Rating: Summary: I am put off Review: Okay, I am in the camp of the people who thinks Rollins has had it. His best years, before, and right after 1992, they're gone, they're done. I heard Hank tell some of these stories before, and he has now changed them. I saw this piece of flotsam for free, I think perhaps Comedy Central. Hank is a very desperate man. His self indulgent narcissistic, survival of the fittest brand of garbage really appealed to me back when I needed medication, badly, but it's over for me. Hank, just drop the mike and leave. Don't go away mad, just go away.
Rating: Summary: He's an interesting guy Review: This has a pretty fun stand up performance by Henry Rollins in London. He's a smart guy with a great sense of humor and he's had a lot of pretty intense life experiences -- like being in Black Flag. At the end of the performance is Henry sitting down and just honestly talking about what he does, why he does it, and who he is. Henry is always poignent and honest and thought provoking. This is a cool item for anyone who likes to think.
Rating: Summary: Like a fine wine, he just gets better with age. Review: To those that would have thought that the years, adventures, and experiences would have mellowed Henry Rollins, this DVD is irrefutable evidence that it is not so. Rollins, Warriorpoet extraordinaire, holds fast to the tenets that he refuses to sit back and let the world pass him by; reveling in a Bushido-Nietzchean mindset that only gets more powerful with age. Alternately inspiring and hilarious, Rollins provides his distinct voice to issues as varied as what he would be like as president, to traveling through the streets of Thailand, to the dire state of modern music accompanied by rampant subliteracy. Listening to the intelligent and articulate ferocity of his attacks, and his Hemingway adventures that have taken him across the world, you feel almost embarassed to be sitting down and watching this video. We should all be so lucky to be so unique and uncompromising at his age, instead of sitting on the couch and seeing what's on mustseetv. What a waste. Rollins is the real deal. Do yourself a favor: Shut up, sit down, and watch.
