Haha, he does look like Jim Carrey. Well, I think it's his PTSD from having his friend/room mate being shot behind his back and being held at gun point.
+Roman Fox I didn't know he has PTSD. I have PTSD and it's hard to find someone who has PTSD and didn't get it from being in a war. I often times feel alone and that no one would understand me even if I say I have it. When people do find out I have PTSD they just assume I'm a war veteran.
WHY? He didn't say shit. He doesn't know but one or two items he chose. What a farce. Go listen to the other what's in my bag. Fucking sheep making comments abut how great this is and a great review he does. Mind you I am not criticizing BLACK FLAG-SO SHUT THE FUCK UP - Just this "WHATS IN MY BAG?" SO STFU! IDIOTS
Who has liked him in the last thirty years? He was cool in Black Flag but from my memory after that he just became nothing. I remember so many ridiculous things about him over those decades and he's just dumb and a jerk.
Out of all the what's in my bags, Henry Rollins and Eric Andre are the 2 I would like back on the show. Both have are interesting people with eclectic taste. Don't get me wrong, I love how an artists describes their favourite smiths record but I want unearthed gems
dont get people complaining about artists being "snotty". i found tons of new great music through whats in my bag videos. dont really wanna see records ive already listened to
I would assume it's because music is subjective and people get defensive of their opinions. Just like it's rare for someone to admit when you've changed their mind, it's rare for a lot of people to say they got into a group they didn't like for one reason or none.
He had/has pretty severe ADHA (was one of the first kids ever put on ritalin in the US) so I think he tries to keep his brain distracted/entertained (without using drugs).
@@neal1692 i honestly don't know hkw to describe it, other than people who think liking weird shit nobody's ever heard of makes them unique and a lot better than everyone else. They love Henry's spoken word for example, because it's pretty easy to relate to, it's angry as fuck, and it hates everyone including himself. They don't understand that most of it is written to people like themselves, because he really fuckings hates them. If you remember the "emo" people of the mid 2000's, it's just the same as that just a whole lot worse
@@p.haugen7565 I don't really think Henry is a hipster, he has shown love for underground and mainstream music alike and whenever he talks about more obscure musicians he says they're "just as good" and not "better" than perhaps your Spice Girls or Britney Spears and to add onto that he says he has no problem with the mainstream stuff because it's just fun and that's all its trying to be
This reminds me of years ago when Henry played some very cool songs on the radio by a band I knew but I didn't know or have those particular songs or recordings he was playing. (hint, they're from a Nordic country, they had two different names at different periods, they did a great Roky Erickson cover and Lydia Lunch recorded a song with them) These recordings were part of a very extensive, out or print, box set and I was instantly hooked. I want that music bad but it's somewhat rare and quite expensive and I didn't have the dough. Anyway, I wrote Henry an email to thank him for turning me on to this music and I think I made a joke playing off something he said on air to the effect of "if I could nod my head and make __________ happen...". Henry replied with a nice note. He also included a digital download link of the entire box set! Wow!! Dude!!! Incredibly generous. Thank you!!! As I saw it Henry was lending me those records and that should only be temporary. Eventually I got the money and I wanted to do the right thing and buy that box set proper so I'd have the physical media in my hands and not feel like we might have done something less than totally correct. So I went to Discogs, I located a seller in Europe and I bought it at last. It was an arm and a leg to buy--for me anyway. I don't remember how much now but that's not what's important and that's the point I'm driving at. What's important... what I do appreciate and I will always remember is I have that music in my library now, Henry turned me on to it and let me 'borrow it' so to speak. That's what's in my bag. Thank you, Henry. Fanatically...
I went into Amoeba my first time in Los Angeles 4 years ago. That place is incredbile! I was in heaven. So many albums of of every kind. I wish they had one in Manhattan.
The one thing that has been consistent for years is Rollins never has an uninteresting suggestion for music or books, he to this day will show you stuff you've never heard of that is always interesting or intense. Hats off!
This man is a walking, talking music encyclopedia. Does psa's for the local collage when they do fund raisers for the school radio station. Why? Because he loves music. Period.
Love this. What an inspiring man! While I loved his work with music, I still have the spoken word LP where he goes on about the PMRC. Brilliant. Thanks for sharing his personal musical selections.
The man is a proper bona fide genius. It's a big claim of course, but all ANY of you need to do so you know that I can say so is to watch the man being the lead singer for the ruts in the commemorative / benefit gig for my mate, yeah my mate Paul Fox and you'll see what I mean. Regards from Watford, Hertfordshire, England. Rock on Mr. Rollins, your job was fuckin fantastic.
I knew about the Neubauten tattoo but I had no idea he was this much of an experimental music wonk. Heck, when I talk about the Chondritic sound label at industrial clubs, most people don’t know what I’m on about..!
My favorite series ever! Amazing opening. I make all those faces and often laugh looking through stacks. If Mr Rollins does too …. Well now i feel cool! Need to get back to your stores soon!
One thing is, Rollins pretty much already has all the music that isn't obscure. I'm sure it's somewhat difficult for him to find stuff he wants that he doesn't have. Like me with video games.
In the early 80s right after Henry joined black flag, I was in a record store in Long Beach California called Zed records And I kept hearing this guy go, “ this is a great freaking album.” I looked and it was henry Rollins, I recognized him by a picture on the cover of Bam magazine. I walked up to him and he started recommending albums to me to buy. He picked out damned damned damned by the damned in machine gun etiquette. I bought them both.
Henry Rollins is one MY favourite punk rockers and it's fascinating how eclectic his music taste is which encourages me to be eclectic where i miss John peel
The more robust or antiquated version of the medium, the more intimate the musical experience becomes with the artwork, liner notes, the labor of playing the device of the medium . Mp3s take the intimacy out of music listening experience, its too convenient. I grew up in the 90s' so I can totally attest to this.
This guy made the the most sick hard rock/punk ever. Rollins band was GREAT ! Saw them twice in Philly. Place went nuts. Look up the album Weight . Ridiculously good
I am 47 and I am doing (not meant to be a plug) p90x. I don't need to be a power lifter, but I do need core strength, I do need cardio, and I need to prevent muscle atrophy. Henry looks in great shape for 50+!
Noise is a genre that’s hard for me to get into past tim hecker, I totally respect it and get the appeal honestly it just spiked my anxiety too much if I listen to it for too long and I have a decently high tolerance for “hardcore” music in general and avant garde stuff but I just can’t personally listen to some of it but it’s weird because I love some of Tim heckers albums so maybe I just need to look in different places
I'm not the only one still buying cds instead of vinyl. Though I would like to get some things on vinyl for sure, but there's never anything wrong with a cd! You can at least play it outside of your bedroom, or wherever your record player is.
Rollins is super awesome. He made some really cool videos with BigThink where he came off as super intelligent, i didn't really expect that (no offense), but it made me dig him!
I wish he had a youtube series where he simply teaches us about music he likes.
He has a podcast and maybe what you said gets mentioned or "overlaps" in there
Not UA-cam, but: www.kcrw.com/music/shows/henry-rollins
He has a great radio show at kcrw it's really good
He's also done an annual radio show for Radio Helsinki in which he plays his record collection and talks about the artists. Fantastic stuff!
That's pretty much all of his videos
Henry Rollins is a great example of how a punk legend can live past 50 without self destructing or becoming a joke
+Turtle is as Turtle Does I wonder what's his secret to keeping his edge without chemical aid. Just healthy living?
+noisyturtle Yeah he's straight edge and I don't think he eats meat.
gym and no drugs, he eats meat
He said on his website that he is a pescetarian (the only meat he eats is seafood)
He didn't become a joke because he always was one.
Rollins loves music. I love that about him. He is a rare, special, contradicting, talented, and strange dude.
Henry is one of a few 'what's in my bag' guest who was buying entirely new music (to him) rather than talking about his faves.
Henry Rollins looks like a football coach.
He can Coach me!!;}
Hahahaha
More like a drill sergeant lol
A really hard football coach
@@desie7e535 lmao
henry rollins alway looks so worried
Haha, you are right.
Haha, he does look like Jim Carrey.
Well, I think it's his PTSD from having his friend/room mate being shot behind his back and being held at gun point.
After what hes been through I wouldn't be surprised.
+Roman Fox I didn't know he has PTSD. I have PTSD and it's hard to find someone who has PTSD and didn't get it from being in a war. I often times feel alone and that no one would understand me even if I say I have it. When people do find out I have PTSD they just assume I'm a war veteran.
Mary Hughes has been a long time to dwell some more details later
They should have him do this once a month.
Yes! Once a week would be even better.
He would show up to the third session with a .45 ready to gun down everyone

Rollins always looks like he is one wrong look from kicking someone’s ass
I know! lol
theres a picture of him working at a haagen daas somewhere. funny crap.
It's those eyebrows
Matt Maki He always looks extremely on guard around women. I think he once said he was molested by a woman as a child.
Robgoren I know Kieth Morris was, you could be mistaking him for Henry.
It must be insane to go record shopping and see one of the most legendary figures in punk just strolling around, looking like a maniac.

That is some abstract taste in music. No wonder he seems pissed off all the time.
bahahahaa thats a fkn miralcle of a comment
How is that a bad thing,lol
The "abstract taste in music" I mean.
Hell, he's wearing a DEVO shirt so that'd tell you where he's at.

"There are two kinds of people: those who get Devo, and those who don't." ~ Henry Rollins

Love the Devo shirt! They are so underrated within the punk community..
You had to know a J. Mascis/Dinosaur jr. album would end up in his bag!
Love this. What an inspiring man! While I loved his work with music, I still have the spoken word LP where he goes on about the PMRC. Brilliant. Thanks for sharing his personal musical selections.
The intro to 6 pack always gets me going, doesn't matter what's going on
3-inch bonus CD-R
Sold him some cds back in 2000 ish at Tower records in london

Bought lots of jazz music

Kaoru Abe. Phenomenal player no doubt about it
Nice one Henry, never knew of Hive Mind and the stuff is excellent.
that jokers record sounded sick. All sound like great choices. I would expect no less from motherfuckin' Henry Rollins
I knew about the Neubauten tattoo but I had no idea he was this much of an experimental music wonk. Heck, when I talk about the Chondritic sound label at industrial clubs, most people don’t know what I’m on about..!
Cool dude. Met Hank a couple of times in 80's during one of his Rollins Band tours.
Me too. He was incredibly nice to me. I like him a lot
My favorite series ever! Amazing opening. I make all those faces and often laugh looking through stacks. If Mr Rollins does too
…. Well now i feel cool! Need to get back to your stores soon!
Interesting selection Mr. Rollins. Thanks Amoeba.
I fucking love that store.
Finally a good episode 👍🏻 normally don’t recognize most of the peeps on here
Keep Rolling Along Rollins you are a Good Guy
I'm from Iran and I've never heard about the jokers band,I should check them out too
love your t-shirt henry - go DEVO !!!
Fun fact: Hive Mind (aka Greh) is the guy who runs Chondritic Sound, great f/cking taste dude
I love this man.
I love hearing Henry talk about his interest 🥺
I friggin love Henry's taste in music! His radio show on KCRW is a fantastic 2 hour experience every Sunday night.
i think this is the best "what's in your bag". this guy has a genuine love and support for experimental music artists
Love how he is wearing a devo shirt
what a perfectly wonderful weirdo haha
One thing is, Rollins pretty much already has all the music that isn't obscure. I'm sure it's somewhat difficult for him to find stuff he wants that he doesn't have.
Like me with video games.
these videos are schooling me big time, love em
Awesome, we learn a lot researching and producing them too. Thanks for watching!
Am I the only one who started listening to chondritic sound because of this video
Wow, what a great person to interview for this. Have to check out that Hive mind guy.
Legend! Nuff said!! He should be president!!
Amoeba music! I loved that place when I went to Los Angeles.

He shops for music just like I do! Buying CD’s of artists I like or that just look cool.
I'm impressed with Henry's grasp of many music artists around the world.
A living legend dropping some knowledge!!
He's the most INTENSE shopper ever
I can just imagine him...."I have a COUPONNNNNN!!!!!"

accept the noise, embrace the noise, feed off the noise, become the noise
One of the most badass dudes on the planet!
Back in the day, when Henry Rollins didn't have any problem with compact discs..

I'm so glad to know that he likes a variety of different kinds of music.
These would be more interesting if they were the artist's favourites and recommends.
The best picks I've ever seen on this series
