Henry Rollins - What's In My Bag? 

I wish he had a youtube series where he simply teaches us about music he likes.

Henry Rollins is a great example of how a punk legend can live past 50 without self destructing or becoming a joke

Henry Rollins looks like a football coach.

Henry is one of a few 'what's in my bag' guest who was buying entirely new music (to him) rather than talking about his faves.

henry rollins alway looks so worried

Rollins loves music. I love that about him. He is a rare, special, contradicting, talented, and strange dude.

Rollins always looks like he is one wrong look from kicking someone’s ass

They should have him do this once a month.

"There are two kinds of people: those who get Devo, and those who don't." ~ Henry Rollins

I love how Henry is the king of hipsters, but also their biggest enemy

Out of all the what's in my bags, Henry Rollins and Eric Andre are the 2 I would like back on the show. Both have are interesting people with eclectic taste. Don't get me wrong, I love how an artists describes their favourite smiths record but I want unearthed gems

It must be insane to go record shopping and see one of the most legendary figures in punk just strolling around, looking like a maniac.

That is some abstract taste in music. No wonder he seems pissed off all the time.

dont get people complaining about artists being "snotty". i found tons of new great music through whats in my bag videos. dont really wanna see records ive already listened to

Henry Rollins is one of my favorite people

I trust anything this duder says

his facial expressions

Okay, wow. I'm subscribing. This is such an awesome way to find awesome artists to listen to.

Damn he's into some really obscure wacky minimal stuff I love it

Devo shirt......good man, good man.

DEVO is awesome too so I love his shirt

TV PARTY TONIGHT!

This reminds me of years ago when Henry played some very cool songs on the radio by a band I knew but I didn't know or have those particular songs or recordings he was playing. (hint, they're from a Nordic country, they had two different names at different periods, they did a great Roky Erickson cover and Lydia Lunch recorded a song with them) These recordings were part of a very extensive, out or print, box set and I was instantly hooked. I want that music bad but it's somewhat rare and quite expensive and I didn't have the dough. Anyway, I wrote Henry an email to thank him for turning me on to this music and I think I made a joke playing off something he said on air to the effect of "if I could nod my head and make __________ happen...". Henry replied with a nice note. He also included a digital download link of the entire box set! Wow!! Dude!!! Incredibly generous. Thank you!!! As I saw it Henry was lending me those records and that should only be temporary. Eventually I got the money and I wanted to do the right thing and buy that box set proper so I'd have the physical media in my hands and not feel like we might have done something less than totally correct. So I went to Discogs, I located a seller in Europe and I bought it at last. It was an arm and a leg to buy--for me anyway. I don't remember how much now but that's not what's important and that's the point I'm driving at. What's important... what I do appreciate and I will always remember is I have that music in my library now, Henry turned me on to it and let me 'borrow it' so to speak. That's what's in my bag. Thank you, Henry. Fanatically...

CD Party Tonight... We're gonna have a CD Party Tonight... All Right!

I went into Amoeba my first time in Los Angeles 4 years ago. That place is incredbile! I was in heaven. So many albums of of every kind. I wish they had one in Manhattan.

the one guy from the punk era who didn't destroy himself and is brutally honest very straight up no BS .

The one thing that has been consistent for years is Rollins never has an uninteresting suggestion for music or books, he to this day will show you stuff you've never heard of that is always interesting or intense. Hats off!

I friggin love Henry's taste in music! His radio show on KCRW is a fantastic 2 hour experience every Sunday night.

oh ive had such a crush on henry since i was an angsty teenage grrrl watching the liar video 😍

Kaoru Abe. Phenomenal player no doubt about it

I fucking love that store.

Love this. What an inspiring man! While I loved his work with music, I still have the spoken word LP where he goes on about the PMRC. Brilliant. Thanks for sharing his personal musical selections.

Love the Devo shirt! They are so underrated within the punk community..

I love this man.

The intro to 6 pack always gets me going, doesn't matter what's going on

3-inch bonus CD-R

love your t-shirt henry - go DEVO !!!

This man is a walking, talking music encyclopedia. Does psa's for the local collage when they do fund raisers for the school radio station. Why? Because he loves music. Period.

You had to know a J. Mascis/Dinosaur jr. album would end up in his bag!

Interesting selection Mr. Rollins. Thanks Amoeba.

Jeeeeeeezzz, Henry looked close to SMILING while describing the music! 😆😉

Wow I love this series! Thank you.

Sold him some cds back in 2000 ish at Tower records in london Awesome dude Bought lots of jazz music

Keep Rolling Along Rollins you are a Good Guy

that jokers record sounded sick. All sound like great choices. I would expect no less from motherfuckin' Henry Rollins

I love hearing Henry talk about his interest 🥺

these videos are schooling me big time, love em

I saw Henry Rollins’ Spoken Word Tour at Kent State in the mid 90s. He blathered on interminably for more than 7 hours. It was a veritable hell on earth, and I actually grew a full beard during the Rollins rant. Good times.

Finally a good episode 👍🏻 normally don’t recognize most of the peeps on here

Wow, what a great person to interview for this. Have to check out that Hive mind guy.

Nice one Henry, never knew of Hive Mind and the stuff is excellent.

Damn, why did it take so long for me to find this...and Chondritic? Belated thank you, Mr Rollins!

Great videos. Thank you for sharing them.

I love Henry Rollins

i think this is the best "what's in your bag". this guy has a genuine love and support for experimental music artists

Amoeba music! I loved that place when I went to Los Angeles.

A living legend dropping some knowledge!!

Henry's got great taste.

Fun fact: Hive Mind (aka Greh) is the guy who runs Chondritic Sound, great f/cking taste dude

Henry Rollins is one MY favourite punk rockers and it's fascinating how eclectic his music taste is which encourages me to be eclectic where i miss John peel

Rollins surprises me everytime I see him. I love devo.

I'm impressed with Henry's grasp of many music artists around the world.

"Henry Rollin's visits Amoeba records, should just be a show unto itself.

He's the most INTENSE shopper ever

Cool dude. Met Hank a couple of times in 80's during one of his Rollins Band tours.

I've watched this many times like it a lot

The best picks I've ever seen on this series

This guy made the the most sick hard rock/punk ever. Rollins band was GREAT ! Saw them twice in Philly. Place went nuts. Look up the album Weight . Ridiculously good

This man has always been a personal hero of mine, Henry you rock!

I love the different Genres he picks, just a class A man right there

They broke the mold, so to speak, when they made Henry. One of my favorite humans.

Henry is one of my favorite humans ❤

Love the premise of this. ✌🏼️

Love how he is wearing a devo shirt

Rollins is a beautiful example of a punk who’s music is still diverse, and I love that 😁

Note the subtle downward glance at 3:26. Couldn't stop himself haha!

I'm so glad to know that he likes a variety of different kinds of music.

He is one of my favorites things!

I'm from Iran and I've never heard about the jokers band,I should check them out too

i died when pulled out that kaoru abe

impeccable taste

...love how this clip was bookended by "Six Pack" and "TV Party" as intro and outro music, respectively!

what a perfectly wonderful weirdo haha

We've got nothing better to do, then watch TV and have a couple of brews

Tons of respect for Henry.

love his attraction to the obscure, it's so great!

I love this dude. legend

looks like i will be listening to Hive Mind next. thanks Hank!

Amoeba should be buying from Henry with his insane Vinyl and music collection.

Oh wow. Best "What's In My Bag?" I've seen in a while.

Still exploring sounds...fun!

i totally used to have that devo shirt. great album!

He shops for music just like I do! Buying CD’s of artists I like or that just look cool.

I was in this Helsinki record store years ago and met The Rollins searching for the weirdest local homemade noise ambient available. Great guy.

that jokers sounds awesome

Very interesting stuff.

Thanks for introducing me to Hive Mind.

Damn, henry rollins with all these obscure choices, fucking awesome.

I'm wearing the same DEVO shirt right now that he's wearing in this video-- sweet!

Awesome
