Ha, I worked security for him and got to walk him to the van once. He was actually very gracious and said thank you, which was a trip. No fans bothered him so the Q&A seems to work.
Loved the old days when us poor kids could hang out after a gig and just maybe if we were lucky meet our heroes. These paid meet and greets nowadays may be a guarantee but way out of most everyday people's budget.
50 year old fan here. 😊 Love Henry. Great impressions of Perry Farrell, Iggy Pop, and Al Pacino! ❤ Incredible energy! Such an honest, refreshing, sincere storyteller! So cool how he doesn't care how big or small the venue is... Great sense of humor. Fearless... 👍👊
He's going on about a rock lifestyle that most people didn't get that Everybody wants to have and telling it because he's playing in your fantasies hence the energy. Pocketing the money so he can go to wherever. He's using you so you can give him your money. As if he was back stage after a concert kinda thing going on about it Which is why peopke are going to see it now and paying uHe's been doing it. Because he has nothing going on. He didn't write a book of of it all like he's because he can make more speaking it. That's Punk maybe. But i kinda see it he's squeezing utters for fresh milk and just talking about so he can make a buck. So he can live a life that youdidn't. And has.
Opens the meet & greet w/ a story of how he couldn't mentally handle meeting & greeting fans after shows anymore and everyone agreed, begging him to stop doing that...for 5 seconds, when someone suggested doing Meet & Greets after the show for money Henry said what's that? People pay for that? I've never heard of this concept in my decades of touring... How could it work? What is this "VIP?" Surely, the audience will rebel!! And so, here we sit, as Henry reluctantly embarks into this strange new endeavor of charging people more money to talk more, after talking to them literally moments before...for money Hopefully, the extra money will provide him the mental fortitude to endure meeting & greeting fans, or at the very least soften the blow of having to hear the fans speak about their lives for a minute free of charge
A standard performer who did what brought in the crowds. nothing special. It might be remarkable how he stretched such a lifetime career out of the whole thing and commands 'importance'. bottle some of the kids' rage and sell it back to them. that was all.
