Randoodle lee It seems people have been hating on him lately. I have to admit there are times when he seems over critical on current music and technology. Overall I agree with you though and his body of work from 1980 to present cannot be denied. He is one of the most motivated, focused and humble people I know of.
I like that he's not a kid anymore, he's never stopped growing. Here he's not really grown up yet because America IS so dysfunctional. But he earned his opportunities, and he took them all going at full throttle. It's corny to say it but you can grow up to this person, I can kind of relate. He appreciates and respects things, so we appreciate and respect him, while for some he's even a role model. He shows that nobody is ever lost, and wherever your life finds you is the perfect starting point for the next thing you can go and do. Full throttle.
Jesus Christ, I keep seeing posts about how "Henry must've had a hand in Joe cole's murder". Just stop you guys. Not only was it his best friend, the FBI and LA police WANTED to put him behind bars, if there was any possible way to convict him they would have done it. He's innocent, it just kills me to read these comments. Imagine losing your best friend and then constantly hearing people say YOU did it. You know how much that would hurt?
@@theinnerstation Yep, it's mainly the result of a cognitive bias/fallacy called the "just-world hypothesis". Some people simply can't accept that injustices/fucked up shit happen in the world for seemingly no reason, and so they need to construct these elaborate conspiracy theories to make sense of it. It goes without saying that this reaction is highly delusional and counterproductive, and ends up hurting innocent people and annoying everybody with critical thinking skills.
@jay63811 they wanted someone to blame for it. He was suspect number 1, they detained him for several hours that day even though they had no reason to. The police dont care who they out behind bars, just that they get someone.
@jay63811 well, the FBI may not have been trying to get him at that specific instance in time, i more meant people in the punk scene in general with the FBI inclusion in that. The FBI and police were always harassing and doing counterintelligence type shit on punk artists, like spreading complete lies about them in media. The FBI may not have been involved in trying to lock him up at that point specifically, but Henry was a target by police and the FBI for over a decade at that point already. They would regularly stalk him and other punk artista, and at different points try to arrest them on trumped up charges or would assault them. They would wait outside of punk shows for fans to come out after shows, would just start beating people for no reason but then would have newspapers publish stories that would claim "punk band black flag incites riot". The FBI worked with local police end did a LOT of shit like that.
@jay63811 jello biafra talked about it a lot recently, its totally true. Henry has talked about this stuff too, the worst story he told was when cops waited outside to beat him down or worse and tried to lure him into an alley, and he just got the hell out of there. Jello biafra of the dead kennedies is literally the person i got the info from about the cops beating punk goers outside of venues and them having newspapers claim the punk bands incited riots, he has a channel and he talked about it in the last 2 months in a series of videos called something like "what happens when the police riot?", there were like 4 parts to this series and it was on his channel "alternative tentacles". But then, the FBI and CIA have been outed as trying to incite violence and frame counterculture movements since the 50s, beginning with cointelpro when different black movements were demanding civil rights, but it branched out after Nixon was elected into even white communities that were counterculture, thats why the drug war was started, it was to break up dissent and stop younger people from actually bettering society. But then the CIA was outed in the late 70s/early 80s as being literally the biggest dealer of drugs and having propped up drug lords all over the world, but especially for trafficking drugs in poor communities in the US. They pushed drugs into both black and white communities, in the 80s with the rise of punk and hip hop it got even worse, Henry has talked about how their drug pushing killed many of his friends and that he never knew who could be an informant, they literally had undercover cops that would stand outside of their studio 24/7, doing nonstop surveillance of them. This shit is all true, none of these bands hide this info and they talk about it all the time. Henry and jello talk about it a LOT and I'm literally just saying what they said. The deeper into about the CIA and FBI being outed as drug dealers and creating drug lords is just common knowledge from whistleblowers of that time, but the rest is straight from their mouths.
@jay63811 this is part 1 of the jello vid of him talking about it ruclips.net/video/x-jwdFIkQOk/видео.html I dont remember which interview with henry had him talking about what i mentioned sadly, i have watched hundreds of Rollins interviews so I have no clue which one it was.
"Music has always been a way for me to get what's inside outside." Couldn't have said it more succinctly. Henry Rollins has always been an idol of mine - tells it like it is, talented musician, writer, and poet, and more intelligent than most people in the record industry combined.
+David Field You're entitled to your opinion. I don't like all of his music - just like I don't like all the music done by other artists (for example, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, The Clash, etc., etc.) - but if you ever listen to him give a speech/commentary/lecture on various topics, you'll see that he's amazingly intelligent, well-read, and far more concerned with animal/environmental/human rights than most celebrities and average people on Earth. THAT is why I like him the most.
I'm not sure why but I could never stomach Joe rogan's podcast. He has had some of the coolest guests on but I can't get through one entire show. Anyhow, I highly recommend Henry Rollins podcast. I think he did 24 episodes with his assistant Heidi and they are all amazing and cover so many topics
His story of Joe's death is so deep and inspirational as sad as it is. Notice the host Dave Kendall doesn't even say anything while Hank was telling the story, probably just listening and taking it all in.
I can't even imagine having my best friend get shot and killed right behind me. Poor guy. Then Henry is there to clean up his deceased pals blood 😔 That alone is traumatic for anyone, regardless of your age.
he mentioned in another interview that he cleaned the blood because Joe's parents were coming to the house/crime scene and he didn't want them to have to see it. Super nice of him to take such a morbid task.
In a way, Henry is so primitive and so simple, and yet he`s the most complicated person i know of, he`s sincere, so blank, to the point and true. He`s basically in a way, the law itself(or what it should be)
I remember when this happened, and it was the same year I got shot during a robbery when I was 21. I was a fan but I ignored it at the time because I had too much shit going on in my own head about my own thing. Watching this is pretty bizarre, because he just oozes fresh trauma as soon as he starts talking about it. Looking down, not really in the room anymore, giving this clinical recitation of events including weird, insignificant details like the Alka Seltzer box... it's just strange to see someone else in that exact state. I remember getting told I turned into a robot or sounded like the Weather Channel back then when I talked about it. Crazy.
I was 26 w/ 2 kids getting divorced when this came out End of Silence helped me thru alot of hard times and helped me realize that pain and betrayal can drive onto greatness
yup i know how he feels i had my mom she was never around much there was food and a roof over our head but thats it so im messed up and hes very honest hes gorgeous too
One of the best things about Henry is not afraid about what he really is, cause most people are shallow, or they just lie or are afraid of talking the truth
He also clearly stated that he sings about his own experiences. I died when I was 7 years old during surgery. What I experienced was real. I don't care what anyone says. I don't have any heroes, but I respect anyone who feels Free to express their own beliefs, while respecting others right to do so also.
BatteriesDead I'll have my way with you in place of henry if you want? Also to the other guy henry has slept with more broads than me and you have seen combined.
Sad story, but not a near death experience. It was a nearly shot experience. A NDE is when u are "dead", experience Heaven or hell and then come back to your body here on earth.
+Erick Belcher Thanks, Erick. I can't recall what I was thinking when I wrote the comment, but somehow I thought he was saying that if he played music for therapy then others did, too. But I guess you're saying he's only talking about his own motivations, not other people's, which sounds true. You a Rollins fan?
Erick Belcher I'm more of a fan of his writing and speaking. Although he made me kind of sad. He writes a weekly music column here in L.A., and I used to write to him about it and he'd occasionally write me back. But then he stopped responding to me.
Erick Belcher oh it was an awesome feeling when he'd write back he's an icon. But his poetry I can take or leave, but he writes a lot of nonfiction, stuff about his travels and also experiences in music which I really liked. But I stopped reading him cause it hurt my feelings. But I still like talking about him on RUclips. What sort of work do you do, anything creative?

Henry Rollins is one of the strongest person to ever walk this earth. I can't even explain how much I respect this human being.

Randoodle lee funny, you change one letter in the word "strongest" and it becomes "strangest". Not sure what it means.
I love him, I look at his interviews when I'm need a push. It's something about his authenticity.
I like that he's not a kid anymore, he's never stopped growing. Here he's not really grown up yet because America IS so dysfunctional. But he earned his opportunities, and he took them all going at full throttle.

Exactly.
I love that he created his own publishing company, rather than wait for others to 'get him' and publish him.
+calabiyou It's a dispatch and publishing company for a lot of artists too.,
calabiyou Continuing his dyi ethic.

i agree with you totally
I wish someone would do a 3 hour interview with this guy, covering his entire life. So interesting and inspirational.
Enter Joe Rogan and his powerful experience.
@@lsipahelut beat me to it
Just listen to all his spoken word, he puts himself out on that.
I'm not sure why but I could never stomach Joe rogan's podcast. He has had some of the coolest guests on but I can't get through one entire show. Anyhow, I highly recommend Henry Rollins podcast. I think he did 24 episodes with his assistant Heidi and they are all amazing and cover so many topics
"I think America is this one huge dysfunctional family" - Henry Rollins
We're all part of that same family
The world is
I've heard him talk about this story a couple other time, but him talking about it here is definitely the heaviest.
His story of Joe's death is so deep and inspirational as sad as it is. Notice the host Dave Kendall doesn't even say anything while Hank was telling the story, probably just listening and taking it all in.

A friend of mine went to one of his spoken words shows and met him afterwards, he is so polite and well spoken and a cool guy. I’m so jealous
In a way, Henry is so primitive and so simple, and yet he`s the most complicated person i know of, he`s sincere, so blank, to the point and true.
He`s basically in a way, the law itself(or what it should be)
Man that Henry Rollins has a magical soul.
Damn MTV was dope
RIP to henry's bud, we are glad you are here with us henry.
bless him
He wouldn't probably accept a blessing, he's an atheist.
***** I believe he would, so long as he thought it was sincere.
eldoabrahamson Fair enough.
3:39 Henry can explain what I can't, we're raised to be humiliated.

This is why I dug so hard into Black Flag , I found them in 85 I was only 7, 31 years later I still feel the same way, reason to fight
Special human being.
Dave Kendall is a British-born journalist, editor, and VJ. He was first known to the public as the creator and host of MTV's 120 Minutes>
Joe;s father was a famous actor in the 70s and 80s Dennis Cole. The song Low self opinion , Is one of my favorites.

Fucking LOVE Henry Rollins. If you some how read this, keep being yourself.
💪
5stringklr 81 thanks young dude. keep doing it
My favourite Rollins interview.
this is fantastic thank you
Henry, you are and will be a great human being. I wish you happiness for all eternity.
Not a biggest fan of his music, but Hank is a very talented man.
Wow, Rollins Band with Blood Sugar Sex Magik Chili Peppers era, I would’ve loved to see that!
That tour played a club in Houston called The Unicorn.
I saw chillies at lollapalooza 92😋
Henry...
Peace.
This man has such a beautiful tragic soul.
Man, so sad.
F'ing love this interview!
One of the best things about Henry is not afraid about what he really is, cause most people are shallow, or they just lie or are afraid of talking the truth
so sincere
"Wrong place, wrong time. Guy didn't know Joe. Guy wouldn't of killed Joe if he met him.." RIP JOE COLE
+Ryland Root wouldn't've, wouldn't have but never wouldn't of

I'd insult you but nature's beat me to it.
RIGHT ON!
Awesome ~ thanks
Henry Rollins doesn't believe in NDE's, God or the afterlife. He's an atheist, a realist...
So am I and I admire Mr. Rollins. Rock on brotha !
Wan't he agnostic also?
He also clearly stated that he sings about his own experiences. I died when I was 7 years old during surgery. What I experienced was real. I don't care what anyone says. I don't have any heroes, but I respect anyone who feels Free to express their own beliefs, while respecting others right to do so also.
What a king
He's a lot more sensitive than I expected.
Can he just have his way with me???
BatteriesDead hes gay.
BatteriesDead I'll have my way with you in place of henry if you want? Also to the other guy henry has slept with more broads than me and you have seen combined.

6:39 Fuck, that's the truth
Im watching all of the joe cole stories to prove that henry is telling the same story and is telling the truth
WHY?
@@estel4110 because every video i watch thers always one or two people saying that henry is lying
How did HR get away from the guy that had a gun to his back?
Joe Cole died in Venice,CA. shouldnt his body be in LA County Coroner
They were after you Henry! Sorry to say that.
HENRY WATCHED "DOCTOR WHO?"

Wow Alan Vega from suicide 🙂
henry said that the cops after the shooting thought that henry and joe were a gay couple on his LA/ London dvd
wouldnt henry rollins make a great president???
have them meet up and fight to the DEATH
Who?
And why?
Sad story, but not a near death experience. It was a nearly shot experience. A NDE is when u are "dead", experience Heaven or hell and then come back to your body here on earth.
too bad cole had to be sacrificed to the beelzebubba, rick rubin.
Wait, what?

He looks kinda like Jim Carrey.
Wow, that's deep! You got a lot out of that interview.
Lol
Not really, though.
Nah he is exceptionally good looking
His story about Joe Cole's death doesn't add up.
Imperator Lupum why?
what doesnt add up, you gotta explain dude
henry explains joe's death full length on his LA /London dvd
I'm sure he would agree that because of their white privilege, they were partially to blame.
Why are Rollins band so bad?
Henry Rollins is a liar!
This is whats missing in todays music.
