I was in line for the Rollins book signing at Tower that he references. George Carlin did indeed stop by and talked with some of us in line and posed for pics. He bought a Soul Coughing cassette. I was truly starstruck. Great guy. Rollins was cool, too.
George Carlin was on of those comedians that got better with age. We need more people on earth like George Carlin, Henry Rollins. Interesting people with something to say.
But, being insecure about one's craft, is a different animal. Low self-esteem, can come from different places, and I'd not judge it, anyway. Love Carlin, but, not everthing he said was gold.
What a sad little person you are. Shouting out your anger over a dead man into the great empty nothingness of youtube. You should try to do something positive instead, might make you a happier individual.
Henry Rollins has managed to not only make George Carlin wait in line to meet him, but have him consider his material funny without being a comedian. That's talent, right there.
You don't need to, man. Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. Compare the topics George talked about in his old specials and compare them to modern times. Apart from a few dated references to early tech and old actors and politicians, those specials aged beautifully. They still hold 100% true today as they did back in the day
I especially liked the humble brag about his time hanging out with Ozzy and about how Carlin wanted to meet him and waited in line to get his autograph
i always wondered how George carlin got on Thomas the tank engine back in the 90’s once i got into comedy and realized who he was and that he was in my favorite childhood tv show.
I have never seen Rollins in an interview before. I had no idea he was so down to earth. Nothing like some respect for a person to make you like them even more.
Sorry Rogue Planet, but Henry Garfield RUINED Black Flag. It was much better with Keith, Ron, or Dez singing. Henry turned it into jock rock angry macho crap. I'm assuming you're just a youngster, therefore you know not of what you speak.
Keanu Reeves is like that. So dedicated to the craft that he will take a pay cut to get the right actor on board. He did it with Devils Advocate so Al Pachino could work and I think it was the best decision he ever made for that project.
huge fan of this guy always a person first and foremost never lets himself get too high , and a real musician artist took a long time for him to get where he is a lotta determination
George Carlin was the most incredible speaker of all time... fucking utterly incredible, if you have never watched his material you are seriously doing yourself a disservice, incredible mind as well, extremely intelligent, and not just that mainly ahead of his time, and creative, just amazing.
Henry is beautifully describing the artist mentality. At no point is money mentioned.That is the devision of popular and passion. The best could and have died broke or at least with far less than they deserve. Its a rare thing , but sometimes the masses see genius. Mostly though, goes unnoticed.
That's hilarious!!! At 1:00 when he's mentioning the story of this rock star worrying bout nobody showing up, before Henry even said it I was already thinking that's gotta be Ozzy haha & sure enough! 😆
Also met George carlin. Not technically met but I was a deck hand at his show one time and he was so gracious and deferential with me it was shocking. The man you see on stage vs the man in real life. I’ll never forget that.
Always had a hunch he was a total Carlin fanboy since he dressed like him in On stage and thinks like him. Glad to see it’s for real. Carlin was a legend before his time
I bought George Carlin classic gold when I was in 8th grade on CD. I bought his books and loved them still read them from time to time. He was before my time, but well I always was a fan of stand up and he's always been my favorite.
When Henry mentioned Lenny Bruce helping young comedians with their acts, it reminded me of Jerry Lewis, when we Teched the National Tour of "Damn Yankees" at Eisenhower Hall at West Point. While the Introduction Music would play before the curtain went up for the first act, Jerry would talk individually with the young Actors, and give them advice on their performances. He was very gentle with them. When he first arrived at the theater, our Crew was on Coffee Break, hanging out on the loading dock. Jerry came up and talked with us for a 1/2 hour, asked everyone's name and Never Forgot them! It was a Great Month in my career!
Unfortunately, how he met Lenny Bruce wasn't an accurate story nor was it how he got arrested with Lenny Bruce(it did happen, just not that way) . But I agree. :) I posted a comment explaining what George had to say about that in his book.

@@venimo No! :) Him being wrong on a simple story doesn't mean anything negative about him. We've all been wrong before. I was merely correcting. That's all.
Michael P what the fuck.... that’s exactly my point ahaha. All immigrants have had to face serious opposition. While white americans are born with a silver spoon in there asses. The govt pays you to go to school and there are still homeless lol ridiculous
I beg to differ, I've met many celebrities, being a regular guy myself, and there are some that are completely full of themselves, others are quite friendly and relaxed
I’m an old self-employed musician who spent (wasted?) his life playing bars, restaurants, Vegas lounges and Broadway musicals….basically a sell out, I guess. All they had to do was wave a check in my face. Anyway, once I was playing in a lounge act at the Casbah lounge at the Sahara in Vegas and Carlin was in the main room. We had a pretty good relationship with the maitre’d and he would let us in to watch Carlin’s stand-up routine. Years later I’m working at a Holiday Inn bar in Buena Park and Carlin’s staying at the hotel because his wife was working at a local theater. Well, because my band partner and I both grew up in New York listening to do-wop, we’re performing some obscure song by a “one hit wonder” group and Carlin’s out in the audience, hears the tune and comes up to me and asks me the name of the group. I’m completely blown away because this guy’s been my hero since I first saw him on Sullivan in a tux years ago. I tell him that I was in the lounge at the Sahara while he was in the main room and we’re talking like we’re two old friends meeting on a street in the Bronx after being apart for a long time. He was the most unpretentious, down to earth celebrity I have ever met in my life…..and incredibly talented to boot.
I have to agree. As someone who used to do lighting for films and concerts I've met all kinds of famous people, of varying levels. And most of the most famous of them were genuinely kind, considerate, polite people. It was the ones of middling, or lesser fame, or maybe some on their way up who thought they were owed something. And most of those never amounted to anything. You always catch more flies with honey, so to speak.
Met Henry Rollins one night after a spoken word gig in New Orleans. Very cool and down to earth guy. Asked him to recommend some books, and he gave me a list. Very cool.
They are right. I am very relaxed and happy with myself - and have always been lazy and self satisfied. It worked out for me - I'm content and have provided for myself to my satisfaction. But I would never achieve what these guys who do this impressive stuff do.
Its the same for painters, you're never overly confident about your work, you always criticize it, not because you feel you ought to, but because you genuinely feel that you can do better -- in Zen they talk about keeping a beginners mind.
Rollins and Carlin in the same room. Sometimes life can be that cool.
Tomislav Debelić word for word, that's exactly what I thought in that moment :)
right u r
When you really wanna be a fly in the room

Absolutely.

comedians improve with age. Musicians lose it with age.
The saltier you get the better you are.
Henry Rollins sucks.
@@Zack29810 Go back under your bridge Troll. Feeding times over.
The Anti Christ - what an extremely reductive comment defying a sense of irony.
"Most people with low self-esteem have earned it." - George Carlin
@Media Sawdust
That is a great quote.
JCmasters100 “Feminist” meant something different back then. That term is widely misconstrued today
Fuck you with that PC bullshit.
But, being insecure about one's craft, is a different animal. Low self-esteem, can come from different places, and I'd not judge it, anyway. Love Carlin, but, not everthing he said was gold.
Ignore JCmasters100 - hes a jealous troll.
Carlin was the best comic EVER. A genius.
Rollins impression of Ozzy!!😂🤣
Henry Rollin's memory is amazing.
How so?
Skunk69 x He remembers specific dates, years, shit from books that nobody else can recall. It's insane.
He is such a cool weird dude
He’s pretty damn sober
odious well no grammys or Oscars are ever gonna come his way, but it's fun to hear his stories.....he seems genuine.
Henry Rollins is such a down to earth dude, respect. Not spoiled by the industry.
"Is there anyone out there? Im always affraid no one is gonna show up."
-Ozzy
The three men I admire most. Ozzy...George and Henry all in one conversation.
Not "The Father, Son, and The Holy Ghost?" 😉
💯
Joe should have Ozzy on. I wouldn't understand a word he says but it would be entertaining.
maybe Joy Diaz could translate
It seems like ozzy is one of the biggest pos in the rock bussines. There a few podcast storieas about him. Even bert has one
rockyto13 are you not mistaking him with gene Simmons?
C M ohh shit i think you are right
God Ozzy would be amazing.
I just want a whole podcast of Rollins doing his Ozzie impression
"I get really depressed man" - Ozzy
That was so great 😆😆😆
Also, "Where are the drugs?"
Sad For Ozzy.
George Carlin was the greatest public speaker of all time and still is.
j mace interesting... Id love to read his books
i would say Christopher Hitchens is on a Par with George...not as Funny though :)
Best ever is kind of a silly contention, what about Hitler?
What a sad little person you are. Shouting out your anger over a dead man into the great empty nothingness of youtube. You should try to do something positive instead, might make you a happier individual.
He is a terrible public speaker these days...does not have much to say...just sits there rotting.
Ozzy - "I get really depressed."
Joe - "AHAHAHAHAHHA"
Henry Rollins has managed to not only make George Carlin wait in line to meet him, but have him consider his material funny without being a comedian.
That's talent, right there.
Sure wish George were still here. Would have loved to hear his thoughts on 2020.
I believe it would in part using the word "fuck" in many questioning ways.
You don't need to, man. Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. Compare the topics George talked about in his old specials and compare them to modern times. Apart from a few dated references to early tech and old actors and politicians, those specials aged beautifully. They still hold 100% true today as they did back in the day
He would have said fuck this shit. I’m going back to sleep.
"What the fuck, is wrong with you people" would likely be his first statement.
Stay humble and teachable. Nice to hear other people like Henry Rollins have social anxiety
"Stay humble and teachable" : Is that your quote Gabby E.?
I especially liked the humble brag about his time hanging out with Ozzy and about how Carlin wanted to meet him and waited in line to get his autograph
Gabby E that explains why I like him so much, I can relate
Some of the work in Rollins' spoken word acts details just how bad his anxiety was at a point, really eye opening.
Preacher Jenkins mm yes.
holy shit imagine carlin waiting in line to meet you lol
Years later George Carlin gave notes to a very young comic who had the balls to show him his material. His name was Garry Shandling...
WOW Henry just brought tears to my eye's , that was inspiring. Long Live George Carlin and Lenny Bruce. And Henry Rollins. And Ozzy.
His impressions of Ozzy and Carlin are so good hahaha
I Love Henry, George and Ozzy. The Trifecta.
i always wondered how George carlin got on Thomas the tank engine back in the 90’s once i got into comedy and realized who he was and that he was in my favorite childhood tv show.
"Why is it that people against abortion are people no one would want to f*** in the first place?" -Carlin
is that a moral highground?
Val Valerian it's comedy
I love that he opened his special with that line. No bullshit, right into it.
Actually, conservative people are in general more attractive.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that you are a conservative.
I swear....Henry is one of the coolest human beings on the planet.😁👍
I frikkin love Henry Rollins!! his energy even off the screen is so infectious - I wanna go write a book now...one of the coolest guys!!
pseudo intellectual fucking idiot
Man, I LOVE me some George Carlin, and to hear that he got nerves, even in his absolute prime, really makes me think.
George Carlin will always be the best. Finest comedian/social critic ever.
George Carlin was a genius.
WWGD
Absolutely. He can never be truly replaced. I love Louis CK but he will never be George Carlin.
I have never seen Rollins in an interview before. I had no idea he was so down to earth. Nothing like some respect for a person to make you like them even more.
That was an incredible ozzy impression
"Let go your earthly tether
Enter the void
Empty and become wind"
-Guru Henry Rollins
I get that reference
Henry is a rare human.
BigErn_Mccraken I love panic at the disco
his book is great - about his violent punk years 1980-1987. that fucked up
Joe “I think I read that too” Rogan
MikefromQueens lololols
Joe "Pull that up" Rogan
Joe "(long pause) I think" Rogan
Joe: where's that line from, Henry: THIS BOOK Joe: oh i got that book Henry: its a good read LOLZ
Joe "But Have You Tried DMT?" Rogan
Henry Rollins really has that "old man upset" face already.
Henry Rollins is the Man, much respect.
How so?
He played in motherfucking Black Flag, that ALONE deserves respect. Not to mention he's just a genuine person.
czcams.com/video/BkvEpoqFx6c/video.html
Sorry Rogue Planet, but Henry Garfield RUINED Black Flag. It was much better with Keith, Ron, or Dez singing. Henry turned it into jock rock angry macho crap. I'm assuming you're just a youngster, therefore you know not of what you speak.
Skunk. umm no Greg Ginn did that. Ginn is the one who took them into shit metal. Ginn also fucked over every person who ever played in that band.
Their back and forth Ozzy impression is hilarious, lol.
Imagine a 12 hour long conversation between Rollins and Carlin. I would be mesmerized the entire time...
Ever looked at your watch, and you don't know what time it is? -George.
Man, freaking miss that guy...
I dont get it
5:52 "This take is everything and it's a good lesson never lose that" I love Henry ❤️
Keanu Reeves is like that. So dedicated to the craft that he will take a pay cut to get the right actor on board. He did it with Devils Advocate so Al Pachino could work and I think it was the best decision he ever made for that project.
He did it in The Replacements too so he could get Gene Hackman in it.
Almost f****** choked when he started impersonating Ozzy
Henry rolling is a fucking amazing human being. What a guy he's been everywhere
Henry Rollins is my favorite person ever.
If Joe can get OZZY on that would be INCREDIBLE!!
wtf why i thought hes already dead?
huge fan of this guy always a person first and foremost never lets himself get too high , and a real musician artist took a long time for him to get where he is a lotta determination
I enjoyed watching this, thank you both.
George, Henry and Joe. Three of my heroes. Thanks for posting.
George Carlin was the most incredible speaker of all time... fucking utterly incredible, if you have never watched his material you are seriously doing yourself a disservice, incredible mind as well, extremely intelligent, and not just that mainly ahead of his time, and creative, just amazing.

Its a rare thing , but sometimes the masses see genius. Mostly though, goes unnoticed.
Thank you Mr Rollins, the story & advice re requisite humility, priceless. All the best to you and Mr Rogan
Even before Henry said it was Ozzy, I knew he was talking about Ozzy... lol
That's hilarious!!! At 1:00 when he's mentioning the story of this rock star worrying bout nobody showing up, before Henry even said it I was already thinking that's gotta be Ozzy haha & sure enough! 😆
His Carlin is very good.
SmoothCriminalAaron Henry does a lot of pretty good impressions.
Trying hard not to binge on these clips and wait for the complete show. Hank is always a great guest.
Cliff Trainor someone has a funny profile pic
can't wait to see henry's show in march, very inspiring guy
His Ozzy impression is pretty damn good
Really good clip. Perfect way to end it and everything. *thumbs up*
I love this whole interview!
Loved Henry in 'The Chase' as the standard issue street soldier. EPIC!
Also met George carlin. Not technically met but I was a deck hand at his show one time and he was so gracious and deferential with me it was shocking. The man you see on stage vs the man in real life. I’ll never forget that.
One of my favorite movies is "He Never Died". I'm looking forward to the sequel.
He Never Died 2: Never Died Harder
He Never Died 3: You Only Never Die Twice
He Never Died 4: What Part of Never Don't You Understand
the last one cracked me up
Are they making another one?
Always had a hunch he was a total Carlin fanboy since he dressed like him in On stage and thinks like him. Glad to see it’s for real. Carlin was a legend before his time
Ozzy ... Henry has the funniest stories. I love them both.
I still have two cassette tapes of "Occupation Foole"
I love Henry Rollins! Great pop yblic speaker and story teller
I bought George Carlin classic gold when I was in 8th grade on CD. I bought his books and loved them still read them from time to time. He was before my time, but well I always was a fan of stand up and he's always been my favorite.
I would have done anything to see them together.
"Carlin & Rollins - Together at last!"
Woof!
Really? Hard to believe Ozzy would think like that lol
I dont know much about Ozzy as a person, I just love black sabbath. I guess I expected some kind of diva rockstar type, idk.
Sharon's the Diva, Ozzy's totally down to earth just as you'd want him to be.
At the end of the day he's just a guy from a British steel city

I missed this clip in the long version-- good grab. Being faithful to the muse, most important
The good ones are obedient to the Muse. God I needed that today....
This is why I love George Carlin, Ozzy and Henry Rollins! Down to Earth is an understatement.
George Carlin was a Giant of a personality and a funny dude
Your mind is your own greatest enemy.
Johnny Black true that
as an immigrant in the US, racism and lack of support from the govt are my greatest enemies
The mind is a terrible thing to taste

Never lose that... that is the key to success right there. Put everything into what you do or else life ends up mediocre
"Ozzy"
"JESUS CHRIST"
exact same reaction i had.
wow.
WOW.
Great chat.
""Never lose............. that""
Henry is a great dude
Such a humble man.

I have to agree. As someone who used to do lighting for films and concerts I've met all kinds of famous people, of varying levels.

And most of those never amounted to anything. You always catch more flies with honey, so to speak.
great stuff : ) 👍
George Carlin was the best.
His Ozzy impression Is pretty good..
Again Henry Rollings make you feel like you're worthy, and George Carlin mmm brilliant
Met Henry Rollins one night after a spoken word gig in New Orleans. Very cool and down to earth guy. Asked him to recommend some books, and he gave me a list. Very cool.
Henry is one of my all time role models.
Rollins was great in, HEAT. I am sure, he met lots of BIG ACTORS on that set.
He was great in Johnny Pneumonic, too. He met Keanu and Dolph on that set.
They are right. I am very relaxed and happy with myself - and have always been lazy and self satisfied. It worked out for me - I'm content and have provided for myself to my satisfaction. But I would never achieve what these guys who do this impressive stuff do.
I love George Carlin. It's cool to hear that Henry was also a fan of his.
Rollins can go on about Ozzy for hours, I am glad he held back this interview.
