"Tenacious D have spoken about a track on their upcoming third studio LP Rize of the Fenix. The comedy-rock band - comprising of actor Jack Black and Kyle Gass - described the track &amp;#039;Rock is Dead&amp;#039;s song title as an &amp;quot;erect penis&amp;quot;. They insisted that rock music is not quite dead yet, but rather that it is currently &amp;quot;very, very ill&amp;quot;. Jack Black told Billboard: &amp;quot;That title was just so strong, very ballsy. It felt like an erect penis of a title. We just thought, &amp;#039;Is it really dead?&amp;#039; Well, no, but it&amp;#039;s very, very ill.&amp;quot; Gass added: &amp;quot;It has pneumonia.&amp;quot; Black explained that his group don&amp;#039;t intend to write jokes, but that their humour is able to be gradually produced over time. &amp;quot;The comedy is just something that comes natural to us. It&amp;#039;s who we are. We don&amp;#039;t write jokes. We just take subject matter we are genuinely interested in - or genuinely angry about - and just riff. It comes out funny after we send it through the Tenacious D computer,&amp;quot; he said. Tenacious D are currently streaming their new album online ahead of its official release on May 14. The duo will embark on a mini UK tour in June, with shows in Brixton and Manchester. They will also appear at this year&amp;#039;s Download festival, which takes place at Donington Park from June 8 to June 10.
