Circle One were awesome. I listened to Patterns Of Force many times in the 80s, 90s, and I still listen to them every now and then. Mike Vallejo was a great guitarist and composer. Very underrated. John's vocals are unique also.
My old/current band Non Tolerance supported Circle One at Spankys in Riverside with the Melvin's opening in 91 or 92. This was John's very last show and last night alive as he was murdered by police the next day. A huge interesting presence he was.
When he heaved someone over a railing severely injuring them, that's a bit worse than simple assault. Once you enter that level of crime and delusional state, and then come at a LEO with bad intent, sorry, you get what you get.
Dude, this is the third stand up of yours I have listened to and have been just geeking me out. With that, You sound and look dam near identical as my good friend nate. Same Enthusiastic action packed story telling . Good stuff man!!! And sorry about your pal.
Henry... Thanks 👍 For your honesty.... I'm sure John's is smiling down , on you for always keeping it real, he always spoke highly of you and appreciated your friendship 🤙 Cheers 🍻
By the way I feauted your uncle on my black history of rock n roll series I know hes afroboriqueno. I thought i would cover him plus in a circle one fan as well
John Macias was a great man love and respected him very much I don't like the way Rollins dist John's family but that was a long time ago I don't think Ron's should even speak his name in disrespect like he does but whatever John is twice the man that Henry Rollins is
0:50 ".. bench press Buicks?..." 😀 ..."...Robo-Punk..."...Big Green Monster..."...🤣🤣🤣 All kidding aside, haha 😄, sorry, This is what any individual can become, especially,...if you Stay Sober,...🤣🤣🤣 ...for the most part,...☻️
John Macias came off as a right wing or libertarian, anti-communist/anti-leftist Christian punk. Antifa would label him a Nazi if he was still alive. The lyrics of Circle One have anti communist songs and pro Christian songs.
I love rollins story telling but hes defending a dude that threw a random guy off a pier that could have easily died, punched a girl in the face,proceeded to pull someone out of their car and then walked towards police. This is all in Henrys words. I cant back this shit. Shooting seems very justified.
Yea one cop shooting a mentally unstable guy who’s off his meds rather than I don’t know call for back up and restrain him is justified. This is what’s wrong with the world, screw the mentally Ill, kill them all. That’s your message.
Henry is just out of place on a stage without a band. He seems lonely. I wish everyone would just get over their bullshit & Rollins would get back in Black Flag. At least for a tour. Mike Vallely is good, but nowhere close to as good as Rollins.
rollins talks all over about Macias' death and how he "knew him 11 years" Well he was asked by the Macias family if he would make some statement in a little documentary about John they want to make and rollins answered, "I didn't know him that well" and would n't do it but he USES John's death in his freak show
in my country before reachin minite 3 he will be blown up in stolen shoes man... how they wait that much in a concert?.. that was a stand up show of bullshit hahaha
Not a cop lover, but what did this guy just do??? And what was he doing when the pig showed up? Yeah, six times was too much, but too bad the cop didn't know that John was really a decent guy... right? Come on.
sudaev I watched this video 3 times and nowhere does he even remotely suggest it was the cops fault so either you didn't watch the video or you're just an idiot who assumes everyone like Henry simply hates all cops.
Oh man this is one of my favorite spoken word performances by Henry. Fucking classic!
This one and the ticket story in England
@@davestuddaman8127 “too much decoration, man…”😁

rest in piece! John Macias!
don’t think that peace would last long with him around lol
Did you not hesr what the loser did yo multiple people? Dam you losers reslly defend those wastes of life lmao

He wasn't murdered by police. He asked for it and attempted to murder several innocent people.
Do you remember “highway patrolman”?😁

@@mhsandifer You're missing the mental illness equation part. Best wishes.
@@mhsandifer agreed. an unfortunate loss nevertheless.

Holy shit. I just realized the Joe that Henry is talking about I Joe Cole, who died shortly after this.
I always come back to hear about this legend of the west
There should be a full documentary on this John Macias
Best stand up I’ve seen in years

best eulogy ever
I was still in high school when I got to catch Circle One at Fenders Ballroom.
Oki dog was Awesome!
Pastrami burritos were killer.
So was the fried egg sandwich.
R.I.P. John Macias
One thing most of us can do is just feed someone. No one should have to go to bed hungry.
Henry... Thanks 👍 For your honesty.... I'm sure John's is smiling down , on you for always keeping it real, he always spoke highly of you and appreciated your friendship 🤙 Cheers 🍻
9:14 Love that "The Chase" Reference
R.I.P.🙏 you are Missed 👊
How does Circle One not have a Wikipedia page?
John still missed RIP
Anyone else pooping while watching this?
I’ve seen this story dozens of times.
Doesn’t make it end any better.

RIP Angel AMEN Philadelphia USA 🇺🇲❤️☦️🙏😇❤️💋🩰
You are a gem Henry 💋.
Helluva story.
RIP JOHN!!!!
Here's to John
Ya know, this is quite a sad story about mental illness, and the fact that the L.A punk scene at the time was fucking dangerous.
Dude! You forgot to mention that Henry was in Rollins Band!
You were in Rollins band, mate, if anyone was...
Is that john macais from another state of mind
That’s my uncle and that’s who I’m named after
RIP to your uncle
By the way I feauted your uncle on my black history of rock n roll series I know hes afroboriqueno. I thought i would cover him plus in a circle one fan as well
The first few sounds effects
haha
When the family was around or at shows john would put that shit on hold we controlled the night
Where is the John Macias documentary on Netflix?
Henry discribed how he fronted Black flag. John would just stand there froze in a posse lol
John Macias was a great man love and respected him very much I don't like the way Rollins dist John's family but that was a long time ago I don't think Ron's should even speak his name in disrespect like he does but whatever John is twice the man that Henry Rollins is

That hurt 😞
Circle one? They get that name from The Germs?
Yes, the guitarist Mike Vallejo liked the song and decided to use it for the band's name
Imagine John Macias vs GG Allin
John invented GTA V RIP legend. I’ll go get sum pigs as Trevor at the pier in your memory big dog 🙏
Wish John would of gotten help for his condition...where were his friends?
The first words of the video
What spoken word is this from?
I dont know how I feel about it. Jon was out of pocket

maybe maybe maybe he was independent thinker have you ever though of it ?
@@pedrocardiel1026 I am too.
It was a different time .
How old is this
@@XGRIMYONEXthis was 1993
@ thanks. So this event was fresh right there. His friend Joe who he was speaking of was also killed.

yup. plus every other story you hear about these guys, the whole circle one gang is - to put it mildly- rather nasty.
he got what was coming to him.
Yea one cop shooting a mentally unstable guy who’s off his meds rather than I don’t know call for back up and restrain him is justified. This is what’s wrong with the world, screw the mentally Ill, kill them all. That’s your message.
John Macias had bipolar?
I think he was on meds

Mike mentioned they were doing that documentary what happened to that that's messed up now that I know that .. I'm not too fond of Rollins like that
in my country before reachin minite 3 he will be blown up in stolen shoes man... how they wait that much in a concert?.. that was a stand up show of bullshit hahaha
l.a. cops don't mess around
Fuck em
So this nutt trys to kill a lady and a guard! Then a car jacking. Then attacks a cop! Hmmmmm
No big loss.
Yeah it is fucked up that he went on that rampage. Thankfully he was put out of commission before he could destroy any other people's lives.
Not a cop lover, but what did this guy just do??? And what was he doing when the pig showed up? Yeah, six times was too much, but too bad the cop didn't know that John was really a decent guy... right? Come on.
Did they have taser guns back then?
Fuck cops
@Tyrone Koumoundouros Take it easy dude, drink some orange juice with mushrooms
@@manasescepeda5240 Tasers don’t work.
I bet henry wears a fake dog tag at home
Why?
Yeah only in the tortured mind of Henry Rollins, is it the cop's fault.
:facepalm:
sudaev you like pigs in a blanket?
Thats not what he meant hamslammer but Im sure that someone w/an IQ of a small rodent couldnt figure that out.
sudaev I watched this video 3 times and nowhere does he even remotely suggest it was the cops fault so either you didn't watch the video or you're just an idiot who assumes everyone like Henry simply hates all cops.
Eric Buzzard exactly. I think people just like starting shit where there isn’t any to start.
Boooooooring
