Birthplace[edit]

The IMDB entry on KG (Which is linked at the bottom of the wikipedia entry) says he was born in Walnut Creek, not Castro Valley.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:9:7E80:694:4472:EB6C:E068:4966 (talk) 04:57, 18 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Does anyone know which is correct - Walnut Creek or Castro Valley? The Walnut Creek page is unsourced, but lists him as growing up in Walnut Creek and attending Las Lomas High there. --Utilizer (talk) 01:12, 20 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Family Guy[edit]

On the Kyle Gass page it states that he has appeared in several episodes of Family Guy. Can anyone tell me which ones because i cant find anything about it anywhere. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.68.105.236 (talk) 22:42, 21 February 2008 (UTC) I never did say that.[reply]

Mike Kettel[edit]

All this stuff about Mike Kettel has no proof to me. I think it should be removed. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tenacious D Fans (talk • contribs) 08:40, 24 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Contradiction[edit]

In the first segment, Early Life, it says he first picked up a guitar when he was fourteen, yet in the second paragraph it says Gass claimed to have been the youngest graduate of the Juilliard School of Music with a degree in classical guitar studies at the age of thirteen, a bit contradictory i think? - kevinbocking 19:41, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The opening of the article says he was born in 1960, the citation says 1968 not 1964. Which one is it? How old is this man? 66.188.130.123 05:33, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Let's try to avoid taking Gass too seriously. His act is just that, an act. His function is lightweight entertainment, primarily comedic rather than musical. His "serious" musical credentials are a put-on; he claims to be the youngest person to graduate from a program that didn't even exit at the time! (I'm referring to his Juilliard claim.)Rguitphil (talk • contribs) 9:48, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism[edit]

As a new member to Wikipedia, I can tell that this page has been vandalized. Does anyone know how to fix pages or how to report them? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikiclassicrocker (talk • contribs) 04:38, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Music Career[edit]

There's not a single word about KG's actual music career in that paragraph, only stuff that relates to him being a musician. This is an article about a musician and it's a joke that there's not a proper sentence about him being one. Hexxagonn (talk) 04:15, 4 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Meeting Jack Black[edit]

This article has an un-cited claim that Gass and Black met in 1984. The Tenacious D page has a cited claim that they met in Scotland in 1989. Unless someone can confirm what's here, it should be corrected. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Superwesman (talk • contribs) 17:56, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
