Never really cared for his singing. He’s got a pretty terrible voice but he admits it. I enjoy his spoken word more than anything.

The End of Silence is a pretty cool album. His Black Flag stuff is alright.

I’m a fan of HR. Caught his spoken word at the Varsity probably 15 years ago.

I do know that he is a hard core audiophile/equipment geek—the audio mags do stories on his systems from time to time.

Grew up on Black Flag and I like most of his Rollins Band stuff. Get Some Go Again might be my favorite over End of Silence. But I can listen to it all.

His spoken word stuff I can only take in doses. After a while, he's saying a whole lot about a whole lot. The joe rogan podcast with him was excellent.

Not really a fan of his music, but I enjoy listening to him shoot the shite.

I remember years ago, his band played a song on The Dennis Miller Show. Afterward, as he was approaching the couch, you could tell in Dennis' eyes that he was gonna have a field day with Rollins, probably thinking he was some dopey meathead...well, that changed once Rollins started talking, and by the end of the chat, Dennis was genuinely awed by the guy. I don't think I ever saw a talk show host do a 180 like that

It still trips me out a little that even growing up in a small WVa town, my best friend had a half-pipe in the back yard and we jammed out to Lou Reed, DK’s & Black Flag complete with

stickers on our skateboards.

And to Kige some posters here, Rollins’ talent as a storyteller probably surpasses his music.

And love or hate the song, Liar is a fricking great video.

No links? How about Henry Rollins on David Lee Roth / Van Halen:

Rollins is awesome, but weirdly for as huge as the DC hardcore scene was he isn't usually mentioned as being a part of it though he was born and raised in DC. his DC band didn't get much traction.

I like Black Flag and Rollins Band well enough. But at some point MTV decided that he was the poet laureate of my generation. No thanks.
