I recently saw the new Tenacious D movie "The pick of destiny" very funny. I noticed heaps of occult symbolism in it, which is no surprise really as they're always singing about satan.
Jack Black wears a t-shirt with the pyramid and all seeing eye on it exactly as it appears on the U.S one dollar bill. Kyle wears a headband with the all seeing eye on it while performing a satanic ritual in his lounge room hahaha :D

Also Jack Blacks' guitar has embedded on the fretboard: an upside down pentagram, a cross, an infinity symbol, a half cresent moon, the star of david, the ying yang symbol, E=mc2, and the all seeing eye.
They're being that obvious for a reason, but whether it's just a joke I'm not so sure. Maybe they are actually "in" on all of this, and that's why they are so famous?

Anyway I liked the movie as cheesy as it was. I also saw them live a few weeks ago, they really can play and ROCK

Hiya snog

I found this.......

How would you describe the D? When Liam [Lynch] was asked if you were satirists, he said you were Satanists.
KG: I think it balances between some hard-rockin’ and having fun with the [form], the lyrics.

JB: I don’t think there’s any real satire in there, is there. Well… we make fun of Satan; we make fun of the devil in rock a little bit.

KG: I think our commitment to the rock is funny, to me. I mean, I think there’s something funny when you sort of play on the Black Sabbath, Satan thing. Which when you look back seems really funny but you don’t think there’s any irony in those guys but now I think, when we do it, hopefully it [occurs

This is part of an interview with jack black. the rest is here

Hmmmmm. Looks like Satan has them by the left testicle as Dimebag Darrell once said R.I.P.
It's all very tongue in cheek with them
