"Can you act?"
"Yeah, can you pay?"
Classic Henry.
MilkyWayToHeaven No shit. The entire point in my statement [that MOST people would comprehend] was how down to earth/"real" Henry is. Your sanctimonious reply was beyond unnecessary.
Down to earth? That "pay me" statement is the epitome of his new flashy cool and oblivious image. "Will you say what we write for you to say?" And he says "ya of course, just pay me... And I'll say whatever" That my friend, is a disgusting outlook on life and pretty much sums it up. Marketing "cool" and "hip" people to sell you some bogus ideology, or lack thereof. He can quote amendments to the Constitution! WOW a true intelligentsia
There are fine artist on both sides
Stephen Hargrave why are you such a bitter bummer? Let us enjoy our Rollins, you dumpster fire.
@@stephenhargrave7922 wanting to be paid for your time is a disgusting outlook on life?
Pharrell Williams will be the only senior citizen that can pass as a teenager
please explain
He looks like a baby with a mustache who's seen some shit.
By the time he's a senior, he'll pass as a teenager visually.
MonkeyMan convinced hes a vampire
You couldn't though, I looked up a Henry Rollins clip from 2000 when he was 39 years old, he had the body of a 20 year old, the face of a 40-50 year old.
Grease Fire Black don't crack
Rollins is more familiar with the constitution than most politicians.
Bull
@@nickstrapko7549 shit
nick strapko your out numbered! More people agree highjinxfilmz than you!
@@nickstrapko7549 Wrong
More than all right wingers/trumpers.
I'm an old punk rocker and I have to say both of these guys are very kind and very well spoken.
I was thinking the same thing watching this. Both are amazing humans.
There both from rock bands
Henry Rollins can be hella intense
he's just a very intelligent and complex person, you either love him or you hate him.
***** I agree
Liam Callaghan I think he's alright
THESNEAKERADDICT True!
henry rollins is just intense 24/7
I love Henry's humility. Which is a message in itself, "I'm not special, I'm not incredibly smart, if you use your brain, you can get to the same conclusions."
Imagine imagining saying that 20yrs ago lol
as a 47 year old punk...Henry yell at us in 1982 in a basement, that he would kick us in the head if we got close to him....I knew he meant business....just glad he's on our side.
if you watch Henry's Nardwuar interview from 13 years ago you can see how much he's changed for the better
Have you seen the interview he did with this teenager back in the 80's? What a giant fucking ass hole! It was my first time hearing of Henry Rollins, and it left a really bad taste. But, I kept watching interviews and it's great how much he's changed.
I always saw that as him fitting into his LA environment, who is he now was always inside him he just couldn't express it
^^ very well said!!
I was watching some old interviews and was thinking the same. Not a fan of music in anyway whatsoever, but love him as a person.
Job Hd Same here, can't get into BF lol. He's incredibly interesting, a personal role model. We share a lot of the same neuroses.
That story about meeting that soldier in the hospital though. Smash in the face reality, fighting tears.
I didn't fight 'em. Sometimes strength comes thru a release of weakness?😂😎
henry never ceases to amaze me. his ability to honestly express himself in any topic. such a thin skin hiding a raging current of hostility. but his voice, the calm,wise, informed,and compassionate. it would be exhausting to be around him for more than a weekend, but it would probably change the rest of your life.
THR33SHOES Well said.
why can't people like this run the world
+Tyler Durden Because of how he is. That's why.
Only sociopaths and the greedy suckceed in this life and aspire to power.
+Tyler Durden In a way he is doing it, many people pretty sure take his words to applicate in their daily lifes
Hey Tyler why don't you come and see me, I feel like destroying something beautiful.
+Tyler Durden Because is much easier give an opinion talk talk talk than DO and GO FOR IT YOURSELF
+sebastian pizzorno henry was part of one of the largest and legendary DO IT YOURSELF bands and labels and he's remembered first and foremost for black flag
Henry Rollins is THE BOMB. I can't think of any other person I'd want to have a conversation with at a gathering. SO intelligent AND funny.
+Elinor Hawke-Szady it would be him talking.
+stinky's chili Yeah and Elinor Hawke-Szady listening.
+fenryx0 He's "short, gray, and angry" LOL
lol
Watch his interview with Nardwuar. He is such an asshole
henry rollins is a 50/50 split of genius and extreme common sense. hearing his perspectives are definitley not a waste of time
Henry Rollins for president 2020
I'd rather drag my nut sack through a field of broken glass
@iam Nobody shhh
iam Nobody you are correct! You are nobody!
Has to be better than Dump
Not Kanye for president although I do like Kanye's music as well as Rollins.
Compared to old interviews from the 90s, it's amazing to see how much he has changed in interviews. He seems so much more relaxed and talkative. I have a humble admiration for him. My 2c, ... He always had a vision of what kind of person he wanted to be. But it's an uphill battle to turn into the best version of yourself.
told myself i'll just check this out for a few minutes.... didn't stop since it started. wow.
Same here its just cool seeing celebrities talk deeply
Every Rollins video...
OMG Network Fuck man yeah me too, couldn't stop ✌👊
His voiceover work on legend of korra was great.
Seriously. Reason I'm watching this video
i'm 3 years late, HENRY WAS ON LOK??? what the fuck. gotta go rewatch it now
Zaheer was amazing!
Henry Rollins is a truly remarkable man.
He speaks for everyone and his views are thoughtful, enlightened and always compassionate.
One of my all-time favourite human beings.
I love that Henry is very serious about patriotism and the Constitution, but he's not a fucking bigot like many others who claim to stand for those types of things. He's a sensible guy who genuinely cares about humans and their rights.
Cody B Ok.
doodl3bugg13 Rollins is a dick personally but I agree with him on the political level.
doodl3bugg13 he's been the only person I'd be super psyched to have as president.
doodl3bugg13 duly noted would've also worked haha
Nate Kudlich Ok.
One of them sings very angry and the other sings Happy.
and thats what maies it so beautiful, its a balance take a positive and a negative charge to create energy 🔋. I think thats the idea behind this one anyways, two almost polar opposites sitting down and have a progressive exchange that doesn't end in a war of some sort.
we're gonna rise above because i'm happy
Made me laff
I've just realised that Henry sounds like Saul Goodman...
Yep, only difference is Henry doesn't have that higher pitch that comes out when Saul's nervous or scared.... Cause Henry don't get nervous or scared hahah
That's exactly what I thought xD
A Great American and a damn fine artist.
+65sparx
Fuck yeah.
They are both damn fine artists IMO
Same shit I was thinking
Rollins is such an interesting person.
Pharrell lookin like Master Splinter.
Dear Mr. Rollins....Not only do you have a great mind, you have the biggest Heart.......on behalf of all thoose, whoose lives you have touched, thank you for all you do and the passion with wich you do it.
Wow....i s´pose ur right.....but i thought the meaning was more important than the means....everyone can spell check, i just prefer not to. From now on i will only speak on my own behalf.........but i will continue to misspell and my i will remain small because i am not that important... Namaste little sister.
Henry Rollins is someone that you could learn from in any situation. Such a humble intelligent guy. It’s incredible that he has spanned decades doing his thing, and is still relevant and on point. Schooling the newer generations. You can tell Pharrell is a fan and is genuinely interested in what Henry has to say...
I LOVE Henry Rollins!!!! I think he has very great points in this video!
the bit about the hospital just brought tears to my eyes, wow.... I've always had respect for Rollins, it just jumped by a magnitude
MY HEAD IS IMPLODING FROM THIS INCREDIBLE COMBINATION OF HUMANS
Henry is the man
Morrisman Smith ya bro. & looking back at his early interviews in comparison to now day's shit he's not the same guy in his attitude. But I guess as we grow up none of us really are..
pharrel was actually 220 yrs old in this video LOL the dude does not age
Pharrel is actually a vampire or ghoul who sucks the souls of young unknown talent in order keep his youthful look- comes out with a new song and beat and a new funky hat- looking 10 years younger each time- and another missing persons bulletin goes up on the post office wall.
Pharrel just waiting for the perfect time to say " that's heavy "
Henry is an amazing guy. Pharell is one too. We need more people who are willing to learn and teach like them!
Henry is one of those guys who motivates you to get shit done
Henry is one of the most fascinating person. When you read or, listen to "Get in The Van" and then to listen to this or any of his spoken word performance, it's AMAZING how different he is. From a cynic frontman thinking that 5 bucks a day working for SST records is as good as he's going to get to being this optimistic world traveller. He's on of my heroes and i hope to meet him someday.
7:20 tears welled up in my eyes.
"It's not a war on drugs it's a war on personal freedom"
Bill Hicks.
"short, grey, and angry" XD
God, I love you Henry and you are an AMAZING AMERICAN 😢😭
"I'm not trying to cause unrest, I'm trying to start a conversation..." thank you.

"what keeps you up at night?" *queue sad music*
AshZB... How much the music track I'm happy pississ me off.
AshZB She's lost Contol she's given away the secret s of her past
@@limzog9 that's Joy Division
I'm just glad Pharrell asked great questions. good interview. Henry is a great guy. with valid points.. u don't have to entirely beleive, in all he beleives.. but respect it.. for me, education is grand. and aside from that, treating your fellow Americans with love and respect. showing them, that we are all different. but we live under the same laws and rules. treat each other human.. always.. u can't go wrong..
Joe Jones Well said but we don't all live under the same laws & rules. I wish everyone had respect for the U.S., the law, & Constitution. Henry's very right. The law is writen, now it should be followed. It pertains to all of us. People need to play by the rules that we all agreed on. If somebody doesn't like the rules, work to change them. If there's not enough like minded folks to enact change, deal w/ it or leave. Lots of super concervative countrys & super liberal countrys looking for citizens out there.
We need to know history. That is what education is, every subject matter that is taught is really the history of that subject matter. If you know your history you are no longer subject to manipulation. We have deep amnesia in the US. Read. This guy is well read.
I'm much more of a George Carlin type of guy but also hugely respect and admire people like Henry, Biafra or Mackaye (no matter how idealistic they can get). They are powerfully inspirational and also amazing men.
Great interview. I love Pharrell's reaction when Rollins says, "I'm no genius." Respect to the both of them...
that's heavy man
oh shit it got worse
LOL Henry was almost at a loss of words after that response to his amazing story.
Henry dropped a jewel on the war on drugs. he has the solution
the real solution had been around as soon as it was tested in netherlands and it worked, it's just that nobody cared enough/wanted in the US of A to go through with it.
Godscience DNA Music Productions america doesnt care as they make money out of locking people up... $$$$$$
Too many people would be out of jobs and too many people in power would lose money if they did that though. Have to get the people to wake up and realize that before we can enact change. Although, it's slowly been happening with marijuana which is pretty incredible because I never, ever thought I'd see that in my lifetime.
Our country is corrupt, the war on drugs is so profitable for our government regardless of a solution being made available it will never be applied sadly
Rollins has a thoughtful and meaningful approach to the conversation. Instead of anger and instigation he's using the power of words to shape things truly for the better. I lean Republican, but I can certainly appreciate the WAY he speaks about these programs, these problems, and it seems like if more thought leaders enter the arena of politics who are willing to work together things could get better, for everyone. I hope that he inspires a new generation, both left and right, to be better, do better, and strive to excel beyond the current Capital Hill politicians. AOC has a lot to learn from someone so tactful with words.
Aw, bruh. You had me, then you had to go throw shade at another thoughtful speaker.
@@mnkykungfu Honestly not shade. I've always been a fan and think that everyone in the political realm could learn from him. Words mean stuff. I can thoughtfully disagree or agree on positions and still appreciate the artistry in words and Rollins has always been exceptional at that. Def not shade. World needs more thoughtfulness and love than hate.
8 minutes in this gets really real. All respect to Henry and to the damaged warriors. I wish things were different, especially now.
Henry is amazing and Pharrell has some amazing questions
I wanna smoke what your smoking.
Pieter Paßmann.. Shame with lricks like her ass is space ship I want to ride she's sexy?
I'd love to see this interview done again. Post me too, post covid, post blm. Rollins is a champion to all.
Pharell like a lil kid talking to his grandad
Henry better get really good at economics. I want him to be president.
Stranger things have happened my friend.
What makes think that we need a president?
@HerrNilssonTheMonkey Henry is a way smarter person than Trump. Fuck off
HerrNilssonTheMonkey That’s what makes our country great! Not a trump fan at all but again that’s what makes our country great! We have the right to vote a president in! And you can disagree with the outcome but don’t ever cry about it!
@@uoDucks6 Agreed
It's so cool how the strong voiced and polarizing figure that is Henry Rollins can express so many strong opinions without being offensive or noninclusive. Whether you agree with his views or not, dude is a genius. He's got a real grasp on the state of the world and he has real solutions to real problems, which is more than I can say about any politician.
What an insightful and educating interview, it's nice for a change to witness a higher degree of intelligence, great interview and I am appreciative of his views, excellent job Noisey for uploading this!
Thank you Henry
I remember the first time I heard a black flag record. I was about 11 years old. I did not like the music at all. But, something about it grabbed me. I continued to listen and it grew on me. Then I started to understand the lyrics. Punk grew on me. Before punk I listened to what ever my parents were listening to at the time. Black Flag took me out of the house to look around in the yard. I discovered so many sounds. What I absolutely love about Henry Rollins is that he does not put up some stupid fake front to influence an opinion out of you in regards to what he would want you to think of him. He does not act in any way that is not true to himself. he is very opinionated however he is intelligent enough to recognize other peoples opinions. That is my take on him. I would not care if he hated everything I liked. he is true and true to himself. So, what you get from Henry is Henry! : )
After many hours witnessing Rollins's views and honest persona...I can just say WOW, what an amazing human being, his social awareness is stunning, with that comes his brutal honesty....Kindness where it's due and hate where it's due but before that he is a calm and calculated individual.
Anything I witness with him talking is just a pure joy to see and hear. A beautiful human being.
That was an amazing interview with Henry Rollins. Pharrell asks great questions. Henry has some intelligent solutions to make not only America but many other countries much better by far. I love his idea that education for all solves many of the issues that we are experiencing today.
Henry is my American role model, my hero.
2020
@@josephstal7060 it is now
Another great interview, Thanks for some great stuff!
This is incredible . Super glad I found this .
Pharrel zoned out thinking of boys clubs, ice cream, roller-blades, and hats.
HAhahahaha
well put
😂😂😂 "hats" deeeeewd.
Hats!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’m not a fan of Pharrells music, but I met him in summer 2004 when I was with the scouts going from Dublin to Switzerland. I could just hear some excitement behind me and some of the girls were saying hi to him and getting his autograph, he was a perfectly nice guy, he spoke very kindly to all of them and got in some pictures and signed autographs.
Watching this in 2018, would love to see this interview done again today.
it was great that they took this from reserve channel & intertwined it with noisey to target a wider audience. i will forever love pharrell & others, the people that help support such legendary actions.
this is not back and forth...it's Pharell interviewing Rollins
Rollins seems intensely smart. Williams seems thoughtfully smart. What a great country to live in that we can enjoy both. Really liked this.
I could listen to this guy talk all day. Amazing human being.
I am sooo glad I live in a time with Henry Rollins. Hes a genuis
"Wow,that's heavy man" Pharrell responds woodenly,because he's happy!!!!!
SO GLAD i am not the only one thinking this: HENRY ROLLINS PRESIDENT PLEASE. what an amazing mind.
Sarah Crouse Rollins? President? I'm not sure if even his hardcore fans think that.
Thanks for the access to this interview. Not a waste of time.
I love Rollins, he's just awesome
This is no back and forth. This is one way communication 101
ROLLINS for pres. in '16.
Fuck it, I just heard his bit about Obummbler...My opinion of him has changed forever.
rich short please share?
Nate Kudlich
He has changed from the anti-establishment icon he was in the early '80s. Now, he is just a puppet for the very thing he claimed to despise.
rich short I think that instead of staying in the narrow lane that anti-establishment follows he simply accepted that with the right people in power, more good can come around than from always saying fuck the man. At least he's got solutions that make sense to 90% of population. How is supporting marriage equality for all being a puppet for the man? How is saying education is the key to moving society forward? How is saying war will soon be a thing of the past? How can you look at any of the things he says and find any issue? You want people to not be able to be with someone they love? Why? You don't want people to be educated? Why? You want to go to war? Why? I might be totally far off in my logic and if I am let's talk.
Nate Kudlich
There will never BE "the right people" in power. They are ALL puppets for big business/corporations. Where did you get the idea that "90%" of the population thinks he makes sense? Pulled it out of the air apparently because there are less far lefties in this country than right-thinkers. I am not a Republican or a Democrat, as I believe they are two heads of one snake. I don't know how to put my feelings in a certain category such as Dem., or Repub. I don't CARE what two grown men do in their bedrooms, but I do care if they want to marry, because they will get the spousal benefits that come with true marriage,i.e.,a man and a woman. If you,and I won't say "choose" to be gay(because I do not believe it is a choice, people are born this way), that is A-OK, there is no reason to have special treatment. As far as the "education" he is referring to, it is code for "inner-city programs" that do nothing but waste taxes,on people who do NOT want to be educated, or work, the same shit that has been going on for YEARS (look at Baltimore), and NOTHING changes. The politicians pocket the cash, especially in any city where BLACK politicians are in charge. Go look at how Detroit is doing, and you will see my point if you take off your politically-correct, rose colored glasses, and lose the white-guilt.
I never get tired of hearing Henry Rollins - I listen to hours of him talking about anything and everything that enters his mind.
Quick question to anyone who knows: If this is part 2 where is part 1? lol
Thank you for having this conversation.
Henry Rollins could be a professor, with no effort at all. That dude is damn smart!
I must agree with Pharell's disagree, when Rollins said he is no genius.
Rollins 2020
so much respect for both of these guys. this what plato was talking about when saying music should reflect our ethical and moral values. so inspirational!
Thanks to both men for sitting down together. And thanks for posting the vid for those outside of America .
he's an humble guy
'Can you act?'
"Yeah, can you pay?"
Hahahaha :)
This was a excellent watch!
Henry Rollins is awesome

Anyone else think there's something Jim Carey-Esque about Henry and his facial expressions?
Dec McCallion Eyes and eyebrows/brow I'd say.. got a similar child like honesty, enthusiasm & zest (in his eyes/expression).. Total engagement & attentiveness to his conversant and what was just said.. Instead of like most adults, after giving their 2 cents eyes glaze over thinking of what they wanna say next, not vibing/reading the other person or letting their words & responses soak in.. a lot of ppl say what they would've anyway, regardless of response - basically dual simultaneous monologues in effect..

Awesome. Henry is so brilliant
He's such an interesting person lol

Thanks for working with the USO... means a lot more than many realize.
I've been a this man's fan since Weight and saw him perform on Woodstock 94
this is suppose to be back and forth right? I was waitng for the pharell part
People, you need to do more research on Rollins. Read books about Black Flag and you should discover how cool of a dude he is.
Great conversation, awesome interview.
Henry Rollins for president. This guy is like Socrates, he has very deep thoughts. As Henry is the The Ruts #1 fan whenever he has something to say, I sit down and I listen. And I LEARN.
Juan Espinosa.... It's really funny he's got to focus
Bro after hearing about Rollins with the vet kid , anyone who i catch saying something bad about Rollins is getting popped in the mouth.
Watching this aug 2018... wow, even more relevant today under the trump admin
mdh6977 same
I appreciate this man in ways I can’t explain.
I love Henry Rollins and have so much respect! I feel like I missed a lot in 10 years before I was born.
