Henry Rollins Interview

[@MartinHNHS]

I really wanna see Ice T and Henry having a conversation about modern America now. Damn.

[@savedbyhismercyandlove]

You beat Me to it-

[@alemorales4905]

daaaaamn! now that is something that needs to happen asap.

[@bladestormviking]

they both experienced the antics of the LAPD in the 1980's, so i'm sure they have LOTS of things to talk about.

"Keep your blood clean Your body lean And your mind sharp."

[@sajjadhusain4146]

And drug users care for none of that - and often resort to crime to fund their vile habit.

[@gnuPirate]

@@sajjadhusain4146 Normally, I hate to stereotype people based on their opinions and their names -- However, based on your small-minded, narrow-minded insulting opinion where you stereotype other people for their personal problems, I think it is fair to stereotype you in return - let me guess, by any chance, are you religious? My guess, from your opinion and your name, is that you are. For example, to test this : If I said that Allah is a piece of shit, and Allah can suck my dick, and that only moronic robots believe in dumb shit like Allah, and that Mohammad was born from a donkey's cunt, and his mother was a donkey and his father was a dog - would it mean anything to you?

I agree with Henry Rollins. I am Straight Edge and I feel we must stop locking people up for drug related charges! Prison should be for child molesters and violent criminals only.

[@natures_neighbor]

Love listening to this man speak. So much wisdom.

[@franksnewwave]

Henry Rollins, one of the true giants of our time.

[@reginarichards7001]

Thanks Henry for explaining why a lot of music from England is so great.... I was always pondering this.

[@wakegary]

i was never into punk. was a raver. punk kids bullied me. but im now getting into it and, bless my soul, they're nerds! (who work out). henry rollins may just be the coolest celeb we got, folks. I do think he's too smart for Earth and I think he knows that too... but it's important for us regulars to get neckup checkups when we start getting too into Salesforce or Dave & Busters.

[@nonebiz2132]

Rollins has always been a voice against the establishment, he's just getting a lot more succinct about it...

[@AmericanNope]

Yeah he has become way more well rounded and eloquent. That’s one of the beauties of age and perspective.

[@CarinaPrimaBallerina]

I love HR ❤️ He's one of the most sincere people I've known! Let alone his talent at most things!

[@Chris-oj2jr]

Henry can tell truth while giving respect and not spreading hate. He inspires the best in me!!🤓👍

[@danadesjardins3002]

Yes, I thought the exact same thing. I think and speak the exact way Henry does albeit much more abrasive and sharp- something I truly wish I was 'not!' I now take two seconds to think- how would Henry deliver this, and then express myself.

[@wandajeffrey]

This man has the most unique gifts, sharing his knowledge and insights and is a true rebel of our generation.

[@natanunorthodox]

Thank you so much for uploading these videos to watch. They are life savers.

[@WhiteZerox]

This was just uploaded, but it should be noted this interview is like 4 years old.

[@happybenjful]

I assumed that as violent crime starts have been on the rise since covid and blm/antifa

[@gee_emm]

WhiteZero 15:55 He does reference April 2014 so I’m guessing it was recorded then.

[@wakegary]

that's not possible because your comment is 6 years old. Who's to say this comment isn't... 8 years old? I guess time will tell!

[@ralphcantrell3214]

Henry is highly intelligent and he is a great role model. ROLLINS FOR PRESIDENT!!

[@reefk8876]

Brilliant as always

[@nicolavanrhyn1726]

I find this man so incredibly attractive! Seriously! Having something intelligent to say. I could just sit and listen to him for ages! It's a fantasy I have. Sitting on a couch with coffee and Henry and just listen, talk and listen to great music in the background. It would be awesome!

[@richmoreno9938]

Can anyone be more ambitious than Henry? I wish I had that kind of energy. He truly has grabbed life by the balls.

[@baronsaturday9529]

You're alive and you're healthy? Then you can grab life by the balls too man, just go for it, and never look back!

[@andrewsmart2949]

always good to see someone telling it like it is

[@dragasan]

Thanks Stephen. Thanks Henry. I'm 60 now and I'm not sure how I'll feel when I'm retired or if I should really retire at all. It's a strange time, so I appreciate the insight.

[@Betrayerslayer]

Damaged fucking changed me. Also this man is the reason I run a lable. I dont agree w everything he says, but Im grateful.

[@rickdalton6272]

Such a great interview. I've always appreciated Henry's truth. This needs way more views!!!

[@ericjohn8466]

He said it best on Rogan. Prisons, rehabs and the military ALWAYS need people

Yeah... without John Peel we would still be listening to bands like Duran Duran..

Couldn't agree more. I remember staying awake with my cassette radio on standby, waiting for the new Fall, Joy Division or Bhundu Boys release. Great days.

Yeah, sometimes, he goes, "side-ways", but, based on "hard-one", experience, and, "artistic expression" you, cannot, dis-agree, with that !!!

[@chefmark1751]

The big difference between the US and Britain has less to do with artistic contribution, more to do with how often the society as a whole gets it right when it comes to honoring its national treasures. America overlooks its best, like Henry Rollins.

[@thisdyingsoul76]

I have to say that Henry is one intelligent guy. He sees a perspective on many things that not many people already see; and has solid reasoning behind his views that keeps him from sounding like a crackpot conspiracy theorist. People have a history of labelling these guys who come from the punk rock scene and heavy metal scene as misfits and brain dead junkies who are mad at the world for no particular reason. If you take the time to listen to these guys, either interviews, reading their lyrics, their opinions on social/political issues, etc; you begin to see that a lot of them really do have a good head on their shoulders and know what they’re talking about. They might be misfits and angry at the world; but there is a reason for it. Sometimes you just need to dig into their story to see what’s up instead of basing opinions on what you see on the surface.

[@AxeMan808]

Yeah, he's a smart mfer. He just kinda ... knows he's right? Like he doesn't leave a lot of room for back & forth unless you agree already.

[@thisdyingsoul76]

AxeMan808 imagine if he ran for Governor or President ... I feel sorry for whoever runs against him during the debates. He’d tear them all to shreds and leave the question so completely answered that he’d even present his opponents point of view before it was delivered and explain why it’s logic is flawed. Not that I think he’d bullshit anyone, but I suspect he’d deliver a line of BS with so much confidence that even the experts in the topic would be doubting themselves. lol

As an ex-addict, I tried not only every recreational drug there was I was addicted to opiates and took cocaine constantly and alcohol is just as dangerous a drug as heroin or cocaine, so heroin and cocaine being illegal and alcohol being legal is absurd to me. Also don't believe what people say I know lots of people that can take cocaine or heroin once and a while and never get addicted. Even heroin, what gets people addicted to heroin is taking it to frequently and then you have to take it to fight withdrawals but alcohol is no different, what makes you a serious alcoholic is drinking to not have to handle a hangover.
