Henry gets better with age, like a fine wine

[@chillingguy8386]

I mean truthfully his older spoken word was better , imo

[@samuelhumphrey5908]

So true. It's taken me many years to really appreciate one of the great bold gentlemen of our time

Is it only me or would People not give there left Leg to see Henry perform in a Band again?.. Even if it was just once for one song.. I enjoy watching and listening to him.. He has a Fantisic point of view on everything.. I often find myself asking, "What would Henry do or Say" before I react to things.. Pretty weird eh?

[@andrewhyogo]

I was making dinner last night, and couldn`t decide between beans on toast and eggs on toast. I asked myself, `what would Henry do?`, and then it came to me, he`d have both.

[@Pluralofvinylisvinyls]

@@andrewhyogo Beans on toast? Someone lives in the UK

[@omenscreamingraven3956]

If not hear him perform again can I would love to meet him at least and get him to sign a book of mine..

[@samuelhumphrey5908]

One of his best. Henry is always great to listen to (for me not musically but spoken word). I love punk music and he sort of embodies it in great stories which I have really come to appreciate. When I have a hangover especially I turn to Rollins and pretty soon I get my strength and sense of humour back on track. Great video. Thankyou Mesa.

[@John-bs7xh]

Right on henry

[@denisegrandgenett6270]

I grew up near the Surf ballroom, able to touch any artist that played. I was very Lucky.

[@mlwsf]

This is ridiculously quiet. I really want to hear. Oh, it looks like it may be correcting.

[@CharlieMessing]

1:25 it gets louder

[@Pluralofvinylisvinyls]

I notice a few of his spoken word shows starts out quiet and then changes. Maybe the sound guy adjusts it?

[@altmilan]

Good to see this, though I think by Rollins' own admission (elsewhere; I'd have to dig it up) he should no longer be called a "musician".

[@itsMrNoble]

I don’t think he’d ever of called himself a musician. He’s very self deprecating about his abilities.

[@FullPowerMasteryWithRa]

LMAO! 43:00 Mom spends more time with your favorite bands than you do! :D

[@edoxtator1238]

This is exactly why I don’t go to arena shows or festivals. The music is so distant.

[@brucewilliams2106]

Louie's Rock City. I was there. never sweat so much in my life. I remember being at the front and staring up at Joey and I was able to actually see his eyeballs behind his glasses for the first time ever. it was weird.

[@aaronsaunders6974]

Did Keith Morris sleep on your floor 2? C. J was better than D.K.

SOA was a great band, Hank

[@timothyhunter4724]

The cramps!

[@skellzwife8528]

Wow. Never knew much about Ian, except from seeing his band live in 1993 or 1994. Amazing show. But hearing about this side of him... wow. Thanks, Henry.

Punk and skateboarding saved me

[@claudiocruzat8777]

Hey Henry, Now there's a war.. in Ucraine, we had a pandemic..(or having) Nothing 's changed. This world gets sweeter each day. I love 2018 in a few ways... really.

I was at one of those European rock shows. I saw Henry live and I cared. It was a great show!

[@schutube8666]

This was an amazing night!

Hell yes, Clutch Cargo's!!! I've been there a million times! Two things, though: 1) It was in Pontiac, Michigan. 2) (I just gave it away) It's permanently closed :'( Awesome venue, though!

[@sausagefestcity5078]

Liz. Clutch Cargos was in Detroit originally not Pontiac... Black Flag played there 6/17/82. Lot's of legendary bands played there!

[@mjrydsfast]

@ToddMar St. Andrew's Hall, correct? I attended a few shows there as well. 1980s. The Latin Quarter was always my favorite as well as Harpo's.

[@sausagefestcity5078]

@@mjrydsfast I'm 48 so I was too young to have went to Clutch Cargos in Detroit. Of course I've been to The one on Pontiac. Been to St. Andrews ...saw Social Distortion in 1989 there.

Aw, you are brilliant! I hope you can learn to love and give up control. "Strength in Vulnerability", Brené Brown 🙏♥️ 0-8 yrs😔

[@Keith-b3l7r]

My parents have a story about booing pain in the ass cokehead era Ozzy off stage when he was with Sabbath. I'm sure situations like that are where Ozzy's insecurity with people liking him come from. I fucking love Sabbath, but I heard he was being very pansy rockstar that day.

Thank you

[@paulsportal1720]

Awesome.

[@troesler81]

Never was a punk fan but I won't miss any of Henry's movies or spoken word programs.

[@swampshack1018]

Do you don’t like punk, and you don’t like his movies or his spoken word? Why are you even watching the video

Solve all the world's problems with regurgitated stories and a devo record....brilliant.

[@walteredstates]

...so you're misunderstanding and simplifying the point he makes about how immensely valuable personal involvement in culture is...to justify your own cynicism and disempowerment, and how you've given up ? Or is it that you have the better solution for the problem, but right now are just waiting for folks to come to you , and ask you to give it to them?

Couldn't stand the fucking mic feedback. Who the hell was running sound? What a waste of a potentially-good show. Had to shut it down due to the damn feedback.

[@EmilyKresl]

It's corrected within a couple minutes

love the small detail: he roll up the mic cord around his fist, usefull , if you need to hit someone and keep controll of the mic

Herny thinks the United Snakes of Hypocrisy is just great. Shows his lack of cerebral dexterity.
