@@netrioter He really cares, but he is also trying to be funny. Hence why he is laughing and why the audience is also laughing. Henry doesn't do "stand up" he does spoken word. Spoken word can be pretty much anything. It can be serious, it can be thought provoking, it can be funny. He tells stories and takes you on a journey. For these few minutes you ARE Henry as he encounters Sandwich guy.
He is a real dude! Took time after a show backstage to meet me and my friend and share a super random story about a cashier lady at CVS from earlier that day. LEGEND.
Holy shit, this is the guy that works at Dennys in Florida. Scary guy, very direct and to the point. He is very professional with his job like he is on parole from prison. Asks you how the food is and you're just nod your head and say the food was great!
I also like how Henry played into how he AND we make assumptions about people: Henry describes him as a scary-looking, hulking dude and even says he looks like the stereotypical meth-maker and it turns out the guy is just a regular guy who’s trying to get by on minimum wage. NOBODY tells a story like Hank.
***** Dude you have helped me so much, oh my god I wanted to hear the rest of his story but the video ended so i was like "FUCK" but you have another video right where he leaves off. Thank you for that, and putting it in the description. Thank you! :)
Henry Rollins is a prime example of how so many members of punk culture, especially in the early days, were wholly underestimated. The man is brilliant and deeply philosophical, yet still approachable and "real".
I would love to meet any of my influences and just thank them personally. So much out there if I would see Henry I would freak out. And calm myself to just thank the dude. All hard work really pays off.
Thankyou Henry, I'll make sure and order some fresh perspective next time I'm in subway. It comes from the most obscure places. I've got 3 beautiful girls whom are straight A-B honor roll and they absolutely respect & love there parents. I'm working one of those minimum wage jobs & constantly alocating & organizing where our money goes.But my problems are easy compaired to the subway guy.
I see a lot of negative comments on this video and two things come to mind 1. what the fuck are you doing watching this, 2. everybody seems to be missing the point.
I lived in Canada for a while and ended up sweeping in a factory on the night shift..So I know what you,re talking about. In the uk I was a college lecturer and touring musician. I moved back.
I could see that. He could probably get along with anybody since he's so we'll liked. Our national relations wood hopefully and finally settle down and improve.🤔
I remember Henry once saying in an interview that what drives him to do well in things like music and entertainment is knowing it can all end and he'll be back there. It's probably a little joke but also something he knows is a reality.
I don't want to put something on your feed man that you don't need, but I would like to see you react to this news story and get a quote. Please contact me.
MetallicBrony he doesn't have any band now, he says he believes he doesn't have anything worth saying in music any more. There are some versions of Black Flag that play sometimes, but Henry doesn't play with them because he doesn't want to live in the past: www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/artsdesk/music/2014/10/15/black-flags-henry-rollins-on-coming-up-in-the-d-c-punk-scene-and-the-future-of-rock/
dear god I love henry rollins
Goes from pure punk to comedy; the perfect person to listen to when you're dead inside and still an amazing human being
But he's not trying to be funny..he actually cares
Mr. Rollins is a very interesting person IMO. He’s always been a very intense performer, regardless what the medium is.

@@OpenMawProductions Sounds like the definition of 'stand up'.
Henry Rollins is an American treasure.
Enough said.
I've been watching Henry Rollins stand up and damn I hooked. I never knew he was so comedic.
Not stand up comedy....OBSERVATION.
Why would you stop the video right after he says, "and a few days after that..."? That's just mean.
Problem solved: watch?v=eTUxS8rKmj8
Thank you!
chode yea
chode You are so right! I want to know , WHAT HAPPENED?

Perspective and empathy are the greatest tools you can have to keeping it real and staying sane
Holy shit, this is the guy that works at Dennys in Florida. Scary guy, very direct and to the point. He is very professional with his job like he is on parole from prison. Asks you how the food is and you're just nod your head and say the food was great!
Man. I was really into that. Would have loved to have heard the rest.
I also like how Henry played into how he AND we make assumptions about people: Henry describes him as a scary-looking, hulking dude and even says he looks like the stereotypical meth-maker and it turns out the guy is just a regular guy who’s trying to get by on minimum wage.

Henry: It’s hard for me to paint with that broad brush
Also Henry: You have tattoos therefore you cook meth in hotel rooms
Big scary guys are generally big fucking teddy-bears.
I'd know. I am one.
I hope that guy's doing well now.
I work so hard too...much respect to all of you who struggle to make ends meet, but still are grateful 🙏
Dam the end of this got to me ...preach henry rollins
Who would have thought this dude was as articulate and funny as he was?
I can listen to Rollins talk...all. day. long. :D
i have a lot of respect for this guy... big influence by his music or the way he things
I want to play that xbox game he was talking about...
He basically just described Grand Theft Auto 3, Halo: Combat Evolved, Unreal Championship and Forza Motorsport combined.
***** Dude you have helped me so much, oh my god
I wanted to hear the rest of his story but the video ended so i was like "FUCK" but you have another video right where he leaves off. Thank you for that, and putting it in the description. Thank you! :)
Dave Stokes My pleasure :)
This Is The Man Who should of Played Negan on the Walking dead He looks and acts like him plain and simple
Henry Rollins is Negan
Krazy Hatter I think Jeffrey D Morgan does a great job but I agree Rollins would have worked just as well.
Krazy Hatter Negan was modeled after Henry
"sandwich constructioneer"
literally the life of a subway employee
No, no that's not what "literally" means. It's the exact opposite actually.

I can listen to him talk forever!
Only Henry can make an average day into an interesting story!

A true renaissance man
Guru Laghima would love this joke
*_The p o e t r y of G u r u L a g h i m a_*
Henry Rollins could be Phil Anselmo's re-hab therapist without being ripped in half... Only Henry Rollins and Chuck Norris could be that strong
Phil Anselmo funny enough actually looked up to Rollins
Henry Rollins would never befriend a nazi
This is just that henry rollins shit, a funny story with a deep, inportant message
Henry "f*ckin" Rollins makes a million sense
I lived in Canada for a while and ended up sweeping in a factory on the night shift..So I know what you,re talking about.
In the uk I was a college lecturer and touring musician. I moved back.
If someone intimidates Henry Rollins he is fucking terrifying
Henry for President, would 't that be something. Imagine that.
I could see that. He could probably get along with anybody since he's so we'll liked. Our national relations wood hopefully and finally settle down and improve.🤔
Hey man, thanks for taking the time to upload this. Really nice little story.
such an intelligent guy.
I like this dude.
i am not complaining, it was a great video, and thank you. but i would have loved to know how many sandwiches that guy made since henry met him (;
Man,Henry's a good dude .His perspective on daily life and ordinary people is boss.Henry and Seinfeld look deep for material huh?
Henrys the best! Could listen to him all day!
Great story, makes you thankful for your own life.
Rollins and my drama teacher would really get along.
Well said, Henry....well said.
I would have liked to of heard the rest of this.
Where the hell is the rest of this?
Maybe he owned the Subway franchise. Ever think of that?
a few days after that and!!!
I've seen this a million times before, but... why does it cut off just as he gets to the main punchline?
My life is similar, but without kids.
Hope you’re doing better 5 years later :)
Wtf!!! I hope the full standup is here somewhere..... It just broke in the middle of a sentence. What happened to the sandwich guy?
Nothing, it ends there.
ua-cam.com/video/eTUxS8rKmj8/v-deo.html
The stress-filled life of the working class stiff. You rob Peter to pay Paul.
Heavy stuff. And true.
Well Henry. I just saw you a week ago. Pretty sure this is going to last awhile.
Rollins for President
And a few days after that then what? What?! WHAT HAPPENED A FEW DAYS AFTER THAT?!?!?!?
ua-cam.com/video/eTUxS8rKmj8/v-deo.html
I wish I could get baked, and taste a unicorn sprinkled with rainbows.
That's the most Buddhist thing ever. Understanding that everyone is fighting their own battle, always.
I wonder how Rollins in his prime, The Violent bully in black flag would react with this sandwich guy
Sandwich Guy would rip him in half..Henry is only 5 foot 8 in his prime. If sandwich Guy is 6 foot 2...dead Henry
sounds like a long lost crustpiratemetalveganrainbowbearddiplomatmethlordhighwayman #awesome
#vwundervwagon!
That's deep man
Henry Rollins - Provoked part 4 of 14 has the whole.. (starts 13)
such an awesome description of the subway guy , like that was a novel quality description
way to leave us hanging
Anyone know where I can find a transcript of this? I'm thinking of transcribing it myself, but the work has to be done somewhere already.
No part II?!
The story actually ends there.
yeah I'm digging rollins
he was on the show sons on anarchy
Maybe we (or he) got it wrong. Perhaps he could be a force behind the scenes.
3 minutes into part 4 of Provoked
Who's got this whole video ?????? Tell me now!!!
Deeper than average Hank ✊✊✊
@ 2:40 sounds like phil Anselmo.
I almost died laughing throughout the video XD
Well - I understand how hard it is for guys.......oh and how it cuts out just when
Ray Lehto I see what u did there
hahaha i mght just be in love with sandwich guy
2:00 scarred the hell out of me LOL
4:52 Before your 60 it's where your going back to - yeah sure you will Henry, pretty unlikely.
I remember Henry once saying in an interview that what drives him to do well in things like music and entertainment is knowing it can all end and he'll be back there. It's probably a little joke but also something he knows is a reality.

what happened to the punk rock?
why is he not playing with black flag but instead doing stand up?
MetallicBrony Greg Ginn who founded Black Flag broke up the band 20 years ago
why cant he make a new band? or just get someone new in black flag?
MetallicBrony Well Henry did, he had Rollins Band.
MetallicBrony he doesn't have any band now, he says he believes he doesn't have anything worth saying in music any more.

90 people who never had to work there ass off to survive disliked this video!
try amazon. "provoked", I think it is.
4:58 luckily it did
I really wanna play that game Rollins is refering to.
You'll never have a better Subway sandwich than the one you make yourself. Kinda ruins it after you stop working there lol.
you know...he reminds me of george carlin a little bit with his comedy haha, hes as good of a comedian as he is a musician
dude wtf man. i wanted to see the rest.
Ace.
Well, seeing as how he's a storyteller and not a comedian, your little analysis is completely irrelevant. But hey, thanks for playing.
Serai3 Who are you talking to?
@@sambaker734 Comment from 7 years ago before the reply system was implemented.
MrGrifft Oh ok thanks Lol
@@sambaker734 Yeah, I have no idea anymore who this was directed at. :)
I see it as comedy too it’s spoken word but his stuff better than some of this mainstream crap we get these days.
nice
Why upload half the story??
How can you tell it's only half, if that's all you've heard?
wow, change it from the sandwich guy to guy on disability trying to streatch his income to cover new wife and you got me.
Take a deep breath, chu workin too hard Hank.
Hardcore parenting is never easy.
HENRY ROLLIN'S ON SANDWICH GUY AKA HIMSELF IN BETWEEN DAVID LETTERMAN
& WILL SMITH IN A QUEEN SIZED BED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh please, Black Flag are awesome and he is fucking hilarious.
I fuckin love this dude. No homo XD
