the details (via Variety Magazine):
Kyle Gass, true heart of the poster, put the tenacious in tenacious d, Jack Black, true pants of the pisser, put the money in his mouth and his whole ass in front of the camera
imagine ending a lucrative partnership/long term friendship over someone disliking the same guy as you, but a little more
honestly really repellent behavior
It also makes all their other "edgy" humor just seem conpletely cringe.
They make fun of pearl clutches getting mad at rock music because it's the devil so made rock songs about the devil and rocks but if somebody says something mean about a fascist that's a bridge to far.
Jack Black would rather still be in kung-fu panda 27, instead of being tethered to a guy who pulled a kathy lee griffin by going in too hard on trump for civility-minded people. 
what kathy griffin did was significantly cooler and more hardcore! that's part of what makes it so gutless; this is basically a nothing statement that literally billions of people would casually agree with and it's being treated as if gass came out and said "i am a full-fledged neo-nazi, i have killed before and i will kill again, a very special thank you to my boy jack for making it all possible!" it's so far beyond ridiculous.
Jack Black definitely agrees, he's just a hyper careerist with a very manicured public persona. These people believe in their careers above all, and that's what this is about. All PR.
He probably has enough money to live on for the rest of his life without working again if he wanted to. At that point, you either have principles or you don't and Jack Black clearly doesn't.
Kyle Gass just said what half the US was thinking
Half the world.
a lot more than half of the world tbh
So many people outing themselves as people who won't pull the fucking trigger if they can travel back in time to kill Hitler.
uh, can I borrow the keys to the time machine? I'll be right back after I provide indigenous Americans in circa 1490 with vaccines for European diseases and warnings about subsequent European crimes if their colonies are allowed to spread unchecked
To paraphrase a joke seen on Naked Capitalism the other day.
Partisans are in the hills near a pass where Hitler is scheduled to travel through, preparing their rifles for an ambush. They wait, and wait, and wait, but Hitler and his entourage never arrive. One partisan turns to the other and says, "Gee, I hope nothing happened to him."
Me a normal human being: "I think Hitler should have died in the trenches of WWI." Jack Black, a soulless corpse: "Actually, you're worse then Hitler."
if you won’t even throw away a 30 year career to protect trump, can you even call yourself a biden fan?
All he said was "don't miss next time"? Lmao get the fuck over yourself Jack, this is genuinely pathetic.
Apparently the Australian government is DEPORTING them over this: which is quite frankly the most absolutely metal, hardcore, and based shit Tenacious D has ever had happen! Jack should have embraced the shit out of this and rode it.
Why the fuck would another country give a fuck about this shit, trump isn't a fucking Australian president
Not very metal, Jack
definitly not rock and roll.
Jack Black cancelling a tour and screwing over Kyle was not on my 2024 bingo card
Especially not over something as tame as hating Donald Trump
I would not condone hate speech
What gets counted as hate speech these days
Hate speech is when you say mean things about someone because you hate them.
Hate speech is when you hope the open fascist, THAT YOUR ENTIRE POLITICAL GROUP HAS BEEN CALLING A FASCIST FOR YEARS, gets shot.
Who was literally calling for military tribunals and extra judicial executions of his political opponents LAST WEEK.
Not to be a pearl clutching lib and act like there was any chance of that ever happening but for fucks sake, he was telling his whooping hogs last week he was gonna execute you but it's too much this week to be like "damn too bad that guy missed when he shot at the guy that was threatening to round up lgbtq people and put them in camps"
Kyle Gass, as ever, a credit to us stout and balded kings.
I was always more of a KG Soloman 5000 fan.
Jack Black is currently working for the Dems so this makes sense in that they wouldn't want his campaigning for Biden to be associated with endorsing the assassination attempt.
It's cringe obviously. But it makes sense in the context that he's literally part of their campaign and that being against it is the party line.
I think it'll blow over after the election and they'll be back together. Purely happening because of the "Rock the Vote" gigs that Jack is part of(cringe warning). With that said the claim that Rock the Vote is "non-partisan" is obviously bollocks.
Jack Black being the wiling poster boy for the Biden campaign is more of an indictment of him then a justification for this.
That makes it worse not better. Everything you are saying is making Jack Black into a being of pure sellout cringe
Here I used to at least tolerate Black, wow what a shithead fuck him. Full support to KG.
This is so dissapointing. Total 
moment. Sad!
Imagine already purchasing a ticket and not being able to see them live, just because Kyle was too based in public.
If you had to choose between a decades-long friendship and creative partnership or being third-billed in another Jumanji sequel, who among us wouldn't slap on that pith helmet and cash that check?
lol, are people surprised? Jack Black is your average milquetoast shitlib, please stop worshiping fucking celebrities, my god.
Everyone's pearl clutching over people wishing Trump dead, I wonder how surprised they'll act when the soldiers will be knocking doors down
Jack to Kyle: 
I'm sure the libs would get just as upset over any similar comments made about Putin or Kim. 
Can't you see he's the man,
Let me hear you applaud,
He is more than a man
He's a shiny golden god.
He is going to kick your fucking ass,
And you know his name is Kyle Gass
New Wave tried to destroy The Metal
But The Metal had its way
Grunge then tried to dethrone The Metal
But Metal was in the way
Punk Rock tried to destroy The Metal
But Metal was much too strong
Techno tried to defile The Metal
But Techno was proven wrong
also
"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 guess a spicy comment could destroy the Metal.
