Henry Rollins talking about Ween

[SCROGY]

Why does Rollins hate on U2? I love Ween and U2.  Maybe the people that are getting off on having a pissing contest with their musical tastes should learn to love both bands. Problem solved.

[BlackHoleBrew42]

@SCROGY u2 is shit, listen to Eric Dolphy or John Coltrane.... a fucking men

[SCROGY]

@BlackHoleBrew42 Early U2 is amazing. They pretty much suck after Achtung Baby but you aren't convincing me. Besides If I wanna hear some jazz I prefer Miles Davis. And If I wanna hear something completely original I'll listen to Morphine.

[CJman327]

Damn, why all the hate on Rollins? He can be pretentious but he sticks to his convictions like a motherfucker and actively gives a shit. He also tends to be a bit extreme but I think a lot of people need to hear this guy rant and share his views. He doesn't hold back. He's the shit. Oh, and WEEN FUCKING RULES.

[l1f3in89VISION]

@TeeneNY

ween > rattle and hum

f*ck you

[johnmoser01]

Ween is the greatest band of all time. GodWeenSatan is the greatest album of all time. The Pod is up there as well.

[TeeneNY]

rattle and hum > ween

rattle and hum > black flag, henry rollins band

EVERY fucking time

[swingAE86]

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN

[ustink0815]

this guy was boring in the 90's.

[MrPubua]

lordy lordy lord im coming home.

[MrherZ84]

oh brothers of boognish, ween saves lives

[HereToCorrectYou]

Half Man Half Biscuit - You're Hard

It's the place to start if you want a perfect demonstration of British sarcasm

"Henry Rollins Henry Rollins You're Hard You're Hard"

[sabotazfats]

91?

[basehead617]

what year was this?

[Dusterooni]

Boognish is best you bitches,he's hailing the all mighty Ween,and so should you all for your immortal salvation.

[CrackFiend101]

this is the only time i've ever respected henry rollins input on anything.

[snowbunnybaby69]

ween is the best! yayuh! :D

[rendertank]

Shit. I think I was I at this show back in 1990 or something?! Dude was rocking the fork glasses with the aviator hat!!! Was this from City Gardens?

[PhillyPhunk]

@rendertank Its from Jersey City , NJ

[koldslaw]

Hes Gay.... Lets go surf

[gregnicenh]

Half the people posting on this clip are complete idiots... He's not bashing Ween, he's saying they're genius AND HE"S GOD DAMN RIGHT.

RESPECT THE BOOGNISH

[rebeccamykitten]

He's only half joking. It's half the truth.

It's just hilarious.

[rabbitnosekid]

yeah he's talking about how ween kicks ass....

[chevguy57]

Why is Henry saying ween are crap when he invited Dean ween to sing "Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie" on the "Rise Above" west memphis three album. Does that mean his saying his own album is shit. I Enjoy Henrys work but some times he just talks shit!

[hunyakaning]

@chevguy57 he's not saying they're crap, just the opposite 

[Wargoat6]

@chevguy57 I used to think his spoken word was great, until I realized that all he does is shit on everything. I still like his music, though.

[groundzer077]

@chevguy57 You should probably listen to the whole thing....he's a fan.

[MrShetty25]

the house of love - christine is brilliant. sorry

[SCROGY]

I agree with Rollins view on Ween, but he just dissed U2? Fuck that. The first 6 U2 albums are anything but safe music. Their recent output has sucked but the first 6 U2 albums are fucking brilliant.

[Teebonemendez]

I'm amazed how much hate there is for Rollins. I can't stand his music but think he is absolutely amazing and that the world would be a much better place if people had a similar attitude and outlook on life.

[wallcrawler32]

god i fucking love ween

[omgtehoro]

Yeah, this guy is worthless.

[slackim]

if you wanted to use proper English, you should have said "if you are to speak badly about somebody..."

[Mootaku]

Ween are awesome...Henry Rollins is a douche

[halifuckinfan]

@Mootaku Dude likes Ween, how is he doucheing?

[Mootaku]

@halifuckinfan

Henry Rollins is pretentious. He walks around like he is this great philosopher and poet... He was in a mediocre band then a REALLY mediocre band and now thinks his spoken word is so filled with sage like nuggets of punk proverbs.... He is just a meat head douche.

[halifuckinfan]

@Mootaku So what?

[Lemure333]

@Mootaku Thanks...finally others see through his tough ass attitude... he is so ego driven an on a high horse...I love black flag but separating the art from the artist...

[frostedwinter]

Ween is awesome

[greydawn]

So many colors in the homo rainbow

[Exilemainstreet]

I agree with every word this guy says, especially about U2.

[Lifesucksdie123]

ween's makes musics good.

[teg95]

God Ween Satan

[willdownes4]

yes, WEEN!

[NOTgarycoleman]

Henry Lawrence Garfield grew up in one of the wealthiest neighborhood in DC. Went to an exclsive Preppy School and all that shit. Yet want to project onto the world all his self hatred. Fuck him. He's about as relevant as a used tampon.

[halifuckinfan]

@NOTgarycoleman He got sent to a reform school troll.

[NOTgarycoleman]

Like anyone gives two squirts of piss what some 5 foot 2 roided out assrag named Henry Lawrence GARFIELD thinks about Ween. Pffft. Fuck you Hollywood Henry.

[dudeomondo]

H R is a big fat joke....I was given a free ticket and sat through 3 hours of his drivel ....guess the jokes on me...seriously thought he was gonna sing.... Wasted night.... I had too pee so bad filled water bottle up and threw it at him!!!!!

[evilagent]

@dudeomondo - If you're so stupid that you thought you were going to see a music show, then you deserved the disappointment. Rollins is awesome.

[fuctanyway]

i like ween . fun end.(:

[creepycridler]

@boobjob69 if you are gonna talk bad about somebody or claim they are stupid maybe you should try to use proper English.

[boobjob69]

ween rules, but every time i listen to rollins talk i feel dumber then before

[missalove2482]

@boobjob69

You probably are just getting dumber by the day on your own. It is THAN not then you moron.

[sydferret]

Henry, The Rollins Band is what we need now.

[TheBaldBastid]

Andrew Weiss produced some of Weens best stuff. Not surprising Henry likes em.

[kevin652010]

I think RKL(rich kids on LSD) put it best when they sang, 'Scab on my Brain', during their rocknroll nitemare.

[brandonendres]

Holy crap, Henry Rollins really pushed Ween. People that hate Ween are really lame. Can you really hate a band that has songs such as; poop ship destroyer, flies on my dick, help me scrape the mucos off my brain????? I would love for bands to stop taking THEMSELVES so important, and play some freggin music. Ween always makes sense even when they don't. I can't explain help me scrape the music off my brain.

[kevin652010]

Fuck you, midget. Rollins is riding with the King!!!!!!

[Aesop16180339887]

I ran into Henry Rollins outside of the Newport theater in 1995 coming out of a string shop. He's like 5'3".

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

[TheBaldBastid]

@Aesop16180339887 I used to run the Newport. Its not "a string shop" its "The String Shop".

p.s. Henry Rollins isnt 5'3".

p.p.s- Ween fucking RULZ!

p.p.s- Andrew Weiss produced Weens best stuff!

p.p.p.s- Whats round on the ends and hi in the middle?

[Aesop16180339887]

@TheBaldBastid -googling says he's 5'9", so I suppose my memory exaggerated it.

People tend to think larger than life personalities like Rollins being seven feet tall and such, that's all I meant.

and.. i'm really sorry if i hurt your feelings, I'll say "The String Shop" from now on.

[TheBaldBastid]

@Aesop16180339887 My feelings are made of metal. As are my fists. And balls.

[BillTheButcher13]

@TheBaldBastid ohio :p

[HerboftheSerb]

.... and it's FUCKING WEEN

[weenology]

Get on your filthy knees and crawl to the alter the is WEEN!!

[weenology]

@weenology

lol i got a typo in there

[zgolijan]

Commercial music sucks, Henry is so right.

[ArtificialEntity]

Dan7yeah Loves Edie Brickell and U2! Nah nah na na nah!

[zwind999]

ffffffffuck yeh henry rollins

[chaba07]

ONE RAY OF LIGHT!!!

[sonofboognish]

rolins rules with ween!!!!!!!!!!!!

[intothetopcorrupt]

Henry Rollins is a genius

[Dan7yeah]

Rollins is so annoying, who cares what Black Flags singer thinks

[kitsune2323]

@Dan7yeah He hasn't been Black Flags singer for over 20 years. If you would listen, you might learn something or at least laugh a little....

[PieceofMindmusic]

@Dan7yeah well apparently you do, sir. At least enough to click on this video and leave comment about it.

[kokoheal]

Love this! Rollins is fuckin' rad.

[PhillyPhunk]

I found the bootleg from this show !

The whole show is hilarious. Ween fans vs the white trash , killer set and band is on fire. Id like to plop it on youtube but im a total noob on how to make a picture vid with the tunes.

[alifeofarcticsounds]

@PhillyPhunk you should do that!!! if you have windows movie maker, which you probably do, its easy as shit.

[tedlicious]

How is this man a celebrity? He made music 25 years ago? Crass. Not funny. Dude has the vocabulary of a 12 year old. However, Ween is the hammer.

[ntrval]

@tedlicious wouldn't expect someone who posts videos of video games to their youtube channel to understand.

[sydbarrett5]

2:15 Can I get a witness?

[godweensatan8]

God Ween Satan

[Trembomb]

ween is monumental

[jesuswasakike00]

what year was this said?

[dirtbag1713]

is this video messed up for anyone else? doesn't seem to want to play properly. just sits on the loading screen forever

[smally804]

@dirtbag1713

Video does the same for me, it fully loads & then nothing will play. I've tried several times

[scubaduba23]

ONE ONE ONE ONE! LOL

[scubaduba23]

ONE ONE ONE ONE! LOL

[pimpnprofits]

I was smoking crack with this guy in a hotel in LA last week

[ItsAmyNotAmoeba]

@pimpnprofits No you weren't.

[ToBeDisabledSoon]

ne day I'm going to make "W.W.B.D.? What Would Booginsh Do?"

[Nagsworth]

What a fucking king this man is.

[kirsh]

Ween for president.

[PhillyPhunk]

I have this bootleg. Killer show. Its from Jersey City. Theres some fat white trash in the crowd giving ween a hard time. Papa Gene thoroughly humiliates the trash then Henry comes out to tell this idiots whats up.

[butero]

i crawled to the alter that is ween 18 years ago and haven't looked back.

[GreenRobotStudios]

WEEN IS THE BEST BAND EVER!!!

[countrapula]

Hahahaha.

I think Rollins is an uptight elitiest douchebag, but the man is fucking hilarious.

[ThePolariz]

The Boognish is everywhere! It's a spirit!

Thank God for Ween! Btw - God, Ween, Satan!

[PIXIEDUSTDEALER]

Ween and Henry make me smile

[Dmanlamius76]

Brilliant!!

[cryptocat71]

ween is god

[himjill]

Hank Nostradomas knows. Ween was, is, and always will be better than everyone. Even back then with a drum machine.

[Beefmouth]

Awesome, Ween are the shit!!

[zaknod]

haha this is fuckin great. ween is the shit. anyone what year this is?

[gax857w]

Rollins is great the Wonder Stuff and Ween are far superior though!

[HAILWEEN]

Anyone else notice the AWESOME url of this vid?!

[delmarian]

NsexzzllI LOL

[bdtighe]

@HAILWEEN awesome indeed!

[xuberchrisx]

@HAILWEEN not till u mentioned it, but its quite sexual

[DanjoFox]

Henry Rollins is a great man, just like Gene and Dean! Great men in music.

[creepycridler]

Idiot huh? You sound really smart sitting on the other side of your computer acting tough. If he is the biggest fag in the world then why did you listen? Who is is the idiot? I think it is clear. Stop talking....

[biggbugg35]

You replied to my comment sitting on the other side of your computer. Why did you read my comment. Why did i watch it? He was talking about Ween. I'm allowed to voice my opinion. Asking "Who is is the idiot?" doesn't clear anything up. Maybe in your double digit IQ it's clear.

[realdoogie]

pwnd

[FailedHornet]

fuck off why is rollins a fag bet he could beat your ass, i may not like his music but the guy is fucking cool

[doobopsheewaa]

@biggbugg35 you want to fuck all us fags??

[charliewecker]

@biggbugg35 YOU MAD.

[johnnysalami23]

he IS Arsenio Hall! and every bit as relevant!

[inf0dump]

Rollins isn't nearly as awesome as he thinks he is.

He's right about Ween though.

[CB900SS]

Dude, just shut the fuck up and play, Henry!

[johnbourbon]

ok. rollins is safe. FOR NOW.

[evilpup]

I reiterate what dafuzz92 said. I have a new found respect for Henry Rollins.

[jacob7207]

WTF I like Nitzer Ebb. The problem with Rollins is that he thinks everyone should be like him or else they are a dick. Listen to the majority of the crowd, a bunch of wankers.

[PieceofMindmusic]

$25 a ticket is exactly what they charge now. he predicted it completely.

[yothdagor]

he loves the sound of his own voice huh?

[bigligg67]

they ride their motorcycles better than they play their guitars...hes a walking, rocking quote machine.

[BondeMC]

I gladly just payed my $75 to see Ween later this fall. $25 for myself, and $50 to force two of my unsuspecting friends into the light!

[worldsworstjukebox]

You had my vote until you knocked Nitzer Ebb.

[jmkgarfield]

ween!...arron came into my work when i worked at bestbuy..fun shit...

[AOCRkid]

henry rollins is the shit.

[Blissinflux]

"Jesus Christ, what the fuck are they foisting on you today..."

That would be the Decemberists, Mr. Rollins.

[ravenx72]

I love you Henry Rollins,your such an intelligent man.And you have great taste in music!

[YourTwistedDesires]

4:41 LOL

[dafuzz92]

Wow... new found respect for Rollins

[ConnDevi88]

He sort of sounds like Quentin Tarantino. Both awesome guys. Ween have been my favorite band ever since i discovered there music in 2007.

[thailow117]

that's product placement. funny speech

[nerdhandle]

This was recorded at a show in 1990 at Trenton City Gardens when Ween opened for Rollins Band. It was after Ween's set and just before Rollins Band began their set. Also, Andrew Weiss was the bass player for Rollins Band.

[theboognish]

abosufuckinglutey.

WHAT YOU KNOW BOUT MOTHERFUCKING "TICK"?

[jdoncbus]

He's right - I hated Ween in '93 - by 2000 I was willing to sell my soul to boognish.

[damres]

i love you ween

[goodwitz]

when was this interview?

[creepycridler]

not sure.  I downloaded it from napster years ago.

[AutisticPersona]

new jersey I believe!! oh And HENRY ROLLINS FUCKING OWNS YOU!!

[skyzefawlun]

@creepycridler I still have a copy of this exact same clip that I got off napster way back in the day too :D

[robhugo]

edie brickell and "rattle and hum" references? this is old, late 80's I'd say

[kennhiser]

@goodwitz

not an interview, a spoken word gig at City Gardens in Trenton NJ - I was there - say about 89/90.

[BishopKnowsBest]

Hail BOOGNISH!!!

[jonxjquee]

i never heard of ween man they are strange

[ZiggyShiv]

fucking love ween

[LiquidPete2099]

Rollins is right, Ween are teh ROCK GODS.
