I love that he still holds the mic like he's at a punk rock show

Henry Rollins: _"Let's see some ID!"_ Burglar: _"I don't have to show you ID."_ That burglar doesn't know that Henry Rollins ain't fallin' for Jedi mind tricks.

This man is my hero

Only Henry could invent a phrase like "Six-Million-Dollar-manning it down the road"!

he is funnier than most proper stand ups

"i'm on it"

Sounds like the synopsis of a David Lynch film. Nice.

I love that he came to fame as a punk rocker, & now he does smart comedy & has a cool talk show, go Henry Rollins!!!!

When i grow up i wanna be Henry Rollins

This reminds me one time, I saw a man on the door trying to rob my house and for a moment I thought he was trying to fix/repair my door and cause I didn't know what to say I asked him: What are you doing? and he said: nothing, I'm leaving. ...True story.

Henry is the man in my book. He is such an inspirational guy, I mean he's lived through and experiencened all kinds of crazy shit in his life. He has refused to settle down and become a boring family man. Instead he travels the world performing, and helping out charitable causes of all kinds. The man certainly deserves respect, he's rich enough to where he could retire but he still works harder then most people half his age. Not to mention he was one of the pioneers of harcore punk.

Wow, what a story teller, he’s epic. ! 😂

Dude this guy is so real. How come there aren't more people like him. I'm solitary like this guy in so many ways its not even funny.

When he says "That's some pretty heavy shit" I die laughing.

am i the only guy who realizes how multitalented this man is?

Dude, I nearly peed myself. Henry Rollins is straight up crazy pants.

VIVA HENRY ROLLINS !!!

Why would you cut the video there?

It takes time to become this person on stage. If you have the desire to be this way, you can and will. Good luck you

That convo story sounds like something that'd happen in Florida

i love how he says: you just have to love yourself. It sounds so cute

Brilliant real man! Henry's an amazing person.

Seeing him tomorrow night, cant wait!

Surreal conversations keep us sane :)

this guy is so emblematic of the artistic and intellectual depth of all the GenX self-promoters...

Just saw him last night in glasgow, 3 hours of GOLD!

The lady that claps like a seal at 4:22

well you certainly pick good words. hes a great singer. i love henry rollins.

The first time you call him "Henry" when you are by yourself.. thats when you know you really like Henry Rollins.

Rollins is a hero to me because of his relationship with the USO. It doesn't hurt that he has written some great music over the years.

The way he holds the mic lol, he may have left punk but punk never left him

I wish I could talk like Henry. I have a lot of the same ideas, but I just can't express them worth a shit like he does. I'm sure I'd have a lot of badass friends.

Great. Thanks for the cutoff at the end.

I. Am going. TO SEE HIM TONIGHT! SO EXCITED!!!!

Only Rollins can be Forever Alone AND epic!

There is no God but Music, and Henry Rollins is His prophet.

Oh Henry, big love to you.

@dnggitg Very well put, my friend. George is The Man for me, and punk George is what Henry is, indeed.

HENRY FOR PRESIDENT 08!!!

you are right. I have seen him in 2005 in holland. He talks for 3 hours without pauses. very funny guy.

Henry Rollins kicks ass.

I don't know which is worse: that an awesome guy like Rollins is having to "sleep" alone, or that his hand's imaginary voice is so masculine....

Henry Rollins reminds me of myself so much, it's kinda scary.

wow i love how you can randomly look up videos and they have comments abt how scrubs is awesome I FREAKING LOVE SCRUBS it is the BEST SHOW EVER

Those are the best six letters in the english language. Completely informal, but absolutely serious. A testament to personal responsibility and to the bonds of social teamwork.

i love love love love henry

saw him in manchester a couple of days ago. totally agree with other comments about taking a comfy cush cush to sit your botty on kids. most important. really enjoyed his stories. great raconteur.

Henry Rollins is GOLD

wow... what a storyteller man

Henry Rollins is the man!

I was planning on seeing him in Aberdeen aswell, but wasnt able to get to both shows :( , will def. make as many of his as i can next time! :D The story of drinking the coffee in Iran was classic :)

Saw Henry speak live about 2 yrs ago and he had another story about someone trying to break into his house. It was funny as hell BUT the poor guy was a huge fan with a spectrum disorder. Tried to sneak onto Hank’s property about 3 times and eventually had to be deported back to Scandinavia. Henry expressed how truly bad he felt for the guy but the way he described those incidents had us all dying laughing.

Henry Rollins speaks the truth.

i'd rather not, because i'm real, so i cant go away, because than id be unreal, and that my friend is totally surreal, and i have to exist man, else nothing will be real, so you go away, and not be real, and ill continue living in the post-surreal

Henry is great. lol I love the sobbing part! lol

search for henry rollins surreal conversation pt-2 and there it is

That guy is freakin' Awsome

7:00 😂😂😂 Im Dead!

#HenryRollins surreal alright! Elaborate story telling!

I had no idea he did stand up. Not only that, he's really go at it!

That last bit was epic.

Seen him last night. Three hours straight no gaps no pauses no breaks. Take a cushion, my arse was numb.

Wouldn't doubt it.

Henry Rollins: Most Intelligent Comedian / Spoken Word Artist of our Time

I'm trying to start to read my 1872 volume of The Universal Self Instructional. It's my G-G-Grandfathers home maintenance and construction book. I know there is a wealth of old knowledge in there, but the book is that fragile, I'm scared to open it in case it falls apart.

No questions about it.

I love you, Henry. Give yr hand a rest, babe!

rollins is the man

teen idles was the first band of ian mackaye, first henry rollins band was called: state of alert

@KittyNinjaPiper That's just a beautiful thing. Keep it up.

how is it that hes not taken? i mean if i were his age id totally go there man!! henry seems like such a catch :D

I am pleasantly surprised to find out that Henry Rollins is so funny xD.

I thought i only "LOVED MYSELF" like that.

part 2 is on the side bar. There's the ending.

i read about this convo. in the Rollins book "Broken Summers" fucking amazing

Rollins is the fuckin' MAN.

'surreal conversation'..everybody has 'em..some more than others. I respect his brutal honesty puttin it all out there. all these things we're programmed to be "embarassed" to speak of. in these days of "political correctness" spread like a cancer, its refreshing. just talking about in front of a large audience must be freeing in itself

Is it all like Black Coffee Blues? Which I found as a narration of brutal tales wrought from a obviously intelligent thoughtful man tormented from a life on the fringe far from what we would call "decent" society. When one travels beyond middle class happy TV American society into the dark loneliness...it permanently marks you and you can't ever be "normal" again, much like what makes Rollins special.

Haha it's funny to me that he was the singer of one of the most influential American Punk bands...

fuckin love this guy

@Waluweegee NO, this man is amazing, even by the way he describes his life to be boring, and painful, it still comes out to be perfect, he can take anything, and make is meaningful (his music),and funny (this), we all love him.

3:48 LOL "Theres a one and a half second of WHAT THE FUCK do I do" LOL LLOL

Best i can sum it up as i fucking love him ;P

lololololol "a man wants some lovin"

10/10

where is the rest if this??? ahh soo good

i love me too!

So after 10 minutes of a story your just gunna cut out the ending?! Dislike!

sweet

Anybody know how to find the old stand up where he talks about eating dog food and when he worked for that medical lab?

I love henry, hes pretty fun. But think I like the more angry in your face Henry.

He says what he does is spoken word, just because there a few jokes thrown in doesn't make it a comedy show. And you know what? Too many jokes would water down the heartfelt messages he brings to his audience.

@Alienpelvis86 his personal office, he owns his own Publishing company

My dad is literally a less angry version of him

@NothingSacred27 "The bigger issue, of course, being why so many people who apparently hate him are bothering to watch his videos anyway." Excellent question. I think it's mostly that people with miserable lives like to make other people miserable, whenever possible

@Waluweegee Im right there with you. He's awesome

He's also a musician

You should’ve cut out the first almost 4 minutes so that you wouldn’t have to make a part 2.

His book on the Rise Above tour, "Broken Summers" is fucking amazing check it out

i read somewhere that the break in never happened that way. i mean it happened but i guess he ramped it up for entertainment. not too surprised...
