Henry Rollins interview on Rove

[JacqueRamon]

Typical of Rove to fuck up an interview with such an interesting person. He has no fucking idea.

[thegov08]

Rove is such a hack.

[darinbar]

Good interview. 

[bojanks15]

from the thumbnail I thought the interviewer was Ben Stiller

[tmofee]

@bojanks15 he's about as funny as ben stiller too ;)

[MRLUCKYSEVANS]

seems like a really nice guy...

[tommyt1971]

@MRLUCKYSEVANS Met him a couple of yrs ago, he IS.

[loogiemaster308]

I watched it then, watched it again just now. HONK> Always have loved Hank. C him everytime he's here in Australia.

[rud3m3chanical]

Aww man, I love this guy.

[horrificpunkfreak]

His Chins What Makes Him Look Tough

[timbo177]

[thecemeteryrapist]

[peppermntnightmar3]

@jublywubly well put

[ExtremeBogom]

Rove needs to come back on TV.

[uiruu]

great interview

[Squishy876]

I loooove him

[obsc3n3skull]

4 people are morons.

[espada9]

@obsc3n3skull: So if you don't agree with the "entertainer" you are a moron? You're brilliant.

[obsc3n3skull]

@espada9 I guess so...

[austin99203]

Wow. Henry is so not what he used to be. What happened to him being a punk ass and turning the interview around???

[44eelz]

smart, if hes gay he wont have to sleep wit her

[RickySwindle]

Henry should have punched Rove.

[rawfflecakes]

he says the same things usually in each interview

[rosieknitter]

"Hypocrisy, we're dripping in it." LOL

[ShawnLFDY]

siiiigh. i wana touch him XD nd his brain*gets a boner w non existent penis*

[onyachamp]

hanks' the man.outspoken and eyes wide open. you can't help but respect his honesty

[Atarismum]

Nervous hugs... YES!

[Segadoway]

I can comment on the hug question, having hugged him myself, he is a good hugger.

[eberhardt991]

Henry's famous now. He's on Australian t.v.

[electronicmedium]

9/11 was an inside job

[nykstukaigeriakava]

Henry Rollins is so great.

[FreedumbFighter28]

"It was a queen size"----hahahahaha

[deathtotheism]

I don't like the troops. I don't like anyone who fights for a government.

[onyachamp]

@deathtotheism most serve the country and not the government. i don't know of 1 person nor do i think i will ever meet 1 person who likes any current/former or future government.the defence forces in australia are not even allowed to vote.the soldiers killed in conflict don't die for the goverment,they die for your freedom.your freedom to believe there are no gods,your freedom to comment on youtube,your freedom to raise your kids in a safe environment.don't dislike the troops, dislike pollies

[troyrkd]

@onyachamp defence personnel within australia ARE allowed to vote. just like everyone else..

[onyachamp]

@troyrkd me mate's been telling me porkies then.

[elliott3663]

Im sure he used to sing about how much he hates people like this.

Everyone becomes the things they hate in this world..

[angels77100]

That was a cool interview. Rollin's and Rove seemed to be on the same wave-lenght.

[sjfan1]

I want a Henry Hug, too. :[

[athousandpins]

If Henry Rollins were president, and an incident happened like it did in the senate when that Senator from South Carolina yelled "You Lie!" at Obama, Rollins would have jumped over the podium and kicked that guys ass.

C-Span would be my favorite channel.

[jogoldm]

Exactly. I´m a german and I´m not guilty of what my grandfathers did

or what they let the Nazis do. Resistance should be taught in school.

I hope I would have reacted different than my grandfathers! But that´s not sure

[cristianlp84]

rollins always drops truth bombs

[i3u7n5]

re: the apologetic "hypocrisy" bit about Thanksgiving. hank must have forgotten he was talking to an Australian who have their own legacy of killing off and disenfranchising native people. I really wish he'd drop the self effacing American bullshit. We're *all* guilty of something...

[jublywubly]

@i3u7n5

"We". I (an Australian) am not guilty of anything people may have done in the past. Nor is Henry guilty of what past Americans did, and nor are you guilty of what people have done in the past. It's incorrect to assume people of any particular race guilty for what others of that particular race may have done in the past. Everyone is an individual. (and no-one chooses which race to be born into)

[chuckb11]

@jublywubly Australia isn't a military power that uses it's global clout to effect political change. That's where the difference lies. I don't think he ever attempts to make amends for things that happened in the past, only ensure that people understand that what the american administration does and what he american people want are often two different things.

[i3u7n5]

@jublywubly I was using "we" as a generalized term...basically I'm agreeing with you

[pvsuckzcock]

@jublywubly right on dude

[ArnBucketeer]

@jublywubly Everyone is guilty of something regardless of race and orientation. Big or small. Tiny or huge. It's in our blood.

[UberNoodleX]

@jublywubly You AREN'T an individual in such a context. You are part of society, and such, have an inheritance which sometimes requires acknowlegement as to how that inheritence was first attainted. It isn't about guilt, because you are right - we can't be guilty for things we didn't do. Although we can't choose which race we are born into, that is bizzare point because we are unable to choose anything before we are born. However, we can choose to equalise the status quo set up by our ancestors.

[natmanprime]

@jublywubly yes but if you're born into comfort as a result of that shit you have a responsibility.

to use your priveliged position to fight on behalf of those that can't, or you perpetuate the immorality.

we're all living off of blood money in other words

[cobydick8]

@jublywubly This should be printed on the coinage of every country in the world.

I've felt the same way my entire life.

[oem42]

@jublywubly love the comment, right on

[TheSlothman01]

@jublywubly - that may be so, but Rove is guilty of being shit!

[Hzqi]

@i3u7n5

The guy is merely speaking for himself.

[MrDaledark]

I'm an American, and frankly Thanksgiving is bullshit. My ancestors have caused almost every problem in history. It's not my fault, but that doesn't give me the right to be apathetic about it. I (like most people) was stuffed full of lies in school and set loose upon a lawless world. I resent the fake America I was taught about, I resent the real America we live in, Thanksgiving, in light of Native persecution is just heartless, and ludicrous. We gave them small pox for fucks sake!!!!!!

[saneman13]

@MrDaledark

nice to hear from a yank.

[liam69love]

@i3u7n5 you're just blatantly unintelligent

[i3u7n5]

A stirring critique. Thanks, I'll work on it.

[liam69love]

@i3u7n5 yeah do us all a favour

[i3u7n5]

@liam69love Maybe you could exercise that brawny brain of yours and articulate what it is exactly you find so "blatantly" ignorant about what I said. I've been of fan of Henry's for over 25 years but I'm not a sycophant and I disagree with the new modern American patriotism that says you have to be be self effacing and apologetic to every other culture. Every nation on the planet has taken advantage of some group, it is not a uniquely American or Caucasian condition

[liam69love]

@i3u7n5 i shall however you will regret it: You view countries as templates for characteristics of character within individuals. this is just simply kindergarten retarded. see people in terms of upbringing, entertainment and not in racial stereotype. go read a book. learn that there is no such thing as society or the state.

[i3u7n5]

@liam69love Actually, what is kindergarten and retarded is posturing and making insults and assumptions. Nothing in your reply spoke to anything I've said, rather, you made vague, bullshit, sociology 101 type remarks sprinkled with arrogance in an attempt to sound worldly and informed but really haven't said anything. If those kind of smarts work for you then by all means, milk it. you could be an awesome politician.

[liam69love]

@i3u7n5 don't worry i didn't expect you to understand it. let alone read it.,

[i3u7n5]

@liam69love Hah, man you must get laid left and fucking right with that kind of ability for bullshit. I'm *obviously* unable to keep up (yawn) but I really hope you employ all that impressive, articulate, persuasive brainpower and go doing something useful. We certainly need informed, switched on persons like yourself out there making the world a better place in spite of people like *me* :)

[liam69love]

@i3u7n5 aha.. testoreone trip?

[UberNoodleX]

@i3u7n5 We cannot be 'guilty' for things we didn't do. We can however ACKNOWLEGE the acts of our ancestors, especially when those acts still have wounds left unhealed.

[dspornak]

love henry rollins!

[ytrewqasfd]

and i admit there has been some stupid mistakes where people have been killed by coalition forces but thats life its an inevitable fact with the war and i also admit its been handles quite poorley but then what do i know and what does anyone one on youtube know really none of you are coalition generals planning how to rebuild iraq

[ytrewqasfd]

fuck im sick of people going on about the civilian deaths in iraq its a war its goin to happen look how many civillians died in ww2 and yeh i agree thats its tragic and all that but someone had to stop saddam he was a pyschopath and a despot and yeh the i agree the war was about oil but none the less saddam needed to be removed and its not as if the coalition went into iraq saying were going to kill as many innocens as possible they take every precaution to minimise civillian deaths

[poddylamb]

@ytrewqasfd Yeah its true that the Saddam was insane, and its true the war is about oil. But there are so many better ways to uproot a dictator, and rebuild a nation than to send thousands of troops to their deaths, and murder thousands of civilians. Think of all the political regimes that have been halted by assasination, revolutions funded by governments or support from the UN. There were numorous better ways to achieve the goal of eliminating Hussein's dictatorship.

[gangstagaff]

Yeah, no one seemed concerned about him being a despot when the US was all buddy buddy with him (when all this shit supposedly went down). And what's the difference between being killed by a despotic leader or an invading force? Wake the fuck up. Oh, and LMAO @ comparing the Iraqi invasion to WW2.

[igvu92]

no rollins isnt a phony fuck. you are because u talk shit about him over youtube. say it to his face and he will eat ur little pussy ass alive

[flagwaver1969]

hehe... you talk alot of shit for a punk with zits.

[sabergun]

eat his tiny pussy?

cool that's fearsome

[rekinescu]

cool guy henry...I appreciate his compassion for the soldiers and all but I've never heard him say a word about a million civilians killed in iraq.selective compassion it's no compassion at all bro.

[lord69z]

Millions of civilians killed... by whom? carpet bombing ? No.. they are being blownup by their own coutrymen(and women sometimes)

Its called a civil war, America ignited it but it was there WAY before ... I personally hope to see a unified Iraq that is free. That WOULDNT have happened without this war.

Although i wish countries could have removed him a better way.

[firdaus125]

Actually a lot are still killed by American soldiers, sorry to burst your bubble

[lord69z]

@firdaus125 I dont remember stating NO IRAQI civilians has ever been either killed intentionally or unintentionally by a Coalition soldier.

[firdaus125]

Ok sorry let me rephrase that. Iraq in the past was NO way similar to the way it is now. There was definitely much fewer(if extremely seldom) bombings.

[lord69z]

@firdaus125 I bet Germany was better under Hitler when you looked at Germany after it fell.

You wanna go back to dictarorship? You sounds pretty evil to me.

Oh and go ask the Kurds what they think of the invasion.

[firdaus125]

I'm just saying, the war could have gone in a different approach. Don't make it seem like America invaded Iraq because of their kindness bullshit. There are tonnes of dictatorships over in africa, yet you never even see US troops ever entering. Remember mogadishnu? They left and never returned. im saying if i had to choose millions of people dying vs a dictatorship i would choose the latter.

[thepeter]

@rekinescu well, american soldiers usually speak english and he tries to tell his message to people that are selectively compassionate.

[WATPOAE]

doesn't mean he has never said it. I think you'd need to ask him that question yourself in order to get the truth.

[endofsomething]

There are many interviews and spoken word shows where Henry talks about civilian casualties in Iraq and other places. He is acutely aware of such tragedy. You ought to watch more interviews with him, he really does have a lot to say, peace.

[blackcats70]

hehe hes a funny guy

[SauerkrautProduction]

LMAO "i dont know if i wanna ask this last one..." GO AHEAD. i love henry lol

[governmentcheese411]

he'd turn gay for barb bush,LMAO! omg thats priceless,lol!

[connberkshire]

ROLLINS FTW!!!

[Happy0]

He done really well in the time he was given... For someone that's used to talking for about 3 hours. xD

[ManilaSyndicate]

Heh heh. Rollins looked personable and calm and gave one of his best public appearances. If only the guy were normal he would have been great. But I guess he wouldn't have been an artist.

[kyjello12]

"who would you turn gay for" "barbra bush". didnt even skip a beat.

[themooddisorders]

@kyjello12 That was awesome!

[Luchiadh]

Wow, that's amazing. He had his "Barbara Bush" answer on the tip of his friggin' tongue. He was -ready- for that question.

[petethebastard]

He's often VERY ready for lots of questions!

He thinks...

PtB

[SmokinBabies]

wow henry rollins is the coolest fuckin dude

[EkalbRepsaj]

i honestly couldn't put it in better, more accurate words.

[PieceofMindmusic]

hahah when henry yells 'go ahead!' it sounds just like right before the solo on "Forever Time" off of black flag's My War record......gawd im a nerd.. :]

[NewClearTwist]

I think I'm in love...

[iammadedeath]

The hug was classic!

[AnarchyIsNotChaos319]

I saw Rollins on a spoken word tour last summer. The one I went to was free too. I got to meet him. Hes no taller than me and I'm like 5' 8". It was great.

[GreggleZz]

0:16 ahhaha

[McNugget06]

HE WAS IN HEAT! He's god!

[colbyj32]

Barbra Bush!!! That is fuckin hilarious

[jakenfriedlove]

with those glasses he reminds me of milo aukerman

[schwarzblatt]

Henry seems a lot brighter and happier in the last several years than he was in the past. Definitely still intense, just not as stand-offish or harshly critical.

[chawk111]

I've barely herd of this guy (American speaking) and now he's on the biggest talk show in Australia?

[jublywubly]

He has his own music/talk-show in America. He's also had his own band "Rollins Band" for the past twenty years. ;-) I've been to his spoken word shows twice. Well worth the money. He was on stage for about two hours non-stop each time! Amazing to hear him talk. He can go off topic a bit for ten minutes, then go back to what he was talking about without missing a beat. :-)

[chawk111]

I guess some ppl are more popular in export than they are domestically...

[kuronataku]

I don't belive that is true with this guy. I've seen him twice (in Canada) and he's VERY popular in North America. Both shows I went to, 3 and a half hours non-stop! It was amazing, and I can't wait for him to come back into town!

[NumroZero]

@jublywubly He was also in the first hardcore American band Black Flag and he's known for being a mad opinionated straightedge

[SamLikesWolf]

@jublywubly ..and he was the lead singer of black flag, one of the best hardcore bands in the 80s..

[heroheidr]

@jublywubly: Ya know he got his start as the front guy for Black Flag. Great band that is really missed.

[thedivys]

excellent!

[HardAsARock222]

henry is the man!

[KurtCobainof21]

He is so fucking well built. Id love to look like him

[smileynirvana2]

yeah hes dreamy

[tommyt1971]

Gosh, I dunno if I wanna ask you this last question--

GO 'HEAD!!!!

Never fails to make me laugh or make me think!

[himanshu67623]

aquarius!!! \m/

[Carlinlack]

rove is a fucking wanker

[tceis1]

How about i give you a spoon, and you can eat my ass!

[wangsuk7]

I don't know why, but that really made me laugh. Good on you.

[mistresmojo]

Rove always does great interviews. HR is so fascinating.

[rockalyptic]

haha, the nervous hug was hillarious

[justjules1969]

I agree with u sherpa285!!!

I love Henry!!!

[xHAILxSATANx]

ROLLINS!!!! BLACKFLAG!

[JingleJoe]

7:21 YOU COME HERE! :D

[sherpa285]

I don't know this Aussie's show or persona, but I've gotta say: I've watched a lot of Hank interviews over the years, and--as far as mainstream type shows--this is the only person I've seen who knew how to handle Hank and have a good time. Usually they have the "you're a legend"-vibe, or a "you're such a weird loner"-vibe.

[smokingbandit67]

CUZ IM A LIAR

A LIAR

A LIARRRRRR

[Sensoriexpansion69]

The hannity and coombs show of aussie-land. can't escape the fascsim wherever go.

[audioslave187]

I cant believe Henry went on this shitty show.

[Zebraboar]

ha

i laugh in fear of this man

[JDarkley]

Barbra Bush! ROFL!

Another reason that Henry is God.

[InKa4484]

afuckinmen

[machinesbreathe]

Is it me or could Henry Rollins pass for Milo Aukerman's brother when wearing horn-rimmed glasses?

[Paonk]

Yes! The whole time looking at him with the glasses the one thing that came to mind was Descendents' album covers.

[NosferatuNite]

lol yeah that was henry before he took steroids lol haha badass album btw man kudos to u for thinkin that

[AllApologiesMike]

@Paonk

Henry Goes To College.

[guitardude5000]

lol this is great

[bixby1982]

barbara bush... lmfao

[sindrec8]

henry rollins sux police rulz

[nhilist99]

Thanks for the post. I'm an old rocker who always rated ROLLINS as the most overrated idiot in the rock world but I finally found a vid where he comes across as a well spoken, likeable, humble guy. And thats with Australias biggest dill interviewing him. Amazing. Still DO NOT rate him as a vocalist at all.

[RottenCanoe]

Winch the WOMEN up?? That's fuuuuuucked up!

How could you sleep THERE? Actually I mean..I can see how you could SLEEP there, but that's still wway crazy...what a sick ass fuckin' family...I still don't know why we're in Iraq, but at least those fucks are dead

[tacoma1968]

AWESOME!!!

[triviumcunt]

barbera bush lol

that was the best part

[GlowStormLion]

I really dig this Rove guy (already knew of Rollins, of course) that was a slick interview.. wit + intelligence, I can get it

[GGluva]

yeah unfortunately rove is Australias only real talk show host.

In reality, he is a childish, unintellegent douchebag.

[Anolenial]

Cool cool, haven´t seen this up on Youtube yet =)

Much appreciated!

[the20thcenturyfox]

A rape room is not a tourist attraction! WTF?

[pwarren1010]

Lets fight a war against the Bush family

[GaeasBlessing]

Interviewer seems like a semi-intelligent fuckwit. But ROLLINS RULES!

[CrusadesAngel666x]

Thats because he is... but he's really not supposed to be giving intellectual interviews because he's a comedian... but still i mean it's Henry fucking Rollins for fucks sake! lol when you play with the big boys....

[CrusadesAngel666x]

Henry Rollins RULES!!!

[wiggaroo]

Barbara Bush eh?

[leavy1]

I think I'd have dropped Ann Coulter.

[thedivys]

glad henry mentioned the hypocrisy of thanksgiving

[heid138]

THANK YOU!!!
