i was right there, at the front all day .Henry was baiting us British fans like fuck. It was fantastic. people around me were getting well pissed off with him, they just didn't get him or his humour. i loved it though. one of the most memorable live performances I've ever seen.
Dunno if anyone gives a damn but if you're stoned like me during the covid times then you can stream pretty much all of the latest movies and series on instaflixxer. Been watching with my brother for the last couple of months xD
He is a beast. He have gone full beast mode in this performance. An animal. A force of nature. … and he probably saved my life doing so. Thank you, man. I owe you one.
I love the slow beautiful music leading into the brutal "Liar" sections. When we discuss the greatest rock bands I think Rollins Band is rarely mentioned, but this band put out some really amazing music. (My favorite is "All I Want".) And the live performances prove what great musicians they are.
Of course the crowd ‘got it’ it’s classic British humour and H knows it! And he would be gutted if he didn’t get ‘you fat bastard’ chanted back to him lovingly and with clear deep irony. Great showman. Poet. Lyricist. Human being.
I was there. Meeting Henry in the press area, I introduced myself to the artist, asking, "Hello, Mr Rollins, may I take a photo"? I still have that photo, although after 29 years I'm not sure where it is? He was an imposing figure. Having seen the band on the preceding tour, at Leicester's De Monfort Uni (post-Polytechnic), in the photographer's pit, I witnessed a superb performance, closer than anything I had at Reading. Henry Rollins is one great performer. It is ingrained in my memory.
fucking hell what a performance. rollins is a beast, a force of nature he is HENRY fucking ROLLINS - you can not put him in a niche, class, category or whatever. there will never be another man like him. the only human being i really look up to. thanks man!
Fantastic! The video and recorded version is a great message to women looking for a relationship and wondering why they're getting jerked around (and visa-versa), and this message is probably most artists actual feelings for their audience.
I remember this, when he said all your j rotton records go pale. Wildhearts were the loudest band I've ever seen played that day. Best fest I've seen. RHCP/ Soundgarden/ Rollins, brilliant.
@@hahndrang I couldn't remember Soundgarden tho they are on the poster, i thought maybe cos i wasnt into them, but they didn't play so all is clear now thanks.
Kind of makes me sad that an English crowd couldn't get Rollins' sardonic sense of humour... How can they have missed the whole point of the song?! He's exposing the malignant narcissists mind.
What I loved about it was that those that were upset with him thought he was speaking directly to them....but he was also part of a song that was being played. Maybe it was too much for some people minds and they thought there were multiple levels of performance going on at once.
Who else remembers The Beat? What a brilliant show that was. Why the f*** doesn't any UK tv channels have any music shows anymore aside from Jools Holland which for me is always rather tedious. Thanks for sharing this Travis!
Damn, that song never fails to send shivers. It's one of the most important and passionate songs/performances in music history. He really went all out on this one. I've heard some live ones when he didn't really go all out with that raspiness in his voice like it was shredding his vocals. Not this one though.
ahhh man..those fuc-ing amazing gigs in the 90's with that crazy crowd...... Rollins live was a beast, no easy to explaine so fuc-king hilarious all the intro to the song , man 😅 what a legend and crazy guy This video is perfect - such an iconic moment of the 90's - at the sunset, the crowd, everything perfect - I was at Reading festival the year after, 1995, and it was also fantastic - i guess all the editions from 1990 to 1995 were some of the best festival ever, with legendary acts at the top of of their career
I was there, so surreal watching this amazing performance in the afternoon. Everyone around me was laughing at Henry taking the piss out of us and leaping about. Something else, maaaan!
Me & my brother remember Rollins performance that day & the energy he shot in to the crowd! & it got the Mosh pit fired up!. If you take yourself. seriously your yonna get offended!! "Do you get it yet sucker" Happy Days..
When he sings he's at his most real. "Waiting for a long time forever. Because everything I say is everything that you've ever wanted to hear. I'M A LIAR." That's an introvert talking, that knows that no one really identifies with him. Keep on thinking that you get him. But the reason that you like him is probably because you don't get him.
Omg immense!! Very late getting to this one. Hahaha he's such a great performer. Where he turns the victory sign into the f you sign and laughs after it!! He dragged me in again with his apology about his off hand remarks only to turn it straight back round in such an evil way. Made me laugh so much!! Thanks Henry!
He told my whole life story... Lonely, ugly, loser. Than at 21 I found that one girl, who told me everything and more and believed it all, than she walked out without a care in the world after 5 years of lying, left me scarred for life as she was way outta my league. I should've known after a lifetime of being the ugly duckling and not even able to get the ugly chicks, than this beautiful, smart, funny girl comes along and makes me believe I'm all that, which is a dangerous thing to do to someone who's really ugly cause people will walk out at slightest show of confidence or ego... And yes my friends even stopped talking to me... What im saying is if someone comes along and it seems too good to be true it probably isnt
Hahahahaha!!! I love this band, saw them live and it blew me away. Not long after that I was shocked he called out one of my favorite artists and slagged him off so in putting aside my abhorance of waste and deforestation...i'm sorry you missed him, that would have been hilarious! And no, i'm not a Henry hater, but I have a feeling he gets off on being arrogant.
Mmmm drinking the tears of haters, so sweet! I have no reason to lie nor do I care if people don't believe me. I know it happened, my friends who were there ith me know it happened and frankly that's enough for me 😁 enjoy your jealousy and hate. I shall enjoy the memory as I sip at the jug of your tears 🍺🤣
@@CindyBarg I think Henry, though arrogant, feeds off of the thought that people believe his arrogance is as inflated as it's perceived. If that makes sense haha. He certainly doesn't pull any punches in voicing his opinion, not from what I've seen anyway. As you said though, they're a great band!
i thought it was hilarious how the guy said "we're gonna keep our foot hard on the accelerator now" and then they cut it at arguably the most chaotic part of the song
I love the fact that the crowd don't get that this is just an act......what he says on the other hand......spin tingling truth hammer on the nail head s**t!!
They look fucking super pumped to me? Look at them fucking mosh! Lol, I think they are just getting into the spirit of things man, letting it rip you know?
@Saudade The comment I replied to basically said the crowd doesn't get that Henry trying to rile them up is just an act, implying that he believe the crowd was truly buying it... I said they weren't. Then you further my point by claiming they were "motionless" So, if they are in fact motionless, they are NOT riled up, and therefore not buying it. Like I said
Rollins taking the piss out of the English audience, and incorporating it into his song is the very definition of art.
He's a Beast.

I for one appreciate your momentary ability to be true, I'm prepared 4 America!!!! 😆👍👍👍👍👍
I was there. Not a bit of offence was taken :)

Agreed 100%, I remember that too. I thought they were brilliant and he was really funny.
Dribbling here
He's awesome
Amazing
what were they chanting??
This will always be one of the hardest songs of all time
I love how he rewrote the verses just for this audience
He was spot on...and anyone with any sense will love it!!!
I don't always agree with Henry, but this was a great moment in music.
I think he improvised it lol
Didnt you ever see him live? He used to do this a lot in Liar.
Dunno if anyone gives a damn but if you're stoned like me during the covid times then you can stream pretty much all of the latest movies and series on instaflixxer. Been watching with my brother for the last couple of months xD
@Dorian Aydin yup, I've been using Instaflixxer for years myself :D
The bass is just amazing here
Melvin Gibbs is a bass badass with a track record to prove it. :)
"I´m the one who makes you forget the shitty little rainny country you live in" Jaja, classic Rollins!!
😅
He is a beast. He have gone full beast mode in this performance.
An animal. A force of nature.
… and he probably saved my life doing so.
Thank you, man. I owe you one.
One of the best frontman in music history.
*Cedric Bixler-Zavala has entered the chat*
i concur
I love the slow beautiful music leading into the brutal "Liar" sections. When we discuss the greatest rock bands I think Rollins Band is rarely mentioned, but this band put out some really amazing music. (My favorite is "All I Want".) And the live performances prove what great musicians they are.
you should check out a band called the enablers off neurot recordings
This version is even better than the original - love that record!
it is, even more energy, unbelaivable
Cuz it feels more raw and he calls out the people who attended
Of course the crowd ‘got it’ it’s classic British humour and H knows it! And he would be gutted if he didn’t get ‘you fat bastard’ chanted back to him lovingly and with clear deep irony. Great showman. Poet. Lyricist. Human being.
You're a LIAR!
yeah you're a liar
I loved Rollins as a teenager, but he intimidated the fuck out of me. I could tell he was brilliantly crazy.
My first ever music festival- such a great lineup that day - Helmet, Jesus Lizard, Senser, Rollins Band, Therapy, Chilli Peppers. Good times!
Ah... Therapy? Fuck, that brings back some memories. Not repressed ones 😂
line up in those years were just legendary -
Therapy? Nah sorry man massively overrated...Even with Neil cooper on drums.
Emotion+Truth=Art
That bassist is tearing it up

if Jeremy Irons and Colin Farrel had a baby, it would look just like Henry Rollins :)
CM Punk and Farrell I think
He always reminded me of a buff-up version of Jim Carrey
I was waiting for Henry to turn green, hulk smash
Read this during 2:39 xD
Gonk Smash...
Holy shit! What a show!!
Pure genius right there, ladies and gentleman!
"I make you forget the shitty little rainy country you live in". It's funny becuase it's true. What a performance by Mr Rollings. Hello from London.
So glad Cancel Culture wasn't a thing back then lol
TimBurVlogs Cancel Culture?
@@RitchieRosson clueless idiot
@@metalmike1976 Are you upset that Trump lost?
@@RitchieRosson "ROLLINS"
Man ! Rollins was on fire!😃🤘👍💪💪
Perfect depiction of a narcissistic liar. Masterpiece!
fucking hell what a performance.
rollins is a beast, a force of nature he is HENRY fucking ROLLINS - you can not put him in a niche, class, category or whatever. there will never be another man like him.
the only human being i really look up to.
thanks man!
hey travis thanks for this - great performance from Mr Rollins and not seen this before
Fantastic! The video and recorded version is a great message to women looking for a relationship and wondering why they're getting jerked around (and visa-versa), and this message is probably most artists actual feelings for their audience.
I was here it was amazing ! the intro went on for ages LIAR!!!!!!!
WTF?! how can they cut the ending like that!! 😧 Man, Henry's performance is hilarious 🤣
One of the best word man’s of our time and my generation.
I remember this, when he said all your j rotton records go pale. Wildhearts were the loudest band I've ever seen played that day. Best fest I've seen. RHCP/ Soundgarden/ Rollins, brilliant.
SG played in 1995 as CC had lost his voice completely earlier that month, same reason they didn't perform in Woodstock two weeks earlier.
@@hahndrang I couldn't remember Soundgarden tho they are on the poster, i thought maybe cos i wasnt into them, but they didn't play so all is clear now thanks.
Someone slung a water balloon thing at Rollins and it hit the bassist.

I'm English and purely love this song because it's about a narcissistic liar .
@@missredumbrella - yep, gives me chills for that very reason. Rollins really nailed it in this song.
@@mcdazz2011 he sure did. Peace
Lmao can anyone guess who's trying to sound smart ? To " brave star"
Holy shit. This is the first time I heard this song live and its amazing!
What an amazing band! Rollins is what a hybrid of Ken Shamrock and Eric Cantona would look like!
Now that you say it
WIth a bit of Colin Farrell
Lost in all of the entertaining and clever theatrics, that guitar player is laying down some hellacious funk-rock riffs.
@Father Larsathon
Yeah, it's not far from RHCP!
I was there, in the mosh pit - Rollins was amazing!
I love the made up lyrics. I love how the crowd is just going for it. Thanks for the upload.
masterpiece
Awwwh!!! THANK YOU..Super Respect from New Orleans Louisiana..☆Steph..Opal aka Big Mama ◇ music and Peace
I will never forget the time I first heard this song on the radio when I was sixteen. So powerful and so intense, I became an instant fan.
Thank you Rollins Band for continued therapy. 😘
Who else remembers The Beat? What a brilliant show that was. Why the f*** doesn't any UK tv channels have any music shows anymore aside from Jools Holland which for me is always rather tedious. Thanks for sharing this Travis!
I love how it ends with the British gent pretending he didn't see that.
I know someone who treat me like this.. 😪 But thanks Henry so can i forget him better... The Liar
Yeah, that's the best you can do for yourself, forget the liar.
I’ve listened to this performance on CD for years. It’s weird seeing it live.
2024...it's been 30 years..and Still Liar!!!!!Liar!!!!Liar!!!!
This is beautiful...2020 getcha pull
Dude was cutting so fucking deep. Like I felt that.
Henry is a fucking legend.
Henry's the best.
One of the best versions of this song Ive heard live. I think this is on the deluxe version of Weight,or the German one. I forget
Most intelligent song writing I've heard ever with a kick ass band in the back
Damn, that song never fails to send shivers. It's one of the most important and passionate songs/performances in music history. He really went all out on this one. I've heard some live ones when he didn't really go all out with that raspiness in his voice like it was shredding his vocals. Not this one though.
2020: its all so true
This was amazing...His body was fkn sick too!
That's the best therapy ever 😁
ahhh man..those fuc-ing amazing gigs in the 90's with that crazy crowd......

I've watched this video like 16 times in 4 days
The ending was perfect.
Thank you Henry
So great
This Mix Was Awesome.
This version was on an import of Weight that I bought w extra live tracks. I love this version
Just here for my daily listen.
6:28 LOVE IT SO MUCH❤❤❤ MISS THIS TIME
That was so great. Brilliant!
Me & my brother remember Rollins performance that day & the energy he shot in to the crowd! & it got the Mosh pit fired up!. If you take yourself. seriously your yonna get offended!! "Do you get it yet sucker" Happy Days..
"I'm the one who makes you forget the fact that you'll probably never go anywhere unless you LEAVE"
Freakin Awesome !! Dude.....
2:10 Someone shouts, "Shut up you boring bastard". Classic!

For some reason in our universe, Frank Castle is real only he's a Punk Legend lol 😂
The part where he shouts "you missed f@ckface", that's was at me 😂🤣 I chucked a toilet roll at him, I won't lie I am actually quite proud!
