Henry Rollins Interview attempt 1995

[mcdrunkin]

Henry gives us his all everytime he's on stage give the guy 15 minutes to relax and he'll answer you silly questions.

[guitardude5000]

whats the band/song in the background?

[SolidMike84]

@guitardude5000

The Offspring - Self Esteem

[thSubliminalCriminal]

at least he didn't as for his vitamin water and a quiche.

\m/,

[Machseh]

I love youtube comments. 

[Boganvillar]

He's obviously just gotten off stage and is completely fucking exhausted and needs to catch his breath, which is difficult to do when someone's shoving a microphone in your face asking you questions.

[thegov08]

he hates germans. I excuse him.

[szebutrans]

@thegov08 he's dutch, you ignorant cunt

[thegov08]

@szebutrans Dutch, German I don't give a shit. They all suck.

[szebutrans]

@thegov08 your mom sucked more last night

[thegov08]

@szebutrans Well I think YOUR mum sucked even more. oh snap!!

[szebutrans]

@thegov08 bazinga!

[Geenideeize]

@thegov08 Internet Hero

[mezzetin1]

@thegov08

dutch, german, human, i'm thegov08, i don't give a shit. they all suck, myself included.

[thegov08]

@mezzetin1 Great impression of me. You should take your impressionist show on the road.

[MegaMuckefuck]

@thegov08

Which piss-country are you from? ;)

[thegov08]

@MegaMuckefuck Is your mother's cunt a country? It sure is wide enough.

[MegaMuckefuck]

@thegov08

Dude, a 13-year-old kiddy like you shouldn't know words like "cunt". I think i have to call your mommy again and tell her, she has to punish you.

[xXTheSockRockerXx]

@MegaMuckefuck PATRONIZING.

[satan666691]

most journaliste dont give a shit about the music you play anyway,they juste want the sensationalist side of the think,so fuck them,sorry for my bad english,am french,but i try,to make you dumb bitch understand my point of view,hehe

[satan666691]

its not because your in a band,and thousand of people listenne and buy your fucking record,that tou have to suck the dick of evryfucking journalist that want to make an interview with you

[satan666691]

he's still poly,if it was me,i would have said at the first question,fuck you and fuck off!

[fatcat669]

well i guess all those muscles dont help your cardio too much

[Malpractice2003]

I know this interviewer from others videos, everybody hates him. Chris Cornell was annoyed by him too in 1992...

I don't know, but i think he has a especial ability on pissing people off...

[WarGoatForestWolf666]

Henry Rollins is kind of a baby

[TheUKpunk]

you've just done a gig you dont want to come off stage an have some cunt wanting an interview you come of you want at least half hour to yourself a lot of them time

[darklordojeda]

Interviewer looks like a godamned freak of nature. WTF.

[HAYDS510]

breathing is kind of vital to recovering if you just gave all your energy for the fuckin crowd.. would ya rather a musician go cheap on the stage so that he can give one damn fine speech to some obnoxious media men afterwards who probably have no idea who he is anyway? imagine someones holding you underwater and every-time they pull you out, rather than give you a chance to breath heavily they want you to talk. is it so bad to want them to just get the fuck off your case?

[braindrain52389]

saw this guy at my work about 1.5 yrs ago, held the door for him and he didn't say thank you. and here's this video. but i don't care. i'm not complaining.

after all, he's not judgemental. he's probably an ass to everyone.

hardcore or not, snob is fucking snob.

[itowedin]

@braindrain52389 Odd...Because in Portland, Oregon about a month ago he jumped out of a cab, greeted me first, and asked me where he could find a place to get coffee before a book signing. He thanked me. When he came back we had a nice conversation and took pictures together. He signed my book as well. Couldn't have been cooler.

[suhijo]

Now i undestand one of his jokes about Iggy Pop!!!

[razzaxxe]

Nah, he wasn't cool. Dude was rude. That's all there is to it.

[ortonomics]

He actually was quite polite for a guy who can chuck norris the fuck out of a microphone.

[joemj413]

Awwwww rock star needs to BREAAAAAATH

[HAYDS510]

@joemj413 ?? you do realise the importance of breathing right? idiot

[j2mfp78]

@joemj413 awww the little boy behind the screen thinks hes so funny.

[SuperVicente91]

hahaha the interviewer looks like glen matlock from the sex pistols

[MykullGordogo]

The offspring playing in the backround haha

[PanekPL]

@MykullGordogo Yeah... Offspring when they were actually a good band

[miersanga]

jajaaaa....a henry le llego al pincho q el reportero sea tan estupido y nervioso....

[squidpants]

he looks like he's about to pass out

[SUPERNERD77]

I know exactly how Henry feels...shit sucks.

[kingakron]

what the fuck about all you fuckers posting pussy shit like "oh he was such an asshole! why he didnt start dancing to our needs and smile! we are his fans oh he owe us so much oh we the fans need to know about our favorite artists what a douche oh" FUCK YOU!!! how would you feel giving an interview after running for and hour for example? (like any of you pussy fat fuckers could do so) its obvious you need to be alone and get calm and quite after this type of performances, hewasverypolite infact

[SteakMusic]

@kingakron something tells me you would not have handled that situation as well as Henry did.

[TheThetechnician]

@kingakron your posting shit too as i am....dont get upset by what people write on here....use your energy in other ways....its not that bad

[oxytrebor]

whadda fucking premadonna .... 'i should've been breathing instead of doing this interview' - fuck you you fag ov a whore! you should be glad somebody wants to hear what your dumb ass has to say.this is exactly why i never liked this guy - he thinks he's so fucking cool and his time so so important.this bitch can't even sing ... fuck him and whoever gave him birth

[wesport125]

Henry Rollins+ Offspring playing self esteem in the background + bad ass video

[t4ll3y]

Is that the fucking offspring onstage?

[TheRmill3r]

He looks like a fucking child throwing a temper tantrum...

[FormerHuman]

@TheRmill3r No, he looks like a guy who just worked really hard and sweated his guts out on stage, and then got confronted by an interviewer. How much would you like it?

[LIFEISPAIN215]

i'm henry rollins. i know everything and i am better than you.

[Hellwyck]

The people on the internet who use the word "choad" are the same people who think 5FDP and the term "Douchebag" are "extreme".

Here's how it worked:

I've never met you, I didn't actually call you into question, merely the word "choad".

You have never met me yet you called me weak minded...

It's "leads to failing" not "leads to fail".

You failed at telling me I failed and you claim to be 40???

[Hellwyck]

@DigitalHemorrhoids

You assumed I was weak minded... I'd think before reacting.

[Hellwyck]

@DigitalHemorrhoids

Choad = word used by people with no vocabulary skills

[Geekman333]

Comparing the Offspring to Rollins is like comparing kittens with Godzilla. The only reason Offspring are headliners is because they appeal to idiots with their vacuous 'lyrics' with very little substance. Of course they sell more albums. Rollins rules. If you don't get it, go enjoy your Offspring albums and let the man go about his business.

[deceasemortician]

rollins could have said it in a nicer way what a douche

[CaotsIII]

@deceasemortician people like you have no clue what you're talking about. it's a matter of respect. if someone just put it in all that effort to put on such a good performance, you should give them the space they need for the next 10 or so minutes. It's just common courtesy. You don't see interviews with hockey players the moment they finish the game. it's at least a half hour afterward. when they had time to chill out and catch themselves.

[deceasemortician]

@CaotsIII you have no clue either dumb ass lance armstrong has and that dude does way more than rollins so shut the fuck up it takes no effort to say "i'm tired, maybe later"

[ferfookssekelad]

hahaha his face from 0.04 to 0.10 awesome! the look of despair when dealing with annoying fucks.

[ferfookssekelad]

ja rot op klootzak

[PantherFunk32474]

Otis bastard whatever the fuck your name is. Try doing what he does. HE'S IS OWN MAN NOW, WHAT DO YOU DO, WORK FOR SOMEONE ELSE? HE HAD ASSHOLES THROW PISS AT HIM, AND ALL ROLLINS DID WAS BRING FORTH SOME GOOD MUSIC TO YOU FUCK YOU. YOU COULDN'T HANDLE A QUARTER OF SHIT HE WENT THROUGH.

WHERE IN THIS CLIP IS HE POSING?

[PantherFunk32474]

Oiyabastard, whatever the duck your name is, get up there and do what he does. I know you can't. When someone throws a cup of, piss at you, you wouldn't know what to do, you fucking pussy.

[oiyabastard]

loser rollins playing b4 offspring , haha  poser

[unrexr]

the offspring in the back

[camironcha]

The worst job in the world! I can't blame to Rollins, he looks exhausted.

[bumblescum64]

classic rollins...total fucking lightweight.

[siglerproductions]

reminds me of my grandpa meets a 20 year old hard core punk... wicked!

[CreativeUsername7734]

offspring concert?

[YouthEnergy]

@CreativeUsername7734 Yep, they're playing Self-Esteem.

[NaminatoR1254]

Man, is that the same that guy that interviewed Cornell and Vedder in 92? Did they ever change him?

[ChienJaune01]

@NaminatoR1254 He very well could be the same giant clueless dutch guy.

[madtownband]

proves rollins is an asshole. the guy wasn't asking a question because hes curious. he was there doing his job so that fans can read about their favorite artists.

[BadassAnons]

I can only imagine what would happen if the Interviewer did the ''tom cruise water squirt trick'', lol!!! Henry certainly wouldn't be calling him a jerk lol....

[Quex01]

Lol, comments are the best part here, i didn't even get to the interview yet.

[Cioppa182]

Offspring in the background

[nervouswreck75]

I guess "tact" is not a word in the Dutch vocabulary. lol

[TheRamsesII]

due to the bad reviews, I have not even bothered listening to this post

[joshp6585]

you gotta respect rollins..you can tell he gave a great effort for the crowd and on top of it made a piss poor interviewer look stupid.

[slyartwork]

@straightedge442 who says its from 1985????

[straightedge442]

@slyartwork Hahaha I misread the title. I'm sorry. That's embarrassing.

[feebdaed]

@slyartwork stop saying it's from 1985, this is not from 1985 you retard, there's The Offspring in the background playing

[slyartwork]

@feebdaed Who says its from 1985??? Read!

[10pencils]

@feebdaed it says 1995 you dipshit

[slantyrock]

@straightedge442 Im pretty sure it's 95, the douchebag at 0:25 is on a video interviewing danzig from this festival, that interview was also fail, lol.

[straightedge442]

@slantyrock Yeah. I agree with that.

[isaacADD]

@straightedge442 it is 1995 you can tell because of the Offspring song playing in the backround

[straightedge442]

@isaacADD Yeah. I know. I misread the title.

[hojima]

@straightedge442 it says 1995

[straightedge442]

@hojima Which is exactly why I said about 17 times that I misread it.

[hojima]

@straightedge442 Didnt see that :P. Additionally, they started in 84.

[straightedge442]

@hojima The Rollins band? They started in '87, the year after Black Flag broke up.

[hojima]

@straightedge442 Meant offspring.

[straightedge442]

@hojima Oh ok. My bad again.

[Marchelorap]

OFFSPRING <3 u can hear in the back :)

[tlv156]

I fucking loved him in Jackass the Movie. "PRISSY MOTHERFUCKER!!!" Best line of his career.

[MichaelHThe2nd]

I love the fact I can hear The Offspring playing Self Esteem in the back.

[motocostaone]

@MichaelHThe2nd good old memories

[hack451]

Rollins sure sounds like a douche here. Hell, even saying 'fuck off' and leaving before trying to engage the reporter in conversation would be less douchy.

[unfortunatebeam]

@hack451 ah no, telling the interviewer to fuck off and then just leave before anything else would make him a douche x1000.

[RPGfiend]

@hack451 You try going up on stage and singing and yelling,and then immediately after have some reporter with shit timing asking you stupid questions immediately after,and see what you think then.

[meatwad13666]

@RPGfiend even playing guitar makes you tired, for some reason stages are like black holes for energy it sucks haha

[hack451]

@RPGfiend I have, actually. Not to an audience this size, mind, but still... all you do is say 'sorry, can't talk now' and move on. But my point was even being a bit of a jerk and walking away immediately was less douchy than what he did that day. Not saying it isn't understandable, but still kinda douchy.

[RussX5Z]

Ha ha ha Henry Rollins is so funny and sarcastic! You gotta love that guy!

[612jo]

oh not again this guy! I've seen him try to interview Pearl Jam and Chris Cornell at pinkpop 1992, he is like the worst ever...

[poolboyinla]

Rollins acted like a douche. He could have been more polite.

[minimalniemand]

@poolboyinla yeah, being polite if you don't want to - thats definitely rock&roll.

NOT.

[bhoussock]

@ driekone he's beat man, who wants to answer the same questions anyway?

[driekone]

@bhoussock Well, I guess part of it has to do with how a person is treated for simply doing his job. It wouldn't have been so much to just tell the guy, "hey man, you mind if I catch a few minutes before I answer any questions?" Is that so hard? No instead, he wants to be a fucking pompous ass. Just check out the video when he was with black flag, totally fucking with this little turd kid who is just trying to interview him.

[driekone]

Fucking Whaaaah! Played our guts out and now we have to breathe hard. Shut the fuck up. No one told you to be a performer Rollins. You don't see boxers pull that shit and they may go 12 rounds of brutality, or other sports players who "played their guts out."  Get off your high horse.

[UFCfanboy7898]

@driekone just go away, and go fuck yourself....

[driekone]

@UFCfanboy7898 Yeah okay. I will just go away and go fuck myself...hahahaha. It is true man. All I am saying is that for Henry Rollins, and his macho physique, and all the shit he spits about, he shouldn't be fucking whining.

[carouselcarouse]

@driekone If you have ever worked your ass off playing a gig before you would know that pretty much every performer needs 5-10 mins to regroup both thier mind and energy after coming off stage. Its not being precious, its simply what most people need to do. Comparing muso's to superfit boxers is ridiculous.

[driekone]

@carouselcarouse Yeah well, he didn't need to be a pompous fucking prick about it either. A real professional might ask something like, "hey man, just got done playing a tough gig, so can I get a few minutes to rest before I answer any questions?" As I told someone else, check out the video of him fucking with this kid who was trying to interview him. Rollins is a dickhead.

[carouselcarouse]

@driekone Fair call..

[zosothedestroyer]

@driekone rollins is just too fucking cool for you bro

[driekone]

@zosothedestroyer Yep, that's it!  You got it.

[zosothedestroyer]

@driekone thought so!

[samhain6677]

@driekone yeah, you're right; but were all dickheads at some time or another; Rollins is still the shit

[driekone]

@samhain6677 Yeah I suppose so.  I know we're not all perfect. Thanks.

[RPGfiend]

@driekone He has a right to be,most people are pathetic assholes unworthy of respect or courtesy.

[driekone]

@RPGfiend Oh so your logic says that everyone should be treated that way right off the bat without even considering the possibility that he or she may not be one of those assholes that deserves it...hmmm....okay. Suit yourself.

[RPGfiend]

@driekone Everyone has a day when they are pissed off and angry at everyone,and that was one of those days when i made that comment.I guess my words are as immortal as the baghavad-gita and the bible,and what I say on youtube shall remain truth forever?

[driekone]

@RPGfiend No, it's cool. I understand.

[Garell2]

Interviewing an artist seconds after the show? Bad idea.

[mkrulz77]

damn he looks f*cking exhausted!

[camironcha]

La pesadilla de todo periodista...

[ebMagnum]

I swear, they got nothing but douchebags interviewing people at Pinkpop. It's a shame. I wonder if they make an effort to annoy people or if they're just stupid.

[N3row0lf]

People rail against Hank for this interview so hard, but honestly... if you were being hounded by media wherever YOU went or if there were media waiting for you right after you got off-stage all the time, you'd get pretty pissed at it too.

[unfortunatebeam]

@N3row0lf yeah but at the same time the journalists have to do their job too. People like Rollins have something called "fans", people that like to know various things about Rollins. The media is the inter"media"ry that allows this to happen.  he couldn't communicate with thousands of fans and people that like him otherwise. And the job is that much more shitty because people with big egos treat them like parasites and vultures.

[driekone]

@N3row0lf Yeah well, nobody asked Rollins to take on the music and acting business either. I always say, you should know what you're getting into before you get into it. And that is fine if he wants to be a prick. He has every right to do so. But he shouldn't be nagging about it when he should know what comes with a career like his.

[dummy1977]

Holy shit, when did Morrissey get so ripped? I guess that's what moving to LA will do to ya.

[jerik86]

You can hear The Offspring playing in the background.

[CultofPatriots]

I thought that song sounded familiar

[mastadon1976]

Classic Rollins.

[slyartwork]

No he never did an interview after this.

[CleverDjembe]

@slyartwork

Incorrect.

[straightedge442]

@slyartwork Yeah.

[hydlide]

I remember this bit, but I can't remember if he even got to interview him later on, like he says at the end.. anyone?

[ghostrid3]

man these guys are the worst interviewers, not only do they not ask the right questions but they ask them at bad timing

[liberalsRhypocrites]

@ghostrid3 thanks for the play by play captain obvious
