Political involvement and controversies

Overall political leanings

Jack Black, the primary creative force and public face of Tenacious D, has openly aligned with liberal Democratic positions, endorsing Senator Elizabeth Warren's 2020 presidential campaign and describing himself as "all in" for her progressive agenda. In June 2024, Black endorsed President at a fundraiser, delivering a performance criticizing as a threat to while urging support for Biden's reelection. He has spoofed conservative movements like in viral videos and participated in 2020 get-out-the-vote efforts aimed at opposing Trump's reelection, framing the campaign as "rocking Trump out of office." Kyle Gass, Black's longtime collaborator, has maintained a lower political profile, with reports indicating he has not publicly endorsed specific candidates or parties prior to 2024. However, Gass expressed strong anti- sentiment during a July 14, 2024, concert in , , where he quipped "Don't miss Trump next time" following the attempt on the former president, reflecting personal opposition consistent with broader left-leaning critiques of but prompting immediate backlash and an apology from Gass for the remark's inappropriateness. As a duo, Tenacious D's political expressions have mirrored Black's Democratic activism, including joint appearances promoting anti-Trump mobilization, though the band has not formally affiliated with political organizations or issued collective platforms. Black's subsequent condemnation of Gass's 2024 comment as and decision to pause band activities underscore a boundary against endorsing , distinguishing their leanings from more radical fringes despite shared opposition to conservative figures. This aligns with patterns in circles, where anti-Trump stances predominate among celebrity acts, often amplified by media outlets with left-leaning editorial slants.

Specific incidents and public reactions

In 2004, Tenacious D performed at a to support Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry's campaign against incumbent . Jack publicly denounced Bush as "the worst f---ing president in the history of time" during the event, citing opposition to policies including the , and the duo closed their set with "." The appearance drew applause from liberal attendees and aligned with celebrity anti-Bush activism, but elicited criticism from conservative commentators who accused the band of injecting partisan bias into entertainment venues. On January 20, 2017—the day of Trump's presidential inauguration—Tenacious D performed their 2006 "The Government Totally Sucks" at the Anti-Inaugural Ball in , an event organized to oppose the new administration. The lineup included a reunited and , with the performance eliciting cheers from the protest-oriented crowd protesting 's policies on , , and other issues. Conservative media and Trump supporters condemned the rally as disrespectful to democratic institutions and emblematic of elitism, though it faced no immediate professional fallout for the duo. These episodes exemplify Tenacious D's sporadic use of and performance for left-leaning , which typically garnered enthusiasm from fans and media while provoking rebukes from the right, without derailing their career trajectory prior to later developments.

2024 Trump assassination attempt comment

During a Tenacious D concert at the on July 14, 2024, the day after an on former U.S. President at a campaign rally in , band member made a remark referencing the incident while celebrating his 64th birthday onstage. presented Gass with a cake and prompted him to "make a wish," to which Gass replied, "Don't miss next time," alluding to the shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks, who wounded but failed to kill him. The comment, captured on video and shared widely online, drew immediate condemnation for appearing to endorse . Gass issued an apology on July 16, 2024, stating via that the improvised line was "highly inappropriate, dangerous and a terrible mistake," expressing for offending fans and emphasizing his opposition to . In response, Gass was dropped by his longtime , of Greene Talent, who cited the remark as irreconcilable with professional representation. Jack Black, in a separate Instagram statement the same day, described himself as "blindsided" by Gass's words, affirming he would "never condone or encourage in any form," and announced the cancellation of Tenacious D's remaining tour dates in and , placing all future band projects, including tours, films, and TV, on indefinite hold. The backlash extended to political figures, with Australian Prime Minister calling the joke "not funny" and "appalling," while U.S. Senator labeled it "disgusting" and urged a of Black's films. Public reaction amplified online, with critics arguing the comment trivialized an event that resulted in one spectator's death, Trump's ear injury, and injuries to two others. By August 7, 2024, Black indicated optimism for the band's resumption, stating at a fan event that Tenacious D would "be back" after the hiatus, though no specific timeline or new projects were confirmed as of late 2024.

Other ventures

Solo and side projects of Jack Black

Jack Black's acting career constitutes his primary solo pursuit outside Tenacious D, encompassing lead and supporting roles in live-action films, voice work in animations, and television appearances spanning over three decades. His early film roles included minor parts in Dead Man Walking (1995) and The Cable Guy (1996), but he gained prominence with the role of Barry in High Fidelity (2000), a comedy-drama about record store employees, which showcased his energetic comedic style and musical knowledge. This was followed by his breakout lead performance as Dewey Finn in School of Rock (2003), where he portrayed a slacker musician impersonating a teacher to coach students in rock music; the film earned $288.3 million globally against a $20 million budget and received a Golden Globe nomination for Black. Subsequent highlights include voicing the panda warrior Po in DreamWorks' Kung Fu Panda (2008), a role reprised across three sequels through 2024, contributing to the franchise's over $1.9 billion in worldwide earnings; Black's performance earned an Annie Award nomination for voice acting in an animated feature. He also starred as the ambitious director in Peter Jackson's (2005), a that grossed $550.5 million, and headlined family adventures like (2017), where he played the avatar of a teen gamer, helping the film exceed $962 million in receipts. These roles demonstrate Black's versatility in blending , , and musical elements, often drawing from his rock influences. In music, Black's solo and collaborative efforts beyond Tenacious D are sporadic but notable, often tied to film soundtracks. He provided lead vocals for "I Am the Warlock," a hidden track on Dave Grohl's metal tribute album Probot (2004), featuring production by Probot's all-star lineup. More prominently, Black co-wrote and performed "Peaches" for The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023), voicing the villain in a power expressing unrequited love for ; the track peaked at No. 56 on the and garnered over 100 million streams within months of release. Similarly, he contributed "Steve's Lava Chicken" to the soundtrack of A Minecraft Movie (2025), performing as the character Steve in a comedic original song highlighting the film's blocky aesthetic. These releases underscore Black's ability to craft viral, character-driven music, though they remain ancillary to his acting output rather than forming a dedicated solo discography.

Solo and side projects of Kyle Gass

Kyle Gass formed the southern rock band Trainwreck in 2002 amid reduced availability from Jack Black for Tenacious D activities. The group, featuring costumed characters and guitar-driven songs blending classic, progressive, and elements, released its debut album The Wreckoning, a 15-track collection, in 2009 at a performance in ' Roxy Theatre. The band disbanded in 2010 but reunited in 2018, with ongoing recording of a follow-up 12-track studio album as of recent updates. In 2011, Gass established the , a rock ensemble including musicians from Tenacious D's live lineup such as John Konesky on guitar. The band issued its self-titled debut album in 2013, followed by Thundering Herd in 2016; tracks from the latter include "Bro Ho" and "Questionable," emphasizing Gass's songwriting and focus. Performances often incorporate comedic elements akin to Gass's Tenacious D style, with tours extending to the and . Gass launched the acoustic trio Kyle Gass Company in fall 2019 as a of the , collaborating with vocalist Mike Bray and guitarist John Konesky to deliver cover songs and originals in an intimate format. The project emphasizes stripped-down arrangements of favorites, with a "Three Man Job" tour scheduled for and the UK in May 2025. Independently, Gass released the original single "Penelope" in February 2017 as an exclusive for the "Love Me Not" playlist, marking one of his rare non-band recordings. He conducted his first solo tour, titled "Kyle Gass Must Save The World," starting in October 2021, featuring material from his back catalog alongside covers and surprises.
