As an atheist I can get behind this 100%. It's the best explanation for how awesome he is.

Dio(nysus) has rocked for a long, long time...

Now it's time for him to pass the torch.

He has songs of wilderbeasts and angels

JB and KG are the most wholesome people alive. They are truly just being themselves 100% of the time and it’s amazing.

He's the avatar of Dionysus. The wine-bender.

[–] Splatterphace@lemm.ee 12 points 6 months ago (3 children)

I don't remember Dionysus leaving his best friend for years to get rich making movies. Tenacious D got shelved for too long. KG deserved better.

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 37 points 6 months ago (3 children)

Does KG say that?

Do you know the nature of that project being shelved? Like, KG may have been just fine with his life

[–] Doof@lemmy.world 21 points 6 months ago

I’m not sure where but I know it was a point of contention that they made up over. There was a moment where tenacious D was brought onto stage as Jack Black and that pissed/hurt him a lot. So what they are saying is kinda of true but they’ve already talked and made up so why they are bringing it up as a gotcha is a bit strange.

I'm not sure KG was upset by anything. KG was in the tenacious d movie and I feel like if he liked doing movies it would be easy for him to do bit parts in movies with JB. Also they made fun of this in a song they did so it can't be too serious of an issue:

[–] Splatterphace@lemm.ee 3 points 6 months ago (2 children)

They could've gotten rich together.

[–] Redredme@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

They are rich together. One just a tad more then the other.

Edit: typos. (curse you ms swiftkey!)

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 2 points 6 months ago

You don't know that

[–] Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 6 months ago

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks about KG every time I hear the name Jack black. Hope he's well.

[–] Dalvoron@lemm.ee 9 points 6 months ago

KG is also in two other bands, he has his own shit going on

[–] Carrolade@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Yeah, I can see it.

He seems quite in touch with divinity.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

I heard it as "grease us with your mighty love" at first and was like "damn! He REALLY wants to use that song!" 😄
