Henry's life is amazing...a work in progress, from humble beginnings and a pissed off anarchist, hate the world attitude, to a business man and an activist and educator. You gotta respect the man's tenacity.
I don't get it, Bryce, do you like him or think he's phoney? I guess it doesn't matter any which way. The trouble with 'fame' are the criticisms complete strangers will have of you
I met Henry , in 2000. I could go the way of saying "he's an asshole..." too, but I don't think that's it. I like what JamesTKirkCobain up above said. I think that's part of it. Henry has said it a million tmes in the past, he has no taste for fan adulation and I say kudos to him. He is a man not ruled by pretense. He means what he says and says what he means. I can see where you'd think he's an asshole, but I think Henry is a man worthy of a closer look, unlike so many fakes out there.
Gene Lattanzi He is a true inspiration in a time where every young person seems to want the pseudo fame and riches that reality tv stars like the Kardashians have aspired to. He is real.
@@stephania4940 I almost felt he was Enlightened or ahead of his time while watching his video from the 80s called "Henry Rollins interview New Mexico" .he basically talked about how fake and money hungry people (famous bands) are.
God was he an unsatisfied, angry soul in those days. It's good that he mellowed out a bit. His spoken word performances are great. Still full of energy.
Yeah, I got that impression of him too, he's matured and looks more happy these days to be honest. Good for Henry he looks like a hardworking nice guy after all.
The best thing about this is that I went into this not expecting much and was I wrong, man. Henry Rollins is such an interesting guy. I'll definitely be checking out his solo stuff.
This interview is so cool! Henry tells it as he sees it. Plain and simple. Wish more people would be as honest and straightforward. Also love his credo: You got so much time on the planet, What are u gonna do with your time...?

Henry Rollins comes off as a man where nothing phases him anymore. Hell, this guy witness his friend being shot. I had a friend die of leukemia but not being murdered. I know what it’s like to lose a friend and my perspective on life has changed quite a lot. If you’re gonna do something, do it otherwise you’re just wasting your own breath and what little time you have. We can learn a lot from people like Henry Rollins.
This is a male version of me lol For real. Henry Rollins' books helped me get thru the pandemic to help me embrace my independence and see people for who they really are. I only have a few friends, I'm childless by choice, and I live alone. I prefer it that way. I need time to do my own thing, ya know?
To me he is a guy ruled by fear and he would probably be the first to admit to that. There is a lot of people like that. It's the reason why he never married and why he constantly works. Relax is not in this guys vocabulary. I think he is incredibly smart but what happens in an abusive upbringing is the brain forms not quite right, and it is incredibly hard if not impossible to do so.
You gotta remember, too, that Henry wasn’t brought up from an affluent background. Guy worked his entire adult life in dead-end service industry jobs. He didn’t have the luxury of music producer family members or wealthy parents who could keep throwing money at his passion products until they finally caught fire. Even now that he can safely retire financially solvent for the rest of his life, he still makes quips about how often he puts himself out for speaking events, film roles, etc. because a paycheck is a paycheck. I think a lot of that work ethic he puts out, not just in the industry but in his daily life (staying fit, well-read, etc.) spawns from the realization that someone in his position only has to do just enough wrong to fall from grace. You have to stay sharp and relevant because if you leave yourself out to rust then that’s that.
One of my biggest dreams is what Rollins does. To have a large workload, but have the workload be what I love. Being constantly busy and being in good shape. Regardless if I'm with someone.
musicisbrilliant Which was so stupid, as if everyone has the luxury of time to go get skinny. Was fantastically stupid and fortunately he grew the fuck up since.
musicisbrilliant Lol, no one needs to be fat, but it's not exactly like anyone WANTS to. And it's not always the case that people, particularly women, get fat because they're constantly shoving shit in their face. It's stress, genes and lack of quality time. That shit will pile on you and overwhelm you and many people simply don't have the time to do anything about it.
He changed a lot and seems more social these days. maybe it's because of the spoken word, ageing, and everything he does and soesn't do.. Love to watch his inspiring peptalks now and then when I need a good kick in the butt!
Great music, both Black Flag & Rollins band. He comes out with some great quotes. Cuts the fat off, puts it in a nutshell. Comes across as maybe rude, maybe uncaring. The guy may seem arrogant. But doesn't really care too much what you think. Would love for him to reform the Rollins Band. Saw them 92 on The end Of Silence at Newcastle Riverside. while G & R were playing Gateshead stadium, Hell I missed Soundgarden, wasn't bothered abour Faith No More, but at least I got to see The Beastie Boys. Sim Cain came out and talked to the crowd afterwards. I really would like to think that he reforms the rollins Band for one more album
Rollins Is the man (although he probably wouldn't agree lol). I can identify with both younger Henry Rollins (then) and now. I used to be very much like that: awake but distant from most people, driven & full of energy, but most of all an outsider who was always on the outside looking in.
itheuser First (Young) men just want role models and men they find inspiring. I want the same, as a young woman-anywho, Rollins is my biggest inspiration at the moment.
Man it's crazy how he said his ADHD medication didn't help him. ADHD meds (Adderall) have been a godsend for me. They keep me skinny and help me concentrate. Don't see how anyone could hate that.
Simonne you don’t feel any negatives to the meds? And I think it’s very different for boys medicated with Ritalin from a worryingly young age when they just needed more attention.
Boys don’t need Ritalin, they need the freedom to actually be boys. I don’t mean to sound condescending at all and it’s great that your medication has worked out well for you. Personally as a grown man I realized that all of the people who were so called looking out for my best interest by medicating me were simply trying to figure out how to deal with me.
I appreciate ADHD medication now because I’m mature and actually see it as a benefit to school and my job. As a kid I hated it because I was too young to be that focused on something. Doctors also give children a HIGH ass dose of medication because they think that the kids have a high tolerance for it when really…. They are just fucking kids lol. Right now I’m taking 30 mg of vyvanse but took 2 30 mg of Ritalin as a kid, so imagine how that felt especially for a young boy.
@@4dhumaninstrumentality789“maaaaan, I’m not gonna let you poison me! I threw it on the GROOOOUND!” You think you sound like Henry Rollins, but you sound like the Throw it On the Ground guy.
I want to just add that, even though his distaste is for adulation, I think he really and truly appreciates the crowds that see him on any given night.
James Miller idk maybe it does make sense if you have a little knowledge. Or maybe I'm just being crazy. Or maybe intj means introverted intuitive thinking and judging. Idk, a quick google search could answer that for you really quick. But I guess you want all your answers spoon fed from me. Well, I can't feed you forever and gift wrap everything I say so that its effortless for you to understand, so learn to find out simple things on your own. Google is great for that. Is that coherent enough for you?
Young people today would call 95% of the musicians of the 90's "edgelords". It's a term made up by a generation that is completely generic and watered down, who have no edge, no fire, no passion for anything. It's a completely alien concept for someone like me....young people with no energy. Just cool guy posturing or something.
nah he just knows what he hates, he's obviously an extreme introvert but damn society can be pretty fucking stupid so i dont really blame him. idiots everywhere
I smoke and drink(craft beer for the most) but I really don’t care to do it with other people. I understand exactly what he’s saying. It brings out the worst in a lot of people.
When i feel depressed i watch this, honestly, it gave me life
Dude honestly...... I’ve been doing the same with this video for a few yrs now.
@Little Leaf hey Big leaf, give a more in depth explanation of what you just said. Lol please.
Been watching this interview for about 10 yrs. for the same reason. I don’t know why it resonates, but it does.
Same
Same here. ❤
Henry's life is amazing...a work in progress, from humble beginnings and a pissed off anarchist, hate the world attitude, to a business man and an activist and educator. You gotta respect the man's tenacity.
And no in 2021, he's still at and it evolving. The dude will die working
It impressed upon me a way to have self confidence being a punk rawker or whatever...I know about that teeth grinding paranoia of punk rawka
"I don't care how you are. If you're alive enough to send the fax...that's all we need."
Ayman A he’s been through a lot. I think he’s very compassionate though.
I don't get it, Bryce, do you like him or think he's phoney? I guess it doesn't matter any which way. The trouble with 'fame' are the criticisms complete strangers will have of you
My mentality when I'm at work. As long as they're alive enough to direct deposit that check into my bank account...that's all I need.
Wilson Martin: He should save that for his epitaph.
Bryce Thibodeaux okay he has one friend and he’s been his best friend since he was a young man.
God damn the high pitched, constant ring in the audio.
Well worth suffering the ring.
90's, baby!
“What doesn’t interest me is neurotic boys complaining about their girlfriends “ Amen yup, that’s sum it up !
He was actually ridiculously good looking - could have been a model.

God was he an unsatisfied, angry soul in those days. It's good that he mellowed out a bit. His spoken word performances are great. Still full of energy.
It's very interesting to watch his evolution over the years through videos like these. How he's changed and evolved over the years.
Yeah, I got that impression of him too, he's matured and looks more happy these days to be honest. Good for Henry he looks like a hardworking nice guy after all.
he lived through alot of violence
I’m in complete awe of him.
Traveling to all those countries gave him more empathy because he met so many nice people living in warzones and extremely poor countries

We need another reunion with Chirst Haskett, Sim Cain and Melvin Gibbs. To me this combination of guys put out the best music.

Truly going to strive to be as honest as Mr. Rollins is.
Great band live.
At the end of the day. He's very business like...just like the folks
Yep, and he realizes it. But he's working on his own thing, not filing papers away for some insurance company 60 hours a week.

He is an ENTJ. He is all about being productive and optimizing every aspect of his life, rather than pursuing a grand vision.
