  • Actually the definition of a celebrity is a famous person so yeah he is

  • this guy is such a fucking jock! and every fucking gig with his shirt off... and supporting the troops because of some unspoken subconscious military inspired wet dream. what a hideous human being!

  • @SendInTheChickens Don't criticize someone for playing music with their shirt off. I'm sure it's much more comfortable for him than wearing his shirt.

  • @SendInTheChickens

    Wow, yeah!

    I totally agree!

    I mean, just look at his lyrics, they are so macho, y'know what I mean?

    Oh no, you don't, because obviously you have no idea what this guy stands for or what he sang about...particularly in his own lyrics

  • could you ever imagine henry rollins comforting someone in a time of need? i can't. he'd just yell "STOP BEING A PUSSY I THINK YOU ARE WEAK" and watch you drown in your own vomit.

  • my respect for henry rollins has quadrupled since i started watching this video

  • @taterfamine I already respected the shit out of him, but I still like him more now

  • @SlappyMoose same

  • "Partnership for a drug free America" is an epic failure. I almost never use the word "epic" but it really applies here. Drugs will never be permanently removed from America. Ever. That's a fact and it's proved itself since before I was even born. It will continue proving me right. Give me a thumbs down if you want, it doesn't change the truth. Thumb-away if it makes you mad and you want me to know. Or send me a message and tell me about how much of a ______________ I am.

  • @Viktir666

    We're never, ever, ever getting rid of murder either. No reason to give in and give up to it.

    Go fry your brains, nobody cares. But I'll be damned if I'm going to stop supporting people like him who are willing to say drugs make you stupid and ruin whatever talent you may have.

    The people whose philosophy came from their adolescence in the 60's and never grew up were dead wrong about drugs. They are stupid and druggies are at their low point in life.

  • @canthemum I don't use drugs for reasons that I don't want to talk about here. I support every adult's decision to use marijuana if they want to. It's their life. Drugs don't make you stupid, it's your choice to be a dumb ass. I know successful people who use marijuana and you wouldn't know until you caught them like I have. It's not a big deal to me so I don't care to argue about it. You can have your opinions, I have my facts. I do agree that most pot heads turn into idiots though!

  • irony

  • its a henry rollins song from his band rollins band, with jurassic 5

  • What band was playing at the end? seemed like Bad Brains?

  • @SodaPopDumb

    Don't know who it is, but I know damn sure it's not Bad Brains. Not sure how you thought that.

  • @SodaPopDumb

    Actually, just figured out it's a group called Jurassic 5.

  • @badbrain94 yeah ofc, what was i thinking!

  • I Dont Hate Most Celebraties Besides There Bad Taste But Popular People "DO NOT" Desserve To Get Treated Better Than Anyone Else!...

  • Wheres the early Rollins spoken word?

  • @BumDog007 Family Man (album) Black Flag

  • @shart96 Thanks allot!

  • @BumDog007 mo problem

  • anti-drug fascist. what a fool. what a big mouth. what a horrible singer.

  • @shandelear I agree with everything, except "what a horrible singer."

  • That voice-over woman sounds a bit slow in the head. Plus she keeps rudely referring to Henry as "Rollins". Except she also mispronounces his last name as "Rullens". The stupid bitch.

  • haha i killed henry in DEF JAM FFNY muhahah

  • when the ad before the video doesn't even stream properly you know your life is more or less fucked

  • Oh yeah. Henry's the man. Just hits the nail on the head here. Liked and saved.

  • on tv with a microphone. hes as much celeb as any of em.

  • this guy is a fucking PUSSY, he thinks he is all big and tough...I would smash this guy dont into the little punk he is

  • @COPMMUSIC What makes you think he's trying to be tough? What the fuck is wrong with you. henry rollins is one of the smartest people alive.

  • @COPMMUSIC if you could smash him he'd probably just shoot your dumb ass, besides Henry Rollins is an animal and would eat you up tard

  • @TheOthoss Ya mr celeb big stuff would just munch some one up like the homo he is.

  • @GTA4gunFAN hahahahaha okay gta4gunfan. you have no right to fucking talk. you named yourself gta4 gun fan. fucking dipshit

  • whats the song at the end?

    

  • Jim Carrey on Steroids?

  • I'd just like to bring up a question: How is the U.S. President different from a celebrity in the way he's talking about?

  • @JamesIsMyNamo2

    a: wrong place for politics

    b: don't thumb yourself up, dork

  • @spites1 Sorry for trying to start an intellectual conversation, prick

  • @JamesIsMyNamo2 don't be mad just because you got owned dude

  • @spites1 How do you know if someone has upvoted their own comment?

  • i still think this guy is stupid (my opinion)

  • Henry's RIGHT. Most celebrities really do speak their opinion about a given situation but do nothing about it. They are no different than those of us who can only wish for better circumstances. It's only because of their celebrity status that people even listen to what they have to say about any given situation. But it doesn't make what they say worth any more than what you or I think.

    In the end, celebrities really do get to go home to their mansions and money.

  • who the fuck cares what you have to say, you fucking arrogant crack head... you are probably the most insignificant "star" of all of them. just because you had some fuckin junky punk band some years ago..? you dont matter at all. spare us with your empty wisdoms..

  • @tutnixzursache Then why are you watching a video about him?

  • Correct me if I'm wrong, but what is the difference between celebrities sounding off and Rollins sounding off on his IFC talk show?

  • Celebrities are no more intelligent or enlightened than the rest of us. In some cases even less so.

  • bit strange for me, that my old "hero" has turned so "celeb" himself.

    well, as long as he still holds the x-flag and uses his high profile for

    getting the message out, i dont mind.

  • "I don't wanna hear about what the rich are doing

    I don't wanna go to where the rich are going

    They think they're so clever, they think they're so right

    But the truth is only known by guttersnipes"

    The Clash - Garageland

  • rollins you are totally wrong, they make atleast 20-30 million a year. The rest you were on the nose about lol

  • Rich people aren't any worse than the poor, henry. Stop sucking up to the majority, you pleasa! WHO's the fag now! Just doing what we do best, Henry.

  • he looks like jim karry

  • @mihalis1010 Who's jim karry?

  • God I hate henry rollins. His point of view is so bad at times. People can say something is bad without having to experience it. If anything they are a lot more compassionate about it because they haven't had to go there to start raising awareness. Rollins fucking shits me.

  • Henry Rollins is cool as shit. I met him in '04 at Camp Falcon in South Baghdad. Nobody worth mentioning would come out to our shithole little camp. The big names claimed they were doing things for the troops, but they would only go to the heavily fortified big camps with airstrips and Burger King.

  • A truly compassionate man.

  • badabing Henry

  • from the Department of Irony Department

  • he's the shit

  • in situations like this MONEY ROCKS HAHA

  • rollins IS a celebrity

  • Rallins????????

  • Most of celebrities are liberal fools, that's the problem. If any of them spoke the truth about what an asshole Obama is, they would be ostracized from the hollywood community.

  • Don't vote on this comment, that shit is stupid. But who would like to Mosh with Henry?Pretty much everyone.

  • Nice one Henry!

  • Henry Rollins is not a celeb. HE IS FUCKING GOD!

  • thank god this video was preceded by a bud light/ufc advertisment, i needed a laugh.

  • Oh, how I love this man.

    He's so smart. Honestly.

  • The man that is, Henry Rollins.

  • The problem with celebrities voicing their opinion about these kinds of issues is just the amount of attention they get in comparison to everyone else. These are people whose opinion is constantly being asked for, and yet, they have no expertise on whatever they're talking about. Like why would you even care about some multimillionaire's opinion of poverty? Why don't you go and ask for the opinion of someone who's actually poor? Or someone who's been working to counter the effects of poverty?

  • I think when Larry King left Henry Rollins should have replaced him. I've watched his show and its basically the same thing, except shorter and he may have a band play a song or two. But Rollins knows how to bring out a normal conversation from most actors and musicians. Rollins doesn't care about who broke up with who, he cares what the person is doing artistically, socially or politically, you know the reason they are on tv or doing interviews.

  • Why they gonna show a brotha after homeboy gets through talking about an orphanage as if we are, blacks, the quintessential representatives for poverty here in both America and the world?

  • good for you Henry. Money does help, but we need to keep tabs, because there is a lot of fraud out there.

  • KILL PEOPLE BURN SHIT FUCK SCHOOL

  • Actors/celebrities are citizens and have the right to say what they wish just like Henry here and anyone else. Just like with any other occupation or lifestyle, there are gonna be both smart people and the morons. I will gladly listen to Sean Penn but you couldn't pay me to listen to Paris Hilton.

  • They are libs.. that means they want higher taxes on the rich.. they are rich.. that means they want higher taxes on themselves... I'm all for that

  • right on Henry.. they are actors.. shut up and act.. I don't want to know your political views.. they are usually fuckin libs anyway.. I wish Obama would tax them 100%

  • Rollins is a legend luv the guy and his point of view.although i think its good that celebs speak out about things like Africa and any other humanitarian crisis even if the celeb that does it is a greedy whore it still helps that specific crisis get some attention and that cant be a bad thing..

  • Dude, you're a celebrity, and a total bad-ass at the same time.

  • he makes more sense then most celebs

  • @TotallyTank True. He is great and actually does shit!

  • i have IFC , do they still air this show ??????

  • I generally agree with everything Rollins has to say, but saying he's not a celebrity and that he somehow understands the plight of working class people better than a famous actor or musician might is pretty silly. He's been famous for at least a couple decades and I'm guessing in his leanest years he was still not living on Ramen. At least, not out of necessity.

  • Yes, a lot of those celebrities don´t put their money where their mouth is. Do you really think Nicole Richie or Paris Billton gives a shit about starving kiddies in Zimbabwe?

  • What's that Henry? You're on a 6- figure income? 'click'

  • Tough man, strong character.

  • listen to the middle aged midget. he's right.

  • I don't know shit about Rollins but he's right. Fuck all celebrities with this attitiude that because they can act or play the piano or dance, they know more than the rest of us. I couldn't give two fucks about what Bruce Springsteen thinks about politics. Why does his opinion mean more than a mailman or a waitress? I like when somebody asked Tom Petty who he was endorsing in the presidential election and he said: I don't know why anybody would take political advice from a guitar player.

  • He reminds me so much of Jim Carrey

  • henry is a wannabe celebrity who weighs in on every fucking thing he wants to . he is no different.

  • @brightmanonfire How is he a wannabe celebrity when he just stated that he hates everyrthing that celebrities stand for??? U either didnt watch this video before commenting or your a complete idiot. Maybe both

  • thats the future daniel tosh lol

  • I don't have sound on my computer but I decided that this would be entertaining anyway

  • Right on Henry. This is a great clip. His ability to to cut to the point and make a great statement from the real world is the reason I like this guy and have always liked this guy.

  • Whats that song at the end?

  • @desasterz

    Its "fool" by rollins band but im not sure who they are

  • Comment removed

  • Henry Rollins is a celebrity. Fuck him.

    Or maybe just take everyone as they come, no-names and celebrities both. If someone makes sense then they make sense. If someone doesn't make sense, then they don't and are best ignored.

  • @parafleet haha and who the fuck are you man?

  • @julz7196 Stop smoking pot and start thinking.

  • @parafleet Actually, most people who smoke weed are more thoughtful.

  • @parafleet stop smoking pot and start thinking....mmmm you cant just say that and not refer to anything. You want me to think about planet x or somthing? sounds like your smoking pot.

  • @julz7196 I think my naughty sister got me into this argument.

  • @parafleet YouTube won't let me hit the thumbs up button enough time to express how much I agree with you.

  • @whatiwasgoingtosay Sense is sense, eh? Nobody owns it, but any person can express it. I think our current culture has forgotten this, or never knew it. I guess that's the wisdom behind that old injunction: If you have a light, shine it!

  • @parafleet Fuck you man, I hate the celebrity obsessed culture we live in. Go back to your MTV and Famous magazines you fucking poser faggot. And he's right....just cause someone earns millions of dollars for being in movies doesn't mean they know shit about how the world operates or how people are struggling everyday.

  • @parafleet Hah the thing about that though is he was in the shithole he wasnt always a wealthy celebrity. the people he listed and people like that are basically people who havent lived in any bad situation and yet they talk as if they know everything. thats the type of celebrities rollins is refering to.

  • @FRANZDOT Yah, I know. I was just being naughty. Yet, every human lives in their own personal variety of suffering. It's best to keep safe, protect the ones you love, and don't judge others. I can judge Rollins just as he can judge someone else just as a jailbird can judge me just as the moon keeps saying, "Infinity, infinity, I don't care what you humans say anymore."

  • @parafleet

    Rollins lived in a van for ten years touring with unknown punk bands, plus I doubt if he pulls in millions of dollars for making one movie like real celebrities do.

    Most celebrities live in a bubble world where their entourage tells them how great they are and answers yes to every demand.

    How can you take someone like that seriously?

  • @1981menso The point is to disregard appearances and: Sense is sense.

  • Henry Rollins for president, motherfuckers!

  • I find it kind of ironic that Henry Rollins doesn't consider himself to be a celebrity. Anyone who has had two successful rock bands, a television show where they interview celebrities, a stand-up comedy tour and name recognition in society, is a celebrity. Maybe not a level on the people he listed, but he's a celebrity none the less. I still like him, but I find his logic to be somewhat nonsensical.

  • @adrenalinflow He may be a celebrity in the a lot of people's eyes, but in reality, he's not in people magazine, or on E! so at best he's an underground celebrity. And he didn't do a stand up comedy tour, he did spoken word tours. Those are two different things. Just sayin.

  • @adrenalinflow wow, do your homework :S..social recognition (minor at best) dosnt make you a celeb, celebs are social sell outs. Henry is, im guna sound like a asshole but hes pritty pure.

  • Without those "celebs" - he would not have much of a career (post Fear)!

  • <3

  • i fucking love this man!!!!! he speaks exactly what i think !!

  • He should be President

  • what about celebrities whose expertise is in politics? successful authors, TV pundits, Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, etc.--these people also earn millions but they probably know a lot more than the average guy.

  • @JOEtheHOTTIE true and they also donate lots of money to help agianst problems like hunger.

  • @JOEtheHOTTIE I do hope you're joking.

  • Henry Rollins is the fucking man.

  • only reason this idiot rants against celebs is because he wishes he was one,and knows he will never be one !!!!just a moron with idiotic "followers" !!!

    after his abortion of an appearence in" wrong turn 2" he should stick his head up his own ass and dissappear !!!

  • @MrReaper666ish Obvious Troll is Obvious

  • @MrReaper666ish He's not an idiot. He's actually super smart. You'd know that if knew anything about him. You're an asshole for talking shit about someone you know nothing about. And talking shit about people who "follow" a positive, and smart, person. And you are an asshole for watching Wrong Turn 2. As if the first one was good enough to make a second.

  • Couldn't it be argued that someone in the public eye taking a stand, and helping to promote some sliver of public awareness is a good thing though? I would rather see a famous person speaking up on relevant social issues than touting the benefits of their new signature fragrance, or whatever.

  • before i got to watch this video there was an ad in which a celebrity endorsed a product.

    i don't think youtube gets irony, nor do they try to stop it.

  • ROLLINS SEE HOOTAH,

    HOOTAH OPENS DOOR TO FATE,

    FATE OPENS DOOR TO DESIRE,

    LAST SECOND IS YESTERDAY.

    WHO WANTS ANY OTHER.

    Rollins as a nice guy by example of works my ass.

  • @TheItaliamarco : Rollins is cool. UR likely one of those losers who cares if that Paris Hilton or Kardashian bitch farted or not... or whose banging who in Hollywood. Even the word "celebrity" is a fucking joke.

    Rollins makes an excellent point... WTF do actors who make millions and millions know about what goes on in many places int he "real word?" Most are simple, brainless attention whores. U whack off to "People" Magazine and to "E - Entertainent".... Take it easy cum farter. ;-D

  • @Sexxistentialist made my morning =) lol

  • @Sexxistentialist I heard that, and I liked it all :) Not sure who you aiming at. Dont care much because that gun is fucking loaded

  • @Sexxistentialist You could take a point out of Rollins book - wtf do you know about these people? You don't, so shut your little hole that you call a mouth and get off your fucking pedastool.

  • @Sexxistentialist wow kid ur comment is particularly disturbing for how strongly and quickly you assume along with rollins. to simply dismiss the opinion of someone classified as a celebrity and to make strange accusations about someone for saying rollins has no friends shows your irrational confrontational personality. also, rollins "point" is diluded because he and you have very heavily generalized celebrities and their topics of discussion as well; as if they only speak of poor people.

  • henry rollins has no friends

  • I know what rollins means even though he might have came across a little hard I still get your point Rollins! and I am def no celeb and I agree w you 100% as a matter of fact I don't watch tv and don't have any interest in doing so ever

  • Woah dude, badass! Fuck celebs, that's such a ballsy thing to say. Woah dude, PFDFA???? RAAAAD! Fuck freedom of choice and fucking hooray for cigarette sponsored hypocrite machines. Rollins, you are a phony. No big deal, just admit to it though.

  • are there similarities to jim carrey?

  • @PatShortBoy

    definitely !

    but there is a big difference... JIM CARREY is a total douche bag. A fucking system failure in our universe.

  • She can't say Rollins

  • henry, been listening to ya for 20 years... but dude, you're a celebrity. when is the last time you had a "real" job? you're just not a rich celebrity.

  • douche bag, he wants to be a celebrity otherwise he wouldnt have his own little film corner.

  • @rottenflowers1978 We should glorify arrogant, conceited, self centered people (like celebrities) not people who help out orphans and listen too punk rock. I say kill the all the orphans and feed the bodies to the celebrities. Their tender little parentless flesh will help the celebrities grow strong!

  • @Sterlin195 That's a pretty Modest Proposal.

  • i dont think this guy has any talent at all..sorry rollins fans..

  • Henry you rock, please write another book man. You pulled me through a very dark time of my life with your rants, poetry, and random comments. Your an old alternative icon that most people refer to as the "Liar" guy or the guy that was on IFC before they sucked. Yet you lived the life us here in D.C., Baltimore, and Philadelphia have lived. So up the horns to you as we kick death and despair in the balls and live another day.

  • Henry you rock, please write another book man. You pulled me through a very dark time of my life with your rants, poetry, and random comments.

  • What a cunt.

  • @Sterlin195 What makes you say that? Such a reasonable attitude.

  • Rollins is the man.

  • What's the deal with the wrist wrap?

    Was this filmed before an episode of Celebrity Bowling for Dollars?

    Just kidding.

    He's not a celebrity.

  • He used to be anti-system, now he's just another old Jester of the Occupation like Toby Keith, Jessica Simpson and Ted Nugent - Fuck him!

  • what is that band at the end?

  • @BloodOverBullets Jurassic 5 on the video I believe but Rollins Band on the audio.

  • sold out

  • global warming is still a myth

  • I used to be a Rollins fan, but I recently saw the light. He's a total hypocrite. His spoken word things show he goes for the cheap shots. He's a populist and talks about shit like how dumb george bush is. It's rather sad when you hear his audience cheer when he slags off U2 (Im no fan BTW) and cheer when he praises some other band no one has ever heard of. His books are so "what a hard life I lead" crap I could puke. Edit all the dates and good times out why dont you Henry.

  • @creativebollocks

    Rollins didn't jump on the W bandwagon because it was populist... He's an outspoken, hard-leaning lefty, and he's always been outspoken about it, even before the issue du jour was the Bush administration.

    His self-effacing humor to make whoever else the story about sound like the hero is a part of his charm, in my opinion. I'm not saying you shouldn't dislike him; your opinion's as valid as mine, and I respect that. I'm just saying that I don't see hypocrisy in his material.

  • @almatric

    lefty? hahahaa rollins is all about being an individual and going it alone which are the antithesis of group think liberalism which preaches majority rule.

    Rollins just talks alot of left wing politics because he knows his audience is a bunch of much brain college liberal idiots and he needs to make a living.

    If any thing his politics are liberatarian. But who cares anyway . Rollins is a hypocrite sell out and has been saying the same shit for 10 years.

  • Top man,much respect.

  • He sounds like a douchebag when he is saying this, but I completely agree with him. I could care less what celebrities think for the exact same reasons.

  • Has he got the thickest neck after Tyson?

  • @captaincomputa no dude type in "corey taylor gets pissed" he has the biggest neck

  • @medicinegone

    I agree with you completely, I find it annoying as well. I just think it's unfair to judge a person on their upbringing rather than the fact that they're trying to make the world a better place. Rollins is just being a baby :)

    And I think that what a celebrity is is subjective. Millions of people know who Henry Rollins is. He's in the public idiom and to me that makes him a celebrity.

  • I like him. I kill Justin Bieber should I ever see this pencil necked faggot son of a bitch.

  • @P8G9JVXD9BK296WHKYJB Be careful what you say,Bieber fans are everywhere and they are vicious.I wish they would go away,but they wont.

  • @admillnx6 Yeah, but they are little bitch faggots too.

  • you're all a bunch of assholes stop talking shit and stop being pussys.

  • I have the same watch... just noticed.

  • He's older now, but he's STILL fine as hell!!

  • Rollins rants against Himself?

    I dont get it.

    Henry Rollins is Mr Hollywood and if he had more talent he might have gotten better acting parts than spider in johnny neominc

  • @BaconJimmy hes not a celbrity dipshit

    learn your shit you fucktard
