Well, this interview has to be at least 20 years old. So, it wasn't that long after the '90s when it took place, and I'm going to go out on a limb and hazard a guess as to the approximate date being some time in the late '90s, due to the fact that his hair is still full-colored with little to no gray showing. By contrast, by the time he started doing his show on IFC network back in the mid-late 20-aughts, he already had a significant amount of gray in his hair Also, just because someone is very muscular doesn't necessarily mean that they're a 'roidhead. I'm not saying that he absolutely isn't one, but it would go against the straightedge ethos that he and his DC hardcore punk scene friends embraced and espoused, and Henry has always struck me as someone who not only talked the talk but definitely walked the walk. Through proper dieting and exercise, it is possible to look like Rollins without cheating by using PEDs, but you have to be dedicated and committed to the lifestyle
A comedian in the uk, who is a musician as well. He broke down one of their songs to show how bad U2 are. None of the band can play, they are dreadful.
I paid $130 for middle row seats in LA during their 2015 tour. During their Joshua Tree tour in 1987 they literally charged 5 bucks a ticket. You have no idea what you're talking about and just go off what other people say. Meanwhile Taylor Swift's charging THOUSANDS for nosebleed tickets. Yeah...U2's "rich people music."
@@miltonbuu their tickets were reasonably priced lmao, tha f!ck u on about😂. Go watch drake, that f&ckr charges like a thousand for a ticket, same with Taylor swift. What artist do u think isn’t rich people music, whatever the fuck that means😂
Sorry what are you talking about every punk band ever has always claimed they are the exclusive true punk band; everybody else is just a poser. that's what being a punk band is
Henry and Bono are cut from the same irritating, critical and narcissistic cloth. An old disgruntled, jealous punk rocker who sold 12 records, 10 of which were purchased by me
Which one riff? Where The Streets Have No Name? I Will Follow? Sunday Bloody Sunday? New Year's Day? (Oh wait that has a piano in it as well) Beautiful Day? The Fly? Zoo Station? Mysterious Ways? Bullet The Blue Sky? Like A Song? Seconds? Zooropa? What about Lemon? Breathe? All of these songs sound nothing alike.
@@Shr00b you do realize a riff can sound different, right? Oh, guess not. Example: Pink Floyd's The Wall has a common riff Gilmour plays on numerous songs, all slightly different sounding to the point most ppl don't pick it up until it's pointed out. Imagine that.
@@paulrupright4694 i beg to differ, i saw him in chicago at the aragon ballroom from the second level in the back n it was still painful to get thru. I think i dissociated thru the majority of it jst to mentally detach me from the pain. :)
@@dgulag3733 oh of course, by no means am I gonna jump on the bandwagon and praise Black Flag as the king bee, but Black Flag still had a huge impact on the Cali scene. Fear was always, and will always be my favorite so yeah I think there's better bands than Black Flag but I still love them for what they did.
*do it* is still one of my favourite pieces of vinyl. someone in the band scratched into the inside groove the hotel & room number they were staying in on one side & "square wheel rolling" on the other side.
@@livinghere1972 taste for a singers voice is subjective. Rollins was literally picked from a crowd to finish a set for black flag at a show. That’s how he was discovered. This clown sack said Rollins is a poser. I beg to differ
Lol ole Henry …all kidding aside I heard there were some issue with record label back in 80s . Ever since then he has been talking out of his arse. It’s kinda a funny.
I don’t care about U2 one way or the other, but Henry Rollins is really gross. Fake then and fake now. He outed himself when he flipped his script and started acting ‘nice’ because his old attitude no longer sold tickets. When he talks about where he lived, all you hear him mention is Compton, or and how he rejected a cosy domestic life in a Venice beach apartment because he was too hardcore. Meanwhile in reality, he recently put his 3.9 million dollar designer house on the market. It’s in a gated celebrity compound in the Hollywood Hills. The most disgusting hypocrisy of his shtick is how he shits on the whole world for not being as ‘real’ as him. He was never what he pretended to be. He was a private school kid who pretended to be working class. He was a rich guy playing poor. A Hollywood businessman playing punk. A chronic complainer who couldn’t take criticism. An arbiter of realness who was a fake. As for Bono, at least he knows he’s an insufferable cheesball poser, and doesn’t go around trying to point that finger at others. The truth is, Henry is just a grown man who monetised having a tantrum that lasted decades. I have to admire the hustle, but his hypocrisy is far less impressive.
I had a girlfriend who’s family loved U2 and I agree with Henry about the band so when I would come over and U2 be playing they change it because they knew I didn’t like them and sometimes I would say: “Aw U2 can hate U2 too” 😅
To be honest i don't have a problem with howard stern. I love henry rollins he is a very well spoken person and smart person no one is always right but no one is always wrong either so yeah
Henry isn't while Bono is I mean Bono was in South Park as a joke and Henry Rollins wasn't so yeah that just shows you how much of a joke that Bono is and how much of a joke that Henry isn't
I think about this statement every time I hear a U2 song. U2 beats sound so fucked up to me now. Like what the fuck is going on in "I still haven't found what I'm looking for"?
Oh come on. I'm not a U2 fan by any means, but I've played drums for over 20 years and I think their drummer has some decent grooves. Maybe he's not tight live or something, I wouldn't know.
@@Master_of_Critique lmao speaking of Zimbabwe i bought a stack of Zimbabwe 100 trillion notes like 10 years ago and i am regularly selling single notes on ebay for 200$ each. it pays to invest in Zimbabwe.
I like Henry. But he is a character, not a musician. Here he just sounds like a bitter old man, or a wanna-be teenager. I am sure this clip is from some time ago, wonder if he has still held onto his immaturity or has grown up.
Henry took over for the original singer of Black flag. He is a great actor. He was best at playing the part of that angry singer in Black flag. He created nothing original. He is a fraud. Now don't get me wrong, I've seen him many times. He is great at what he does, no doubt about it. But years later I'm still appreciating U2 records. And yes, Bono was a little ridiculous back during the Joshua tree years. But oh my, does that music strike a deep chord inside of me.
My favorite thing about Henry is that throughout his entire career he puts out an equal number of Incredible and absolutely dogshit takes at an unbelievable frequency. This is one of his better takes
Hes spot on, U2 are so overrated, add to this Bono jetting round the world in his sunglasses meeting the Pope like hes the ultimate statesman. I mean why is he so well connected?
Henry looks like a pissed off college student from the mid 90s in this interview
He looks like it here, but he sounds like it everytime he has a microphone in front of him.
We call the Bro punk. Too many steroids and time at the gym. I agree with this statement Henry said but bro, lay off the roids. Old now. You don’t have to beat up little literal punks off stage like you once were. You can’t be the front man of black flag and not be beefed.
That was a shitty thing of him to say, considering his friend got shot next to him

@@FrenchieBelegit86753 what a stupid comment
I'd like to hear his honest opinion, without holding back.
Hahaha. Awesome.
Exactly. I mean stop beating around the bush and tell us how you feel.
One thing about Henry is he always sugar coats things
He's too nice.
😂.
The only person worse than Bono is Howard Stern
Never understood why people glommed on to that baritone windbag.

That’s funny and dead on accurate. The other two were purchased by my friend who played them for me 34 years ago when we were getting high.
Truth
Your closing phrase was classic. Thanks for the LOL.
A dig worthy of Rollin’s charisma well done
Well said
Waking up to find their songs automatically downloaded onto my iPod and me immediately deleting them 💀 IYKYK
He's not wrong about The Edge. Give him credit though, he's made a fortune on the one riff.
Rumor has it he is still stomping those pedals and holding that riff.

You guys should do a GG Allin episode.

@@rocketsauce420 Haha that's the best summation of him I've heard
@@viktorhardindyrvold4234sprayed shit like a hippo 😂
I think it’s safe to say he’s not a fan.
Tbh I never realized the quality of U2’s drumming being so low, but it really is
I agree but that's a tough question: Who would you think is better? Just asking.
I honestly have always felt the same way. He just put words so eloquently and articulated how I feel about U2😅
Don't think that is a good reason to wish somebody's life shortened
He couldn’t hate him more than all of us from his hometown 😂🇮🇪
Speak for yourself!!
He gives the Irish a bad name
Stern and Rollins stink too, but I agree with them here
Rollins has a reason to be successful at least. Black Flag is great. Try again.

And iTunes want to shove their song down the world's throat
Henry rollins look like a real life woody the cowboy
Early Bono would be completely beside himself with the Bono of today. That’s the absurd part of it
ALL THAT YOU CANT LEAVE BEHIND saved my life, it’s scripture to me ❤️
That's lame as fuck
You have my sympathy. I'd puncture my own eardrums if I were you...
Henry has been downhill since his cameo in heat
He's not an actor..........
God bless you henry!!! . . . The man speaks the truth.
I would like to see his life shortened 😂
Rollins is the Bono of people that think doing things won't make a difference.
Henry's music is lame af, let's be honest. He's a one hit wonder and barely that. The song sucked, it was just goofy at the right time
*do it* is still one of my favourite pieces of vinyl. someone in the band scratched into the inside groove the hotel & room number they were staying in on one side & "square wheel rolling" on the other side.
No they didn't. That's how the pressing is.
dude
all of what you said is literally what the early punk bands are
Rollins is awesome
I always thought it was stupid when bands start using one word monikers like Bono and Edge.
Ah no where near as bad as Slash, Cher, Prince, Bjork, Beck, Neyo, Dido, Seal, Desree, Lorde, Akon, Adele...
@@seanbrogan8667 aren't those actual names? and not made up?
