[2010balancingact]

I love this SELF RIGHTEOUS PRICK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[critical242]

Pure Rock fury - "Hangry" at his best!

[BucketfulOfFruit]

one word:heavy. always thought this track had a very fair warning era van halen sound...

[what111116]

this band kicks ass the lyrics always match my feelings

[mfsflyer1]

Felt this way for 4 months, glad that is over.

[TheHagalina]

no, but my brother is a lot like my father.



[eazybe1]

when i saw this performed live, my head blew off

[at3sams]

5 people need to be torn apart.

[at3sams]

...sometimes happens all the time...

[sweetjennyd73]

Ok, this is the last one of those... maybe. We shall see : )

[kcutz]

Huge fan of Henry and the boys... But every time I hear the hook @ 2:41 I so hear the rip - off of Youth of Todays - Disengage watch?v=KeYQirUOeaw @ 0:54 guess everythings re-hashed somehow...

[fakewebid]

Awww they cut out the guitar solo. One of my top 10 albums of all time, any problem you have is covered by this album.

[RedJoe10]

Oh man I'd be worried about stepping on Henry's feet if I was in his band.

[Flunder]

get it henry!

[Flunder]

nobody ever said it like this.its like wathcing a person breakdown camera rolling.wonderful.

[Flunder]

I dont think Ive ever had my emotions put to music like this guy did. well done Henry.you make my life better.

[slantyrock]

I put listening to Rollins Band off for years until the other day, why oh why....

[devenking]

I think the live version they did on the Dennis Miller Show is better.

[primus4212]

Ive got diamonds in my eyessssss!

[MhArUhh]

from the album"The End Of Silence". Henry Rollins and the Rollins Band. This song Rocks

[filmarto12]

essential (world) american music thx

[TheTrailerbuilder]

4 People that need to be torn apart

[wonderingwill]

Good times!! I was there when this video was filmed. This video was filmed in Elizabeth, NJ at a club called The Ritz. I jizzed in my pants when I saw this video on MTV. Great fucking band, and great fucking song.

[seasidersfc]

4 people that did not like this must be insane

[theguycansing]

Sir Henry Rollins is whom he is,because ,well,The dude is just super smart!

[baghead777]

On 02/13/2011 Rollins, age 50, will rise from the ashes, and save us all!!!!

[scholle01]

its hard to be with you.....

[Flunder]

pure emotions derailing to brutal rock and roll. wonderful.

[djdepaolo]

Love this song, it was the first one I heard when I first checked out Hank's solo output. That huge edit during Haskett's guitar solo really sucks (among the two other's I noticed). It's a shame that the people in the position of providing access to music love money and their inane advertising far more than music. "Ooooo, we don't want to let the music go on too long before we jam another ad down their throats!!!!"

[TheNewMusicNetwork]

here you go, boy. 8:13 and 8:54 if you want the word "hardcore" from the horses mouth, that is the guys from THE MIDDLE CLASS. As I said the word was thrown around a lot back then, at least in socal. Too bad you queers elsewhere were so late to the game.

/watch?v=JqyyIvVmGXo

okay so everyone get a laugh at this loser ubertard because he doesn't seem to get it. I cited the decline doc where exene from X says people were calling it hardcore and now from THE MIDDLE CLASS and black flag!

e.o.f

[TheNewMusicNetwork]

One last time.

8:54 the guys from the middle class remembering back in the days saying that keith morris(the original black flag singer) came up to them mentioning he was starting a "hardcore" fast punk band.

/watch?v=JqyyIvVmGXo

CASE CLOSED.

NOW GO BACK TO JERKING YOUR 2 INCHING, UBERTARD.

[uberscheisse]

@TheNewMusicNetwork ok, well maybe you're right, you sure seem obsessed about it. it doesn't change the fact that LA is as overrated as metallica, and that your channel is gay.

[TheNewMusicNetwork]

@uberscheisse you're such a lame ass. you wanna talk gay? one only needs to look at your favorited cock polishing videos like, ukele? nina simian, and some gay ass pedophile cartoon.

look here queer-bitch,

you can see owner of club 88(a club from the late 70s) talking about hardcore punk at 5:49

case closed

/watch?v=wrYvvi8RTIs

once again, you own this video as you said yourself so you have no excuses now.

i found 3 cited cases of people talking about hardcore back in 79'.

you lose

[TheNewMusicNetwork]

in case you cock polishers didn't know, rollins wasn't the first black flag singer and black flag brought the sound to you east coast goons.

e.o.f.

[Dropkicktheposers]

Rollins lyrics don't work as well outside a hardcore setting.

[MrBLAOSVSE]

these lyrics are awful

[him21000]

HENRY KICK'S ASS !

I LOVE HIS MUSIC AND I DON'T CARE IF YOU DON'T

[mastadonius]

and for the record middle class wasn't from LA.

[filmarto12]

i remember seing that tour (End of Silence) in Ottawa, Andrew was the only one to come out and shake hands with crowd recipients and I disapproved Rollins for bitching him in his diary/book.

He had a hell of a a band. Still very gratefull for that piece though.Thx.

[virtusprobi]

Love this song...why was it edited?

[Iseedemons]

Ya classic line up. Saw them open up for the Peppers on this tour, Fucking Electric.

[timaichu]

lol some reason rollins energy in this video reminds me of phil anselmo kind of

[mastadonius]

@timaichu correction. phil reminds you of rollins.

[1BOREDMFER]

this lineup was the best.

[DX4LIFFE]

Am I the only one who heard this song from "The Bigs"?

[TheNewMusicNetwork]

led zepplin did NOT create the hardcore sound. it was created in los angeles by bands like the circle jerks, Vicious circle(TSOL), the middle class, eddie and the subtitles, etc.

[mastadonius]

@TheNewMusicNetwork it's debatable...just like punk who created hardcore. some say it was LA...others say it was DC. in my opinion it was definitely DC. bands like Bad Brains and minor threat had more influence on the scene than TSOL and the CJ's. However i can agree on one thing. LZ had NOTHING TO DO WITH IT!

[TheNewMusicNetwork]

@mastadonius <---------FUCKING MORON,

The hardcore scene is an L.A. creation. not faggoty dc

in fact the circle jerks came before bad brains as well and the circle jerks were one of the later hc bands.

black flag are easilly more well know than bad brains and they started a full 2 1/2 years earlier than bad brains.

the middle class was the first hardcore band ever and they're from L.A.

the detours, the skulls, middle class, black flag, the dickies, etc etc. IT'S ALL FROM L.A.

[mastadonius]

@TheNewMusicNetwork you're from LA so of course you're gonna say that LA started it all. and go figure that you'd try and drops names like DC doesn't have their own long list of bands around the same time. the thing is...you weren't there....just like i wasn't there. you think just cause you have some shitty little youtube fanboy page that you're a true scene homo. the fuck out.

[TheNewMusicNetwork]

@mastadonius You're clearly just a poser. I was actually around the early scene via my older sister and I grew up in L.A.

Go spam another video thread since you can't function and you're unable to debate the facts. The middle class started in 77 and released their first record in early 78. Black flag followed just afterwards.

Go look it up on discogs . com or google if you're too retarded to know hardcore history.

Or feel free to search 'the middle class - out of vogue' on youtube, dummy

[mastadonius]

@TheNewMusicNetwork who even uses the word poser anymore? is LA that far behind that they still use homo slang? regardless the bands that you mentioned...fucking suck! i'd much rather listen EC hard core any day!

[TheNewMusicNetwork]

@mastadonius the bands I mentioned like, black flag, circle jerks, middle class, tsol, D.I., the detours, rino 39, the skulls, etc etc. came before the lame ass ones you like and they fucking house any of the weak EC faggot shit you queers listen to.

case closed

[TheNewMusicNetwork]

@mastadonius yeah were so far behind that you retards had to copy our sound 2 years later. hahahahaha

lofl.

e.o.f.

[mastadonius]

@TheNewMusicNetwork its funny how you're still on this bullshit.

[TheNewMusicNetwork]

@mastadonius what are you? his boyfriend or something? I made your friend look like the liar he is.

enough said.

you are free to flame away as well. notice my comments made the popular area. haha

*out*

[mastadonius]

@TheNewMusicNetwork most likely because you post on the same fucking thread all the time. bottom line is you talk alll this shit from the other side of the country because no ones close to you. drop the bull shit and get fucking bent. you're pathetic.

[uberscheisse]

@TheNewMusicNetwork the first use of "Hardcore" in this context is DOA's "Hardcore '81". DOA - Vancouver band. Yes, this is the part where you stop running your mouth. 

[TheNewMusicNetwork]

@uberscheisse hahaha pure bullshit and lies on your part. go watch the decline of western civilization documentary where exene cervenka talks about, "this new hardcore sound" that was coming out from the orange county bands in 79.

nice though.

btw 81 was the ending of the first wave of hardcore, at least in l.a.

case closed

[uberscheisse]

@TheNewMusicNetwork the usage of "hardcore" as an adjective by exene cervenka in an undated interview is totally different than its use as a music genre. ask anyone from that time, and the answer will be DOA. they were the first band that inspired all those bands to get off their asses and tour. you're right that LA had some cool shit, but in the end it's way too big for its britches. you seem to be proof of this. 

[TheNewMusicNetwork]

@uberscheisse <---------------FUCKING MORON,

undated? pure rejectamenta(things that have been rejected as worthless).

The interview is from the decline of western civ. documentary from 1980. footage is from 79.

google for the date of the doc if you don't believe me, KOOK.

no one is going to cite DOA as the first hardcore band nor are they going to cite them with coining if first since it is a word to define fast punk rock in L.A. around 79.

case closed.

[uberscheisse]

@TheNewMusicNetwork so why is only exene saying it in the movie, you stupid fucking tit?

she uses it as an adjective - a very common adjective to define counterculture at that time, especially pornography.

NO OTHER PERSON IN THAT FUCKING MOVIE says the word "hardcore" at any time. if it was such a household fucking word, why was it only exene who said it, in passing? why were all the other bands yelping "punk rock" all the fucking time?

DOA coined the term. your sources are weak.

[TheNewMusicNetwork]

@uberscheisse It was a universal word at the time ya poo sniffing faggot ball licker. If you were alive in the area back then, which I was, that's what people called it.

Why don't you educate yourself a bit, Goon.

/watch?v=RzOivNpoOBM

[uberscheisse]

@TheNewMusicNetwork no source material cited, I have nowhere to go with your argument.

[TheNewMusicNetwork]

I already cited the decline documentary on here from 79', dumb fuck. why don't you youtube it? or should I hold your hand.

[uberscheisse]

@TheNewMusicNetwork i own it on VHS. the only mention of the word "hardcore" is from exene. i know we're arguing about semantics here, but it was in passing and used as an adjective. nobody used it to define "music genre" until 1981. ask around.

[TheNewMusicNetwork]

@uberscheisse no it wasn't. john doe mentioned it as well as some club owners from the masque.

get a brain transplant, retard.

[TheNewMusicNetwork]

@uberscheisse she aint the only one who said it, bozo. She is just one of the earliest punks back then so I figured it would lend credibility but you seem to be stuck in 81 with the 2nd wave of hardcore, because that's when the second wave started. too band you fags were so late. HA HA HA HA

here's another video for you, simian.

/watch?v=QM8bk3NMKNw

pay attention bozo because that's when doa started to learn what hardcore was, FROM AN L.A. hardcore BAND that started in 78.

[uberscheisse]

@TheNewMusicNetwork i was talking about "in the movie". i checked out your channel and it's clear you don't know fuck all about hardcore/punk or whatever. you're just another faggot who wants to think he writes for a legitimate music magazine but doesn't get that he's just another faggot on youtube.

your knowledge of history is abysmal, you need to stop talking. i am now going to watch some pornography and try to forget that your parents ever fucked and spat out a cunt-potato.

[TheNewMusicNetwork]

@uberscheisse DEAR GOD YOU ARE FUCKING STUPID. you're just spamming like some bozo now. I happened to like some other music as well as hardcore. take a look farther down my favs. I have a lot of classic hardcore as well as new bands.

[loobers29]

Love it all except for the blatant cuts during the guitar solo.

[Sandyblue6]

AAAAAAwesome collection, thanx 4 sharing!!!

[BrayniacTHEoriginal]

no i am just a little like him

[Flunder]

I always come back to Henry Roliins.always.Taering is the damn best.

[allen770]

Yeah . . . I remember when this CD appeared and it didn't even have . . . the Titles of the Songs to "click" to (so you had to listen to the entire album to get to "tearing" !!!!) which is kind of a funny concept, esp re Rollins!!!

[CaliforniaTD]

2:47 to the end is just so great.

[shawnmazzola]

friggin' rawks.

[buybulkwhey]

Love it!!!

[SnypR]

this was the song that got me into Henry

[shawnmazzola]

@SnypR me too, along with "You didn't Need" off that old, totally ass-kicking live album whose name I can't remember right now (...anyone?)

[SnypR]

@shawnmazzola Insert Band Here, live in Australia 1990

[JediKeSula]

I used to think this song was shit but now i think i get it.

[downincognito76]

rollins is no music genius thats 4 sure , his music is crap

[darkwaterblue]

Your a clueless dick, thats for sure :)

[The50feetdeep]

@downincognito76 u are crap u will have runny crap when henry pees in ur butt

[dlonegunman]

Rise Above, Hank ! You dominate !

[goretrade1234]

i was there this was done at the ritz in elizabeth,n.j. and it was free to get in

[coopernightmare]

@goretrade1234 --Cool! I was there too! We were warned not to jump on the stage because Henry was known for hitting stagedivers. Being a stupid 19 year old, I did it anyway. Henry shoved me HARD off the stage and I slammed to the ground. OUCH!

Fun day though. Even though I can't see myself in the video.

[marleySux]

best rollins song ever

[organbank]

@marleySux : no way Gun In Mouth Blues my man!

[erocdelashaw]

haskett is the man...

[ghostrid3]

great stuff

[andsalomoni]

2:46 one of the greatest changes I've ever heard.

[bamarules30]

this is one of my favorite albums ever. i wore an end of silence t-shirt with the sun on the back until it fell apart. bought it at one of their shows

[AJtheory]

I've Still Got That Shirt

[joey6704]

hell yeah man, ive got one too, need another, true rollins fans

[toneyshots826]

@joey6704 right mother fucking here....

[ManilaSyndicate]

Been listening to "The End of Silence" lately and it's never sounded better. One of the greatest Rock recordings of all time.

[gremiohornet]

Australian TV yes, know it well, 2 songs Low Self Opinion and Tearing 100% Rollins band full steam. I think it was a show hosted by Andrew Denton. I had it VHS for years.

[raaaabert]

Has anyone seen this live Australian television circa 1992ish? It was AWESOME - trying to find it again....

[elizabethtarkington]

iONLY LOVE THE GUITARIST. WHO IS THAT GUY?

[elizabethtarkington]

I know his name, HASKETT. I mean the metaphysical "WHO", the GENIUS IN HIM.

[dmd813]

Sim Cain

[pyromaniacmatt]

Not heard this for YEARS!

Still kicks ass.

[LeHankster]

PERFECTION

[ollieroks]

sorry to really hear that.

[aaszx1]

masterpiece

[gdfjf1]

that was a long explanation in your heading but what album was this from?? what year?? what year was the video??

[paulibaer]

hi!

The official version of the song is from the album "The End of Silence" 1992.

There are older versions from 1989 or so...

[Fightordie14]

why is the song cut short. that sucks

[gdfjf1]

it wasnt

[MrRobBanks]

Rollins is a true working mans entertainer

[carlosthegaucho]

This is maybe like my all time favorite Rollins Band song, it's rolling like a muscle car without brakes

[boydii76]

this LP is in its entirety amazing. henry has helped me thru alot with his music. not to mention the amazing musicianship of every member of the rollins band. haskett was sick!!! sim was sick . both bassists they had were great. their sonic assault defined  me in high school

[nakedgun93]

This song played at the end of our bus-rides into the opposing teams lair...

Got us a little bit fired-up!

[whammann]

I hate when songs are edited to make them more media friendly. This solo is great, such a shame they felt the need to cut it.....

[instantbrother]

Rollins Band is just pure talent. Sim Cain dominates on the rock kit like no other...

Two facts: 1. I saw Tool (Undertow Tour) open for Rollins at Mississippi Nights in St.Louis. Probably the greatest show in any lifetime to be at. Like 80 people there. Unreal...

Then like 2 years ago I was stuck in traffic in Hollywood on the 101 and there was Henry in his Subaru (cool to see he was smart about such a car in L.A.) and of course gave him the "you rule" thumbs up.

He knew what's up.

[Surfanimal1990s]

henry's too damn awesome!This song rocks!!!!!!

[zagan1]

I think this song is a bit longer than this as the end part from 3:10 on happens twice in the proper video clip.

Once at the start then another shorter bit near the end.

[aaronious2]

Hank doesn't know it, but I have already accepted him as my surrogate father...

[Graffin93]

i guess henry can kicks everyone asses, i dont know why

[jmsdnstn]

This is gotta be one of Rollins best songs ever! It's seriously a dangerous tune! Listen to the lyrics some one has really fucked this guy over in the past! So much raw emotion! I can almost feel his pain! Rollins Band is like therapy. It gets you through the hard times!

[aaronious2]

i love this fucking song so much

[elizabethtarkington]

Very perceptive! jmsdnstn. I CAN feel henry's pain. he seems a gentle, sensitive poet, despite bench pressing volksvagans, and all that muscle.

[nakedgun93]

Henry rules! For a crazy guy; just kiddin. He's a great guy, with a lot to say.

My band used to try and cover this song, but it's really tough to hit that intensity! One of my favorite all-time songs

[juanchiiii9999]

como  sacude esta band!!

me encanta!

[Flunder]

Henry looks like he could bench press a VW.

[musicvidbuff1]

i think someone wants their ass torn open

[Soonersaint40]

acspiers-great post. This is my favorite Rollins Band song of all time. People have been telling me I sound like Sim Cain since I moved to Austin approximately 100 years ago. Nice to still know someone appreciates the style.

[RastaBot]

That man is so awesome LIVE!!! So much energy you can feed off!!! Thanks for sharing the vid!!

[acspiers]

great to see rollins band in the original format - sim cain's drum cage; haskett with hair and ol' andy weiss before the introduction of the melvin gibbs bass distortion air strike of the later albums. Henry shames Phil Anselmo and the pantera babes back to their redneck texan pussy rock roots; locks them in a room until they pee themselves and promise never to do it again.

Ask Henry, he'll tell you.

[djscrewfan69]

uh fuck off. texas isnt full of rednecks like idiots think. saw rollins band bout 8 years ago in austin. great show

[Chulaan]

End of the Silence is a true testament of Henry's iconic style and genius. In my opinion, it's his most important album.

[Julma1975]

The best Rollins Band song ever

[wyldkatt2005]

better than "what am i doin here?" on Lifetime?

[poolpig]

I wish I could give you more'n one thumbs up!

[wyldkatt2005]

i wish i could get that album on CD

[JudasAngel666]

@Julma1975 What about Liar? or Low Self opinion? those are also really good.

[mastadonius]

@JudasAngel666 Liar sucked. Most of weight was horrible. Fool was ok and disconnect was true rollins form. but the end of silence was fucking epic. and no one can say anything about come in and burn. that's some fucking phoenix shit.

[JudasAngel666]

@mastadonius Granted Liar wasn't THE BEST but it was decent. and also The end of Silence is one of Rollin's best.

[Flunder]

I love this.Henry Rollins man? whew.pretty damn solid. :)

[pwarren1010]

Better walk away.

[EvanMonster]

Rock n' roll!!!

[carcss]

very good song

[feeltrip79]

the starting few notes and rhythm of the bass sounds like purple haze intro?

[jongard1]

great song. like watching the live version better, but cant find on here now.

[Goratory666]

phil anselmo and henry rollins stood the same way on stage, lol

[fatmanosman]

anselmo definatelly took notes from Rollins...maybe not so much in the 'not fucking yourself up on drugs' part though! Both total legends all the same!

[Goratory666]

what are you talkin about anselmo was a saint! pantera were straight edge!! lmfao

[Chuunin90]

Great music :)

[chunkymonkey121]

henrys the shit!

[jogoldm]

This is just real!

Miss something like that these days!

[collapsedknee]

One of their best...

Hail to the Henry :-))

[d1390arena5]

es un exelente video y una exelente cancion
