Henry Rollins Q&A - Henry Answers Questions About The Misfits and Chuck Biscuits

[@GilbertSyndrome]

Thank you to whoever asked him about the Misfits and Chuck Biscuits. Two very amazing subjects! Seen Hank 4 times and only had the privilege of hearing him talk about the Misfits once. Never heard him talk about Chuck before, and I wish I could sit around all day and listen to stories about him.

[@real_dirtbikemichigan]

I asked him about The Misfits and Chuck Biscuits. I was curious if he knew what Chuck is up to because of the fake story in 2009 about his death and rumors that he's working for Costco now.

[@ericjohn8466]

DOA, Circle Jerks, SD Chuck is a legend.

[@neilgrocock7979]

I asked Eerie Von about Chuck a few months back, here is Eeries response:- Hey Neil, just got your message. It was in a Spam folder. Chuck retired from the business, and is working a straight 9-5 job. I hear from him once in a while, but I suspect he doesn't have much use in his Life for his old band mates. Take care. All the Best.

[@talan4831]

Earl Liberty was talking about Chuck in My Career as a Jerk about Chuck had a take it or leave it attitude about being in bands and the music scene in general. I wish Chuck never left. He's one of the GOATs. Some of the Circle Jerks performances when he and Earl were in the lineup were insane.

[@patricksemple5690]

We Bite has always been my FAV FITS tune, had no idea he was on that! Can't believe the serendipity of these stories

[@BrockAwesome]

Uncle Henry is telling stories about the 80's again... Seriously tho I love hearing him talk.

[@Tom_Van_Zandt]

I've never really listened to Black Flag, but I love the Misfits and Danzig and I agree, Chuck Biscuits was on another level as a drummer. I was disappointed when I was 18 and finally got to see Danzig when he was promoting his 4th album and Chuck had already been fired.

[@richardrobbins387]

First tour 88-89 small venue (teeny tiny actually) Was also 18 at the time. It was phenomenal!!! The stage was just about knee high and I was about 5 or 6 feet from the band. Chuck was great, stood the whole show of course.

[@Tom_Van_Zandt]

@@richardrobbins387 I used to wonder if he stood during live shows. When they would show him in some of the old Danzig videos he would usually be standing. It seems so unnecessarily awkward to play that way. lol

[@laurametheny1008]

​@@Tom_Van_Zandt I get it tho. Worked in factories for almost 30 yrs. Most of that time I stood. When I earned team leader I asked for a standing desk too. I hated sitting at work. Standing gave me more control over my machines and production. And I had to do a lot of running around helping others and jumping in and out of forklifts and such. But I gotta say I'm paying now. I had to have surgery on my feet and my back and knees and arms are always hurting. It's best to alternate because sitting is REALLY bad for your insides. Had to learn the hard way. I never listened to much Black Flag. Henry could really be unhinged lol. My fave is Danzig the band. First 4 albums. I wish I could go see them, but I also wish it could be the OG lineup too. Nothing like Glenn and Eerie and John and Chuck. Have a good one!🤘🏼🖤☠️🏴

[@jmays73]

Thanks, worked for Henry in the late 90's at club, treated all of us like a gentleman .

[@laurametheny1008]

This is so crazy cool! I just watched He Never Died with Henry in it. Very weird movie. I never knew Biscuits was in Black Flag. I missed all this when it was happening sadly. Henry is so much more mellow now. I love the stories. Thank you! I love Danzig too.🙏🏼🤘🏼🖤☠️

[@ericjohn8466]

Doyle (Paul) and Jerry Caifas Dad owned a machine shop where the boys worked when not touring. As a matter of fact theres quite a few guitars Doyle has that he made himself out of graphite. So it isnt a surprise that the Caifas opened their home up to Black Flag.

[@coryflintoff9872]

The recording he is referencing is the EVILIVE record. Terrible quality but awesome for the Henry easter egg. For a long time after the singer of my band would yell HENRY FROM BLACK FLAG and then you start playing We Are 138. Good times!

[@beauzer36]

Sometime in 1996 I saw an advertisement Chuck had placed in Seattle. 'Heavy rock drummer looking for professional working band - Played with Danzig, Black Flag, DOA, Circle Jerks' - it was much longer but that was the jist of it. Looking back, there was no band around here he would have been able to join that would have made sense. I guess he gave up the band search and quit drumming is what i heard. I got to see him play on Danzig's second album tour at least. Theres I believe only one show filmed of him playing with Black Flag, I highly recommend giving it a watch.

[@Ramirezoid]

i heard about this on the no dogs in space series on the misfits, cool to hear it directly from henry

[@canadairishguy]

Chuck Biscuits comes from a talented family. His brother Dimwit also played for DOA. He preceded Chuck in another band with Joey Shithead. Dimwit also saw a great feature as drummer in a band The Four Horsemen. Then tragically died from overdose a few years later. Charles and Ken Montgomery were/are great drummers.

Dude in the toque nodding like he knows everything Henry is saying

[@Jasonsaunders-yy9fx]

I'd pay good money for a an interview with chuck in the 21st century

Id want to know what cereal he is eating these days. Wonder if he's still on the frankenberry.

Moving south has mellowed Henry. Its a nice change

[@warriorv9359]

Coolass story

[@palmerlp]

Would the misfits really only play on Halloween? He says that in “Get In the Van” too but I’ve never been able to confirm it lol

[@KennyRider137]

Doyle was in high school. So they only toured in the summer and did one off shows on weekends. Also, I don't consider the Misfits to have ever congealed as a band which is why Glenn moved on.

[@HorrorKidd88]

JErry and Doyle still worked in the their fathers machine shop in the early days. The Misfits touring was done around a working schedule they worked out with their father.

[@KennyRider137]

Hank, dude, I had some incredible hand drawn cartoons of Robo by Doyle I was hoping to give you at a spoken word event in Edinboro, PA in the 90's. But you said you didn't want zine publishers coming up to you and you hated dudes with goatees. Since I fit your description I left without talking to you.

[@Roybatty066]

I'm sorry Henry broke your heart, but dude, get over it.

[@eddiewramos]

How did I miss Henry coming back to Michigan!

Jerry was/is the biggest rock star there ever was.

[@mikeyfn-a6684]

A shame he didn't mention Chuck also playing for Social Distortion on their fantastic 'White Light,White Heat, White Trash' album... seriously bout over 90 killer with 10% filler.

[@Knucky_Sammich]

"When the Angels Sing" is probably my favorite Social D song. And Chuck looks bad-ass drumming in that video.

[@mikeyfn-a6684]

@@Knucky_Sammich Serious song right there 👌

[@robertsunday8445]

Rollins is the historian of those early days in the scene

[@christianvance2486]

How did you take over from ron rays? How did you become the lead singer for black flag over ron?

[@afrolund80]

Well, he finally did it. He finally got rid of everyone else and made the entire show about himself. I don't understand why people pay for this stuff. I used to get this kind of story telling every weekend. Every party has a narcissist holding court with hyperbolic stories.

[@GyntherMeyer]

He was replying to questions. If people ask Henry about himself what's he gonna do? Tell 'em to piss off and not ask him about himself?

[@bmmaaate]

He's an interesting speaker. What else is he gonna do. The Rollins Band were neither good nor successful.

[@ricks.1779]

Rollins is like the David Lee Roth of punk rock... In other words, AWESOME!

[@mmmCrunchy]

Fun, obscure fact: David Lee Roth was apparently a fan of hardcore punk back in the day. First, I heard Rollins tell a story about seeing Roth at an art gallery and Roth actually recognized him as the singer of Black Flag. Years later, I see a post from someone who used to tend bar at a punk rock venue, and he remembered seeing Roth bring dates there to see bands, and the dates often ended up not being into it and leaving while Dave stayed the whole show.

[@rega5950]

Can someone ask him why he sold the Rollins band mailing list to Marlboro in the early '90s? I received mail from them and his publishing company for several years after signing his mailing list on tour. After a while that mail stopped coming but Marlboro ads and swag replaced it. How do I know it was him? Besides the fact that it's his name and birth date, my handwriting must have been sloppy at the show so they mailed to a name that wasn't mine exactly and the only other mail I've ever gotten to that name was from Marlboro. What a sellout..

[@jameshitt3263]

Interesting catch. Henry is a weird dude.
