So true. Now every gluten free vegan dude with tight pants and a fucking bicycle has a sleeve. Or some sappy nonsense writing like "Love through faith" or some other dumb shit quote.
@google Lavon Affair Not rly. I had a few people showing me how life works, but no one was exactly what I was ultimately striving to be. You can find "father figures" everywhere; books, TV, movies, family. However, Henry's POV is something I find inspiring because it makes me want to be a better person and get off my lazy ass. Lots of people have father figures that turn them into racists, xenophobes & crappy individuals. One can choose to be a better man and not succumb to a toxic environment. Hence, Henry.
I can’t help but respect the hell out of Henry Rollins. He’s as genuine as it gets. Doesn’t talk down to people. He’s not mean or bullying. Just an assertive, confident, sound lad. No fluff. What you see is what you get. Pretty cool guy.
sorry I'm a Henry Rollins fan myself, but he DOES belittle people, etc. he is confident, but that comes from a self confidence issue. if you're confident in yourself, you don't get offended when someone, ANYONE says any little thing about you, like a trigger word. you are instead at peace within yourself. on the other hand, his emphasis on fitness, masculinity, his directness, is something missing from today's society. he seems to be a well read man.
@Youre Name Well I've listened to tens of hours of interviews and speeches with him. I got a sense that he's not into the darker side of Hollywood but who knows...
@Youre Name oh cool 😎 your so Aësthetic stfu bro people are entitled to their own opinions ofc everyone has a different face but you can't hide everything forever fucktard
If Henry is educated about certain things, it doesn't make him a "sellout" or a "hypocrite". I love underground music because it's a great alternative from the dumbed down commercial stuff we are fed everyday. It doesn't mean I hate mainstream, some of that is catchy and fun. But there has to be a balance.
He always describes himself as “insatiably curious” & it’s benefitted him greatly. The dude’s self-educated & one of the smartest and most intelligent people alive. It’s been a personal inspiration - he travels extensively & talks about how he talks to the local people & learns a lot from them. I try to do the same when I travel & it’s been a learning experience every time.
@@miguelvasques7854 because punk is underground, besides been a famous person he begins on the underground and there are a lot of other guys on the independent scene with the same ideas and as talented as him.
That's exactly why he's a great guy. You'll often find musicians such as metal heads or punk heads, being very open to dark topics, but are in fact amazing people as they've explored the darkness within themselves, accepted it, and learned how to be a better person.
LOVE the Albert Ayler reference. Rollins Band has helped me through so much heartbreak and existential crisis. Divorce, break ups, unrequited love, job loss, disorientation. So much energy, compassion and motivation in their music and lyrics. I found my way in the end and a bit of love and happiness, too. I am so glad I found these inspiring souls to hold on to in times of despair. I wonder if Henry Rollins will find some romance at some point of his life. Would be a strange turn, but life sure IS strange.
Back in my teens I really wish I understand Henry's message and angle. I'm in my 40s and really admire him. He got me into writing, reading, and being alone is very much a good thing.
makes me wonder if 94 rollins saw 85 rollins debating 2016 talk show rollins.. what would happen if they went to haagen daz and met slightly chubby rollins selling ice cream?
I don't think he was ever slightly chubby. He frequently has talked about being underweight until he started lifting weights and being on Ritalin during his teens and having no appetite at all.
Hank definitely appreciates people who fork over their hard earned cash for his insight and output. As a young'n, I once left a message on his answering machine that he was compelled to respond to with a post card - "FINALLY! SOMEONE WHO CAN SPEAK CLEARLY INTO THE DAMN PHONE. Ok, let me know if there's anything you need."
I don't care for his music very much, but as a person, dude is extremely interesting. Listening to him tell stories is my favorite Rollins related activity....
@W W you're really not helping the stereotype of the ex-military guy that brings up his military service into every conversation haha... I mean no disrespect fella. Or maybe you are making a good point, cause military vets mostly have tattoos, so I guess I could always just shut my mouth lol
just saw Henry Saturday at his speaking event, 2 1/2 hours of him talking without even stopping to take a drink….. nothing but respect for him!!!!! such a beautiful human!!!!!
Sax guy's face said it all: can't tell if it's more surprising that he knows jazz history, or that he loves listening to it, but this guy couldn't be more legit one way or the other. Plus, he always looks like he is on the verge of hulking out, and a death stare that would even Chuck Norris would have to respect
Henry finally softened up a little now in 2020. More like has been able to speak his voice without going to jail based on looks or attitude. My youngest son is not named Henry by accident.
Of all his appearances in late night TV, this one was the best! I wasn't expecting that since we're talking about Jay Leno haha Solid interview! And wow, Tower of Power as musical guest... can't top that!
doesn't realize how incredibly pretentious he comes off when he quotes Nietzsche on network TV, yet is quoting Nietzsche on network TV in order to call other people pretentious...This is why I find this guy entertaining
I know what you mean but it's really not pretentious to quote a brilliant person and then also explain further what he meant. It's a sad world if not dumbing things down is considered pretentious.
I'm pretty sure he went down that path with his responses because Jay decided to immediately acknowledge the fact that the average conservative joes first impression of him based on his physical appearance would likely be that he is some kind of thoughtless neanderthal who only seeks to look intimidating and is otherwise ignorant and uninteresting. He probably was annoyed by that idea on some level and wanted to clear up any misconceptions right off the bat by referencing something obscure/intellectual.
Henry thinks honestly, inwardly, as some do... but he has the balls to *be* honest, outwardly, which very few do. I regard this as a very good quality in people He is also completely approachable, and has always made himself available to his fans. I've had the pleasure to say hi to him a couple times, as many others have, after shows. And it always shows how much he enjoys meeting people.
He’s mellowed out here in comparison to 10 years earlier. I love Henry, he’s one of the people I look up to the most. However, I would probably not want to be close to him if he had a bad day during the Black Flag days. Nowadays though he seems like the most genuine and sweetest guy ever, treating everyone with respect but at the same time always standing his ground. A truly inspiring man.
Jay had cool guests in his early years of the Tonight Show,especially music performers:Neil Young, Mary's Danish,The Bird and the Bee,etc. The best was when he had both Motorhead and the Ramones on in the same week!
Dear god I remember what was so great about the 90's! I am only maybe half as old as Rollins' so I can't remember much before the 90s and I'm sure he thought the same way about the 90's but I bet he misses the 90's now! I know I do. The world needs more people like you, Henry Rollins! I miss REAL MEN BEING MEN! Not some guy dressing like a girl saying that masculinity is wrong! WTF is wrong with the world!?!
He's no joke legit! He'd skateboard on South Beach with locals, friends & was so approachable at the "Cameo". He's ALWAYS BEEN him. Never needed or hyped his "brand". His "Brand" stalked him & begged to cling on to him & his energy. SO DOWN!
That is great what he answers Jay @5:55 about selling out. Made me think about another great band I like and met at my favorite semi secret abandon $$$$ house in the hills skateboard pool local to me. They have lyrics "The public gets what they deserve not what they demand. Unless we all decide to be a business not a band." (Agent Orange) from Orange County CA. Henry Rollins is a great guy and Punk as it is
Is this one of the best Tonight Show interviews of all time? With context about who Rollins is, what he does, and what a place in history he holds? I'd say: yes.

When tattoos used to be frightening...
I well remember the time, and hardly saw anybody with this many. As for the eighties, I don't remember anyone with more than one tattoo!
So true. Now every gluten free vegan dude with tight pants and a fucking bicycle has a sleeve. Or some sappy nonsense writing like "Love through faith" or some other dumb shit quote.
sleeve tats were cool back then
Is cooler now to just not get tattoos because everyone is getting them, so it’s more unique to just not have them haha.
Tattoos are the most boring cliche in western fashion. Poser shite. Pathetic.
Musicians were digging what he was saying.
"Digging"
@@idkdrew fuck off
@Adrian Cloe Speak for yourself....
Minimalistic minded people in general
Henry is prob the only person on the planet that gives me inspiration each time I listen to him.

@google Lavon Affair nice assumption
I agree HR is a very inspiring person
Check out Neil Peart. Him and Henry are two of my inspirations on being my best.
true dat
I feel like Henry would make a really good Terminator
Back in the day when he was yoked to the gills fuck yes but he is like 5”8 so that could be worked around I suppose!
Scottish Locke lol too chez
@Scottish Locke He was pretty great in “He Never Died.” I think that’s as close as we’re gonna get.
- Austintacious - I’m pretty positive that Arnie is 5’8 5’9, unless the roids shortened him in the 00’s haha

Watch his interviews from the 80s, was very much a bully at times
Go watch his interviews with Nardwar
sorry I'm a Henry Rollins fan myself, but he DOES belittle people, etc.
he is confident, but that comes from a self confidence issue.
if you're confident in yourself, you don't get offended when someone, ANYONE says any little thing about you, like a trigger word. you are instead at peace within yourself.
on the other hand, his emphasis on fitness, masculinity, his directness, is something missing from today's society.
he seems to be a well read man.
@@rvz77 or experienced.
Dude grew into that.
He was a major prick in the 80s
Love Henry Rollins...straight forward, no bullshit.
I think Henry Rollins has a truly positive soul and good heart. He's a rare gem in the darkness that is Hollywood.
Yep hollyweard eats souls
@Youre Name Well I've listened to tens of hours of interviews and speeches with him. I got a sense that he's not into the darker side of Hollywood but who knows...

Dude just walks out, wearing white socks and cargo pants and starts quoting Nietzsche. Amazing.
Woah that guy has a black flag tattoo.
You know he was the lead singer of Black Flag right?
@@Hitithardify That would be ironic.

"Theres nothing attractive enough for me to sell out" powerful message henry.
Not even Ice Cream, Mr. Garfield?
@ZCS and on mainstream TV yep
Despite him singing about violence and anarchy and slipping it in, he seems like a great guy to just hang with
That's exactly why he's a great guy. You'll often find musicians such as metal heads or punk heads, being very open to dark topics, but are in fact amazing people as they've explored the darkness within themselves, accepted it, and learned how to be a better person.

Yeah but hooger ho ho ho still wins the best premise in these comments award.
it's a joke. rollins had a job at one point selling ice cream...
yeah he did
Oh shit, get ready for the next new Hollywood blockbuster.
you know you're talking straight on a talk/nightly show if the band claps for you.
Who knew Henry had a pair of shoes.
Under-rated comment.
Or a shirt
nah I just thought he had balls and that was it!

that _"not intro his music but"_ comment
"Not having tattoos" is the new "having tattoos"
Can confirm. Have tattoos.
At this point, because so many people have tattoos now, it's almost more rebellious NOT to get them...

Or maybe you are making a good point, cause military vets mostly have tattoos, so I guess I could always just shut my mouth lol
How about you get what you want to mark on your body and don't give a shit what others do? Simple, you don't care, it's not a problem.
@@yeahmhm2345 I've kind of noticed, that people who say they don't care, happen to care more than most lol...
Naah I hear ya, I'm being unfair.

just saw Henry Saturday at his speaking event, 2 1/2 hours of him talking without even stopping to take a drink….. nothing but respect for him!!!!! such a beautiful human!!!!!
"All those little skateboard boys all have platinum records" loooool
Im on a rollins rabbit hole and loving it. Brilliant
And the guy just gets better with time. Always like to hear what Rollins has on his mind
He doesn’t have kids. But damn he fathered a lot of us misguided ones. The more rollins i get, the more rollins i like
Ha! I'm glad somebody posted this! I saw this the night it was broadcast!
Henry Rollins is still my favorite.
Just favorite for all of it.
Henry is great at talking stories. I got to see him to see him speak a couple years ago and it was very rewarding.
Great Interview
"Tomorrow night will be music from Crash Test Dummies.." What a time to be alive.
Yeah, I miss the 90s every damn day. Had a chance to see Henry speak in 1993 or 94 but I missed it.
hagendf a terrible accident....
His.... hair.... had turned from black into bright white.
@@Chorkaloopa But more importantly, he never lost a single hair after all these decades.
@@Chorkaloopa 🤣🤣🤣
Rollins changed my life, bad ass, intelligent, tight band, progressive metal neo punk he was so brilliant and fresh
I'm glad you posted this.. i remember this when occurred and watched it live, thought it was lost to the ages...
You can’t be the flagship entity of a band like black flag and not have a crazy intensity to you, even a monk like Henry🙏.

I think what I appreciate most about Henry, is his growth from interviews like this.
Leno handled this very well. He could have been a condescending douche, and that would have gone nowhere. But he was very respectful.
eliquate He tried to take a few jabs but he definitely pulled back when needed
Henry finally softened up a little now in 2020. More like has been able to speak his voice without going to jail based on looks or attitude.
My youngest son is not named Henry by accident.
I have known of Henry since the early 80's. I am still waiting for him to Lighten Up!
Got to love Henry what a legend.
He almost rips off Jay's hand with that hand shake, lol. Awesome.
r u my dad. he texts like that so that is why im wondering
me nine You mean texting with proper grammar and punctuation?
@@TehUltimateSnake dad's trademark
This man is GOLD!!!! So refreshig
`Henry making everyone uncomfortable. : D
Me and Henry would get along then I guess. We both tend to do that. XD
If only I knew him. XD
Because he is 😂 Agoraphobic dude fr
DevilMaskMedia Because people hate the truth, unless it just so happens to suit them, but how often is that the case?
Yeah he does that quite a bit.
1994 what a year
This is when Jay is actually listening to the answers & not just looking to make a joke out of everything
His voiceeee
Of all his appearances in late night TV, this one was the best! I wasn't expecting that since we're talking about Jay Leno haha Solid interview! And wow, Tower of Power as musical guest... can't top that!
he has to play a Marvel villain for sure in the future
Funny that Jay brought up the Rollins Scowl - when I met him about 10 yrs ago & my friend took a picture of us, Hank scowled & it was great!
Now THAT was awesome!! I MISS THE OLD DAYS!!!
I want to keep this and many of the other interviews of his that i come across. i just like them.
That was a real trip to nostalgia!
"no dumb 4-4 stuff, it has an avant-edge" don't muddy your water to make it appear deep, 1994 Henry.

Great content. Henry is an interesting man to listen to . Whatever decade.
This Guy needs to be running the States

He is also completely approachable, and has always made himself available to his fans.
I've had the pleasure to say hi to him a couple times, as many others have, after shows. And it always shows how much he enjoys meeting people.
I’d love to see him testify at a congressional hearing and completely outclass the DC politicians.
Ben Shapiro please.

2021 watching this again
Always liked Henry. This was a great interview, a little surprised to hear him refer to Thelonius Monk though, I have a new respect for him now.
I was sold again at muddy waters.

If more people were like Hank, the world would be a much less annoying place to live in.
Awesome
God Bless Henry Rollins !!!! Absolute animal !!
herny never ages really
"People don't gather anymore. They don't gather and talk." Meanwhile in 2021
haha that was awesome Henry is so well spoken and his mannerisms totally kill!
Talking to Jay Leno about selling out is like talking to a Used Car Dealer about selling cars.
Leno: heth atho besth known ath the leadth thinger in rollenth banth
Henry schooled every single person who appeared on camera. "You're funny."
Rollins has some crazy ass stories...like the guy alot
He was epic here
Smart disposition to proceed from 'brother'. OMO in N.Y. USA. Laura DAvanzo
He must have gotten paid big bucks to have been in such a good mood in this appearance.
Well in 1994 Henry was my idol. Still love him....black flag...Rollins band..! 100%
Very intelligent man 💪🏼
Kids, don't be Tyler Durden. Be Henry Rollins.
That is great what he answers Jay @5:55 about selling out. Made me think about another great band I like and met at my favorite semi secret abandon $$$$ house in the hills skateboard pool local to me. They have lyrics "The public gets what they deserve not what they demand. Unless we all decide to be a business not a band." (Agent Orange) from Orange County CA.

The guy is a german at heart.
I miss my buddy Andrew everytime here this guy .
Hahaha what a comeback 😂 "my mom did these" audience reaction is priceless
Now we pay the rent, and tear it up.
Yo! Henry super killed that interview
