You don't know he's not depressed. Remember Robin.
I thought the depression rumor was debunked? Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Robin get a dementia diagnosis, and thus chose to go out on his own terms, rather than slowly rot away?
Half right - he did battle depression his entire life, and he was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia and Parkinson's not too long before committing suicide. There's really no way to prove which one influenced his decision more, but it was likely because of both.
Looked up LBD to see what it's about and...damn... https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/lewy-body-dementia/symptoms-causes/syc-20352025
Oof
Depression. People with Lewy body dementia might develop depression.
So he already had depression, and then got a disease that causes depression.
If not dementia, it was a similarly debilitating condition. Wanted to dip on his own terms before he became a husk of himself.
RIP Rob, you were the GOAT.
It was Lewy Body Dementia. He had periods of lucidity and in one of those decided that he no longer wanted to live as a prisoner in his own body, and a burden to his family because for all intents and purposes his life as a functioning human was over.
Honestly his entire circumstance is a shining example of why we need a death with dignity law.
It was Lewy Body Dementia, I remember because my grandma had it. It’s non-hereditary thankfully, but just as debilitating as Alzheimer’s.
Is the d back together again? If not, I don't want to hear it!
I mean if i was kyle gass id tell jack black to go fuck himself. He made a big fit over a simple joke when his whole shtick(before being a literal clown for Disney(tm)) was being an 'edgy' comedian who writes songs that are supposed to be offensive.
Lots of times when me and KG are watching
All the fucking shit that goes down at City Hall
We get the feeling we should fuck shit up
Yeah, we should fucking start a riot
A riot!
And the song continues to tell about the destruction of the government, with the implication that previous leaders are dead. It's obviously a joke song, and when KG made the joke on stage it should have been taken just the same, but Hollywood Jack stepped in and thought about all of the movie deals he was gonna miss out on... like fucking Minecraft... Yeah. I love Jack, and I wish him the best, but I am on KG's side, and if they haven't fixed this shit on a personal level, and Kage comes out with some shit about Jack sucking, I'm gonna wave goodbye to the D.

More of a clown every single day tbh
Hes really lost a lot of my respect.
TBF, in the free world it's illegal to joke about the death of dictators, politicians, and extremely dangerous criminals unless you are a politician &/or conservative. Everybody knows that.
He is also a spineless worm
How so? I don't know anything about him personally
People are mad because he denounced Gass when Gass made comments regarding Trump's would be assassin missing, but security at concerts are trash and it's reasonable the the both of them could be shot by a Trump supporter.
Shot by a Trump supporter?!? At a concert in Australia?!? I think that's a bit of a stretch, mate.

Made comments? He blew out a candle and wished for them not to miss Trump with a bullet. Literally calling for the death of someone else. Wishing death on anyone is a pretty shit thing to do.
I wish Putin nothing but death and misery. I guess, I am a real shitty person.
I wish Trump and Putin could somehow be used to bash each other to death, simultaneously. So, I guess I'm as bad as you.

Still sad that hitler died on a workplace accident?
Yes, that's what happened. But we're not talking about Gass, we're talking about Jack Black and his reaction to that which was cancelling the tour.
Which in my opinoin was a perfectly reasonable response given the recent attempt on Trump's life, as well as the threats that had already been made about specific Taylor Swift concerts.
I can't even imagine the amount of death and rape threats that they and their families received after those comments. Imagine leaving for a world tour amidst that.
I guess fuck him for not wanting his fans to get shot up at a concert by some psychopath.

I wish for Trump what Trump wishes for his "enemies".

from what i remember he stopped his band because his friend made a trump joke. safe to say he has no feelings at all.
He made a joke saying he wished the assassination attempt on Trump was successful. I think you're down playing that by just calling it a joke. I think it's fine to hate Trump, but as a public figure it's probably not a great idea to encourage assassination attempts on an ex president.
Get off your high horse. The former president is out there talking about sending the military for anyone who doesn't agree with their platform.

Assassination attempts against a fascist are fine to joke about. Jack Black has no spine.
If Jack Black was doing anything but a world tour with a fucking comedy rock band it'd be different, but he'll always be a poser now.
Bro couldn't even do parody rock right he was clutching pearls so hard.
Too bad the ex president making comments about assassination on various groups he’s against is pretty much ignored these days. But don’t you dare make such a joke about his life not being as valued.

Sounds like he's got strong feelings about demographics.
About his bank account.

I used to think the same about Robin Williams until he killed himself. 😥
Depression is fucked and some people are really good at hiding behind humor.
Robin Williams killed himself due to early onset dementia from brain disease: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_Williams#Death.
Supportive upbringing is a helluva drug
Millions of dollars also doesn't hurt.

Jack Black on Yo Gabba Gabba is legendary.

I don't even care that much about the band stuff. I liked his movies when he was little, and when he started a gaming channel I realized I now find him very annoying. He comes across as full of himself and desperate for attention.
I mean... He's an entertainer. I think most entertainers are attention seekers. That's why they got into it in the first place; for the attention.
Then again, he could have just grown up that way because he was a child actor.
All these but hurt commenters because he condemned calling for political violence.

I must be out of the loop did something happen w/ Jack Black?
Apparently when KG was blowing out his birthday candles on stage they asked him to make a wish, and he said "Don't miss Trump next time". JB is working on his clean image and stepped away, I don't think they have any beef tbh, but the D is on hold atm. source
the D is on hold atm
Okay good but what about their band?
