Welcome to reddit, guys. Here's your complimentary etch a sketch portrait: http://i.imgur.com/ehQZn.jpg. Video here.

Sorry I kinda screwed up your head, Kyle. I guess it's payback for holding the guitar at an angle. Have fun with the AMA!

That guy must be rain man. P.S. proof http://imgur.com/5Vdh8

JB: I look like a fat version of: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Armstrong_Custer KG: Where's Mine?!

HI this one is for Jack Black. Today is my sister's 7th birthday and you are pretty much her favorite person ever. Her favorite one of your movies is Nacho Libre, which she has seen over 50 times! As a special birthday present I told her I would ask you a question. She wants to ask you "What was your favorite part of making Nacho Libre?" She also wants you to tell her how you are so funny. Thanks!

EDIT: I was also wondering if you had any inspirational words of wisdom for your biggest young fan!

EDIT 2: She wants to know your favorite quote from Nacho Libre. Thanks again!

Hardcore D fan here. Only have one question that NEEDS to be answered. Tenacious D used to perform a song in the 90's called 'UFO'. There literally is only one recorded performance of this song that has surfaced ( http:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=yy2nfCrxKqY ) If you could please give us any information on this song, such as correct title name, was it recorded in studio, etc? Also, will you ever release older live shows from your personal archive? Jewish Demon, Pat Riley, still works in progress? Please answer my nerdy ass questions, Long live the D!

Please stand by...

http://soundcloud.com/tenaciousd/ufo

It was called UFO. I can't remember the lyrics. It featured an anal probe. It was pretty powerful. I don't think we're going to re-hash it for future albums, but Pat Riley is pretty tasty. We might bust that one out on our serious album... (it's not very funny)

What's the craziest thing that's happened during a concert?

We caused an earthquake in New Zealand during Tribute, Google it bitch

Do you consider yourself more of a comedian, rock star, or somewhere in between?

He's a crockstar.

This is the only answer.

Why do you guys rock so hard?! and why do I always get a boner when I listen to you. Please help?

JB: Our music is basically like a vagina to your ears. That explains the pleasure and the boners. Crank it, for full release.

If you could play with any dead rock star, who would it be? Also, Pick of Destiny is one of my all time favorite comedies. I want your babies.

JB: You can’t have my babies. You’d have to pry them from my cold dead hands. What dead rock star would I be? I go Meatloaf! KG: He’s still alive! JB: I mean when he’s dead. KG: In that case I go Frank Blank.

What is your fondest memory from working with Ronnie James Dio?

When he passed us the torch of rock

If you were transported back in time to the 1970's, which bands would you love to play for?

SABBATH! Cause they're bitchin'.

Did Seal really like your version of Kiss From a Rose?

http://soundcloud.com/tenaciousd/drmcgillcuddy Seal is going to be on our next album.

How did you come up with the name "Tenacious D"?

What is it like working with Dave Grohl?

JB: Grohl is the God of Thunder. KG: It's like working with a force of nature.

Can you describe your new album, using only movie titles?

No

Does Bach really rock?

How did you two meet?

What is actually the greatest song (or album) ever in your opinion?

http://soundcloud.com/tenaciousd/what-is-actually-the-greatest

How do i become a roadie for you guys??? Im fine with getting raped by demons if thats what it takes!

First you must be the BEST in existence. Then you must be at the right place at the time. That is all.

Have you ever thought about doing a collaboration with a non-rock music group?

JB: Oh yeah. We wanted to get Kanye to do a remix of Low Hangin Fruit.

Pick Of Destiny was a great movie. You guys think you will make a second one anytime soon?

We haven't written one yet. Its gotta be a down and dirty, non union movie. $100,000 tops! Don't rush us. We just finished our album.

Can you guys explain what the story is in regards to this picture?

Super huge fan of everyone shown here (even the pictures in the background) so I am super curious about it.

Thanks for the music.

Comedy Bang Bang on IFC. Reggie Watts is a beat boxing beast!

Bong, paper, pipe or blunt?

Bong of destiny of course

THE BOD

How were you able to get Dave Ghrol to drum for all your albums?

Just ask him. Try that.

KB: I'm still in the game but I have the follow my muse: music

DIO: Working with Dio was a pleasure. Great guy, total pro. Always came through for us in the clutch.

Where did the idea of Cock Pushups come from?

JB: I learned it while training for Cirque Du Soleil. Lots of practice.

What is your favorite venue that you've played at?

It's The Who, the only band that sounds better live than on the album

July 26th, 2012

Hey, you guys are amazing, I was just wondering what is the craziest/most memorable rock and roll story you guys have?

JB: Can we hit you with the earthquake again?

do you still keep in touch with the 2 kids you let open for you?

No. We gave them a taste of rock stardom and then we disappeared in a puff of smoke. Perhaps our paths shall cross again.

Is there any story behing your nicknames, Jables and the Rage Kage?

Jables is short for JB, Rage Kage is short for KG!

Have you ever heard any stories about people getting "Tenac" and "Ious D" tattooed on their ass?

No but it would be an incredibly romantic thing for a loving couple of newly weds

I would consider myself a nerd... Would you consider hiring me to build a Deth Starr? I feel as though I am qualified to build a great Deth Starr.

References available upon request.

KG: Yeah if he can build one JB: We’re gonna need to see your qualifications. The type of nerd we’re looking for is the kind that graduated from MIT... with honors... in an hour. That’s the kind of nerd we need to build the Deth Starr.

What were your favorite music videos that you guys filmed?

KG: Probably Tribute. To Be The Best. Roadie. JB: Hands down Low Hangin Fruit. Who will see what I mean in a few days.

Hey guys, thanks for doing this

Who is the most interesting celebrity you guys have met

JB: Who is the most interesting person? Forget celebrity. KG: Well they’d probably be a celebrity. Tony Robbins? Barack Obama? JB: To be interesting you gotta be a little crazy right? Did you ever meet Crispin Glover? KG: Yeah JB: Yeah, now that’s interesting.

Hey, big fan here, I've always wondered how the writing process usually goes with you guys.

Does Jack write most of the lyrics and Kyle write most of the guitar parts, or is it more of a cooperative thing in both areas?

Can't wait for the new album.

We sit in a room together and do a lot of thinking. Usually it will start with a riff or a concept, and then we'll jam into a tape recorder. This can go on for a long time. Then we listen back to it and mine the tastiest nuggets. And go from there. It can be an augurous process.

I just want to say you guys are the reason I picked up the guitar. Seriously. You showed me what real kick ass rock could be, and here I am about 6 years later, loving it every day!

I guess my question is if you guys will keep going after Rise of the Fenix?

Of course The D will continue whether it be on a golden chariot or aunt flarna's hand me down jalopy. As long as there be breathe in our lungs, blood in our veins, and money in our record contract.

How is Dave Grohl irl? Is he just as whacky as he seems?

P.S. Love You Guys

Dave is a million laughs.

Heya guys.

1. Jack, loved you in Bob Roberts. Have you considered doing more acting?

2. Kyle -- What's it like scoring all the hot ladies after a show?

Thought of another one --

1. Both -- What's your favorite fast food?

The 2 for 1 Taco at Jack In The Box!

What was your favorite thing you did on Mr Show?

Don't stick your dick in these holes

What was your most memorable moment of the Tenacious D show on HBO?

Did you ever think you would still be doing comedy music at this stage of your career?

When Kyle ran naked through Griffith Park

What is your proudest achievement on your new record?

KG & JB: Ballad of Hollywood Jack and the Rage Kage JB: Never has a rock band plummed the emotional depths of their psyche.
