Daniel Robert Epstein: Henry Rollins

when hank talks i listen to every word. he's a visionary, funny, whitty, and you should see him rip into a heckler at his shows. good stuff.

Henry is my hero.

This long into a career, most people have soured. Hank keeps getting better.

For those of us without cable, I hope that this season, as well as last season's IFC show is issued on DVD.

Long live super Hank!

The great thing about Henry is that no matter how fucking busy he is, if you write him a letter (snail mail), or send him a postcard, he responds! As a teen I would write him often, and he would always respond! So, drop him a line...

I love that man. His "what to do when you get dumped" / Ronnie James Dio spoken word thing is one of the funniest things ever recorded.

SG SG SG...you gotta do your research better than THAT. Rollins was NOT a founding member of Black Flag. he was the LAST in a long line of vocalists.

I enjoyed the interview...but why print misleading and false information? Hank would be one of the first people to tell you that Black Flag wasn't his idea or his band.

wow its called a mistake, christ this isnt a deposition

SG just quoted the article. SG is only liable for the naked girls every thing else is just candy. Wait a minute......

great interview, man. Hank catches a lot of shit, but he usually has something pretty interesting to say.

haha...nice.

I didn't mean to sound like I was crucifying you. I just get really irritated by editorial mistkaes. I do enjoy a lot (a majority actually) of your interviews, but fans can be rabid..and I'm that way with black flag.

my opinion of your overall work hasn't changed much - I just think that in this case you missed the boat completely in doing your homework.

here's the irony-
Rollins himself is often hired by magazines/television shows to do interviews with OTHER celebrities/people of interest, and when you read his introductions and preludes to those interviews, you learn just how serious he takes them (in his book "Do I come here often?" he includes his interview with Jerry Lee Lewis, and the amount of research he does going into that interview is seriously INTENSE). He writes in some of his other books about why he does this - he intensely hates being misquotes and misrepresented.

anyway....blah blah blah. I'm glad you did an interview with Hank. Super job. but somebody had to point it out...

Totally brilliant! I lo9ve them man hes a genius! Hvaing caught him live recently have to say the Trans-Siberian train trip part was sooo funny! Might have to grab the DVD....

henry is my god
just look at my fucking name.

Rollins is the biggest poser bitch to ever live. the best thing Black Flag eved did was drop his sorry ass. he is a two-faced wanna be motherfucker.

he acts all hard then runs like a fuckin bitch when the shit goes bown.

i wouldn't piss in his mouth if he was dying of thirt.



by the way, he didn't even come close to founding Black Flag, he isn't even in the "top 5" of thier best vocalists.


die Rollins.. you pussy.

I'll be so fucking glad when youre gone.

p.s. put your dick back in your pants, its kinda grossing me out.

i saw his show for the first time last night. really good stuff. cant remember who the guest was. want to say oliver stone, but i dunno. but sleater-kinney performed, which kicked ass. looking forward to the next episode.

Rollins Rocks !! Live Long Live Strong !!

i, was wondering if rollins was ever going to be on this site,im glad to see him on here, i am a big fan, i have read all his books,wich is what really got me into him,i am kinda quiet he always spoke what was on my mind , his books actually helped me through some hard times. ive seen his spoken word many times and the rollins band, i have to say the best rollins performance i saw was the tour for the rise above album him and keith it was amazing, when hank came on and started singing my war holy shit priceless.

And you're basing your opinion on what?

Or are you just jealous because his neck is so much bigger than yours?

Irony ? You might want to research that a little.
