Henry Rollins is the most extroverted introvert on the planet.

Henry is simultaneously really intimidating and really sweet and vulnerable.

'Never go down on a woman whith shorter hair than you.' I guess thats why he was bald for 20 years lol, genius.

They're reading an awful lot into his inability to draw

"You see here, in his drawing, he drew the left hand slighty bigger than the right.. That suggests that he experiences pain while shitting and this pain sexually excites him in such a manor that makes him angery at his father"

There's a disarming truth and fearless honesty in this man... sadly for us, he's one of a kind

I wish my neck was as wide as my head.

"I can't draw very well" "Well, that means you are damaged, you felt small as you grew" What the fuck?

I love how even the person in his drawing has a giant neck.

Henry said it himself, he's not talented he's just hard working and determined. He is definitely entertaining.

Ok, when he said damaged, am I the only one who thought of the Black Flag album?

it seems henry showed more intelligence than the psychiatrist

Am I the only one who feels a little better after watching this interview

As a fan of Rollins persona and music in the 80's (Black Flag) and 90's (Rollin's Band) I am now a 44 year old that has been in a 12 Step based Emotional Recovery group, and am looking at him with fresh eyes. I now can see a very wounded man inside who was shown very little empathy, love, or physical connection. In this and in other interviews Henry makes it clear that he had a hip but emotionally distant relationship with his mother through a shared love of music. I have a similar background as well, and while I still enjoy his desire to 'teach and reach' I do hope that someday he can find that emotionally lost 6-8 year old still inside him, and with a safe group of people find what simple, beautiful, connection to other human beings is about. In eight years of recovery I have went from being constantly angry and yelling at my wife and son to being someone who is balanced, no longer isolated and alone inside, and have happiness in my life - partly because I let people into my soul now because I am no longer afraid of being hurt or misunderstood. Keep growing Henry, there are many of us with damaged childhoods that are healing and growing into the kind of people we wish we had as parents and peers.

It is amazing what that psychologist figured out just from a drawing. He was pretty much spot on with his analysis

It's kind of hilarious listening to this guy try to explain Henry's drawing. It's not like Henry just lacks any artistic skill or anything.

Goddamn his neck is thick.

The fact that he chose to do that half-assed tongue-in-cheek drawing has meaning in and of itself.

This is an awesome video that really shows how is Henry inside and out. You can see how he really was a loner, smart, geek, compassionate guy early in life and at some point just got pissed off at the world or people in general and put on a cold and aggressive shell. He still is that loner, smart guy, who has a passion for life from what his other works hold but at some point those lonely geeks get pissed and just dont take it anymore.

"I'll take anything at this point". That is both sad and yet funny as hell!

I was drinking water when he said, "when you go out for too long with a women, the ovaries start to speak". The I coughed and water went up my nose.

this picture analysis is nonsensical

Henry Rollins is a good guy...end of f*ing story

I love what he said about leaving the house empty like a huge dojo! I would do the same thing if I bought a new house! Computer, clothing, food, drinks and music equipment/weights are the only things I would move in.

8:12 It was very hard for me to not busy out laughing. The question, and facial expression was hilarious.

Back then, it was like Rollins was made of stone. Stoic. Handsome. He seems much more approachable today. Am I wrong?

The fact that you would do this interview shows an aspect of introspection and self analysis. This shows a maturity of a soul.

I remember seeing this about 10 years ago! Thans for the upload, thought i'd never see it again.

Henry's drawing of a man looks like a Basquiat.

henry rollins, to me, is THE Man!! so well spoken and so solid!

There’s no way of saying this without sounding “gay” but if I was a woman. A real woman with brains and all that. I would be all over this dude.

Henry Rollins is like the chuck Norris of Rock and roll

Rollins is so intense, sometimes it makes me laugh. Like real laugh, with noise. It's ridiculous. I respect him for being honest, i know he's real, but my brain can't go with it for too long before giving me a nudge. It only lasts a few seconds, then i'm ok with it again.

Maybe....or maybe Henry just sucks at drawing.

I must say I like both versions of Ministry. I really love synth-pop and metal. It's one of, if not the only band that's ever made that kind of transition. Kudos to there ability to drastically change and take their work in a new direction.

Thank God he found music. Otherwise, he would have definitely been a serial killer.

This guy looks like Bas Rutten in this interview

When I was younger I didn't appreciate Rollins at all. But within the last two years I find myself becoming more & more into him & also I've discovered that who I've become as a man based on my personal experiences is very similar to who Rollins is as a man. Because of that I'm able to connect & understand him as an artist & as a human being in ways that were impossible for me as an adolescent. He truly is fascinating & I'm grateful to my friend for re-introducing Rollins to me

I actually recall meeting friends like Henry's dad back in fifth grade and they would give me advice when I didn't need it. I no longer see them.

So Rollins can't draw. Got it.

the narrator sounds like the same guy from Kurt and Courtney lol

"I'll take anything at this point". That is both sad and yet funny as hell! Just let it roll man! There are many chicks who dig you man!! Get Em'! Enjoy them!

Psychologists make things sound so interesting. I don't know if it's a pseudo-science but it's entertaining, the analysis.

One could make a solid argument that this is the most interesting Henry Rollins interview to date.

Henry is fucking great! I’ve seen his solo show many times since the late 80’s and he’s always been hilarious! His drawing “skills” are actually better than mine!

Coming from an art background, I'd say maybe he drew this this way because he never really learned to draw, b/c he didn't give a fuck about it or it's not what he wanted to do (hence he is a musician, writer and spoken word performer). Umm, could that be it? Naw. To simple. Not psychological enough.

I love it when he talks about his dad

I love this honesty!

Jesus, I can relate to alot of what Henry said. Crazy.

this guy makes me want to do pushups

I'm happy to know that Henry and I share the same drawing skills.

Another guy that should have been a guidance counselor, Henry Rollins that is. Just like Peter Gabriel, he admits not being extremely talented or intelligent but highly determined and obstinate.

me: analyzes the picture with my (limited) psychological knowledge the psychologist: says something totally different and nonsensical me: what the fuck

He's a cool guy and I think he's learnt alot in life, he's got alot to say.He says it well

What show is this and where can I find more episodes?

When I watch a psychologist "analyze" someone in this way, e.g. Rollins's drawing of a human figure, I worry that viewers will think that the mental health profession is a joke. Clearly Rollins likes being goofy, and he probably can't draw well enough to want to be evaluated in front of millions of viewers on how realistically he can render a human figure in under a minute. So, understandably, he chose to make a joke out of it. The subsequent analysis -- well, you know where I'm going with this.

assaulted by puberty. no greater truth for me, way back then.

I think Henry is a very intelligent articulate man who has an incredibly big heart. He has been scarred by his parents, particularly his father and therefore developed his stage persona of tough, angry man. Part of that is real; however, I get the impression that he is fighting his true self, the self he hides in his solitude. He is in such a race to not be his father that he turned to ultra-radical liberalism which unfortunately makes sense although he overshot a bit. Now that he is 58, he seems to be settled down and has softened around the edges a bit, but it's obvious he keeps everybody at an arms distance. That's a shame, because he seems like a bit of honest love would be good for him. I suffer from the same stuff. I watch this and I can relate to everything he says. I wish him well and hope he knows he is a better man than he thinks he is. Love to HR. :)

"a fear of being damaged..." DAMAGED = BEST FUCKING BLACK FLAG ALBUM

This stuff is really interesting. I'm majoring in psychology right now and a lot of this reminds me of the documentaries my teacher draws upon for examples of what she's talking about. Makes me wonder how I'd do on this test though...(biting own lip)

LMFAO... LONG LIVE HENRY ROLLINS! (All my love Brother!)

thing is, any psychopathology Henry has is the very thing which has propelled him artistically this whole time; initially his unbridled self-directed rage and extreme isolation, where he projected all his attachment needs onto music and literature, forever alienating himself from people; and following this, the efforts he has gone to throughout the years to try and mend the immense psychological scarring that he wielded upon himself as a adolescent and young adult,

Was this a one off or were there more episodes of this?

awesome video, thanks for sharing thiis. im curious though, what was the other most powerful experience in his life? anyone know?

OMG I TURNED MY MOM'S OLD ROOM INTO MY DOJO AS SOON AS SHE MOVED OUT OMFGGGGGGG

henry knows what a man want's. as in himself

He is one of the few people that says what he thinks its right, and I like it...

where do i get this test?

Excuse me if I don't take life advice from Henry Rollins. Seriously, who told this guy he's a sage?

Henry is a odd guy and a pretty deep thinker...I like it!

Regardless of what everyone's opinion of the shrink's analysis, Henry is a very interesting person. Whether you like him as a person or not, he's very unique and raw.

Psychology is like an art really. Its so open to interpretation and there are so many branches of opinion, its ultimately bullshit. I've had 3 psychologists and none of them helped me know myself better.

"Im just a well spoken muscular celebrity icon I have no luck with women" hahaaa

What is the image pairing test called?

I will never get back these few minutes of my life

This is why people doubt psychology as a legitimate science.

this reeks of the 90's

Henry went out looking for fights on the weekend so everyone else starting going out during the week. 😆

Henry holds the mic in a punk rock way even while doing a speaking engagement lol

When I had a psychological test given to me they made me do the person drawing. Then things got weird.

freaking brutally honest

The analysis from the pictures he chose are pretty much drawn from his speaking about his experiences previously so uh, yeah

I just cant find this program anywhere

Holy shit, has anybody turned on the subtitles? The person who wrote them must have been deaf, because place is replaced with police and dojo is replaced with dildo, in just 30 seconds time. I'd like to apologize to all hearing impaired people on behalf of the horrendous work whoever wrote up the CC for this was.

He says that he thinks love is one of the two most powerful experiences of his life, and this comes from someone who saw his best friend get splattered on his doorstep among other crazy stuff. People who draw the connection between love and softness is full of shit.

Are there any more videos like this? I thought this was really cool, although probably due to the fact that Henry Rollins is so introspective.

for a few months i admired this guy. until i realized my life.

I have a lot in common with Henry. Except he's got talent.

If they could make all men from a mold of him, we'd be in great shape.

Henry is awesome!!!!

I saw Rollins play around 2000 or 2001 in the Key Arena at Seattle Center during Bumpershoot

I dont know what to believe about Henry. Hes told so many contradictory stories over the years. Love him...but his stories dont always add up...

The psychologist has no idea what he's talking about. The drawing doesn't represent damage or a fear of damaging others, it represents him not really giving a fuck about detail and having a sense of humor like "haa I'm going to make him mutated". That's it.

Okay, I've just gotta say, I'm begging to like Henry Rollins. He seems very charming and likable. He's never come off that way at a concert, at least not to me (or anyone else, just sayin'). People always told me that if I'd ever met him "anywhere else" I would totally like him. I"m beginning to believe that. Well, point for cake, instead of pie, at this point. But I think I would like the dude. Even if I didn't, he's pretty charming.

Wow this was broadcasted the day I was born lmao

Agreed Bro..........Henry Is The GENUINE Article........No B.S And He Practices What He Preaches 100%!

Enter the void, empty and become wind.

Watching Mr. Rollins drawn is the funniest fucking thing I've ever seen.

thumbs up for that dope bass line

When he says "the ovaries start ot speak" at 8:14 he sounds sooo angry, scared anf furstrated!Try listening to it without watching, you ll see!
