Michael Gamble For real though. Fuck henry rollins, hes the most insecure macho bully ive probably ever scene in punk music ever. And his hipster fans are the worst
@@natelofimusic he seems like the kind of person that thinks all new music sucks and if you enjoy anything that came out after ‘95 you’re a piece of shit
@@rgbmusik7235 because he is. For one he's obviously a bully. Look at that Black Flag interview.... the dude he was messing with was obviously just a small kid. No legit badass would ever pull any bullshit like that. I see shit like that and fantasize about being able to time travel and getting myself plunged right into that crowd and being able to walk up and just bitch slap Rollins and watch him pick up his teeth. And then hope he'd have the heart to come after me but that's probably wishful thinking because deep down the man is nothing but a coward. His music sucks. He was just a fan of Black Flags when they needed a singer. He had no talent but had a stage presence. That's why his band Rollins Band was such a joke!!
3:11 Henry Rollins : “Don’t Get in the singers way when he is trying to sing. Good deal?” Surfer : *Shakes his head in his drunken state* Henry : “Go Away now” Surfer : *Floats into another dimension*
Fun Fact: When Robert Kirkman was writing The Walking Dead, his inspiration for Negan when he was creating the character was Henry Rollins. The way the character is drawn also looks a lot like Rollins
I'm pretty sure if you said that at any point in history you're pretty much a douchebag and have a 50/50 chance of getting your ass kicked. I really hope. "My god if someone said that today". Incredibly stupid statement.
@M R it really is about what's on the inside in the end. You could be the best looking person ever and still get dumped if you're a douchebag. No looks are worth dealing with a lot of nonsense - unless there's money to gain or severe self-esteem is the issue. Unless you're a dead soul, you know that after dating a while either a person gets more or less attractive depending on their behavior.
Was crushing on Rollins for most of my youth. One day, when I was leaving a summer gig (being one of the only chicks there), some guy was following me slowly in a car, shouting out stuff. Rollins was walking ahead of me and heard it. Stopped, turned around, walked up to the car and shouted 'SHE IS NOT ON DISPLAY FOR YOUR FUCKING PLEASURE' and kept walking.
"Can I help you guys..." 😂😂 Why in the hell was the tour manager et al allowing outside people into his space fresh off of the stage?? Someone wasn't on the job...He's tired as shit, leave the dude alone for a bit...lol.
Henry is infact on the autism spectrum. He addresses this on Joe Rogan's podcast. He is not mentally ill, he is just past social expectations. He is 100% genuine Henry.
lol prick celebrities use this as a get out. Heard Seinfeld say he was an aspie, he isn't and neither is Rollins. They're just assholes and they know exactly when they're being assholes.
Rollins actually could be. The awkward body movement and speech. There are aspies who know full well the "socially correct" thing to say, but sometimes just cant be bothered with it.
@@rayferdinand4130 The difference is that someone with aspergers or some other form of autism may not have the giminy cricket we do that says, "Don't do that, or Dont say that." Not like a sociopath, but social convention is lost on some. Fuck social convention.
if you dont have aspergers or arent a doctor, youre not allowed to judge whether rolllins is or not...its as simple as that. a simple rule, that pretty much fits on everything, so stick to it.
@@TheMattJacks that's great while we're busy making everybody autistic with poison foods, poison water, poison air, poison medicines and mind poisoning propaganda.. now we can also just label people who are intelligent with their own relevent opinions, and those who speak their minds, as mentally defunct.. great plan! Uh-oh, i just used sarcasm.. to the fema gulags with me! USA.. USA.. USA!!!!!
"I'm cold I'm wet and I'm done selling out, I have to get backstage to my women in my cocaine," has to be the most rock and roll line I've ever heard in my life.
@@southpole76 If you read his tour diaries he wrote stuff like that all the time. People in the scene started calling him a sellout the second they got any notoriety, he was really cynical about it given his disdain for media in general.
@@philmason9653 i'm aware. in the end the man has a limited set of tropes he works with. and being cynical about media contradicts with his massive media presences over the decades and doesn't come across as a good fit with his core product, authenticity
local guy hit 250k on scratch off ticket but thats what he said on news ,was going spend it on coke and women and just waist the rest of it ! I knew the guy he didnt lie either ! died broke 3 years later from cancer but he damn sure enjoyed last 3 years, except the cancer deal I guess
Antisocial is considered a disorder these days? Here I thought it was people looking around and saying to themselves, "I knew it, I'm surrounded by assholes!"
@@grxygxds He's not changed, he's softened up a little or learnt better ways for others to understand what he's trying to say but "if they're mean, I'm bored"... Don't get much meaner and more of a 'useful' idiot than Ann
Never forget seeing Black Flag back in 1985. They were doing My War and during the part when Rollins is singing "and you're one of them! And you're one of them!" He stops, points towards the back of the hall, and says, "and that guy standing back there in the red shirt, he's one of them!" I swear the whole audience turned around at the same time and just stared at this guy in the red shirt all by himself. The dude freakin' points to his chest, mouths the word "me?" and kind of juts his head forward in confusion. It was so god damned funny. He was obviously not there to see the bands. I think he was part of the house sound crew or something. At the time Black Flag had their own sound crew traveling with them, so he was probably just hanging out waiting to get paid. It was so random, I wonder if Rollins remembers?
3:15 "Go away now", as the mere peasant gracefully careens toward the crowd, he reaches the epitome of his life, the very top, for he has been graced by such power, and has been spared
Coolest guy I ever met. I worked security for one of his spoken word shows. I was looking for the back stage bathroom and some of his folk started giving me shit. He remembered me and said "No let him back in. He's real."
@@TehUltimateSnake Yeah, a job where he has to tell his cunt co-workers to leave him alone. I'd rather sit at home in my parents basement playing xbox and smokin weed.
GG Allin was a real rock and roller. Henry Rollins is just a sell out shill that has abandoned everything he espoused for decades, until he became an old, right wing, conservative wanting to reduce his taxes.
GENTLE? He's experiencing what has been called (by the Left) White Guilt. In other wards, he's White-a man and old-he wants to belong to the Hollywood crowd so he now pretends to like everybody. If you wanna Vomit watch the interview he does with Pharrel the guy that did that stupid Happy Song. Back in the day Henry would've shit all over a song like that (guy sounding like broad when he sings).
@@blazinchalice it's a joke. Not a statement on society or some shit. The generational hatred is so stupid we had to deal with it as kids and now that we are older and dont understand young people we hate them and the way they do things. Hey call me crazy but younger generations aren't getting worse were just getting older. Just chill out man.
Henry's "Don't talk to me right now. Why don't you go away for about 20 minutes?" almost has the same impending doom energy as Mike Tyson's "You have to go now. Do you understand me? You have to go."
Back in spring of 1996 I was living down on Orchard Street in the Lower East Side in NYS and one day I was walking home down Houston Street and who do I see walking towards me? Rollins! He was all puffed up and looking all tough and angry and with this "don't mess with me" attitude-- he was carrying a plastic grocery bag and when I got close to him and walked on by I didn't look at his face but down into his bag-- and in it was a carton of eggs. I don't know why, but that made me laugh for days-- perhaps because all my teenage life I thought of him as some tough hardcore punk and there he was-- striving to just get back to his apartment to enjoy a homemade omelet just like any other normal human being. LOL!
Seen him do his live speaking shows a few times. Saw him this year at Wacken and he had me in absolute tears of laughter when describing his first tour with Ozzy.
A 16 year old me made the mistake of asking him for his autograph, because she didn’t know better…….. 48 year old me is still shook by his response, and definitely wouldn’t make the same mistake twice.
He was just a major asshole, i think he realises now. What he tried to do is make people think about what they're doing. Which is good. But it's like he took the chance to be abusive and get away with it, cause he felt he had a good reason. He's the perfect example of how you can be right and wrong at the same time.
I don't understand why people insist on trying to bail Henry Rollins up - it's pretty clear this guy is not one of those "autographs and photo ops" kind of rock stars. I mean, I've always kind of like him but if I saw him in public, I would _not_ approach him.
It's not even that, any performer should be given time to recover after coming off stage, especially someone like Henry Rollins who holds nothing back, gives everything and must be so far beyond drained afterwards he needs time to get his shit together and just breathe
dani cali They should, if they wanna keep being a public figure. Never gonna feel bad for any celebrities for getting the attention they endlessly sell their souls for. Not talking about henry btw
@@BucketPukes1969 I hear yah, some of them really do shamelessly chase the spot light. Rollins isn't one of them. xD If it got in his eyes, he'd throw the lightman off stage.
Henry Rollins is a total badass! Back in 07 he came to Bethesda Maryland to the National Navy Medical to visit with wounded Marines and Salors that had been wounded in Iraq. He was limping around because he had gotten hurt a feww waks before filiming Sons Of Anarchy. I watched that man walk to every Marine and Salor and get teary eyed every time! I've always respected Henry Rolling for who he was with Black Flag but that day I saw the real man and my respect for him grew 100%! Again Henry Rollins is a total Badass!
Started doing weights when I was 22 thanks to Rollins. No-one else helped. Didn't really like his music but his writing and spoken word got me through loads of stuff
Love him or hate him, he's the genuine article. Thank you for giving us Black Flag and Rollins Band, got to see Rollins Band back during the Liar, Low Self Opinion days and it was awesome. The shirt has been retired to storage.
love Black Flag but Henry Rollins is such a self righteous d-bag who thinks hes got life figured out when in reality hes as retarded as any other punk fuck
feel sorry for him? someone whos wealthy, happy and does what they love for a living. like his opinions or not, to feel sorry for someone who is following the life they want and succeeding is pretty pathetic.
Corey is a very opinionated guy, he likes to talk about a lot of stuff but he ain't the most "insightful" or "wise" guy around, Rollins made a living being those things and kind of a philosopher for a long time, so it would be interesting but I willing to bet Henry would win
Henry Rollins is one of the most under-rated legends of our time. I had the pleasure of seeing him live in San Diego about 10 years ago and he was just as real and raw as ever - he put some drunk lady heckler in her place with no holds barred.
BiasDouglas Rotten just like Vicous is a label created pussy. He’s all just an act. Back in the day him and Sid’s scrawny asses would get knocked the fuck out easily if they pissed the wrong person off.
Saw them in 1981, I was 15. Henry had been the singer for about six months. He was pure fury, an uncaged panther that roamed the stage. He expressed the rage we all felt inside. The crowd was a swirling mass of fists and elbows. It was such an amazing experience. It was my first show, but it was just the start of my journey. And now, 43 years later, I'll be seeing them again in Pomona.
"Quite honestly, most women bore me. If they smoke, I'm turned off; if they drink, I'm out of there. If they're stupid, I'm bored; if they're mean, I'm bored. If they're trying to use me, I'm out of there. If they don't work out, I'm not interested. If the mind is lazy and the body's lazy, who cares? Go be fat on someone else's time." SAVAGE.
It's not savage, it's pathetic. Too stupid to realize he's the common denominator and too self-loathing to loosen the fuck up, have some beers or a joint and get laid.
