There are 2 lessons here 1) Don't be an asshole, because you'll regret it in time; and 2) Henry Rollins is a good example of how people can change for the better.
Yeah twenty somethings fresh out of school can rock whatever energy this is very well, to the point of charisma. Soon as you get an inkling of nuance of how art, sociology and journalism go together, you stop finding shit like this charming.
@@Scotty-P Its an extremely common and annoying question that every interviewer asks, and its disrespectful, since selling out is extremely shunned in the music industry, and especially in the case of Alternative music, like rock or metal.
Now that I’ve seen the full clip I think he totally earned asking if they sold out. He was just adapting the Rollins vibe that was clearly dominating this convo.
what exactly is the issue. kid wanted an interview with a hardcore band. he got it. he tried to pretend he was on their level because he's a fan and was quickly humbled. these are good experiences for kids. if he felt otherwise he wouldn't have shared it for everyone to see. feeling sorry for him is one thing, but if you're gonna make an issue out of nothing you're the one that needs to grow up
I like this kid, and I don't think he was being mean, at all (just a bit naive) however asking Henry if the band was selling out was a bad question and likely to ruffle more than a few feathers. Either though it was a question that was probably doing the rounds in hardcore circles at the time. Especially if you consider that Black Flag never made any money at all, despite their constant, and grueling fly by the seat of your pants, tours in front of the craziest most brutal audience in music. So you get beat up , abused, spat on by some fans, harassed by the police, are borderline broke, all the time, and then some people accuse you of selling out. That question would really feel like a low blow in that context.
Still no excuse for treating a kid like trash for asking a question that was clearly naive and asked without any malice. Doesn't make him look like some brooding passionate musician just an obnoxious dickhead
Good on ya buddy.....you stood up to them way back in the 80s....I reckon Henry may have taught you a thing or two; but at the same time I doubt he would call this his finest moment....
Henry is basically just measuring sticks to see who’s the coolest and toughest. The kid is kind of trolling with questions intended to provoke a reaction. It’s all over the place. Hormones more than anything meaningful.
“Make me confess.” “So… you guys selling out?” I mean, HR wanted a hard-hitting question, and the kid delivered. Kid knew it was a dumb question, but he asked it. That’s what HR wanted. Or, at least that’s what I believe. Kid’s got balls.
@@Alex-tx6by That's true. I just found out how much of a freak Greg is. (or at least how much of a freak he is when he's drunk or on drugs anyway) Then again, I don't know him in person.
This isn't an excuse, but it was the cops that really made him like that. That, and the nazis that beat the dogshit out of henry just for fun every night. Like henry(and heidi) would later say, this was misplaced anger going on here.
@@Delowist a highway patrolmen literally tried to murder henry with a billyclub swung at his head while riding past on horseback. Pretty sure its common knowledge at this point that LA cops are some of the most corrupt in the world espeically back then
Yup. I can tell the kid earned some patience from Rollins’ sociopathic hazing he just put him through by holding his ground. Rollins is clearly an autistic narcissist who is fragile in ways nobody at the time was acknowledging, and he even tries to dissemble into humor that bombs. Rollins seems hyper aware of the nature of subculture and hates it because he’s got a high IQ but also hates everyone else who doesn’t know that subculture is a self parasitic social club.
There is a longer version of this interview one seen before. At the end they have a conversation about how Henry was mean and he was saying hey well you got some good stuff in there just cut out the mean stuff…. Been looking for the longer version for a while
There's an interview with grown up Henry, where he says he had a kinda hard working life, since a young age. He may be proyecting his bad years over a moody, inocent and "soft" kid. We tend to get uncomfortable when something or someone portrays the non elaborated aspects of our personalities, and it can be manifested in many ways. Mentioned interview: Henry Rollins: The One Decision that Changed My Life Forever | Big Think
Already at 0:32 he goes even beyond just standard rude speech and grabs the guy's head and pulls on his hair. Then says some weird stuff about "what is your scam". The kid barely said anything by that point, the "sellout" comment can't even be used as an excuse (not that this would excuse the excessive rudeness either). Honestly no matter who was interviewing him that seems excessively rude, though I'd wager if it was someone more intimidating he wouldn't have acted as he did. This is just for the people who defend Henry Rollins still, I know he didn't even defend his own actions here (which should tell those people that they shouldn't defend him here either).
Henry Rollins is a complete asshole for this. I get that the environment was hostile, but this kid is obviously nervous and trying his best. I’m such a fan of Henry, but this is the most unpunk thing I’ve seen from him. Bullying is fucking lame especially to a child trying to do his best with an intimidating band.
I think that kid was being way more real than Black Flag. He just enjoys music and doing interviews. He stood his ground. He knew he wasn't being treated right. He's just a kid and Henry shouldn't have held him to literally everything he said while he was making him nervous on purpose
@@JosephFuckinStalinthey looked like they just finished a set too which is probably the worst time to interview band especially Black Flag they ready to rip someone’s head off. The kid didn’t know any better
@@holoceph3916 That's another thing too. It must've sucked being in Black Flag. Hence Henry projected the whole "you wouldn't last one week in this band" bit. He's probably right. They really did seem agitated half of their career
Black Flag es una banda de hardcore punk originaria de Hermosa Beach, California, Estados Unidos. Fue fundada en 1976 por Greg Ginn (guitarrista y compositor principal). Pioneros en su estilo, se caracterizan por el uso frecuente de guitarras atonales, cambios de tempo y letras intensas y sugerentes. Al igual que las bandas de hardcore de esta época, los tópicos principales de Black Flag son el antiautoritarismo, la soledad, la neurosis, la pobreza y la paranoia. Estos temas se profundizan cuando Henry Rollins se une al grupo como cantante en 1981. La mayoría del material de la banda fue lanzado por el sello independiente de Ginn, SST Records.
Acho que henry rollins se comportou como um perfeito babaca nessa entrevista. Hoje em dia ele está bem mais maduro. O garoto era mais maduro do que ele e foi valente.
Henry was annoyed but halfway in the kid made a comment that could have been easily interpreted as racist about Dearborn changing. That really set him off.
Fuck that!! Physical or not, bullying can stay with your mind AND body (mainly your stomach) for YEARS!! Even if henry did change, his change is indicated that henry himself would probably take my side on this issue.
@PainAndDisdain yeah, I changed my username a minute ago, but supposedly, it doesn't change the whole "@" thing. That is fixed now, too! Though I do still grudgingly enjoy pantera.
This would have been good if Henry could actually be witty on the fly, but he can’t. He’s really struggling to be “clever” and he’s coming off as a jock who showed up to a Goth Halloween party wearing drawstring sweat pants and an Ocean Pacific pullover

So Rollins hated 'the biz' at that particular moment that's aligned with popular entertainers (the media) - get it. But the kid with the bad haircut and clothes stayed put. He may have been somewhat inarticulate, but who isn't at age 15 or 16? Nonetheless, he didn't run away like a bitch and seemed to be adjusting/getting braver as the dialogue proceeded. So good for both HE and ROLLINS for being real!!! LL
@@silverkitty2503 Thanks for sharing. I dunno if the kid ever 'owned' Rollins during this exchange, but the kid certainly held his own - eventually! ;-) LL
@silverkitty2503 He picked a fight with the kid, then owned the kid. Well, unless, like another commenter said, henry picked up some kind of cocky body language from the kid that he was just pouncing on.
Rollins. He's in his mid-twenties slapping around a high school junior for just asking questions. He did this all ostensibly sober, which is not more impressive 😆
@@doubtshadow1 It's punk in the 80's. , And who hasn't had the most adolescent & trivial conversations at that age. Heck we're a lot older today and we still do it haha
@@zippymufo9765you’re correct that punk was aggressive and antisocial, but that was directed at authority and the establishment. punching down and victimising other people wasn’t punk. Rollins has since commented on this incident and clearly regrets the way he acted.
You know what really pisses me off, how mean rollins was to this poor kid. Shame on him. He was just trying to do his fucking job and Henry tried to destroy him, but failed :-)
"Trying so hard to be rad"? 😂 Henry's annoyed by this kid's stupid questions and he's showing him how dumb he was behaving. Props to the kid for holding his own, but I don't see how Henry failed at anything guy. Get your facts straight.
@@squareinsquare2078 He's apologized for it repeatedly. He was sick of having to fight dumb punks all the time and fully admits to unfairly taking it out on this dumb kid. I'm sure you also did stupid things when you were young that you now regret.
@@squareinsquare2078 I don’t think Henry has to bully a kid to look cool for anyone my guy. He’s a cool guy all on his own. This kid was incredibly annoying and I don’t blame Henry for reacting the way he did.
8:16 Classic passive-aggressive master suppression technique. The kid could've said anything, and he still would have corrected him just to show he's in charge.
Henry could be very scary..in fact. I used to tour w. Birthday party..but. black flag is the only gig i missed..out of FEAR..I LL REGRET IT FOR EVER..AND WENT TO SEE HIM PLAY FIRST ROLLINS GIG IN LONDEN..IN 84..WAS BRUTAL TOO. BUT YEA..GODDAMN..I LL NEVER FORGIVE MYSELF
I love how everybody out there is giving Henry grief about this like he’s still the same person that he was then. If anything this is a testament to the growth he’s had since then. This was punk rock. This was the way it used to be. He’s Judd Nelson in the breakfast club. People like that, should they survive long enough, usually become wise people. It would be far more disappointing if he just bent to the status quo.
This kid came on back stage to make a fuckin interview with the band and he came with ass hole attitude,playing a big journalist try to mocking around with Henry Rollins.First the kid is a fuckin brat,a little cunt who think i am smarter then you i go to the colegge i gonna be a R.Stone magazine journalist.He hase a really good luck,beacouse he make him selfe a one intch of be beat of the band members and they crew,they allmost clean the floor with his stupid head,ok.If he came with the same stupid ass hole attitude in back stage of some other band and crew,maybe in NYC in Lower east side to fucking around with the A Front crew,Cro-Mags,M.Law's,Danny Diablo....etc.He probably gonna finish in some emergency Center with broken bones and maybe stabbed even.....solo brat this is NOT a Punk rock thing from the 80ies ok,this is dissrespect a band and all People who leave you to be theirs quest and maybe to drink a few beers and having a good times but if you dont respect all this then FUCK YOU men
When the stupid kid asks the question, "Tell the audience why you're not selling out." Just what is that question supposed to mean anyway? Is Henry Rollins supposed to feel guilty about earning a living, earning money, to support himself in the entertainment industry? Henry's comeback stating, "Well, we have nothing to defend," was a good one. That dumb kid was so stupid to think he was talking to someone who was beneath him. Henry Rollins isn't beneath anyone or anything. His Howard Stern interview proved that. He is a very smart quick thinking man. He seems a good person even I never met him. I do like very much his quotation when he said, "I don't want you on my side, I want you on your side. Be an Army of one, a lord of your own church." Very good Mr. Rollins.
Henry has stated that he was the one in this scenario that was in the wrong lol, not the kid. The kid isn't stupid, he's matching his energy and handling himself well. He was enthusiastic about the music and probably didn't know what he was getting into, as Henry said himself, there was displaced anger from all of the stuff he was experiencing with his mental health and the negatives of being on tour and having violent confrontations every night. I recommend his book "Get in the Van", it sheds light onto the rough way of life and sacrifice it was to be in Black Flag at the time. At that time, he was still living in relative squalor with not much money.
The funniest part by far is Bill yelling out in the background “why, cuz you fuck slow?” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 And later: “you’re better off buying the new Saga release!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀
No one was actually mean to the kid until he accused them of writing music they don't want to write just to make money. And they were all like 22. It's not their jobs to be child psychologists.
@@4ourty5ive And then he reflected on that video later and his assistant Heidi said "that wasn't the Henry I know"-- HE WAS 22!! He was self-critical of this behavior, of course, but keep in mind this is a very tortured but well-meaning kid from DC who by his own admission spent his entire childhood in his room or at work waiting for the Ramones to happen, and this was 4 years after he got thrown into the shark tank. People don't realize just how insane that time was. There was probably a wall of cops right outside this show just waiting to beat people.
@raddkahnengels Well, I mean, if you watch the whole interview, you will see that the kid was trying to basically hold his own while being cornered by the bullies that were black flag.
I think Henry should address this interview and explain, and apologise! Henry is a real thinker, so surely he can look back and see this. I am hoping Henry was just drunk and on drugs!
Why is Rollins on such a high horse now, I wish he addressed this now. That break in was karma for sure, for bullying, a kid the size of Kira. Also that kid rose to the challenge when he said r u selling out, thats ballsy, and they had weak comebacks.
He admitted what he did to this kid was wrong. He also explained that he was going through alot of shit at this time and misplaced his anger out on this poor kid who was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
People can call it and say what they want, especially if their not traveling around in a van and being in potentially dangerous situations at times back in those days. Being fucked with constantly. It will take its toll. At least the guy didnt get the shit kicked out him or was in a dangerous situation unlike the band probably had constantly

@@doubtshadow1 Just imagine, at one point punk was aggressive and antisocial. It wasn't politically correct or safe.
@@zippymufo9765you’re correct that punk was aggressive and antisocial, but that was directed at authority and the establishment. punching down and victimising other people wasn’t punk. Rollins has since commented on this incident and clearly regrets the way he acted.
You know what really pisses me off, how mean rollins was to this poor kid. Shame on him. He was just trying to do his fucking job and Henry tried to destroy him, but failed :-)
He tried to seek and destroy, but failed miserably
honesty is considered mean????
wearing a black flag shirt to my law enforcement class tomorrow wish me luck
Pig
I know just the shirt..
I feel like I just witnessed two Greek gods fighting each other.
Rollins was such a dick here.
Rollins trying so hard to be rad. And failing miseribly. Props to the kid.
"Trying so hard to be rad"? 😂 Henry's annoyed by this kid's stupid questions and he's showing him how dumb he was behaving. Props to the kid for holding his own, but I don't see how Henry failed at anything guy. Get your facts straight.
@@KingDevilCharger He's bullying a kid to look cool on front of his pals. Rollins is, and always has been, incredibly lame. Great music though.
@@squareinsquare2078 He's apologized for it repeatedly. He was sick of having to fight dumb punks all the time and fully admits to unfairly taking it out on this dumb kid. I'm sure you also did stupid things when you were young that you now regret.
@@squareinsquare2078 I don’t think Henry has to bully a kid to look cool for anyone my guy. He’s a cool guy all on his own. This kid was incredibly annoying and I don’t blame Henry for reacting the way he did.
@@KingDevilCharger "My guy" 🤣. Lameness runs in his fanbase too .....
Nothing like getting beat up by Black Flag's fourth best singer.
You sound like you weren't even there for the others
lol
Henry has always been cringe
8:16 Classic passive-aggressive master suppression technique. The kid could've said anything, and he still would have corrected him just to show he's in charge.
Henry could be very scary..in fact. I used to tour w. Birthday party..but. black flag is the only gig i missed..out of FEAR..I LL REGRET IT FOR EVER..AND WENT TO SEE HIM PLAY FIRST ROLLINS GIG IN LONDEN..IN 84..WAS BRUTAL TOO. BUT YEA..GODDAMN..I LL NEVER FORGIVE MYSELF
Loser
What a try hard.
Yeah he's a dork, always has been.
Scene, what's a scene¿?¿??¿?
Dude trolled HR hard lol. Good job.
Uh, I think the opposite actually happened.
I love how everybody out there is giving Henry grief about this like he’s still the same person that he was then. If anything this is a testament to the growth he’s had since then. This was punk rock. This was the way it used to be. He’s Judd Nelson in the breakfast club. People like that, should they survive long enough, usually become wise people. It would be far more disappointing if he just bent to the status quo.
he is the same douche bag, just more sober. the person in this video was high
Status quo?.....being civil to a student journalist or, ya know, just declining the interview?
@@doubtshadow1 Sedate all that you hate , it'll get you nowhere
He's still an obnoxious dickhead what do you mean lol he's been a pretentious shit head most of his life lol
This kid came on back stage to make a fuckin interview with the band and he came with ass hole attitude,playing a big journalist try to mocking around with Henry Rollins.First the kid is a fuckin brat,a little cunt who think i am smarter then you i go to the colegge i gonna be a R.Stone magazine journalist.He hase a really good luck,beacouse he make him selfe a one intch of be beat of the band members and they crew,they allmost clean the floor with his stupid head,ok.If he came with the same stupid ass hole attitude in back stage of some other band and crew,maybe in NYC in Lower east side to fucking around with the A Front crew,Cro-Mags,M.Law's,Danny Diablo....etc.He probably gonna finish in some emergency Center with broken bones and maybe stabbed even.....solo brat this is NOT a Punk rock thing from the 80ies ok,this is dissrespect a band and all People who leave you to be theirs quest and maybe to drink a few beers and having a good times but if you dont respect all this then FUCK YOU men
It goes both ways
When the stupid kid asks the question, "Tell the audience why you're not selling out." Just what is that question supposed to mean anyway? Is Henry Rollins supposed to feel guilty about earning a living, earning money, to support himself in the entertainment industry? Henry's comeback stating, "Well, we have nothing to defend," was a good one. That dumb kid was so stupid to think he was talking to someone who was beneath him. Henry Rollins isn't beneath anyone or anything. His Howard Stern interview proved that. He is a very smart quick thinking man. He seems a good person even I never met him.
I do like very much his quotation when he said, "I don't want you on my side, I want you on your side. Be an Army of one, a lord of your own church." Very good Mr. Rollins.
Henry has stated that he was the one in this scenario that was in the wrong lol, not the kid. The kid isn't stupid, he's matching his energy and handling himself well. He was enthusiastic about the music and probably didn't know what he was getting into, as Henry said himself, there was displaced anger from all of the stuff he was experiencing with his mental health and the negatives of being on tour and having violent confrontations every night. I recommend his book "Get in the Van", it sheds light onto the rough way of life and sacrifice it was to be in Black Flag at the time. At that time, he was still living in relative squalor with not much money.
I dunno how the f I came to this video but this is weird on so many levels
That kid look like the biggest poser
Which one of Rollins’ secret boyfriends are you?
@@ramparts1445hes the one that likes to receive and not give and by that i mean up the poop chute
That kid is in his mid 50s now
This is hard to watch lol Henry was intimidating this kid big time, the kid reminds me of Anthony michael hall
I will always love black flag and Rollins and I've seen both those bands
The funniest part by far is Bill yelling out in the background “why, cuz you fuck slow?” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 And later: “you’re better off buying the new Saga release!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀
He's being a prick the whole time to a kid
No one was actually mean to the kid until he accused them of writing music they don't want to write just to make money. And they were all like 22. It's not their jobs to be child psychologists.
@@raddkahnengels well said, well said
@@4ourty5ive And then he reflected on that video later and his assistant Heidi said "that wasn't the Henry I know"-- HE WAS 22!! He was self-critical of this behavior, of course, but keep in mind this is a very tortured but well-meaning kid from DC who by his own admission spent his entire childhood in his room or at work waiting for the Ramones to happen, and this was 4 years after he got thrown into the shark tank. People don't realize just how insane that time was. There was probably a wall of cops right outside this show just waiting to beat people.
@raddkahnengels Well, I mean, if you watch the whole interview, you will see that the kid was trying to basically hold his own while being cornered by the bullies that were black flag.
He didn’t know one other SST band? Descendents?
Wearing the bully shorts....
I think Henry should address this interview and explain, and apologise! Henry is a real thinker, so surely he can look back and see this. I am hoping Henry was just drunk and on drugs!
Kid was a poser and trying too hard. Regardless of who was right, and both were probably in the wrong, that much is for sure.
how i expected cocaine to make me feel
I really like Ron Reyes
Why is Rollins on such a high horse now, I wish he addressed this now. That break in was karma for sure, for bullying, a kid the size of Kira. Also that kid rose to the challenge when he said r u selling out, thats ballsy, and they had weak comebacks.
He did on his podcast. He says he feels really bad about it and that he was going through a lot emotionally at the time.
He admitted what he did to this kid was wrong. He also explained that he was going through alot of shit at this time and misplaced his anger out on this poor kid who was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
People can see this video and actually think Henry was in the right or the kid did anything that deserved the diva treatment Rollins was dishing out
Wonder how that kid turned out lool
People can call it and say what they want, especially if their not traveling around in a van and being in potentially dangerous situations at times back in those days. Being fucked with constantly. It will take its toll. At least the guy didnt get the shit kicked out him or was in a dangerous situation unlike the band probably had constantly
i wont allow the meat puppets slander
when was this taped?
Lol, kid is much cooler than Rollins
LoL To limpwristed generations
