you can just listen to this man and be completely engaged, henry rollins is such a genuine badass

[@racefaceec90]

henry rollins is one person i would love to meet and just sit down and talk with.have a lot of respect for him and his views.

[@bozidarkukavica5058]

Rollins is the worst attention whore, he's fucking lame bruh

[@spinflux]

He is relatable.

[@stevedevice1866]

He's awkward and self conscious when you speak to him ob on one, he doesn't like people and doesn't want to be cornered by you and your boring chit chat. I have run into him dozens of times for work and I just nod and he nods. He doesn't want you to lick his bum, it makes him run away. He is dealing with mental illness.

[@slartybartfast4213]

For those who don't know Australia has great punk rock bands like he said The Mark of Cain, The Hard-Ons, Mass Appeal, The Beasts of Bourbon, Kim Salmon & the Surrealists, The Saints, Celibate Rifles, Radio Birdmen, Lubricated Goat, The Scientists, the alot more but I can't remember right now.

[@OttoMack1]

Mark of Cain, produced by Rollins...LMA, Degenerate Boy...top songs, top band. I've seen most of the bands you mentioned at the tote or the espy. You must be my vintage, if I'm wrong I'd far rather be happy than right any day. Jesus, lubricated goat on stage sans clothes - got on RAGE too.

[@dyr234]

and alot of awesome others like tumbleweed, zambian goat herders, magic dirt, brother brick, powder monkeys, hoss, grinspoon, spiderbait, the superjesus, silverchair, buffalo, fort, proton energy pills, masters apprentice, winnebago deal, asteroid b-612

[@donnix1192]

The Living End were a great Australian band, three piece rockabilly/punk outfit, killer live saw them with The Offspring in 1999.

[@djsusan00]

Respect to Henry for turning out such a charismatic and humble human being with having a father like his. He's the epitome of punk.my dad is the total opposite.. I'm giving him a bear hug tomorrow.

Its comforting to listen to Henry. Thankful.

[@littlejohnnyturtle8770]

Wow! What a contribution she made!

[@imeqsmd]

Thank god for Henry. Don’t always agree with all of his views but he’s always willing and able to fully backup every one of them. Full respect to the man and his utterly brilliant musical legacy ❤

[@Seishi41]

How awesome to see Rollins and Simon Amstell on the same show. Very few people can get more sarky than the Amstell.

[@swapsplat]

Simon and Henry would be a great comedy duo.

[@apsarasangreal84]

I met Henry at OSU in 1998. After the show, he signed my bestfriend's jeans- -- she framed them. He signed my left breast. We took photos & he gave autographs. Now, 20+ years later, I still have the biggest crush on him. He hasn't aged a day! He is so smart!!

[@TheLeatheryman]

Usually the hecklers are in the audience

[@nomadben]

Henry is such a great dude.

[@voulafisentzidis8830]

Outside of Noam Chomsky, Henry Rollins is the first amazing American I've heard with such openness towards the world who accepts his own country is not perfect. Wonderful.

[@coolkid9967]

Lol

[@finbarlyons4042]

I love Henry so much

[@spankiemcnaught]

If only they'd also shown the part when Bindi Irwin comes out to be interviewed. BEST EVER. Rollins' reactions to her are incredible. P.S To all of you losing yer shit over the 'soft cock' comment, it was made in jest. That's what Australian's do to people they like.

[@lkuzmanov]

gotta love the transformation Henry goes through after she called him a softcock. gathered himself excellently, though!

[@leestooge]

Lyuben Kuzmanov, she calls Simon a softcock. Listen to what they say immediately afterwards.

[@darinbarba3069]

You'd never tell he's a millionair.

[@sweetwillyp]

I absolutely love the Direct humor aggressiveness of the Australian people I have met. I really liked the quiet interviewer that called him a “soft cock” You could tell Henry was looking for a good comeback but decided to go with Self Depreciation which in that case was the best remedy for A Aussie trying to take ya down a few notches

[@lordmonty9421]

I'm surprised "Lesbian Harry Potter" didn't come immediately to mind.

#JoeStrummer RIP. Thank you #HenryRollins for reminding me how amazing #TheClash were. I love #Blackflag. I saw #Tool open for #Rollinsband circa 1992 #Cottonclub #Atlanta 1992. That was one of the greatest shows I’ve ever seen.

[@andrewinnes848]

6:30 host asks him to tell the story that he`s probably told more than any other story.

[@Stephen-N]

I do love this man, he used to be such a prick (still kind of is) but that's what makes him, him! He has very been afraid to speak his mind which at times isn't appropriate but you know he's a great man because of what he does for other people

[@tazmon122]

it's been just under 10yrs since this interview, Bindi is married with her first kid. i feel ancient.

Ahhhh, he's such a cool guy.

I love Henry...and his "looking at their pagers" reference (I come from the pager era as well lol)....as for everyone getting upset on Henry's behalf regarding the soft-cock phrase...chill out, its a joke and Henry made one back - no need to start getting all snowflaky haha

i just saw the Miller interview where he said he was none of those things the host called him. and his tales of his youth took a 180degree turn too. he is a liar in one of them. He even has that song.... "i am a liar"

[@ODPTV1]

his voice slips back into his 20s voice it's scary.

[@rhythmicginger]

Thanks :)

[@SueTube7]

Was this a comedy exchange where Simon Amstell went to Australia & then Adam Hills came to the UK? Here's hoping for future "Last Leg" guest Henry Rollins, hee hee...

[@jonross4409]

Folks, I'm pretty sure the woman who called him a "softcock" was being sarcastic.

[@wanderingsoul6152]

Sure thing. Only the woman was disguised as guy in a mockery, clown-like way. And her joke like was so lame and flat! Kind of German, blunt, and sad clown... Funny is originated by intellect and has to necessarily come out your mouth, not your attire... Rollins is funny during the interview when it comes to it. She ain't funny. Only her attire is an attempt of funny... Huuge difference.

[@brandocalrissian3294]

She was not. She's a hateful bigot member of the alphabet mafia.

[@gpdcjf102]

Every interview Henry mentions his Dad's very brilliant, but stern and racist outlook on life, and it makes me wonder, did he ever talk to his dad to find out what his GRANDFATHER must have been like to turn his dad into that?

Fucking gorgeous!

You can clearly feel how Hannah Gadsby - the chick whom everyone mistakes for a bloke - is starring daggers at Henry. She hates him for being the apex of masculinity. She obviously doesn't know Henry's the most genuinely liberal and (gay)friendly man on the planet. He's best friends with RuPaul. Just goes to show she's only accepting of herself but not others. And Henry's made a tonne of amazing standup specials. She's done none.

[@jamesadcock5235]

It's ironic that her delivery on Nannette was sometimes akin to something from Lifetime or The End of Silence.

[@burningmisery]

@@jaimmerogers4383 This was not meant to belittle her experiences & struggles she mentioned in Nanette, but I didn't think it was funny. It was sad and almost like I'm also at fault for her troubles with dumb people. Henry's crazy stories make you think AND laugh. Like a new age George Carlin.

[@owenedwards9807]

Literally didn't say a word in the segment, she was respectful and listened intently. Who cares if she even does disagree with his views, stop placing words in someone else's mouth.

[@burningmisery]

@@owenedwards9807 Trust me, no one's trying to put anything in her mouth. But myb you're right. Myb I'm a tad bit chauvinistic. But maybe it's because that's how she labels anyone cis gendered around her in her special. Worst "comedianne" ever.
