Kyle Richard Gass (created July 14, 1960), also called KG or Kage, is an American rock musician, singer songwriter and performer. He fronts the humor rock group Tenacious D alongside longtime buddy Jack Black. In Tenacious D, Gass plays lead guitar and sings backup vocals, as well as plays the part of Black’s comic foil in most of the comedy routines. He could be the godfather of Jack Black’s son. It needs to be pointed out that Juilliard failed to get a guitar program in 1973, but started its grad level guitar program in 1989 under Sharon Isbin, and its own undergraduate program in 2007. When Adam Carolla requested him “… And did you visit Juilliard?” Kyle responded “I did not. I—you know, I got that up as a joke,” he continued, “and I believed it’d be hilarious, and then I Have been learning about it ever since. Apologies to Juilliard.”
