The whole time he’s looking down and Nardwuar’s going off, he was practically smiling by the end.

It blows my mind how artists don’t take Nardwuar seriously, and then suddenly they do. Like, “Who tf is this fast talking, almost annoying…wait, what did he say? No one knows that.” Greatest interviewer of all time. Worth 20 million for a reason. Thank you Nardwuar!

he realized the narduwar method that each question was more and more thoughtful and personal and it broke that punk facade

Why was he pissed off in the first place lol. Roid head.

Nard is my favorite interviewer ever

@@waltermoldren4991 Sometimes... lol

Idk about humbled but narduwar definitely passed the test

impressed, not humbled.

that dude rollins has always been an aggro weirdo, can't believe they let him become somewhat famous ​@@matapichones

Maybe he’s just used to the generic MTV reporter questions that he hears everyday.

💀💀💀

EXACTLY BUT HE STILL MOVED. He ended up answering all the questions

@@EmantheHeartbreakcause he realized Nard actually gives a fuck not just some suit for a company

@@047Kennyright… so he still moved lmao

Henry isn’t an immovable object lmfaoo

Well this was when the Nard was still up and coming, this is actually the interview that introduced me to the GOAT. Nard actually mentions it in his TED talk, 100% recommend his Ted talk. He is a different breed.

The grimace on Henry turns more and more into a smile, especially when he mentions the tattoos. I absolutely love the energy this interview had in the end

You have an excellent account name & your avatar made me think a hair was stuck on my phone!

my brotha

Nardwuar, the next jeopardy host

That was lame comment

Damn you! I was convinced there was a hair on my tv!

He asked like 17 in the unedited version

he asks henry rollins "can i ask a bunch of questions and you just answer the two you like?" and henry nods and says "ok" hence the barrage of questions. the first two were the real questions he wanted answered and the rest were the less important ones.

7

He was only gonna answer two

Watch it again and pay attention

I'd probably be a person of poor character.

​@@SofaKingShit Thats ok.

​@@SofaKingShit I don't think anyone had much hope for you anyway

That's not even remotely true

You can but not in the way you think. Some energies just don't mix

aww ya had me

​@@hunter7593I saw the full video he answered most of them

​@Hunter you don't even know who Henry Rollins is. 😂

Keeping them all in your head and then answering each one would be even MORE impressive.

​@Will-helm hes the dude I learned all my moves from in Fight For NY

i was shocked when i saw how disrespected he would be by rock bands since i only know of him interviewing rappers and the responses are usually hilarious and genuine.

He is the rap industry's baby boy

​@@jhacedomantay5837 he's Cardi's baby boy obviously

Blur moment

This was just Henry in character. He’s one of the sweetest nicest dudes you’ll ever meet. Trust.

Henry still sucks, not my fault

Henry is a psychopath that talks to bloodstained dirt in the morning. I wish I was joking.

​@@SaltSpiritsWTF is that supposed to mean? 😂

Yeah, what @danielwilson9724 said: WTF does that mean?!

"This video is history for these two. They went on to have a cool friendship after this." They're not friends dude, stop fantasizing as if it was reality.

Henry Rollins the type of guy to blindfold and kidnap you only to take you to a surprise birthday party 😅

🤣

1 human speaking to musicians and reminding them that they're human

human?

Honestly one of the greatest who’s ever done it.

Correction: He's the Human serviette

He always brings up salad bars around Black Flag members because he and the guitarist of Black Flag are vegetarians lol

Yeah the other dudes correct about that check out getting the van also salad bars were an amazing way to eat for free or very cheap Leon tour because we had no money and that's pretty much punk-rock across-the-board why I said we

Pretty sure Henry was on gear. But what do I know. Are you saying he was vegetarian?!

The problem is who Rollins thinks he is.

@@futureskeletons66669 fkin Jack Kerouac wannabe isn't he? Old Rollins is cringe nowadays, its not cool just being a cunt to everyone, hasn't been since the early 90s. Which is one of the reasons he's a lot calmer and kinder, now, surely.

ENIGMA!

Why did you hyphenate "genuineness"?

@@jimandrews89 SO I COULD FINALLY GET YOUR ATTENTION!!!!! HEY, WE’VE BEEN TRYING TO CONTACT YOU ABOUT YIUR CAR’S EXTENDED WARRANTY!!!!….

I enjoyed the bit about salad bars

@@bradf.9365 yeah, bulking up on the salad bars!!

@@josephbenson4444 members of the band are vegan as is nard, also back then salad bars were super common and a dirt cheap/free way to eat a lot

that joke could totally be made into a portlandia skit

It's only what the man asked for, and then some. It's not comedy. It's disrespect and respect at the same time.

is it?

@@asjalaji Watch some of Henry's other interviews. It is.

With Rollins, this is the interview equivalent of hitting it out of the park

@@PropaneWP you are correct, it really is. I saw an old interview of Henry just destroying the teenage interviewer.

Although most are surprised by Nardwar , to turn Henry Rollins from irritable to impressed, to the point of offering his respect? It’s an accomplishment far beyond what the casual observer would guess or comprehend. Henry is hard to surprise or win over- this moment is a profound testament to Nardwars talent and skill.

Had the same experience with Immortal Technique

What about Rollins made you think he was anything but a arrogant prick?? I respect the fact that it's not just a stage persona it's just who he is and I'm cool with that

I met him at a live show and he was really cool and friendly. Granted the dude is old and mellowed out now

@@R_Euphrates I hear he sits on a throne of bones.

​​@@mikesokeYeah, the guy looks like it

I think a lot of celebrities get asked idiotic questions by clueless journalists. They get defensive over time.

@@TheZeekgeek1 and the this guy comes along, with his goofy gimmick… Dropping knowledgebombs all over the place.

because he knew which question will enter his head. the most important questions he had researched/known. he knew after the first question he'd of earnt respect. the other handful just complimented his response. too high

And he said il put a whole bunch on the table for you and you can pick the ones you like, you got multiple choice

he eventually opened up at the end but henry rollins now is a lot different then in the video really humble and kind

No it’s because he asked him if he could ask a bunch and let him pick which ones to answer goober

Someone didn't watch the video. He clearly states he's going to ask a bunch of question that he could pick from. Which he agreed to.

He doesn’t give a shit. He gets obscure trivia to throw at his interviews to surprise them. That’s it.

@@brunneng38I think that’s not true, because this was filmed in 1998. So how would he have gotten that trivia except by interviewing like 3 of Henry’s closest friends or relatives? You can’t just whip out your iPhone and Google Henry Rollins real quick and read his Wikipedia page. You gotta go find this shit out, and the reason he does this is to ask them “what have you never been asked before” but if you just did that to the interviewee it would be really fake and lame as hell. You can tell Henry Rollins is surprised by what he was going to shun; this guy got a ton of personal info that he didn’t even have to ask about. He knew it all, he asked someone else and someone else else confirmed it. So he’s asking Henry for Henry’s sake. He knows Henry Rollins has never been asked any of those questions before and once he hears them all in a row, so does Henry. Isn’t that kinda sweet?

Nardwuar spills trivia. But it is not random, rather well investigated and selected. He is not a “scoop” journalist, rather a very tricky, smart one. There is a link in the style to german journalist Gunther Walraff.

Not even Nirvana

The blur guy did

@@DuelWielding2DohDoh_BiRDS Are you saying what I think you’re saying?

No he’s not calm down

@@Randomperson-if4hy just some dark humor lol

And the great thing is that he's not in any way conceited about it

"Do you think if you get bigger, you can fit more tattoos on your body?" ☠️☠️☠️

Nard getting down with the GNAR 🤘🏽

Sonic youth would disagree

@l l nardwaur is more relevant currently than sonic youth, and thats not even bias, just fact, dudes still active and they aren't. He wins.

Pre-dodge nerf Jax when tabi’s also gave you dodge chance level legend of all legends?

He never said "kinda"

​@@richardhsuhfunny how that was still more fun than the current state of top lane

Not I kind of respect he actually said I got to respect

That actually happened throughout their years of building rapport. Rollins slowly began to respect Nard.

Rollins is a lot more chill these days. I think the interview would go over better.

They already did and rollins apologized already.

Have you not seen the second interview? It's great, everyone's cool and friendly, and Henry had since come to "get" Nardwuar and had loosened up slighly (slightly!) in the years since. If you're looking for an interview where Henry isn't a little stiff, well, good luck.

Henry was an asshole to everyone back then. But the interactions with fans humbled him to where he is now. This was his fuck everything era, he was young and angry about everything, so I don't blame him necessarily. Especially if you look at who he is now, and how vastly nicer he is.

roid rage

@@FRPWR I'm almost positive he has if not apologized to Nardwuar at least has acknowledged his own behavior as not being upstanding in that regard. Henry's a smart guy, I know, but he's also a really emotional guy and that's definitely gotten in his way before.

Was. WAS.

​@@mikeyg8568he has done subsequent interviews with Nard I'm sure

He seems to have mellowed out a lot in his old age but back then, I think he had a sever case of Little Man Syndrome.

He's mellowed out a lot recently

I'd rather chill with Henry Rollins any day over nard but to each their own

You’ve got to think about all of the interviews he’s done where he has answered the same thing over and over again. Nardward would be a breath of fresh air!

​@@willyjf6193 his point moreso is that if you did that, you would be the only one chilling.

yes

Projection 101. I think we all, at times, project onto others the parts of ourselves we dislike.

He wasn't being superficial. He thought nardy was eating his time.

​@@Nawaltathe internet therapist, not doing to much yourself but ready to judge

​@@Nawalta sure, this happens, but Henry Rollins was an absolute prick back then. Watch the full interview or others he was in around that time.

​@@nova3752 Imagine thinking projection is "internet therapy." I wouldn't doubt you project constantly yourself. Why else are you defensive on the subject?

You have to see some of the later Henry interviews he does better

Henry Rollins second interview with Nardwuar will make you very happy then since he was super nice to him lol.

Also, if you know anything about Henry Rollins he’s a huge curmudgeon. It’s kind of his thing.

Everybody was like this with nards early interviews because they thought he was a joke n clownin them

@@thrashntrash666 it’s ego

He's not a jock...he's an Alpha Nerd

@@startervisions He's a nerd doing his best impression of an 'alpha jock"

Enjoy this version of Rollins because he is gone. I saw one of his spoken words a couple months ago live. He’s a total shitlib. Spewing the establishment line 100%. It was heartbreaking.

@@BVonBuescher Haven't kept up with Rollins as of late, could you elaborate on what he said?

​@Benjamin Buescher please elaborate

King shit

I saw him throw a chair at a security guard for talking during his show. 😂

Vet ??? Dude this was at an early stage of his carrer he wasn’t even a vet yet lol

@@onewayortheotherinc.6555 he was definitely a vet at this time, dudes been doing it for 30+ years and this was like 17 ish years ago

@@onewayortheotherinc.6555 he been doing this since Middle School😂

This is before J Cole

@@eliteayanokoji8637 Nobody said it wasn't. Lol what??

@@michaelhaydenbell Nobody said you said it wasn’t. Lol What??

@@dino8364 was that proper English?

True

The end all be all litmus test for humans

He didn’t. He had his manbaby tough guy ego checked. Rollins is a poser.

It's part of the name change in the fake persona.... Hank Garfield is who I grew up with in Northern Virginia😮😮😮
