Werner Herzog on Henry Rollins' Show.

[papppappful]

I've had respect for both these guys for a while, despite (or maybe because of) their somewhat insane perspectives on life in general.

[kaaosHEX]

watch troma.  fuck reality. surf nazis must die. but we live.

[BarrelDiogenes]

"You do not move mountains with money, you move them with faith." <3

[ParanoiaVII]

"It was not such a serious bullet" Rollins nearly died from the amount of awesome Herzog radiated at that moment.

[marsproject23]

"this is part of the volclure out of here" ?

[philipheubeck]

@marsproject23 he means "folklore"

[marsproject23]

ah I see. Thanks. That is a pretty loose accent. But then I don't have an ear for German.

[peopledick]

An actual STARGATE/PORTAL-THING was caught on film in New Mexico. The footage can be found within the short-film entitled "SUDDEN PORTHOLE", which is parked at the PROJECT CAMELOT YouTube page (it's under the George Noory video).

I'm not selling anything…I'm just trying to spread the word about the unseen-dimensions we find ourselves embedded in.

My BLOG contains peripheral data regarding the movie and is where I reply to the "debunkers" (use search words "SAM ZURICK" & "BLOG"). THANKS!!

[bemybitchDOTbe]

The thing about Henry is he listens. Even when a guest goes slightly away from his question he isnt leaping in to redirect which makes for a very natural and fascinating interview.

Massive respect to Werner, the guy is a legend

[Eurannmmiel14]

this Man is out of control...being shot is part of the folkore out here...hahahahahahahahahaa

[random5241]

henry rollins is dumb as fuck, but black flag was cool

[thundermorphine]

I just love his voice!

[saitamme]

it's exciting to be shot at?! world's most balls out interesting film maker!

[Lieu3C4]

The emphasis on truth and illumination, on ecstatic truths, and how to prevoke cognitionof truth within an audience in an age of CGI exceeding the verite of the 60s, raises tome as much the question of the manufacture of falsehood, the truth of the limitations binding and binding, much as one would see a Godelein transcendance ensue upon, if only to loosen once more the girders of the souls seeking certainties in securities of unthreatening imagination.

[10100003]

Henry Rollins is an excellent interviewer. Great show!

[DannyBoy443]

@10100003 Very surprisingly. Like, very very.

[eyeworks88]

The BBC interview is cooler. Mark Kermode kicks Rollin's ass. Well, not literally. But he's cooler and better.

[eyeworks88]

Why does Rollins ask questions he knows the answer to?

We all know that Hollywood nowadays would not have made Fitzcaralldo. They wouldn't have made it back then. Why does he need to ask Herzog that?

[xalstarx]

@eyeworks88 Perhaps not the most poignant question, but it did lead to Herzog's brilliant response - "You do not move mountains with money. You move mountains with faith"

[santospoland]

Rollins is an awesome interviewer…actually I never knew he was doing these. I will watch a bunch now. Good selection of guests.

[Stonedead1991]

I've only seen his Klaus Kinski document and Aguirre, der Zorn Gottes film. Both of them are brilliant. I highly recommend both of them.

[rancerpigy]

i adore mr. Herzog's voice. i watch his documentaries before i sleep to get peaceful mood.

[AnnaEvolut]

i hate how interviewers nowadays in mainstream tv just keep on asking their questions, obviously without understanding what the people say and without keeping asking in order to understand or challange philosophical ideas... its just presenting and managing and time-saving and stupid-keeping of the audience...

[ExtremeBogom]

@Goose511th

Yes exactly, Rollins is a great interviewer. He's interested in his guests, and keen to create a good environment.

The main difference is that there is no audience watching, so everything is more relaxed.

I wish there were more shows like this.

[RobbGardner]

"You don't move mountains with money, you move mountains with faith."

Damn straight Werner!

[carsanookdotcom]

Achtung! The best Teutonic living director, screen writer.

[THWTempest]

Rollins is a dick.

[KeskinTRS]

What a great interview, none of that "I`m gonna be on top" BS you see on all the other shows.

[TheIkaraCult]

He could read a computer programming textbook aloud and id still be entranced.

[ignoranttwat]

How on Earth can Werner live in America? Their accents are so fucking annoying.

[poppydoefresh]

I could listen to this guys voice all day

[MattSmithArt]

Will somebody PLEASE upload a clip of Hezog's appearance on The Simpsons?!

[salsburysteakjr]

"It's something very exhilarating for a man to be shot at with little success."

[Gnoo]

@salsburysteakjr Didn't Winston Churchill say something to that effect?

[coolengine2000]

awesome director from germany great guy

[nogov4KB]

Werner Herzog is one of the best film directors. He looks at the world in a wonderful way.

[amiosa35]

HERO

[karateporkchop]

Jeez.... Herzog is GANGSTER

[sHAd0W11591]

E P I C Voice!

[typeNtardis]

Nobody overreact - but I've been shot.

[loggyon]

Quite surprised to see a German director to be hosted on an American tv show. Then again, Rollins´ show is remarkably European in its layout.

[Marinkorpse]

... it's something very exhilarating for a man to be shot at with very little success...

That's the attitude, Werzog is my bad ass type, chilled.

[noburningbushes]

He's a genius. Nothing short.

I can hear him talk all day. "You don't move mountains with money, you move them with faith."

[flagwaver1969]

Herzog shouldn't have allowed such an interview by a vain and brainless host.

[Dusty1141]

@flagwaver1969

Snob much?

[gsh73la]

@flagwaver1969 *looks at faves*

Why are you even commenting on a Herzog vid, with that taste ?

[flagwaver1969]

@gsh73la

Thoughts do not have flavor. You wouldn't likely be able to comprehend the vastness of my interests & YT is merely a minute example of interest.

[chopinesprit]

@flagwaver1969 I think Herzog is not so discriminatory and I like that. someone like Herzog who can talk with all kind of people, no matter how educated he is, has all my respect.It's easy to feel smart in front of people who had not been educated like you. it seems Herzog doesn't act like a snob, because he's not. it seems he's very respectful to other cultures.

[Pompeji2]

Tough guy Rollins shellshocked by eternal hippy tough guy Werner Herzog, legend. Two thoroughly likeable, intelligent men. I could have listened to them for three more hours. Thanks so much for posting.

Check out the assassination vid!

Check out Grizzly man - fantastic. You start the film thinking of the bear man as a total idiot but end up feeling for him and feeling really sorry for him and his girl. Amazing filmmaking.

[llsand75]

He actually shockes Henry Rollins at the end with his "It's part of the Folklore "

[wolfgangle]

hollywood is stll racistic vs germans that`s why he didn`t get nominated

[RobotTickleFight]

Rollins is prodding Herzog to talk shit on the Industry, but Werner is just too chill

[PrePiovaPost]

What became of this program?

[11caulfield]

Two great men.

[ethanjroberts]

"Mountains are moved with faith, not money"

[Frye666]

@dmcfs3 I am a European too but do not generalize. Henry Rollins is a great guy and I think he is smart. But lets not forget he is a host of a talkshow not and university symposium. He conducts the chat well and motivates Werner to share his thoughts. The fact that Werner gives us a great speech is half of Rollin's merit.

[misterbizzones]

@dmcfs3 fuck off you nationalist dunce.

[misterbizzones]

@dmcfs3 no, i'm not buying a ticket to your filthy one-room shack in east bumblefuck just to tell you what you can already read.

[tristicordX]

@dmcfs3 *cough" Nazi! *cough*

[ChristophUlsamer]

@tristicordX "cough" idiot "cough" indian slaughter "cough" slavery "cough"

[ChristophUlsamer]

@tristicordX "cough" idiot "cough" he was born in september 1942, which makes him 2 and a half years at the end of WW2...

[tairanotomomori]

I remember Akira Kurosawa lovingly writing about his encounter with Werner Herzog, reminiscing how Herzog's kindness and sincerity had touched him. Herr Herzog seems to have a gift to attract people. I'm utterly fascinated. Every sentence coming out his mouth is a gem.

[eneemha]

qualcuno che traduce??

[cervixpunch]

rollins is a smart man and he realises that he is talking to someone just as intelligent

[yaopasha]

Genius.

[psychophysicqdqpc]

naja bin total ungezogen heute wer will mit mir telen der kann sich ja melden

[Goose511th]

The more interviews I see Rollins do, the more I understand why people call him a "bad interviewer".. he is completely contrary to their expectations.

He treats his guests with respect, doesn't put them in a glitzy set or crack jokes over what they say. He's not Leno, or Letterman, or any of the late night talk show hosts. He's actually INTERESTED in what they have to say, in finding out about them.

It's more accurate to call it a conversation, rather than an interview, IMO.

[DanMcCaffrey]

@Goose511th

Disagree kinda. I great interview is a conversation, yes. And a great interviewer should be judged by his follow up questions. Contrasting Rollins to Leno etc, or their environments is a slow pitch. Charlie Rose is the gold standard for american interviewers. And he is undeniably engaged, enthusiastic, and informed. A consumate conversationalist. Rollins just asks questions. Rollins strength is his superior programming (and Rose would have sucked in Black Flag).

[nenna69]

@Goose511th

very well said

[ccai6]

@Goose511th um..im not sure rollins understood wat herzog was talking about...sign of a bad interviewer, when he doesnt get the part about reality generation, and the difference between truth and that type of creation

[ANGRYEEL]

@Goose511th VERY well put. Glad others recognize.

[VlikeVince777]

Is it just my opinion or is Henry Rollins a great host...i mean his questions

are perfect!

[matthaufan97]

Werner Herzog is one of those insane directors who are a master of what they do

[cha0scl0ud]

That guy is awesome lol. Well, both of them.

[JacksonOssea]

I've only seen one of his films, Rescue Dawn, but his reputation makes me really want to see his great works such as: Aguirre: the wrath of god, fitzcarraldo and stroszeck.

[misterbizzones]

@JacksonOssea Definitely watch Aguirre. Probably a good place to start.

[carsanookdotcom]

"Werner HERZOG is the greatest European director alive since the the greatest of them all passed away. Ingmar BERGMAN - I do recommend the YouTube interview.

[TheEvilelvis89]

@TheOptimistPrime

I agree. not only is he a smart man but he also seems very approachable. I would like to hear from someone who has actually met him in person though.

[clukazz]

@TheEvilelvis89 / I met him in person several years ago. I was living in Genoa (IT) back then and working in an Opera Theatre. As you may know Herzog also directed Operas and I approached him after the first press-conference about theshow. He is indeed very approachable and always finds a moment to speak with anyone interested in his work.

[Kalinack]

Rollins and his antithesis lol! Rollins: cynical, literal, banal, Herzog: transcendant, ethereal, ascendant... An incredible juxtaposition. It would be great if we could see the positions reversed through a telecast from another dimension perhaps!

[clukazz]

@Kalinack / I don't agree with your analysis... Werner is less ethereal than you might think... his movies are physical as much as transcendent (you just have to see the relationship he had with Kinsky to understand it) and Henry is less physical than what I was thinking. I recently saw him live and he has changed and matured a lot since he was a "rockstar".

[Elberiver11]

I also wondered why he said that L.A. was the city with the most "Substance" in the USA. Substance in the sense of what?

But generally i like what he said, a very intelligent man

[DirtyGarnet]

youtube.com/watch?v=QX_n-4lGGk­A

- Brand new Werner Herzog reading of the famous poem 'If' is located at the above link.

[Galactu5]

As much as you may admire Herzog, I need some more evidence for the statement about LA having the most "substance" of any place in the US. If you consider that garbage is and has substance, perhaps his statement holds some truth. Maybe his definition of truth, which likely doesn't fit mine, is where the problem occurs.

Anyway, good luck with trying to ignore all of the fake tits and other shite.

[9Maleficus9]

I like how appreciative Rollins is in many of his interviews

[Lucvanacker]

The Folklore of Los Angeles !!! LOL

[PtAltmVansanTarr]

He is the most brilliant and original filmmakers ever, he is one of the few filmmakers whom is a true artist.

[PtAltmVansanTarr]

Herzog is the MAN!

[RockBottomRiser21]

Werner Herzog, probably my favorite person on planet earth.

[Masterphonic]

Compared to Herzog, Rollin's is a soft wad of dough

[TreyRoque]

Cut the auto-captions, they're entirely wrong.

[sebremit]

Werner Herzog > Henry Rollins

[ken7602]

"there is something exhilerating for a man to be shot at with little succes"

[spirallemniscate]

Thank you Werner. I was just about to lose a little faith in my current film project. As for money, I've never had any, so I'm glad to hear that moving mountains will nevertheless still be within my grasp.

[1schwererziehbar1]

check out the video where werner herzog reads "where's waldo"!

it's very good.

[youlosez]

Good interviewee, but bad interviewer. He kept juggling around with shallow questions instead of diving deeper on a specific topic.

[lughnasa2007]

@youlosez. It was an intro level junket interview promoting the DVD of Grizzly Man. Rollins had 7 minutes. He covered Fitzcarraldo, attitudes to the Hollywood machine and LA as a city, new documentaries vs Cinema Verite, and getting shot...More in depth material is easily accessible for those intrigued by this.

[myryckyz]

Who is this young man who pretend to be great interview?

[TheEvilelvis89]

@myryckyz

that "young" man happens to be a punk rock icon

[TheSinik]

Two of my heroes face to face! Thanks Henry.

[Dtchmastrkilla7]

fuck you henry rollins

[Pompeji2]

Being from Germany I just love Werner's accent, he talks like my mum (who never had access to any original English being spoken when she learned it in the 1930). Unbelievable. Billy Wilder couldn't make it up. Bully for him with the shooting (sic). And loves me some Henry R, neck bigger than his head. Loved him as a performer, love him as a host, bless US TV. Eventhough cutting into Werner was a tough job. Thanks for posting. Great men.

[ShaneFHallx]

hmdas beste wäre heute oder überhaupt wenn ich jemand netten zum chattn finden würde!

[LakeshaYHenderson]

huhuschnur bin so einsam und gelangweilt will sanft gekrault werden hab auch bilder

[HelterSkelter085]

amazing interview!

[AlecEmpire]

man, Werner is cooler than all the wanna be rap gangsters.

[MrUnderdog1970]

God bless the Germans!

[FOIIAD]

@MrUnderdog1970

you have obviously never been to germany.

it's basic about beer, xenophobia and reallity tv...

believe me i live there

[underdogbitesyou]

@FOIIAD

youre so fucking right.. ;)

[ShaneTerry90]

7:24 henry's face hahaha

[mastercontrol200]

This is a fascinating interview. Herzog gets to the deepest level of filmmaking in a short 7-minute interview.

[MrUnderdog1970]

What an awesome interview!

[stett99]

fuckin a Fallin Idols

[stett99]

werner is a free mason

[justbeamensch]

All that work in making a film and he still finds the time to work with mortar.

[Fallinldols]

skull n bones 322?

[fLexRefLex]

Henry Rollins is a pretty lame interviewer in this one. Though if I had to interview a great like Herzog I'd probably act like a stiff as well.

[Dayberry]

"Its wasn't a serious bullet" wow

[aletheiashortwave]

"It was not a significant bullet."

[skok65]

This is classic. . . "It's (getting shot) part of the folklore out of here. . ."

[McNugget06]

He's the pimp of cinema.

[iamweapon]

Damn right, have you seen his wife? Banging and articulate as fuck. And he's like 38 years older than her! Definately a man to look up to.

[schatzee00]

Pimp? You're almost as gay as Henry Rollins.

[McNugget06]

Okay fagot, keep callin other people gay whenever you feel insecure about your arousal to your own one inch dick. Just be careful not to chafe yourself while you try corn holing that Mark Anthony blow up doll you keep in your basement pussy.

[kiasmus]

I like Herzog. He is talented, corageous, never talks shit and also has this wonderfully dark and romantic -in the german sense- view of life.

[mammismo]

that is correct

[tolexor]

i love werner! I just got shot, but fuck the cops!!! HA!

[BloodEssential]

Rollins = God =D

[willzyx12]

wow

[kdixon7783B]

I miss this show!

[dontleademsomuch]

henry knows all about being shot at

[Nicholasmegalis]

Brilliant filmmaker.

[k11zx0]

Henry Rollins fuckin rocks

[Etcher]

He's a great guy really

[Fistwagon]

"I've been shot at with much more serious bullets before in my life... It's something very exhilarating for a man to be shot at with little success." You can see the JOY in Rollin's eyes after hearing that gem of pure brilliance.

[smurfarooney2003]

great interview

[s0olid]

"Not a serious bullet." I love this man.

[romaneberle]

@s0olid:

"it's part of the folklore out here" - lol!

totally.

[88jester]

Poetic logic sees truth in film....

[cheezavenger]

I like when Henry looses it at the end. His admiration shown through.

[cheezavenger]

Werner Herzog's Nosferatu, FTW!!!!!!

[banjoby1232003yahoo]

Henry Rollins asks me to change the confines of faith. Oh that's crazy, that's crazy. Also, Henry's choice of words seems to strive from his written vocabulary.

[thechallenger9000]

I have only seen "Encounters at the End of the World". But I have read plenty about his folklore's and just completely find the man more inspiring than any filmmaker today, yes even Abel Ferrara. I am sorry but that man (Ferrara) needs to suck up his ego. Appreciation given!! And I have seen the original "Bad Lieutenant" Keital was brilliant. But I think Herzog and Cage, can be equally great.

[mexer]

Werner Herzog is a RIP OFF!! how dare you try to make the bad leutinant!! You fucked that movie up! nicholas cage is to soft to be a crooked cop!! Stop butchering classics!! i knew some lame movie maker was gonna fuck my favorite movie up! HARVEY should shoot you for that!!

[Wiggles2000]

I honestly have know idea why Herzog chose such a smelly cast for any film... Nicholas Cage is ok in some parts... but his latest films have sucked. And Xzibit... wft.... it sounds like a joke to me.

But you really have to see one of ANY of the fantastic films Werner Herzog has directed before you can call him some lame movie maker. He's a director who goes so far for his films.

[artwallis]

You leave Herzog alone! He moved a riverboat over a mountain! Pull that off, and you have the right to judge.

[hanshotfirst1138]

"You don't move mountains with money. You move mountains with faith."

What a great line!

[TulseLuper]

Glad he finally got an Oscar nomination but it's unlikely he will ever win won. Hollywood rarely recognizes genius like that. But I'd settle for a Lifetime Achievement Oscar.

[bobtork]

This shot, for Herzog, only serves as inspiration for another film. He is a genius.

[screwtape84]

Herzog will outlive everyone on youtube.

[RationalEmotive]

...except Fred and smosh. These guys are just amazing.

[Larsbolander]

Werner is a fascinating sociopath, which explains in part why he was so intrigued by Treadwell, another fascinating sociopath.

[bartdelmar]

hehehehe..... great

[FunBoy15]

in what way is he a sociopath? I don't know much about the man.

[charlezurich]

I wish Werner was my dad

[OrangeSFO]

"Not a serious bullet".... I think we now know who the coolest man on earth is.

[retread01]

Relax, it wasn't a serious bullet!

[keytoothed]

Rollins and his show are kickass.

[MajorityRule]

One of my favorite favorite directors and one of my favorite hardcore icons having a conversation...I couldn't ask for more.

[emmettmcp]

Whats with the slight against surfing?

[glassineheart]

henry rollins has become the ward cleaver of hardcore.

[Marumasa]

I've rarely felt so much affection for someone I never met.

[admiralamadras]

At least he got an Oscar nomination this year. Werner Hezog is a grand credit to Germany.

[admiralamadras]

This guy is awasome!! He is the Anti-Uwe Boll!

[vidarathexvii]

hahahha, great comment

[Frowned]

How are surfing and eating vitamins acts of stupidity?

[MassiveJungle]

'it's something very exhilarating to be shot at with little success'

Werner Herzog unironically owns
