Rollins Band - Live Belfort Festival 06.07.97

[@davidgreen1504]

I think this was the best line up of musicians for this group.saw this several times & each time was exceptionally good👊🍺🍺🍺

[@dowens3781]

He only changed one band member from the late 80's until 2000 - the bassist.

[@unkind78]

@@dowens3781 and then he changed everyone

[@rimaradhia9808]

Saw them in switzerland ...the most intense live show ever seen in 30 years of concert

[@GringoLoco1980]

This song is so powerful to me. Each member has their place in this band. Sim and Melvin are just badass. Chris just doing his melodic thing. Henry just telling it like it is. I miss this stuff.

[@alexfeatherstone8854]

Saw this version of Rollins Band several times back in the day, always loved them. I wish they would have stayed together long enough to make a few more records.

[@shawnbruce6934]

I Did Too. These Shows Were Awesome.

[@BlackNumber0ne]

Actually I have asked Henry that question after a Spoken Wird performance back in the 2010's I think. He told me they were doing rehearsals with this line-up, but Henry wasn't satisified 100% with the outcome. A few percentages were missing, enough to say no, I won't do it again with ya. That's vintage Henry. 100% or nothing

[@TheSHACKTRACKS]

Henry stands like a person in the character selection stat menu in tony hawK games

[@generyan4043]

Haha that is perfect!

[@wildfoottv3217]

One of his songs is on Tony hawk pro skater

[@gdogg3]

Funny enough, he is a video game character in Def Jam FIght for NY!

[@ozzyozcorn]

He voiced mace Griffin the game lol

[@shawnbruce6934]

LOL.

[@zeppelinfan82]

Awesome set list. I remember buying this album on tape and wearing it out in 1996. Love Come in and Burn.

[@davidgreen1504]

Rollins Band in full effect, Henry is just a legend. I miss these guys on stage, nowadays music pretty much sucks. No one comes even close to the intensity this band has left on stage

[@CirclingtheFringes]

Of course they were awesome, but good music isnt dead. Its still right there, but its not on the regular channels.

[@BlackNumber0ne]

@@CirclingtheFringes there's no band like this around anymore, not even remotely

[@CirclingtheFringes]

@@BlackNumber0ne I go the clubs frequently to watch bands. Rollins is a charismatic man, but there are plenty of good bands. Unless of course if you are looking for a copy. You wont find that, why would you even want to.

I did feel like shit about myself about 10 minutes ago, now I feel indestructible!!!! Thks Henry

[@rocknroller81]

Same here!!

[@Robert-gr7ip]

Melvin Gibbs on bass - damn!!

[@satyrosphilbrucato9140]

Gibbs needs to be on more Greatest Bass Player lists.

[@dowens3781]

He's good, but I prefer his first bassist Andrew Weiss.

[@fatbackfunk]

Melvin is an absolute legend and of course, a phenomenal musician. And not to mention, a Decoding Society alum, nuff said!

[@CirclingtheFringes]

25 -30 years ago when his best albums were out. Cant believe time went so fast...

[@BlackNumber0ne]

You were there enjoying and witnessing it, that's all that counts. Aren't it comforting ? :)

[@JayZombie1216]

End of Silence is in my top 10 favorite records ever. I like Come in and Burn too. Weight is good. But EOS was something special, man. His lyrical peak. The band was on fucking fire.

[@CirclingtheFringes]

@@JayZombie1216 Agreed, but man, Melvin Gibbs on bass is something special.

[@egrrl4]

I love him😍🔥 His blunt honesty is refreshing ❤️

[@Austinlivin]

Outstanding, lucky to have caught a show by both versions of the band. I won't be offended if Henry decides one day to throw down a Rollins Band gig out of the blue vs retiring forever from singing.

[@MikeBurkard]

Gibbs rocking the bass!

[@ericbourreil2223]

I was here . 25 au compteur . Que du lourd cette année là aux Eurock 🤘. Gracias .

Having a rough period? Stick on some Rollins band and they’ll put you back on track right away. Life is strange!

[@SergeCaelers]

Henry owns the stage.

[@grizzlywhisker]

Henry Rollins is always riding an invisible surfboard.

[@FuellingObsession]

I think Henry is trying to save his voice here. He's not singing as deep as usual.

[@TheStorehouseOfMemories]

Yeah, you're right

[@satyrosphilbrucato9140]

He talks about that on his album Think Tank, on the track "No One is Fax-Exempt." Hank had destroyed his throat so badly that he was in constant pain and risked losing his voice entirely. Thus, he had to re-learn his vocal technique.

[@dowens3781]

@@satyrosphilbrucato9140 He doesn't really have a vocal technique - he's a hardcore punk singer.

[@satyrosphilbrucato9140]

@@dowens3781 He had to learn because of the damage he'd inflicted upon his throat. Again, Hank talked about this in his spoken-word piece "No One is Fax-Exempt," from his album Think Tank.

[@dowens3781]

@@satyrosphilbrucato9140 Never knew that. When did he damage his vocal chords - in his Black Flag days?

[@satyrosphilbrucato9140]

Man, Gibbs is tearing it up here and the cameras barely show him at all. Seriously, were they THAT confounded by a Black guy playing heavy rock?

[@dowens3781]

I don't think it was intentional.

[@satyrosphilbrucato9140]

@Joey C I know. I'm a bass player. :D

[@dowens3781]

@Joey C Yeah, I'd say it was more of a bass thing than a race thing.

15:00 cool but why when he starts to sing the guitarist starts to make noise

Folk like Henry Rollins or GenesisPorridge come across as more heartfelt than the folk currently in charge of the whole of Britain. Then again they're only Selling an idea i guess.

lame crowd

[@Heyyjoh]

You know why? because they're French. 99% of them don't understand a word of what he's saying.. fairly important to be able fully empathize with Rollins' music. They're just listening to a heavy sound with a guy singing in English but they have no idea what he's talking about.

[@mlwsf]

@@Heyyjoh hate to break it to you but most of the French people I have known have generally spoke English a lot better than I can speak French.

[@gonzaloalfarohormazabal8062]

Rollins band was an amazing band, but , this was a poor setlist

[@dowens3781]

No way - End Of Something has a great groove, and All I Want is one of the best songs on Come In And Burn. And Liar is his most known song.

[@paydrough]

The more and more I see of Henry Rollins, the more and more I dislike him.
