Gass made a birthday wish during a concert that the next assassin wouldn’t miss trump back when that dude shot at him during a rally. Black publicly said he would “never condone hate speech or encourage political violence in any form”. They cancelled their tour and went on temporary hiatus.
While I disagree with Black, I do understand why he would say that. MAGAs were itching to find someone to shoot at the time. If I were an entertainer I would not want them showing up to my show shooting at my fans.
The most recent interview with Gass has him saying this: “Somebody called my mom. My poor 95-year-old mom. It hits close to home, and you want to be brave and courageous, but I’m not a congressman. We’re just entertainers. And it just bespeaks the insanity of the times. It feels almost vindictive."
But both Gass and Black have said they’ll be back as Tenacious D. Black said he loves the D and everybody has to take a break sometimes. Gass said they’ve hashed it out.
Friends go through shit sometimes. And these two have been friends for like a thousand years. Their friendship just happens to be public and people take sides when they see it happen.
Edit: took out a sentence that I had in there twice.
Not the person you asked.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
I lifted that straight from the interview. Dude is funny.
I’m sure they’ve had discussions on which of them loves the D more, and it felt more believable coming from Mr. Black.
