Tenacious D 'One-And-A-Half Songs' Into Next Album

One of these days Tenacious D is actually going to release another album, just don't bother losing any sleep waiting up for it. One half of the group, Kyle Gass, told billboard he and Jack Black are working on the follow up to 2006's "Pick Of Destiny".

"we probably only have one to one and a half songs right now, and we probably need 12 to 15. It might take the rest of our lives, but I think it'll be worth waiting for. We'd like to do one final masterpiece, I think," he acknowledges. "I think we both know we're approaching death, as it were, and we'd like to have a lasting legacy. ('The Pick of Destiny') was kind of a soundtrack to the movie so we had to fulfill obligations that way. And now it's kind of opened up."

In the meantime, Kyle is working on a side project titled "Trainwreck" that has been in the works for five years (are you noticing a theme with slow turnover rates yet?). "I think that I need to really work harder at completing some of these projects," he notes. I think that I've been living on my laurels. I've been lazy, but now I think it's time to kick ass." Or Gass? "There ya go..."
