  • Such an iconic song of the 90s, Liar by the Henry Rollins has a message that is still applicable today and maybe more. Our audience was really excited for Alexis to hear this and here is a spoiler, she loved it. She could identify with the theme and tells of how it happened to her.

      Oh this brings back memories. I was with RCA when this was released. One of my best friends at the time was the Regional Promotions Manager for Imago, the label Henry was signed to at the time. Imago was founded by Terry Ellis had been with Chrysalis before hand.

      Not just daughters (but definitely daughters). I think the way Rollins lays it out provides a great example for anyone who will really listen: Do not fall for what he’s talking about, and do not _be_ what he’s talking about.

    Try "Tearing" from The End Of Silence, very high energy. The stuff on his face in this video would likely be ash as he comes back from "Hell" into "Real", getting sootier and dirtier every time. The album version of this song is a little longer with slightly different lyrics; there's a live version at an English festival where instead of the regular intro he basically gaslit most of the audience to amuse himself ("I'm the guy with the mic, and way louder than all of you").

    She was actually blown away by it and i let henry play the roll of my ex .
    My psycho is still stalking me 5 years after we spilt and im working on me now , not him thanks to this song/ vid clip as my ex psycho wants to make sure i will never move on but I'm doing the work and old punk chicks have a bit more steel to them.. I'll be fine.
    Rollins nailed what its like to be in a covert nasscistic abusive relationship, right down to the love bomb stage at the start.
    Sadly this song is more relevant in this day and age than when it was released and there is alot of the younger generation can take from this.
    The world has become more nasisitic as a whole since the threat of being knocked out for being an asshole has become "so un woke" .
