called themselves Tenacious D.

Love that line.

[deleted]790 karma

BanterMerchant427 karma

How do you play such epic solos high up the fret board on an acoustic guitar? Long arms?

[deleted]1626 karma

squeezing the asshole tightly helps.

BanterMerchant141 karma

Habeas302 karma

How many sweet chicks have you gotten to rub your head?

[deleted]709 karma

infinite number.

thatspossible52 karma

You lucky, lucky son of a gun.

[deleted]103 karma

depends on which head they're rubbing.

ethman292 karma

Dude, first off, you're incredible.

Now that that's out of the way, my question: I saw the D play a benefit show for the WM3 in, I think, 2005 at the LA Improv. After the show you were hanging out at the bar near the stairs with, and I don't think I'm exaggerating here, like 5 of the hottest girls that were there that night. You became my hero that night. I guess my question is, have you always pulled tail like that or were you just showing off?

[deleted]658 karma

the women...they flock to my greatness.

clamscantfeel280 karma

what was your part in the writing process of the songs?

[deleted]670 karma

its a real collaboration between jack and me. we bounce ideas off each other and try to make it ultimate! of course i am the musical genius of the d.

rebop266 karma

As a jaded, working musician, I usually hate pretty much every other musician out there (not really, but you know what I mean). That being said. You are a brilliant player and when I discovered the D, I instantly became a fan. Your application of the acoustic guitar, playing what's normally electric stuff is great.

What is your musical background?

Did you always play guitar?

How much of the songwriting process for you is inspiration vs. hard work?

[deleted]419 karma

i play flute and recorder too. the inspiration is hard work, and the hard work is harder. nice to have a partner like jack who can boost morale when the writing is rough.

phylet264 karma

What is jack black really like?

[deleted]621 karma

really??? how could he be anything than a great guy. he is like my brother...not just an act.

Geno098273 karma

We need to start putting you in a cage when celebrities do AMAs on here.

[deleted]16 karma

relevant_rule34 in a cage

Can I call Rule 34 on this?

Habeas262 karma

You're stuck on a boat with only a backpack of food, Jack Black, and your most precious guitar. The boat is too heavy. What goes over first?

[deleted]472 karma

wow tough decision but i would throw the food over first. jack and i could distract each other, and what's life w/o my most precious guitar? damn tho i love food...

ElScorch0230 karma

What do you think about this?

InfernoAcid78 karma

I think KG turned out okay.

stephenlethbridge200 karma

Do you believe in God?

Also, on a personal level, thank you for the great music you and Jack put out. It has fueled many a campfire singalong for me and my friends. Honestly, one of the coolest moments of my life was a room full of about 30 people screaming Fuck Her Gently at the top of my lungs. Thanks, man. The D reigns supreme.

[deleted]403 karma

um, not so much.

stephenlethbridge146 karma

I meant it as a ref to the "secret" song/skit after City Hall.

[deleted]417 karma

o ha ha totes got it now. i bee leeve in god.

tehruke187 karma

Do you believe in the existence of sasquatches?

[deleted]375 karma

without a doubt.

Habeas173 karma

Does Jack Black suck at guitar?

[deleted]499 karma

he does not suck, just not as awesome as me!

j1mmie163 karma

  • Kyle, how do you and Jack come up with those righteous tunes and lyrics? Together, separate, stoned, in the nude, etc...

  • How ad-libbed are the spoken word bits you guys do (for example, in Drive-thru)?

  • Which do you consider yourself foremost: actor, rocker, or performer?

  • If I were to describe yours and Jack's personalities based on the albums, I'd say Jack is Type-A and you are Type-B. Would you say this is true in real life?

  • Lastly, how many cock pushups can you do these days?

Thanks for the AmA!

[deleted]339 karma

most of our songs we come up with in the studio together. one of us gets a brilliant flash of an idea, we spit it out to the other, and it's off and running. the ad-libbed bits are totes ad-libbed. we don't need no stinkin script for our comedic genius. in real life id say yes you would be correct in your personality assessments. as far as cock pushups...i can still do more than you.

fordosan151 karma

What is your favorite shit to do blazed?

MADCHAD17136 karma

Who was the inspiration for Wonderboy?

[deleted]232 karma

mr jack black

Bleach-Free133 karma

Be honest... Have you ever tried doing a cock push-up?

[deleted]462 karma

who, with a cock, has not ever tried? only the manliest among us succeed...

skepticaljesus111 karma

I saw the Trainwreck open up for Vida Blue in Chicago about 5 years ago, but had no idea who you guys were and spent half your set being very, very confused what was happening, until I recognized you underneath the wig.

What's the story with that band?

Btw, you guys rocked.

[deleted]208 karma

why thank you. trainwreck was uber fun but it seemed like we were hiding behind the false personalities and costumes. we have revamped the line-up and the sound and have been reborn as the KGB, the kyle gass band.

Sausagecreature105 karma

Proof? A pic of your ass birthmark would suffice.

[deleted]204 karma

i have assmark! proof? check my tweet @gassleak

atRobbie104 karma

I hate to compare you to Jack, but I've always wondered; Who gives better hugs?

[deleted]214 karma

i might be biased with my answer. of course i think i do BUT you should probably have a little hug-off with the two of us and see for yourself.

twofathoms95 karma


[deleted]178 karma

all the time. the creepers wont let me be! let me think of a good creeper story and i will get back to you.

[deleted]198 karma

Dude, don't bother, once you've heard one creeper story, you've heard 'em all:

  1. Minding your own business.

  2. Creeper creeps up.

  3. ???

  4. Your house is destroyed.

IfNotMeWho91 karma

I love your Tenacious D album. When are you guys making another one like that? I would buy it (or wait for a friend to buy it, then borrow it) in a heartbeat! Love your stuff.

*EDIT: I noticed you already answered this. Can you just say hi to me so I can show off to my friends?

[deleted]225 karma


saganator77 karma

Would you consider yourself a Queen man, or are you more of a Styx kind of guy?

[deleted]261 karma


[deleted]203 karma

well, they both had their moments...

dogfacedboy42075 karma

[deleted]211 karma

love me some storage wars ha ha

gmnitsua81 karma

Dude, I get addicted to this show. I fucking hate that guy who's always like "YEEEEEEAAAAAHH."

[deleted]40 karma

Fucking Dave. What an asshole

Mags2263 karma

Are you secretly in love with Jack Black that you let him get most of the fame or are you seriously a great friend?

[deleted]197 karma

seriously just a great friend. i think jack is amazing and talented...maybe a slight bromance.

SRyu749 karma

KAGE!! Have you ever had a foreign women rub oil on your head with tribal drums in the background?

[deleted]139 karma

try to do it at least once a month. of course the foreign woman is my massage therapist and the tribal drums are on cd...but still...

toastiejoe44 karma

Your awesomosity is through the roof... Since I was a youngin', I've loved the D.

Me question to you, my good sir is, is 'Lee' an actual person?

[deleted]94 karma

'lee' is in fact a real friend of mine.

blazedassassin41 karma

Did being in the D help you score mad pussy?

[deleted]60 karma

oh yeah

3000037 karma

I have three questions:

Are you any better at Maximum Overthruster? Is Lee awesome? What is the "fucked up thing you do" from Dude (I totally miss you)?

Also, the PoD is the the most quoted movie in my house, and the roommates have I have probably watched it 50+ times. Keep up the good work!

[deleted]110 karma

my video gaming skills leave much to be desired. Lee is in fact awesome. he's a great guy. and that "fucked up thing" is transforming into Rage Kage and getting super angry over the littlest things.

[deleted]37 karma

Has there ever been any more thought given to doing another TV show, similar to the original HBO series? That was my intro to Tenacious D and it totally blew my mind. The Jesus Ranch episode stands out, probably my favorite D tune along with Exploding Brains.

amckechn30 karma

Has acting been in your mind a major goal of yours or is it considered a way to pay the bills?

I love your work in film, but was wondering whether or not you would jump deeper into the Hollywood machine given the chance.

[deleted]62 karma

I always considered myself an actor first. Music was seriously an afterthought. Though I couldn't go a day with no music.

matty2fresh9 karma

where can I get that Trainwreck shirt from POD?

[deleted]11 karma

the trainwreck site. it's trainwreck with kg...under the merch tab. i will be patiently awaiting your order.
