A few years ago, I sold a rare promo pressing of an Iggy Pop album to Henry. It was such a cool moment to see the name Henry Garfield pop up on the mailing label to an address in LA, and realize who the buyer was.
i would have said it in one word....boring. tries way too hard trying desperately to make an over the top situation even more dramatic than it deserves... YAAAAAWN
I've just spent the last 21mins the most entertained I've ever been while on RUclips or pretty much anywhere in life. Henry Rollins is always amazing and ever entertaining in all that he does, but to hear him telling his story of his quest to annihilate Iggy Pop (who is the ruler of the universe in my eyes) was GOLD. I've never laughed so hard at Henry and his antics. And his impersonation of Iggy on stage was spot on! I'm absolutely certain my future holds for me another viewing of this video!
I read "the last 21 mins" and heard myself say "No fkkn way this was, like, 10 mins MAX!" Checked the time stamp THREE times... found this comment so I could say "Holy shit! You're right! How great is it to be so immersed in a story, it felt like time stopped? And I never would've realized it if not for your comment 🤣🤯!"
Thing is, while now in his mid '70s, and although he noticeably doesn't have the stamina that he'd had in his 40s and even 50s, he's still a manic and hyperkinetic dynamo when on-stage
@@shruggzdastr8-facedclown I had the DVD and I would play it on repeat, people started getting pissed because it was always playing in the background if I was around. :D
This video disappeared from RUclips a while back and I was quite sad as I regularly watch it 3-4x per year. Thank you SO much for uploading it - such a good story/performance :)
should have seen the Stooges in the early 70's. i did and it changed my life. i no longer wanted to commit suicide. the stooges saved my life. this is the power that is real Detroit rock. MC5 and Stooges. i am happy now and going to be 70 years young.
Henry is so right..... Down On The Street is such an amazingly primitive yet spectacularly beautiful sounding song. I'd pick it as the Stooges best tune.
There is a video of the concert in Finland. Iggy tells the security to let the people on stage around the 10th minute, when the band plays Passenger riff. Lust for life starts when the stage is already crowded. And the flowers for the Cure show are there. "Iggy Pop Provinsirock Seinäjoki Finland 10 jun 1996". ruclips.net/video/9GsGuzbnkw0/видео.html
it must be at 10 years since I first listened to this anecdote... My blurry memory being what it is, I had forgotten how well he told it! A pure pleasure!
So great! I remember Rollins doing this set when he was on a festival tour in Australia. Iggy and the stooges were on the same bill. This worked as such amazing hype before Iggy.
Well, I just watched this again, because this is still one of the greatest displays of a human being saying words for others to enjoy that I have ever seen/heard. I paused the video at 4:05 and listened to the song, Down on the Street, and yeah, it is a great song.
Awesome story. We got an extra encore in Utrecht not long ago. Ig came out and said, "Here's a little extra jam be a use we love you so much" and broke into Down on the Street> Fun House. Soooo good.
Rollins Band with a closing guest appearance by Iggy Pop, right before seeing the Beastie Boys, all in 90's New Orleans. What a fucking time that must have been.
this is prime era Rollins spoken word. His shows were so strong between the era of 'The Boxed Life' and 'Think Tank'. I admire his constant adapting (the more politically-focused end-of-Bush-era shows, and then the Obama period), which he kind of had to do. I saw him in a small venue just before the more political talk shows took hold - about 2003/04: it was unforgettable.
I have a story about Iggy. I saw him in the early seventies in Detroit, small venue/stage with an orchestra pit. He did his thing with died silver hair. Screaming while doing gymnastics. I had a prime spot- right up front in the orchestra pit seated on top of my boyfriend’s shoulders. I could clearly see Iggy very close up no obstructions. Had my camera in my hands and I started snapping away. He did a back-bend and I got it smack dead center, epic shot. It was less than an hour and Iggy was already winding it down and the band stopped playing. Then he asked the audience where do we want to go party? “Name a place” he said and motioned with his mic for someone to take it. I was right there closer than anyone. I grabbed the mic as he handed it to me, but instead of suggesting a place to go and party, I yelled at him “why don’t you play longer, it is too short Jim Osterburg!!” He quickly jerked the mic out if my hands ignoring my question. And looked for someone else who might have a suggestion. I don’t remember what exactly happened next bcuz I was climbing down if my boyfriends shoulders and we started to leave the concert hall.when one if the guards who were policing the crowd, snatched my camera out if my hands. He walked back to the office and we followed. There he ripped out my film- all of it. Exposing my film and ruining the whole roll. Then he let us go. So we left before the madness got worse as it was too scary wild out in the concert area.
Haha I knew it would turn out like this. The problem is that Henry looks at this too much like a man, with that kind of diligence, discipline, commitment to training and explicit expectation you may make a good soldier or serial killer but feral animals don’t think like that, it takes a mentality of truly not giving a fuck about anything but rock n roll and destruction to be a ride or die maniac like Iggy Pop. Sure everyone has to master their art by practicing but you don’t need no regimen if that’s who you are 24/7.
Saw his recent show in Annapolis and he brought it out again. Apparently "Jim" likes to keep Henry at a few arm's length nowadays. If I recall, Iggy Fuckin' Pop, by Rollins' recollection, said "uh, Henry, uh, it's good t'see you and all, but...you're kinda 'a lot' and if you could, y'know, go over to the other side of the room, okay..."
@@AnonymousAccount514 Yeah. I actually worked at a club years ago (91/92ish) in Jacksonville, Florida when his spoken word tour came through. I was working, but got to hear most of his set. And of course over the years I’ve listened to random bits and bobs from his spoken word. I also caught Rollins Band opening for Beastie Boys with Cypress Hill in ‘92. I’m not a huge Black Flag/Rollins Band fan but I’m an immense fan of his spoken word/intellect.
Henry autographed a ticket after a Rollins Band performance at First Avenue. He was TIRED, but gratuitous and kind. I saw RB once more, Henry in spoken word thrice(?), one of which was on the same First Avenue stage. I know someone who met Iggy at least once. I think we have the very same enthusiasm for our favored artists!
Iam pretty sure I've seen them both twice, Iggy would have been 15yrs apart the 2nd time was when the Stooges had reformed and Iggy had more energy and was just as toned as he had been 15yrs earlier. 🙂
I saw Iggy try to stage dive in Columbus, OH. The crowd parted, Iggy landed on chairs and dislocated his arm. Show over and Iggy never came back. I was surprised no one tried to catch him.
We had the Bass Masters Fishing Tournament several years in the 80's, in Chattanooga, and Astronaut Chuck Yeager was fishing in it as a special guest. A friend of ours that works for a large Transportation company, skied NAKED around Chuck Yeager, 3 circumferences.....it was ....hilarious...He qas yelling, "I love you Chuck, your the Man!!" We'd been up up night, camping out at a place called SKULL ISLAND, and we're in bad shape...
I never got into his band But Pop was a different story. One thing Iggy Pop had the music to back him up. Rollins I can't even name a song But Rollins sure can jack that jaw.
Excellent ... I wish my Bowie performances are a credit to his brilliance ... The audience is very specific ... so now I leave the car running ... David would smile.
Henry Rollins talks about himself and a man named Iggy Pop at the Aftermarket Warehouse Distributors Association Conference in Toledo. They were going to get Larry the Cable Guy’s cousin Todd the Water Meter Reader to perform for them but accounting didn’t send the deposit check in time. I heard Wanda got in a lot of trouble over that. Turned out everyone was just happy to be drunk, away from their families, and in a hotel in a strange city for two nights.

@@Rand_al_Thor372 How do you contact Henry?
@@killval849 You contact his management.
One thing about Henry is how he is always simultaneously effortlessly badass, brilliantly intelligent and adorably nerdy.
You nailed it.
Rollins is just that super intense weirdo kid from study hall, but extremely jacked and with a chip on his shoulder.
With every conformist opinion

@@kevh5487 sorry, but for me the context of doing this entire regiment for a stage performance before thousands of people injects the drama.

I've watched this over 50 times. You will enjoy the one where Henry meets David Bowie. Look it up.
‘Iggy, now unencumbered by vocal duties’ 😂😂😂😂😂😂
So accurate to Iggy's performances xD
Thats when you know the fun starts

@@perelin Well your effort is genuinely appreciated. Cheers!
Rollins is such a great guy - he's a true fan as well as a performer.
Provinssirock 1996.
Henry got one thing wrong though: FJORDS.
Fjords are a Norwegian thing, we DO NOT have fjords in Finland...
That was some of the most entertaining shit I have heard in a long time. I was splitting with laughter. Brilliant story telling.
I saw Iggy and The Stooges live in about 2010 and Iggy was still an absolute force of nature despite being in his sixties.
While he's slowed-down now that he's in his mid '70s, he still rocks harder than most frontmen a third his age
Iggy is truly a magnificent specimen. I saw him twice in the early 80's, small venues, and he whipped out his junk both times lol.

Everyone thinks of the musicians that California and New York breeds. But, Detroit/Michigan musicians have a special type of insanity that is amazing
