I met Henry in the parking lot of a radio station in Tampa in '95. My buddy and I asked if we could get an autograph. His manager tried to blow us off but Henry stopped and signed a cpl autographs for us and talked to us for a minute. Down to earth, very appreciative of his fans, full on legend!
I saw him in college in 1987. My friend, who was using my own guitar that night, was in a local band that opened for Rollins. The guitar player for Rollins had issues with both of his guitars so he picked up mine and played most of the concert with it! I stood 3ft in front of Henry the whole show. One of those magical memories I’ll never forget.
@@richardshort311Well, given it was 87, it was more likely Chris Haskett since this was a year after he left Black Flag and Rollins Band was already off the ground
They still are. It's true of me and other people I know. But there are obvious limits to that. If values conflict, or at least one party is opposed to all people who disagree, then it's unlikely a friendship will form. For example, if one person's politics are about fighting for civil rights, and another person believes that all people of that person's race, ethnicity, creed, etc. should be killed, enslaved, or just disenfranchised in some way, I seriously doubt they would become friends (it's hard to see how they could unless at least one of them drastically changed their positions).
Not anymore. These days that's one of the acceptable reasons for things like: divorce, getting fired, and being jailed. LOL When did this nation get so effing stupid?
Many of my friends have different political views than I do. It's not that difficult we just dont talk politics or if we do we keep it short. I know I am never going to change anyone's political view. As an older person I can tell you 24 cable news and social media has greatly damaged how people think and talk to one another. If you listen to one political view all day and the majority of your friends do to on social media you tend to become brainwashed. Things have certainly changed but remember politicians come and go, friends need to be kind to one another.
I have a buddy that met him back in the Damn Yankees era, and despite both being guitarists, talked about bow hunting for half an hour and Ted autographed some paper targets for him. Said out of all the pro musicians he's met, Ted was the nicest by far. Anecdotal, but I trust the source.
@@johnstewart2793 Ted’s spot on with his politics. He understands that living -and living FREE under LAW & ORDER- is just a little bit more important than music and music making. He also understands the importance of the phrase: “KNOW THINE ENEMY”. They’ll eat you alive if you don’t. As has always been the case, FREEDOM must be FOUGHT FOR if it is to be preserved. In this world of power-hungry enemies who will take it from us if we aren’t willing to FIGHT to keep it, FREEDOM is PAID FOR with the BLOOD of PATRIOTS who are willing to DIE FOR IT. “LIVE FREE OR DIE!” “GIVE ME FREEDOM OR GIVE ME DEATH!” One thing is sure with Ted Nugent and all true American Patriots: you won’t just take our freedom from us.
@@iDONTdoFacebook Calm down, no one is trying to take yer "freedoms" or yer guns, or yer Jesus. The right keeps beating that drum, but I would think 40+ years in you would have caught on to the grift. Hell, the only people I see taking away rights are republicans. Now go fingerbang Jesus monkey eye and leave the adults in the room alone.
This is why I respect Henry....Henry HATES Ted's politics, but still gives him his due for the music he's made and the influence he's had. That's respect. Even when you don't agree.
@@aliceshaw8265 He didn't smear Ted just said he could not understand it. That some of ted's more outrageous public statements did not fit with the man he knew. The acquaintance and mutual respect they share with each other is exactly what our country used to be about, not the mindless hate you just tossed out there.
ssp It can still be that way. Why not be the better person and start treating everyone, especially those with whom you disagree, with respect? Just a thought.
I have heard Henry Rollins say some things that takes my breath away. Lets be real he isn't the most stable rational guy. But this is what we all need more of. Political mortal enemies need to hang out and get to know each other as people. Maybe then we can start to heal this world.
I don’t want to know the traitor in Chief or Nazi Pelosi or Airheadria Occasional Cortex or Adam Shiftless or Diane Frankenfeinstein or Marxine Waterhead etc
Same. He used to be fairly outrageous himself. His views on women were definitely fucked up. Not sure if he still holds those same views. He was also probably more violent than Ted Nugent has ever been.
@@paulwilliams819 I thought it was extreme when Nugent said. “Just know that evil, dishonesty and scam artists have always been around and that right now they’re liberal, they’re Democrat, they’re RINOs, they’re Hollywood, they’re fake news, they’re media, they’re academia, and they’re half of our government, at least.” “So come to that realization,” “There are rabid coyotes running around, you don’t wait till you see one to go get your gun, keep your gun handy. And every time you see one, shoot one.”
Saw Ted many times, once for a dollar once when he couldn't get a record deal. His music was great but its dated for me now. Read his book and I hate the way he thinks. Didn't go in the service, says he was too busy, puts down all the shot and a beer ,weed smokers who made him famous, he's the king of hypocrisy
I like Nugent's music too, but I won't buy any of it. I don't believe in supporting his agenda, and if the guy isn't a racist, he sure as hell talks like one.
Lloyd Claussen i never read his book. I know he’s straight edge and I’m sure he probably talks some shit about people who do drugs but I don’t really care, I mean I smoke a shit ton of weed but I’m not taking omit personal. He makes good rock records. I don’t really care where he stands politically or whatever. That’s just me tho. Same with gene simons. The dudes a total douchebag money grubbing asshole but I like 70s KISS so I’m not gonna refuse to buy his music just cuz I think he’s an asshole. He’s not my hero, I wouldn’t want to meet him, don’t care to see him live, but I like kiss, they’re an alright band
Mean Mister Mustard I don’t think buying his music has anything with supporting his “agenda” . It would be different if you were going out and being an activist for the things he supports, but simply buying some of his albums is irrelevant to what he stands for politically. I don’t know where he stands on everything but I would guess that most of it I don’t agree with. But cat scratch fever is a kickass album so I own it, along with a few others from him. I mean if you really don’t wanna buy his music that’s fine obviously I just think it’s silly to draw a connection between someone’s art and the political stands they take. I mean for example, Guns N’ Roses covered a song by Charles Manson, I’m sure they don’t stand by his murders, it’s just a good song and they covered. And to be fair, and royalties that would go to Charles Manson they pulled from their own royalties so it came out of their own pocket essentially. But I think that’s a good example of how you can like the art someone creates but not agree with their morals
@@jeremydraper733 Usually I would agree with you. For instance, I still love watching Woody Allen movies and think the guy is brilliant, even though personally the guy is a creep. But with Ted Nugent, he is an activist actively promoting ideologies, agenda's, and candidates that I despise. I am in fact a guitarist and think he's a great player and I dig some of his songs, but I can't bring myself to expand his coffers.
@@todd4335Hey neighbor! 👋 I too was at those Texxas Jamms! Like - all of em. Nugent, or Uncle Ted as we all called him, never disappointed. NEVER. Not once. Playing live BETTER than on the LP is hard to do, and he ROCKS!! I saw him in concert multiple times thru that golden concert period of hard rock, and while I could name other big bands who disappoint in concert, bcuz let's face it, recreating on stage can be difficult, Nugent never once had that issue. Big respect for Uncle Ted. ❤
It's so fantastic to hear this joy in Henry's voice when he's talking about old Detroit scene. I am share this love with him. Music helps connect people around the World.
Yes back in those days I saw 5 bands at the old Jack Murphy stadium in san diego and the last performance was The J Giels Band. Motor City Breakdown, tour was Full House and I still love Ted he resonates right along with the rest of em
@@dukesilver9704 it looks like he was about to get ganged up on but who knows. I hope we can agree that that girl yelling kick his ass in the background was horrible though
Ted was always just an asshole. He's a talented guitar player so he gets way with it. If he worked in an office he'd be fired the first day for asshole behavior. If he worked on a loading dock his co-workers would demand someone fire him.
@@michaeldonnan6767 I've worked with assholes at Toyota for a decade and they haven't been fired yet and I'm one of them, if being an asshole gets you fired around where you work then I feel sorry for you guys and your pussies.
@@michaeldonnan6767 I'm an asshole, not afraid to admit it, but I make LOTS of money for employer, which is why I'm an asshole! I'm not afraid to tell colleagues or bosses when they're being stupid. Because of this, I've been fired and brought back for more money when they realize I'm right. You can be an asshole in any industry when you learn skills that are rarely matched.
@@samuraihardware7435 Good point. I actually have nothing against those who don;t want to be soldiers. Hell, I would weaken the war effort if I were in uniform (though I do respect those that are). What chaps my ass is people who dodged the draft or refuse to sign up and then bang the drums for war once they are too old to serve. (See 90% of the GOP)
Naki Ryan he used to be cool now he's a likeable guy who used to be cool. Music is important politics is not. That's why their music sucks when they sell out politics they become just a hack. So I guess it sounds like you like him because he's a hack now? Also the music was him, the politics is just faceless nobody-ness. With politics in front there's no one to like there's just same old dead message.
Naki Ryan yeah I don't recommend spending a lot of time trying to divine what's in people's hearts and if you have a problem with it. Most people barely know themselves or what they're problems with their own lives should be.
@@danielabilez3619 In the 1980s, when "Wango Tango" was in the rear-view mirror, Nugent was getting a bit old for his Motor City Madman persona, and he'd run out of commercially appealing musical offerings, he had to do something that would put him back in the spotlight. Hence, the far-right crank provocateur/raconteur persona. Hitching himself to the Rush Limbaugh crowd has served his career well.
I've lived in Detroit my whole life and watch the Decay with corrupt politicians and Ted has been here seeing the same thing. I believe it has to be part of why he is the way he is. Long live rock & roll.
It wasn't that tough to go platinum back in the day. You didn't necessarily need talent, as long as you got popular. Ted's sheeplike politics is what we hate about him. Ted needs to stick with guitars and bows, leave political beliefs behind.
Henry....super smart,....committed to his convictions, easy to talk to, excellent communications skills, a life time of experience, not to mention he'd kick your ass in a fight....100% respect !! If Henry's talking.....I'm listening !!
I met the guy after a set of spoken word. He's a judgemental pompous asshole. Not to mention he gave me shit for holding a beer, talked down to me like i was an alcoholic and I hadn't even said one word to him. Fuck that guy.
2 dudes I've seen in person! Rollins spoke at my college graduation, such a great speech. I sold a book to Ted Nugent and he talked to me about the evils of the credit card industry. He paid in cash, of course.
Met uncle Ted back in Michigan in my high school days when he lived in Hanover Horton. Ran into him much later at my daughter's workplace in Waco TX. Such a cool down to earth guy, love him.
Not to mention, I wonder if he remembers his own song, "Hey Henry." If you haven't heard it, one section talks about raping a police woman, killing her, then driving away in her car ("hey Henry, what would you do if I told you, I raped a policewoman..." "Well I think I'd say, WELL ALRIGHT!!!") "Oh, you really should be careful what you say." Fuck off. The song is rank and hilarious, and I don't think anybody did any of that because of it. On the other hand, only about seven people ever heard it lol
Well.. easy to say. Word can motivate people. You talk about everything by your kid, doesn't matter how old is your kid. Not everyone like you that can take responsibility. Im not into history but it says something different..
@@Nodirm93 words can definitely motivate, but they are not the driving force behind someone taking action. If a person is not in control of their emotions, well that sounds like a one off and a personal issue, but if it’s not... our society has a lot of problems which speak to a bigger issue.
The sad fact is that there are a lot of rotten people who became very famous for stuff... miles Davis, bill Cosby, Michael Jackson and his dad, Ike turner.
We saw KISS in Pittsburgh back in 1985 or 1986, with Ted Nugent as the opening act. Ted was AMAZING! Full of energy, one of the best shows I'd ever seen! Then KISS played their set; at the end, the lights went off and they left the stage, waiting for the crowd to cheer them back for an encore, but we all just got up and started leaving. The lights came back on, no encore, the show was over.
When I first came to know who Rogan was, I thought the guy was a goof. But, the more I was subjected to him through UFC and now this show, I find him to be really intelligent, articulate and has a great knack for chatting with people. Rollins is a legend. Larger than life personality.
Henry Rollins is such a thoughtful person, as in he really takes the time to elaborate his thoughts and feelings about a subject or person and he chooses the appropriate words to eloquently paint the full picture of what is on his mind. That is a quality that the world has been lacking since its inception and I wish more people would strive to be that way.
I would respect what he said here more if he reacted the same when when leftists CONSTANTLY call conservatives nazi's and white supremacists. That has the same effect on people as Nugent saying terrible things about Obama.
@@ExperienceEric I hate fearing for the future of our country and the human race. But the problem is how many people have become SO extremist on BOTH sides. Most Americans 30 to 50 years ago would find the current political climate outright grotesque. It's hard to see the humanity in someone who will rationalize virtually anything pushed by their "team" including endless blatant, verifiable lies. Cogent people sholdn't be comfortable with anyone who resembles Mussolini OR Valerie Solanas.
@@ezakustam Now people on both sides are locked into each "side" to an extreme level, I will agree with that. But the level of radicalism of mainstream views on both side are dramatically different. One is more common sense, the others is off the charts radical and extreme (the left).
Dont forget Henry that Detroit was also Motown, the home of Smokey Robinson, The 4 Tops, etc. IMHO Smokey was one of the greatest song writers of all time.
Love your podcast Joe. You’ve made a forum where people can learn about anything and everything. Best part is, it’s one of the few places people can talk normal without crazy division.
Yup, GFR was way better than Nuge could ever hope to be. Farmer's tone, taste and use of dynamic range was a level above most 1970s generic rockers. Nothing fancy but he did it really well. Great voice too.
I once saw Henry Rollins reading a book while waiting for a flight at the LAX airport. One person recognized him and said hi and shook his hand. He looked genuinely nice when meeting the guy. I didn’t go up to him. Just passed by. Yup. That’s my Henry Rollins story. Seems nice.
Saw Henry speak years ago, and it's still one of my favorite performances ever. While he was funny, he was also very thought-provoking, which I'm certain was his intent. He's not only studious about the world around him, but in being acutely aware of our perception of it--and also of human nature--he's smarter than most of us in ways that "book smarts" can't measure. One thing he said in particular has stuck with me: _Now I might have you over for dinner, and we might disagree on a few things, but at least have _*_something_*_ to say and something that you believe in--don't make it a boring conversation_ I see a few comments about what a great guy he is in person, and they don't surprise me at all. He's humble, with a respect for all humans until they give him a solid reason to lose it--and even then he's still unwilling to write someone off as a total loss, based on a single incident. He's got the compassion to not thrive in proving someone wrong--but he's still got the integrity to be straightforward even when it hurts. I doubt Henry Rollins would ever run for president, but I'd vote for him in a heartbeat.
The reason Ted Nugent has that "steel trap" memory is because of all the brain cells he kept by never doing drugs or alcohol. But the other thing you need to know about Ted Nugent is he is also a long time friend of Wayne Kramer from the MC5--who is about as far on the political spectrum as he is--but the common denominator is music, and there are two things in American life that bring people together: Sports and music
@@al-bot1094 Okay--maybe it doesn't bring Auburn and Alabama fans together, or even OH State and Michigan fans together. But the analogy I was after was this. Say--you're a white Ohio State fan and you were ignorant about black people, didn't much care for them. But you know a black guy who is as crazy about the Buckeyes as you are. Your whole view of people from other races begins to change, and you begin to realize they're people just like you with the same interests and likes as you have. And then you come together
@@calmerthanyou6180 was with and married a 14 yr old...oh-but with the parents permission-Ted's 1st wife died hitting a tree in her van while under the influence-yes I was there...loooooooser
Ted Nugent is an accomplished musician and performer. His playing has been spot-on since the ‘70s. I just saw him last summer and it’s just him and a bassist and drummer! I think the bassist sang “Hey Baby”, Ted sang everything else. He’s got it down - doesn’t even look at the guitar any more. I just got so burned out on those songs, I can’t enjoy them any more, but his musicianship is top notch. (Hey, I can’t listen to “Stairway to Heaven” or “Sweet Home Alabama” any more, either even though those were great tunes.)
amen. My favorite band is Pink Floyd. I have hundreds of bootlegs and have heard just about every note they ever played that is available in the public domain. Having said that, I don't need to ever hear Dark Side of the Moon ever again. It's great...monumental even...but I'm so beyond burnt out on it.
Have you heard him today? He is so politically charged that his music takes a back seat. He makes his playing irrelevant to music because he focuses so much on politics and not practicing his guitar.
@@Strings-jg2to His guitar playing one way or the other isn't going to change America, but his political activism might help save it. Music wont mean much when gas is 10 bucks a gallon, milk is 10 bucks a gallon, eggs are a buck a piece, diesel fuel is `12 bucks a gallon, hamburger is 10 bucks a pound, millions of illegal aliens invade, democrats start banning guns, and the shelves are empty. I'm pretty sure he's done the math and decided for himself what's more important. In my view, his calculations are spot on.
The more I listen to Henry Rollins, the more I appreciate him. I never would have thought he would be such an insightful person. Just one of the many times that I have been severely wrong. I love Henry Rollins.
Tbf, I think when Ted does it it’s on a little more of a uh… “racial” basis perhaps? When Henry does it’s on the basis of hating all politicians regardless of color
Love Henry. I've seen him do spoken word tour here in Atlanta. He's awesome. I don't always agree with him, but he's always starting an interesting conversation.
Henry & Ted are both fantastic, I really like that they can disagree on certain things but are both intelligent enough to be able to talk to each other. I like both of them and don't agree or disagree with either of them 100% of the time. Great clip Joe Rogan, fantastic job as always.
@@MichaelD26 And copy and pasting known tough-guys modern talk. But, the roots... The origins... Mike Tyson knows he'll lose to Achilles. But he wants it anyway.
Met Henry in a mutual friends steakhouse in Chicago a few years ago. He has no on camera persona he's just Henry. It was a great time getting to talk with him.
Joe and Henry, you two are awesome!! I love how you can see beyond political in ideology and see the person. I'm trying hard to be more like that myself. Keep up being who you are.
"those records are gospel to me, in my dna", well put Henry. Being a young teen in 1977, 78, Ted Nugent was the most popular rock guitar god, top of his game. . First albums I ever bought. Timeless, great rock n roll.
First concert I ever went to. The year was 1975, Ted was opening for Kansas and the headline was Aerosmith. This was in Seattle and was Ted's Stranglehold tour. He came out and destroyed the place. My brother and I are like, 'who is this guy'? He literally stole the show. It was an amazing introduction to concert going for me to see three great bands, but the surprise of Ted's performance was epic!

I love Ted Nugent . He is a little crazy , but in a feeedom , don’t get in my way kinda crazy . He’s 70 something and can still jam and looks great because of his clean body lifestyle. I truly love it !!
Henry just said that Ted treats him great and has had some great conversations with him, Same with Joe”. So isn’t Ted just as cool ? He obviously respects Henry’s personal political opinions . People should actually NOT get too involved with themselves. 😂✌️
I appreciate Ted's opinion just as many others everyone has their own personality some are more outspoken than others to each his own. I also was a huge fan of his back in the days, he was the Motor City Madman, what a performer
I pissed off a lot of my friends who were complaining about Ted on Facebook, by posting a video of him shredding with Damn Yankees. They had taken it beyond their distaste for his political views into the realm of, "and he sucks on guitar, too!" I'm like, compared to what?
I’ve loved and respected Henry Rollins’ work for a long time. I never realized how humble he was though. He always had this tough guy air around him, but inside he’s a nice guy.

@@TheAxe4Ever My message was concise enough and I agree completely with the insufferable liberals that I have to deal with almost daily. My gripe was with the short bit regarding Ted's outburst, but after listening to it again I stand corrected, there was indeed almost no preaching. That being said, I found Rogan using too much of the liberal lingo and logic even if he pretends the opposite.
I “met” him twice in 10 years. It’s a long story and I don’t type well. It is funny though. First was in a club he was playing. I walked out of the men’s room and was paralleling somebody who was also going towards the stage to check out the opener. We both stood there listening. I glanced over and thought that’s either Henry Rollins or his number one fan because he looks just like him down to the tattoos. I’d read his anthology by now and kinda knew how he was. We stood there for a while. I was the only person who recognized him, so I tried to play it cool plus I really didn’t want to bother him too much. I slowly sidestepped towards him and he was focused on the stage. One more sidestep, no movement. I leaned in to his ear and said, how’s it going? Without even moving or turning his head, he said Good! I sidestepped back to my original position and then he was getting spotted by more people who were much less cool about it than I was. HaHa! He left to go backstage with a pained look on his face. Second time was about 10 years later on his spoken word tour. Afterwards he was talking to a small group outside by the bus. I thought to myself, hey, he’s talking to people, maybe I can get in on it. I walked over and listened and waited till everyone was done to try my turn. I told him I had 2 books to recommend to him that I thought he might be interested in. I’d written down the books and the authors on a piece of paper that I handed to him. As I said this, he said Yeah? And took the paper. Somebody in his group got his attention so he left. That’s it! 2 words, 2 syllables in 10 years! I think it’s funny. It’s one of my favorite Rock stories. You gotta love Henry!
I saw Ted at Cobo Hall in Detroit in the ‘70’s. He came out in a loin cloth and his Gibson Birdland guitar. John5 is from Detroit as well, another great guitar tone master.
eric hooper he’s simply recommending that you think about what you are going to say and the effect your words will have. It’s called maturity and being intelligent.
I love both Henry and Ted, fan of both for years, but I am a little disappointed in Henry when he says he doesn't like that Ted said some nasty things about Obama. Later Henry goes on to say that he tries to be careful with what he says except when he's talking about politicians, then it's OK to say anything. Kind of hypocritical of Henry to blast Ted for it then claim he does it too.

I’m so old I can remember when people with different political opinions could still be friends.
They still are. It's true of me and other people I know.
But there are obvious limits to that. If values conflict, or at least one party is opposed to all people who disagree, then it's unlikely a friendship will form.
For example, if one person's politics are about fighting for civil rights, and another person believes that all people of that person's race, ethnicity, creed, etc. should be killed, enslaved, or just disenfranchised in some way, I seriously doubt they would become friends (it's hard to see how they could unless at least one of them drastically changed their positions).

Ted’s spot on with his politics. He understands that living -and living FREE under LAW & ORDER- is just a little bit more important than music and music making. He also understands the importance of the phrase: “KNOW THINE ENEMY”. They’ll eat you alive if you don’t. As has always been the case, FREEDOM must be FOUGHT FOR if it is to be preserved. In this world of power-hungry enemies who will take it from us if we aren’t willing to FIGHT to keep it, FREEDOM is PAID FOR with the BLOOD of PATRIOTS who are willing to DIE FOR IT.

@@aliceshaw8265 He didn't smear Ted just said he could not understand it. That some of ted's more outrageous public statements did not fit with the man he knew.

ssp It can still be that way. Why not be the better person and start treating everyone, especially those with whom you disagree, with respect? Just a thought.
I have heard Henry Rollins say some things that takes my breath away. Lets be real he isn't the most stable rational guy. But this is what we all need more of. Political mortal enemies need to hang out and get to know each other as people. Maybe then we can start to heal this world.
Or arm them with sharp and heavy weapons. Wait...that's a duel. Okay, a duel works too. Make a killing on some sort of pay per view. No pun intended.
At least with age, he’s calmed down. I’ve seen some wild interaction or interview with Henry.
I don’t want to know the traitor in Chief or Nazi Pelosi or Airheadria Occasional Cortex or Adam Shiftless or Diane Frankenfeinstein or Marxine Waterhead etc
David Bell been drinking that Q-tard kool-aid
Same. He used to be fairly outrageous himself. His views on women were definitely fucked up. Not sure if he still holds those same views. He was also probably more violent than Ted Nugent has ever been.
This clip followed straight after Henry on the Stern show where he said he’d like it if Bono’s life was shortened…
Rollins is a really smart guy, dig the fact that he can disagree with Ted but still appreciate the art he's made.
He grew up on Detroit rock music, so did I. Never been to Detroit but I love that music.
That's what you call critical thinking
You can love Uncle Ted's music and still realize he's a right wing extremist.
@@flipwright1138 What views of Ted's are extreme?
@@paulwilliams819 I thought it was extreme when Nugent said. “Just know that evil, dishonesty and scam artists have always been around and that right now they’re liberal, they’re Democrat, they’re RINOs, they’re Hollywood, they’re fake news, they’re media, they’re academia, and they’re half of our government, at least.”
“So come to that realization,” “There are rabid coyotes running around, you don’t wait till you see one to go get your gun, keep your gun handy. And every time you see one, shoot one.”
Weird, it’s like you don’t have to agree with everything about someone and you can still like their music. Who would’ve thought right?
Saw Ted many times, once for a dollar once when he couldn't get a record deal. His music was great but its dated for me now. Read his book and I hate the way he thinks. Didn't go in the service, says he was too busy, puts down all the shot and a beer ,weed smokers who made him famous, he's the king of hypocrisy
I like Nugent's music too, but I won't buy any of it. I don't believe in supporting his agenda, and if the guy isn't a racist, he sure as hell talks like one.
Lloyd Claussen i never read his book. I know he’s straight edge and I’m sure he probably talks some shit about people who do drugs but I don’t really care, I mean I smoke a shit ton of weed but I’m not taking omit personal. He makes good rock records. I don’t really care where he stands politically or whatever. That’s just me tho. Same with gene simons. The dudes a total douchebag money grubbing asshole but I like 70s KISS so I’m not gonna refuse to buy his music just cuz I think he’s an asshole. He’s not my hero, I wouldn’t want to meet him, don’t care to see him live, but I like kiss, they’re an alright band
Mean Mister Mustard I don’t think buying his music has anything with supporting his “agenda” . It would be different if you were going out and being an activist for the things he supports, but simply buying some of his albums is irrelevant to what he stands for politically. I don’t know where he stands on everything but I would guess that most of it I don’t agree with. But cat scratch fever is a kickass album so I own it, along with a few others from him. I mean if you really don’t wanna buy his music that’s fine obviously I just think it’s silly to draw a connection between someone’s art and the political stands they take. I mean for example, Guns N’ Roses covered a song by Charles Manson, I’m sure they don’t stand by his murders, it’s just a good song and they covered. And to be fair, and royalties that would go to Charles Manson they pulled from their own royalties so it came out of their own pocket essentially. But I think that’s a good example of how you can like the art someone creates but not agree with their morals
@@jeremydraper733 Usually I would agree with you. For instance, I still love watching Woody Allen movies and think the guy is brilliant, even though personally the guy is a creep. But with Ted Nugent, he is an activist actively promoting ideologies, agenda's, and candidates that I despise. I am in fact a guitarist and think he's a great player and I dig some of his songs, but I can't bring myself to expand his coffers.
Saw Ted in 1976 in Oklahoma City. He was absolutely amazing live. One of the top concerts I've ever seen.

@@danielabilez3619 In the 1980s, when "Wango Tango" was in the rear-view mirror, Nugent was getting a bit old for his Motor City Madman persona, and he'd run out of commercially appealing musical offerings, he had to do something that would put him back in the spotlight. Hence, the far-right crank provocateur/raconteur persona. Hitching himself to the Rush Limbaugh crowd has served his career well.
I've lived in Detroit my whole life and watch the Decay with corrupt politicians and Ted has been here seeing the same thing. I believe it has to be part of why he is the way he is. Long live rock & roll.
All those "corrupt politicians " are democrats. So yeah, that's why he is conservative.
FuckDetroit & And Throw Chicago Down The Same Shithole

Henry, being careful isn’t what Uncle Ted is all about. If he moderated his words, nobody would listen to what he has to say.
2 dudes I've seen in person! Rollins spoke at my college graduation, such a great speech. I sold a book to Ted Nugent and he talked to me about the evils of the credit card industry. He paid in cash, of course.
Met uncle Ted back in Michigan in my high school days when he lived in Hanover Horton. Ran into him much later at my daughter's workplace in Waco TX. Such a cool down to earth guy, love him.

The way Henry feels about separating Nugent's music from his politics is the way conservatives feel about damn-near EVERY OTHER MUSICIAN.
Its not the politics, its the outtageous commentary. There are many many conservative musicians. But they dont act all crazy like Teddy

We saw KISS in Pittsburgh back in 1985 or 1986, with Ted Nugent as the opening act. Ted was AMAZING! Full of energy, one of the best shows I'd ever seen! Then KISS played their set; at the end, the lights went off and they left the stage, waiting for the crowd to cheer them back for an encore, but we all just got up and started leaving. The lights came back on, no encore, the show was over.
KISS are a clown group, just total fools. Gene Simmons sucks dik.
Saw the same tour at the Capitol Centre in Largo, MD (where Fed-Ex Field is now) and half of the crowd left after Ted finished his set.
These two doing a regular pod cast would be epic.
Both of them are so damn prolific and well spoken. I could listen to them all day!
Agreed.
Only if Uncle Ted was there too!
When I first came to know who Rogan was, I thought the guy was a goof. But, the more I was subjected to him through UFC and now this show, I find him to be really intelligent, articulate and has a great knack for chatting with people. Rollins is a legend. Larger than life personality.
Most people would agree, but most will never give Rogan a listen because of what the mainstream media has said about him. I hate the media.
Henry Rollins is such a thoughtful person, as in he really takes the time to elaborate his thoughts and feelings about a subject or person and he chooses the appropriate words to eloquently paint the full picture of what is on his mind. That is a quality that the world has been lacking since its inception and I wish more people would strive to be that way.
I would respect what he said here more if he reacted the same when when leftists CONSTANTLY call conservatives nazi's and white supremacists. That has the same effect on people as Nugent saying terrible things about Obama.

I hate fearing for the future of our country and the human race. But the problem is how many people have become SO extremist on BOTH sides.

Dont forget Henry that Detroit was also Motown, the home of Smokey Robinson, The 4 Tops, etc. IMHO Smokey was one of the greatest song writers of all time.
He was talking about guitar technique, not song writing.
And a band called death, get a clue.
He has routinely spoken on how great Motown was, too. In this specific case, he was talking about guitar players

@@sprtsmike80 Yup, I 2nd that!
Yup, GFR was way better than Nuge could ever hope to be. Farmer's tone, taste and use of dynamic range was a level above most 1970s generic rockers. Nothing fancy but he did it really well. Great voice too.
To be fair, ted was correct.
"He's just an interesting bunch of guys." Lol. I think that sums up Ted Nugent well. Sums up Henry too.
I saw that KISS tour too. I thought Ted was 10 times better.
I once saw Henry Rollins reading a book while waiting for a flight at the LAX airport. One person recognized him and said hi and shook his hand. He looked genuinely nice when meeting the guy.
I didn’t go up to him. Just passed by. Yup. That’s my Henry Rollins story. Seems nice.
Saw Henry speak years ago, and it's still one of my favorite performances ever. While he was funny, he was also very thought-provoking, which I'm certain was his intent. He's not only studious about the world around him, but in being acutely aware of our perception of it--and also of human nature--he's smarter than most of us in ways that "book smarts" can't measure.
One thing he said in particular has stuck with me:
_Now I might have you over for dinner, and we might disagree on a few things, but at least have _*_something_*_ to say and something that you believe in--don't make it a boring conversation_
I see a few comments about what a great guy he is in person, and they don't surprise me at all. He's humble, with a respect for all humans until they give him a solid reason to lose it--and even then he's still unwilling to write someone off as a total loss, based on a single incident. He's got the compassion to not thrive in proving someone wrong--but he's still got the integrity to be straightforward even when it hurts.
I doubt Henry Rollins would ever run for president, but I'd vote for him in a heartbeat.
Lol, read ALL od Art to choke hearts/pissing in the gene pool...
The reason Ted Nugent has that "steel trap" memory is because of all the brain cells he kept by never doing drugs or alcohol. But the other thing you need to know about Ted Nugent is he is also a long time friend of Wayne Kramer from the MC5--who is about as far on the political spectrum as he is--but the common denominator is music, and there are two things in American life that bring people together: Sports and music
Judging by the way local OSU fans treat Michigan University fans, sports dont bring anyone together any more than anything else.
Ted was on JRE and he admits he does drink alcohol.
@@al-bot1094 Okay--maybe it doesn't bring Auburn and Alabama fans together, or even OH State and Michigan fans together. But the analogy I was after was this. Say--you're a white Ohio State fan and you were ignorant about black people, didn't much care for them. But you know a black guy who is as crazy about the Buckeyes as you are. Your whole view of people from other races begins to change, and you begin to realize they're people just like you with the same interests and likes as you have. And then you come together

Ted Nugent is an accomplished musician and performer. His playing has been spot-on since the ‘70s. I just saw him last summer and it’s just him and a bassist and drummer! I think the bassist sang “Hey Baby”, Ted sang everything else. He’s got it down - doesn’t even look at the guitar any more. I just got so burned out on those songs, I can’t enjoy them any more, but his musicianship is top notch. (Hey, I can’t listen to “Stairway to Heaven” or “Sweet Home Alabama” any more, either even though those were great tunes.)
amen. My favorite band is Pink Floyd. I have hundreds of bootlegs and have heard just about every note they ever played that is available in the public domain. Having said that, I don't need to ever hear Dark Side of the Moon ever again. It's great...monumental even...but I'm so beyond burnt out on it.
Have you heard him today? He is so politically charged that his music takes a back seat. He makes his playing irrelevant to music because he focuses so much on politics and not practicing his guitar.

Henry: “Ted shouldn’t call Obama a sub human.”
Also Henry: “I’ll criticize any politician and call them an inactive waste of food.”
Tbf, I think when Ted does it it’s on a little more of a uh… “racial” basis perhaps? When Henry does it’s on the basis of hating all politicians regardless of color
We are all hypocrites.
And in Rollins mind,apparently critizing Obama is because he is black. Rollins is a liberal idiot.
slight difference between a politician being useless, and calling a politician out on them being a different colour
I would also add that if someone hears Ted say some outrageous comment and does some bad act afterwards, that person has the problem, not Ted.
Henry is great... Ted is great... a prime example of we can all have differences and still engage with positive intent.

Henry you sort of contradicted yourself. Ted shouldn't say something about a politician and it's okay for you to say something about a politician? Please elaborate.
I respect Henry’s perspective on holding your tongue.
"Control of yourself" what a concept. Great episode Joe
I was always a fan of Mark Farner's playing..another Michigan man.
Hiighway_Chile Grand Funk was one of the greatest bands of their time. Super underrated if you ask me, no one seems to remember much besides American Band.
Get the Funk Out! Love Farner!
@@TatersUnited Listen to their earlier stuff like their Live album with songs like TNUC, Heartbreaker, stuff they did before going commercial like Locomotion. Survival is a great disc too.
henry rules hes a national treasure.hung out with him in miami at the slam e o, in the 80s.he was a big fan of my friends band and was showing my buddies how to tweak things a little bit to get a better sound out of the amp.priceless times at that place.thanks henry and joe for making my day a little better
"Be careful what you say, because someone may punch some white guy in a parking lot!" Said absolutely no celebrity ever
Mark McGrath said that
He was in Black Flag when punk rock was dangerous. And he saw his best friend get murdered on the street. I think Henry has the cred here for sure
Anthony Bordain had much the same to say about him. We are many faceted creatures suffering from the human condition.
Marten Dekker Nugent. Bourdain had Nugent on No Reservations years back. It was a good episode.
Yup.
Ted even claims in that episode to have his first beer with bordain. Shiner bock
I remember my first beer...
Henry: I can’t believe what he said about Obama
Also Henry 2 minutes later: The only people I’ll ever take shots at are politicians
snowflakes excel at hypocrisy and double standards
TBF what Nugent said about Obama could be construed as straight-up white supremicist rhetoric.
@@larrydickman1094 uncle ted has said obummer is half white. you say he's black, but nuge has said he's white, so your premise is faulty
Taking a shot at a politician b/c of race is different than taking a shot at someone for their political beliefs.
@@Sinisterminister66 When did Ted Nugent take a shot at Obama's race? He called him a sub-human. Explain how that relates to his race.
I love Ted Nugent . He is a little crazy , but in a feeedom , don’t get in my way kinda crazy . He’s 70 something and can still jam and looks great because of his clean body lifestyle. I truly love it !!
He is also a don't get in my way kind of pedophile, by his own admission.
He molested kids and dodged the draft, what a guy!
Ted Nugent live is amazing!! Stranglehold hold live was unbelievable! Love him or hate him you can't look away!
Henry just said that Ted treats him great and has had some great conversations with him,
Same with Joe”.
So isn’t Ted just as cool ?
He obviously respects Henry’s personal political opinions .
People should actually NOT get too involved with themselves.
😂✌️
I love this view to be responsible for what you say. I try to say about others only what I would say were they right next to me.
I wish everyone on the internet was that way.
Drams O'Scotch liberal this liberal that lol
No you dont
I appreciate Ted's opinion just as many others everyone has their own personality some are more outspoken than others to each his own. I also was a huge fan of his back in the days, he was the Motor City Madman, what a performer
What a child rapist and draft dodger too!
The Nuge is Michigan treasure!
I pissed off a lot of my friends who were complaining about Ted on Facebook, by posting a video of him shredding with Damn Yankees. They had taken it beyond their distaste for his political views into the realm of, "and he sucks on guitar, too!" I'm like, compared to what?
Mad man from Detroit................... MY GOD MAN HE DRESSED LIKE TARZAN ON STAGE AND NAILED IT.
"this currency on outrageousness... " great phrase by Joe
Henry always crushes it! Such an interesting guy.
I’ve loved and respected Henry Rollins’ work for a long time. I never realized how humble he was though. He always had this tough guy air around him, but inside he’s a nice guy.
Hes a rabid communist like liberal
@@chancewilkins3320 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He’s actually the definition of humblebrag.
Nah. Humblebragging is more like saying ‘oh I’m just a hard-working caring m man of the people despite my incredibly wealthy background’
Nugent is legendary and unfiltered.
We need much more of that. Uncle Ted simply calls out b.s.
They always end-up preaching, that's how you recognize them.
Yep
Yeah whenever someone expresses an opinion I don't agree with they're obviously preaching.
@@matteframe Not exactly. You recognize a "preacher" to a sanctimonious tone, that clearly tells you what is right and what is wrong. It is not about a different opinion but rather about a righteous one. I am "righteous opinion" intolerant.
@@cizia69 Instead of running your mouth about people you disagree with being “wrong”, tell us what you think he’s wrong about. You want to hear the definition of sanctimonious, preaching and self righteousness? Listen to pretty much any liberal and liberal politician and the liberal media outlets. Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Adam Shitstain, Barack Obama....I could go on and on.
@@TheAxe4Ever My message was concise enough and I agree completely with the insufferable liberals that I have to deal with almost daily. My gripe was with the short bit regarding Ted's outburst, but after listening to it again I stand corrected, there was indeed almost no preaching. That being said, I found Rogan using too much of the liberal lingo and logic even if he pretends the opposite.
Jack White is another Detroit guy known for his guitar tone.
Good call dude! He is sick.
CANADIAN
Good point 👍🏻😀🇬🇧
I agree, Detroit has produced some mammoth musicians for sure.
Lmao ..ok...
Ted is a true American Rocker
I “met” him twice in 10 years. It’s a long story and I don’t type well. It is funny though. First was in a club he was playing. I walked out of the men’s room and was paralleling somebody who was also going towards the stage to check out the opener. We both stood there listening. I glanced over and thought that’s either Henry Rollins or his number one fan because he looks just like him down to the tattoos. I’d read his anthology by now and kinda knew how he was. We stood there for a while. I was the only person who recognized him, so I tried to play it cool plus I really didn’t want to bother him too much. I slowly sidestepped towards him and he was focused on the stage. One more sidestep, no movement. I leaned in to his ear and said, how’s it going? Without even moving or turning his head, he said Good! I sidestepped back to my original position and then he was getting spotted by more people who were much less cool about it than I was. HaHa! He left to go backstage with a pained look on his face. Second time was about 10 years later on his spoken word tour. Afterwards he was talking to a small group outside by the bus. I thought to myself, hey, he’s talking to people, maybe I can get in on it. I walked over and listened and waited till everyone was done to try my turn. I told him I had 2 books to recommend to him that I thought he might be interested in. I’d written down the books and the authors on a piece of paper that I handed to him. As I said this, he said Yeah? And took the paper. Somebody in his group got his attention so he left. That’s it! 2 words, 2 syllables in 10 years!
I think it’s funny. It’s one of my favorite Rock stories. You gotta love Henry!
I saw Ted at Cobo Hall in Detroit in the ‘70’s. He came out in a loin cloth and his Gibson Birdland guitar. John5 is from Detroit as well, another great guitar tone master.
At 7:24 Henry actually makes Ted's point.
I think that you got it Henry. Multiple personalities. With one Firmly in control. One that acknowledges the others. To himself.
TED IS NO BULLSHIT ! HE IS AN LEGEND !
WHOOPS...HE IS A LEGEND !!!
All Snowflakes love Ted.
He says whatever he wants!
B.S., and who you callin' a snowflake?
@@xxcoopcoopxx
@@kentborges5114 Don't get upset, Buttercup.
Keep to your negative self POOPCOOP !@@xxcoopcoopxx
I had a recording of Henry years ago talking about thin Lizzy. Wish I still had it. It was fantastic.
You should go on Ask Reddit forum on Reddit, someone prob has link.
Henry “I don’t believe in self Censorship but you should censor your self so other people don’t behave badly” Rollins
theres a difference between picking your words while being aware of how the effect the world around you and censoring. no need to be so simple minded
eric hooper he’s simply recommending that you think about what you are going to say and the effect your words will have. It’s called maturity and being intelligent.
Its about HOW you say it. Thats the point he was trying to make.
Context is everything. Don't play dumb, you're better than that.
I love both Henry and Ted, fan of both for years, but I am a little disappointed in Henry when he says he doesn't like that Ted said some nasty things about Obama. Later Henry goes on to say that he tries to be careful with what he says except when he's talking about politicians, then it's OK to say anything. Kind of hypocritical of Henry to blast Ted for it then claim he does it too.
I love Rollins deep affection for all types of music...
Every time I hear Henry Rollins speak, I walk away liking him a little bit more :-)
