Henry Rollins is the best

[sundevilkevin]

Kevin Cornin (?) is an idiot, what the hell does he know about Heavy Metal? He writes girly pussy music, I once broke up with a girl freind because she gave me the "HIGH INFIDELITY" album for christmas.

Now Henry Rollins is a true genius. I would listen to his sing the phone book, because he would do it heavy and with heart. Nathan Explosion wishes he was Henry Rollins.

@MetalheadJay78 Rollins is a fucking blowhard. He knows everything and is everything, depending on who is watching. Anyone who has observed Rollins over the years will agree with me that he is a chameleon.

[MetalheadJay78]

Kevin was joking, people. Don't take things so seriously! Relax, and have a happy go lucky attitude. You'll enjoy life a lot moreso.

@ritter89, stop being a hardass. Rollins is an intelligent, well informed guy for the most part. Perhaps he should school you in "Jazz" music. Would you give him some props then? From what I know about him(through his music, comedy and tv show on IFC), he certainly knows more than most people in this Country. And that covers a wide variety of subjects. "War Pigs" is indeed a very well crafted song and with a powerful, cautionary message as well.

Henry Rollins, shut the fuck up already. You have been talking bullshit for too long.

The best heavy metal song is: One.

[ritter89]

lol "the compositional complexity" of war pigs. It's based on the simplest riff pattern in rock (root/fifth chords). But hey, what do expect from a guy who can't play an instrument? Whenever he tries to sound cool and trendy (which is often), Rollins reveals just how little he knows about music, himself, politics, culture, etc. The guy is one of the best unintentional comedians on the planet. He should go back to making those goofy Gap ads. Hawking product is one of the few things he's good at

Henry you rock dude!! you should have your very own rock show, similar to the format of Joolz Holland, or The Old Grey Whistle Test. Mostly music, but with about 10 mins of interview. Henry has a very reserved and thoughtful perspective on all types of Rock. Henry We salute you!!

@jarjarbigboy THANK YOU it's true that song is just heavy ballad /rock or some shit from late 60's

one riff over and over

half of a good song basically

never got finished

[InfiniteWhizBang]

That Kevin Cronin dude is a worthless douche bag, and an imbecile. Meanwhile, Rollins is right on target.

@CannibalCookout WarPigs = AMAZING lyrics and music, as Henry said the complexity and depth of meaning, just WOW.
