- An excerpt from the tv program "Durch die Nacht mit... (Into the Night with...) Henry Rollins and Shirin Neshat". Henry gets mocked by local hipsters at the record store and fights back immediately.
I heard that if you say “get in the van” three times in front of the mirror at midnight henry rollins will appear behind you and make fun of your record collection
Omfg lmao
He’ll respect that I have Joy Division in the collection.
Welll rock out too some Motörhead records 🥃
Nah - we’d drink coffee, lift weights, and listen to the Ruts.
Amazing comment 🤣
That head turn and look on Rollins's face after she says "get in the van"
TARGET ACQUIRED
Was gonna like your comment, but saw you had 187 likes...
@Jeff Hanneman It's mentioned in "Demolition man" too.
I hear the alert sound from MGS every time I see his head turn in this video
What does that mean?
He is the Doom Guy Icon
Henry Rollins is like a level 5 hipster, these hipsters are just level 1
Lol
Hahahaha
fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuk you
Henry Rollins aint no fuckin hipster
HE IS THE TRUE SELF DENYING OVER 9000 MEGA HIPSTER
Rollins hit them with the old one-two - "She's ethnic!" (Hipsters: Awwwwwww!) "She stands up for women!" (Hipsters: Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!)
*hand rubbing intensifies*
Exactly.
@@gorgeousgeorge7960 oy! cool it with the antisemitic remarks
@@aemroa Um. she's Iranian, not Jewish.
Hand rubbing is only a jewish thing?
Henry Rollins hears the girl yell out his name and his first thought is- "There's no choice but to confront you, engage you, to erase you, I've gone to great links to expand my threshold of pain, I'll use all of my mistakes against you, there's no other choice. I'm nameless now, I'm nothing now, I'm no one now, but my soul must by iron cause my fear is naked. Naked and fearless and my fear is naked, Dead Inside".
Then he walks over there and calls her a hipster.
contactkeithstack lol love the tool reference
Nailed it. And we love him for that.
+contactkeithstack You sound exactly like the sort of person who everyone avoids in real life. Kudos to you, brave rebel!
+Outdoor Mirrorist and you sound like someone who doesn't get humor. At least the subtle kind
shit adds up
His face at 1:28. You can tell he had a mini flash back to the black flag days
+strangebrew420 An in that moment, He remembered all the times he got hit in the head with beer bottles and could not contain the rage with in him.
+strangebrew420 25 years ego he'd have fucked her entire world up.
+Herman Melville I'm pretty sure he did with his trust fund comment alone. Judging by her reaction he clearly had her pegged.
+strangebrew420 You stole my comment man lol. He was like "It's on lady"
strangebrew420 lol
This is just social anxiety folks. He went into fight or flight mode. I do the same from time to time and I usually feel like an idiot afterwards. It’s almost like a fit of PTSD. You’re bullied as a child and you want to let the world know you’re not going for it anymore but you end up misjudging the situation and overreacting. I’m sure he’d be the first to tell you he mishandled this situation today.
Yeah that’s a pretty good assessment. He has talked a lot about anxiety before.
Yeah. But something else. They wanted attention. Do not take someone's time away
Do so at a concert gig or book signing😊💝😊
imo cause he has also spoken about how it takes him 3 times to do the same thing someone learns after the first time and works harder to make sure he does, and being diagnosed "hyperactive" through school, he seems to have ADHD, and this is similar looking to RSD or "rejection sensitive disorder" which is observed a lot in folks with ADHD. In saying that I definitely don't think ADHD, anxiety and PTSD are mutually exclusive a lot of the time.
He was filming a piece. So rude to heckle the scene. Hecklers wanted attention. They got it.
Cope
I like how Henry thinks everyone else is as cerebral and hyper-analytical about culture as he is.
He doesnt think theyre that cerebral, he just does a good job of exposing and outlining their subconscious biases.
@@CA-or9ix Yes, thank you
No. He’s just a good old fashion asshole. Always has Been
They weren’t even making fun of him u fucking idiot
@@CA-or9ix - I like Rollins, but he was pretty lame here. He was obviously feeling mad insecure about aging and being around women half his age. He was making all of these weird, self loathing assumptions about what other’s were supposedly thinking about him, which existed in his head only.
The Curb Your Enthusiasm music should be playing through this whole video...
+Sam Mouser gold
holy shit it's even shot like a curb episode
Thats a great idea im going to steal.
Fuck that, the Zeppelin is good enough for me.
@@honeymoonisover put the link for your edit comarade.
If you call out Henry Rollins...expect Henry Rollins.
...to act like a total tool about his ego and project his insecurities.
Yeah ok.
I don't think anyone called him out
@@MoreAverageThanMost yeah you’re right that we were super polite and friendly…
Nobody called him out.
The irony is that Henry Rollins is the ULTIMATE hipster.
No, that would be Stephen Malkmus, Kim Gordon, or Courtney Taylor-Taylor.
Henry is punk, not hipster- punks tend to sincerely believe in things, whereas hipsters tend to be insincere and mock sincerity.
He even has a Persian exile with him as an accessory.
***** She is one of the ultimate ones, too cool for school since day one. Whatever is popular she's already bored with, and anything she isn't is probably pretty obscure. Thurston's almost as bad.
yeah dude, so ironic! just because you said it. right.
hes the king of hipsters
That look he made when that chick was yelling for him in the record store was priceless.
"Get in the van..."
Death stare
Says it's full of hipsters, gets handed a demo on a CASSETTE. 10/10, just brilliant.
Says he's perceived as "old and in the way." 3:05: he's literally in the way.
Dude dropped his mixtape on Rollins. ha
Laughs in Filthy Frank “check out my mix tape man.”
"Get in the van"
Triggered.
Triggered AF.
Really poor impulse control.
The man has dealt with fans well over 30 years. I think he knows what are fan responses and what are not. People constantly heckle musicians and actors.
With his attitude it is no wonder why.
@@2true359 thank god he was in a famous punk band, suited him well
1:27 when you remember you left the stove on
Connor Norris hahaha holy shit . That's funny
Haha!!!
Best comment
*OH*
Rollins gives me anxiety
Cammdc 1 I don’t think drugs would change his rational way of thinking
shut up everybody has "anxiety"
Truth is hard to swallow
Rollins gives the world anxiety in a good way!
I think Rollins gives himself anxiety
"Are they laughing? They're laughing. Why are they laughing? ARE THEY LAUGHING AT ME?!" - Henry Rollins
To be fair I think a lot of men find a group of girls laughing at them (or perceive them to be laughing at them) triggering to their manhood
Lmao!
I was a really shy and quiet kid and always thought laughter was directed at me.
That moment you realize Rollins is the hipster.
It makes me realize that most of what I've ever heard or seen from him has been HIS words, alone, with no input. Soon as he's with other people and allowing them to say anything, his awkwardness is right there. Punks are inherently dorks, even if they're macho. I'm not above it, I'm a macho dork myself.
@@jamescarter3196 Hey James, Get in the Van!
.... waits cautiously
I think that’s what really set the old boy off
100% seen his spoken word show and almost puked. Reminded me of a lot of friends I had outgrown as a teenager.
@@cakemike Henry Rollins talks like he wants to be a character in an Aaron Sorkin's movie so bad lmao, check the first scene of the Social Network, the lack of self awareness in this guy is incredible
when she said what "hey sweet tooth, get in the van man"@1:22 look at that look on his face. seems like he had a flashback to the days in black flag when people would heckle them like crazy, throwing bottle at their heads, spitting on them, trying to fight them etc.
and then in an instant he remembered he was in (2007?) and in a record shop so he calmed down (and probably unclenched his fists haha) i bet this could've gotten ugly real quick. but luckily it didn't
Eh, I wish it did. Nothing beats a shit eating grin like a good pop in the mouth.
Did you watch the end? OR is that what get in the van is about? If so it sounds bleak.
hehehe great assumption
kinda like a vietnam trauma
I know a guy who got knocked out by Henry Rollins. True story.
David Fruits That needs more detail !
Henry Rollins is 10/10 in theory, but 3/10 in execution.
Punk isn't perfect- was never meant to be.
Bonnie Thomas lumberjackin is a big man skill!
John S I said lumberjack looking, no skills..as in; not really lumberjack
True, but Greg Ginn was the missing 7.
He did just fine mr snarky pants
" I could have told you that was going to happen."
Well, Henry, you kind of helped created that situation.
Hence why he knew it was going to happen. What part of it is hard to understand?
I feel like I am going to sneeze, I tell who ever I am with that I am going to sneeze, then, I sneeze. Its not exactly insightful.
he controlled that situation. someone shoves u push back.
antcawdor That’s what CreamOfWeber is saying...
How would you have handled it?
@@antcawdor but then its not exactly noteworthy, let alone impressive, that he "could have told it was going to happen".
I think back on this interaction a lot. It's so bizarre, I don't even know who's at fault, or if anyone's at fault. Are they hipsters? Was it a slight? Did Rollins overreact? Was he right to overreact in order to preempt further slighting? Is Rollins down to earth, super full of himself, both, or neither? Would everyone involved still behave the way they did if they'd known how this got lame and weird fast? It's confusing and unpleasant how confusing it is.
I can't possibly form an opinion on the events. Even saying "Henry gets mocked by local hipsters at the record store and fights back immediately" only very loosely describes what actually happened. In the literal sense, that is exactly what Rollins seemed to think in the moment.
It's just a very confusing episode of a short, awkward social situation where something maybe happened, but then nothing happened, because a bunch of animals made some noises at each other and moved around. I don't like thinking of human beings like that. I don't see how I can look at this excerpt and think anything else.
I think this is the only youtube comment I’ve ever enjoyed in my entire life thank you
Just check that at no point he keeps quiet to listen. He tells everybody what is and what is not.
Ironically, he seems afraid to even for second show vulnerability, to be wrong. Shutting everybody off, he becoming completely self absorbed, full of himself.
@@barttylugo3053 Dude was rude to Narduwar. Fuck em.
I actually agree with you, This whole interaction has stayed with me. It's like a strange, thought provoking painting.
I thought the girl was more admiring him than “mocking” him. She could have been a fan that loved reading the book “get in the van”. It’s sad to see Rollins assume the worst immediately and making it awkward. (Then again, he probably deals with these people all the time and might be completely right too)
he is kind of paranoid and confrontational but interesting as hell and a total legend
1:59 Look at him parading the Iranian woman through the bar like a first place trophy he just won at the Virtue Bowl.
Look how uncomfortable she looks when Henry unsolicitedly yells her name and family history out at passing strangers.
"IT'S SHIRIN NESHAT EVERYBODY!".
self obsessed dickhead
Lop, I agree. Liberals often make these racist & inappropriate comments & I don't think they know they are perceived as such.
I think what he was trying to do was make them realize that they should be respectful and shut up and not yell out stupid phrases whilst they are trying to film something and have a conversation. Pointing out how she actually accomplished something is just a way to make them shut up.
@@herschelschueler true
You missed it. Big ole whiff. Its the East Village. Henry is aware.
1:28 henry goes into kill mode
The way he twists his head and look is funny as hell 😂😂
I'm not so sure the young women were mocking Rollins.
I'm not so sure they were either. Rollins assumed an awful lot and went in guns blazing.
He's historically defensive in interviews.
wouldn't you be?
Why should he be defensive in interviews? He is a well-known and loved part of American punk history.
Look @ the body of interviews he has on youtube he is an insane narcissist. Always reading way too far into situations too many cups of coffee. He is known for belittleing and screaming at his own fans. Although time has mellowed him a bit. This is Rollins true to form.
For someone so seemingly secure with himself he sure is insecure.
Seriously. He never got over it from when he used to be a skinny twerp I guess.
Paul Ainsile since when does rollins not seem insecure?
rodrigo sarpi lmao standin up to someone is one thing and goin full on asshole is another. any one who is confident wit him/herself knows how to handle a situation like this, man they prolly wont even gaf lmao while this guy goin all G.I. Joe on them hahaha
Listen to Rollins Band, he's incredibly insecure. But also has a massive ego. I don't even know how that works.
rodrigo sarpi - Listen to him describe what everyone else in the store allegedly thinks about him. 'They think I'm an old sell-out. They think I'm bourgeois.' And then he has to confront them, to condescend and put them in their place. He can't just walk away thinking 'I'm Henry Rollins. They are just a bunch of kids - whatever, doesn't matter what they think of me.' He's clearly bothered, he clearly cares what they think, and I would say, his comments and behavior are indicative of insecurity.
i cant help but notice he consistently interrupts and talks over his friend there to talk about himself, or about how impressive it is that he brought her there. it's like she's a decoration he's wearing
Yeah, sorry to say, Henry came off like a real asshole egomaniac in this one.
Henry rollins reminds me of that "omg it's Russell Crowe" bid on South park
Fiotin'round the world.
EnZo omg
Tugga!
rotflmfaooo
hahahahahaha
Seems like Rollins completely misjudged the situation. Looked to me like she was just starstruck and trying to show him she was familiar with and a fan of his work. Why would he assume she was mocking him? It's almost like he was waiting for anyone to say anything so he could do some comedy bit where he acts like he's an old man yelling at young hipsters.
Exactly. Looks like he really just wanted to hate them. Maybe they were elitists, and he's a very intelligent man, but he gives them zero chance for anything...
I feel like he just was joking
He might be suffering from what hip scientists now refer to as gelotophobia - the fear of being mocked. Everytime you hear someone laughing, you think it's about you. That's a shitty phobia to have if you're around people all the time.
Or he's just had prior experience with hipsters- his appraisal is usually pretty correct.
this might have been henry? lol
Henry rollins reminds me of Trevor from GTA. Just the way they both are, they have alot in common.
Dude, that's fucking hilarious and I agree with you!
I love the bit where Michael accuses trevor of being a hipster. It makes so much sense haha
***** Henry rollins is no hipster.
F The Law Crew lol never said he was
***** yeah i know but it sounded like it because i said they have alot in common. But being a hipster is not one of them.
I love the music & the work that Henry Rollins has done, I personally consider him one of the biggest heroes of my generation. With that said, it's clear that he has a social anxiety issue & I imagine that has made life painful & difficult for him. I have it too, so I kinda have an idea what it's like. It's just sad to watch somebody suffer, especially somebody you admire & respect.
Could someone with social anxiety really just go up to random people and confront them like he did like that?
@@ChrisM-bn5vr Logan’s saying that’s a coping mechanism. The “old in the way”, the “get in the van”, he’s feeling attacked. To be fair, it was a mocking tone. He just handled it poorly lol.
@@ChrisM-bn5vr nah, this is a 'be careful what you wish for' moment. She wanted attention, she was reciprocated a similar flavor of attention .
maybe it is not the most accurate diagnosis. He does feel attacked . A guy his age should have handled it differently. They were kids and I do not think they were up against him. But who knows how one's reaction would be in a situation like that@@ChrisM-bn5vr
For what it's worth, I think the behavior in the video did indicate she was mocking him. We can presume a friend told her Rollins was there, to which we hear her respond from the other room "HENRY ROLLINS IS HERE?!" in a deliberately conspicuous fashion, followed by group laughter. She clearly wanted him to hear that. The video cuts to some minutes later, and I think during that timespan if an idol of mine was at a record shop I frequent I'd perhaps make an approach, or respectfully wait to catch them on their way out. Instead during those several minutes, she saw her initial passive wisecrack didn't incite the reaction she had hoped for, so she made a second one yelling "Get in the van!" I think after that second remark Rollins decided to give her the reaction she sought. From there you can argue all day as to who won the ensuing verbal tiff, but I think if you objectively follow the whole interaction, regardless of your personal disposition you may have towards Henry or the hipster chick, she was pretty clearly talkin' some shit. And if she wasn't, she sucks at being a fan, because she sure made it seem like she was mocking him in another room but with the intention of him overhearing. The man is an icon, with an iconic temper. It makes sense. Who you think is in the right is another matter entirely.
I don't think you'd have to argue all day. It's plain to see that Rollins "won," in the sense that he accurately laid bare the East Village crowd.
I think you hit this situation spot on, good on you and I agree with you 100%. People don't take the time to analyze. The girl deliberately sought out to gain his attention whether it be from a snarky or fan standpoint she went about it the wrong way. I believe it was more on the snarky side after viewing it twice but I don't think she was trying to be all that mean. Rollins reaction was a little overboard but it's fucking Henry Rollins the guy is an intense dude who doesn't deal with bullshit very well. What do you expect.
Caden Pardo nailed it bro. Best comment on this whole page
Nathan Dufresne Yes, I think I hit the nail in the board too!
100%
She tried to be cool, but you can't just call out at Henry Rollins and then expect him to not be any kind of confrontational about it, even if you are being friendly. This was at Cakeshop on Ludlow St., an NYC neighborhood entirely destroyed by gentrification with a lot of fake people pretending to live in the hellhole it was when Henry first came to play around those parts.
"destroyed by gentrification" Last time I checked the neighborhood was still there and by your own admission the neighborhood was a "hellhole" prior to "gentrification". So in what meaningful sense was the neighborhood "destroyed"? Seems like if anything the neighborhood is a safer place to live.
Safer for vapid designer clothing stores and people who can pay outrageous rent. The neighborhood is gone my friend, with the tailors and the kosher delis. But yeah you're right the new neighborhood being safer. Enjoy.
I would've also accepted Fishtown and Northern Liberties in Philadelphia.
You are completely wrong. When Henry Rollins addressed disguised aggressor she quickly intimidated. Well done. And even being assaulted, Rollins limited itself to verbally answer her. See again.
@Mark Stouts Sounds like you don't know the meaning of the word Gentrification.

+StArBuRsT -Pretty sure she was being a sarcastic imbecile. I don't have any sympathy....
Greg Pasquier Henry's a big boy he can take it
True. He always handles himself....
it was a stupid thing to yell out, especially while a film is being made. I think what it is is that it's not as though these kids don't respect him or his music or look up to him, they've got the "too cool" to care thing going on. they're nervous and don't know how to behave...
Yeah they were definitely mocking him. I don't know why anyone thinks otherwise. This issue should be laid to rest because she is yelling stuff out while they are filming, which shows inherent disrespect. Because are they supposed to keep doing more takes or what?
Rollins is fucking cringeworthy here as much as I love the guy, but she was trying to provoke him. He could have ignored it but oh well. In general people don't like being summed up in a catchphrase, even famous ones.
"Hi Mr. Rollins, nice to see you here!"
Rollins: *tackles her* "I'LL FUCKING DESTROY YOUR LIFE YOU HIPSTER SCUM"
lol, he's such a drama queen
SolarEXtract pretty much
He has social anxiety and was on ridilyn for a few years of his childhood and I think that has something to do with it, the man is a legend
He has always come off as a cock head
He’s always been like that, although has a point but overact it too much as usual...
I think also when my best friend, get shoots in the face... I would never become a cool guy back

@@estebansteverincon7117 what he’s doing at the two minute mark is invoking this woman’s personal history and his care for her struggle to bolster his own ego and attempt to move away from any criticisms of him that the patrons may have, the way that he dropped her whole resume was so forced and honestly embarrassing, it really ought to make her feel good to be used as henry’s pawn for deflecting criticism
@@youngflygawdtherelentless2838 I guess that's one way to react to this situation. I take this as Henry trying to obviously demand a little respect for this woman and the work that she's doing. She's interviewing him and his simple presence is causing people to disrupt the production she's trying to get done. So he took it upon himself to confront that person and very quickly veer it back to it being her project and reminding people why they shouldnt be rude and heckle. Did he make a few incorrect assumptions? Yea! But I personally don't think his reaction was uncalled for or especially selfish for that matter. These people were being annoying and rude for an extended period of time and they ended up getting confronted for it.

Fred Rogers telling children "'You've made this day a special day by just your being you. There's no person in the whole world like you. And I like you just the way you are." is much more significant and profound than anything Henry Rollins has ever done.
@@nogoodbastid No, that's not a great quote, it's just something he said every day on the show and it's nice but it isn't nearly as significant and profound as many other things he said, and not even on the level of Rollins, so if you're trying to illustrate a comparison, try using an actual comparison of good examples instead of just blabbering the first thing that comes to mind and not offering any genuine comparison, so it's clear you don't know Rollins' material at all. You're making this day special by being an ignorant moron and I wish there weren't so many people like you.
This might be the best video ever. I love how he smiles when the Guy carrying a amp is passing. I can feel his thoughts
If you ever go to one of Henry’s shows and you get a chance to meet him, treat him as if you’re buying soup from the soup nazi. Don’t play and keep it short and sweet
My experience with the self-proclaimed punk and "scene" pseudo-intellectual kids in my town taught me they were the elitist, stuck-up, trendy ones and not those they labeled as such. They just followed different trends than mainstream pop, and as time has gone on, a lot of their stuff has become more mainstream. Twenty years ago these people would have scoffed at what people do on Facebook and they're right there going along with it.

@@guillermonaon7933 if you want more music similar to his, or even different styles but with that non-industry type feel (cause now its all industry plants or the most generic derivative stuff) theres a bunch of good artists, the problem is some of them basically started using what little clout they had to start a cult, and others are a bunch of creep losers. You kind of expect that from people that make music inspired by internet culture but NXP isn't just about edginess and internet, he's more about christianity and rejecting all the satanism and degeneracy of the industry
No wonder Henry Rollins has such good muscle definition, when his skin is literally that thin.
#NarcissisticInjury
I love HR but in this clip, he is very self-righteous in his contempt of what he feels is self-righteous people. "You can't condemn a judgmental person without becoming one." If you're always looking for a fight, you'll find it even if it's not there. I think (hope) he's lightened up over the years.
Oh yeah he definitely has. I actually can't stand his attitude here, but the more I see of his more recent appearances, the more charming and mellow he seems.
I could watch rollins interact with the world all day lmao
What you need to do is concentrate on your own self development rather than give energy to that clown
I mean, I don't know that store and what its like, but it seems a little bit much to say they are all hipsters in there. Also, Rollins seems mildly insane.
Ma ma mama/weer all crazee now
It was a place called the cake shop, it was dope as fuck. There was a bar, a record store, and a venue in one. It’s missed. Henry got weird
"We're just trying to hang out and there's a fuckin' film going on"
They were being rude intentionally and got the appropriate reaction.
maybe they were stoned. Who gives a shit. They spaz needs to chill out.
I saw him and his Rollins band at Finsbury Park a long time ago. It was like I was being shouted at for 40 minutes.
it's shows like this that make ARTE the best TV channel. the very best!
If they're so "hip" why are they playing Physical Graffiti? SNAP!
When she goes “you talk tattoo without her know she has tattoo” haha
i like the bit at the end when he informs her of his grammy winning book and tells her she'd love it. ugh.
He's real modest.
It's so hard to watch a grown man overreacting everytime he remember the times he was bullied.
lol not overreacting at all
If you think that's overreacting you seriously need to go hang out around more convenient stores, and restaurant kitchen's
It's hard to watch your shitty reading of the situation.
I think more importantly is that, supposing 1) he is really overreacting, and supposing 2) it's because he was bullied enough that this becomes the response he chooses every time,
but we're supposed to agree with your implicit assumption that this is entirely the fault of the one who was Bullied, and the first and all subsequent Bullies are to be... what, forgotten? Why _else_ would it be hard to watch-except in the same way it's hard to watch someone whose legs have been paralyzed try to walk, perhaps? Not to say that getting bullied as a child is the same _seriousness_ as any physical or mental impairment, but it is still an impairment. Does it make any more sense to talk about such an overreaction being "hard to watch," except in the same way it's hard to watch a combat veteran overreact to fireworks or unexpected physical touch?
Get in the limo, Rollins!
Henry came into the store with the mindset of "putting those trust fund babies in their place". It was a better concept than reality. This was just stupid. Looking for a fight, looking for his pet peeve. He was gonna do this regardless of who was in the store.
I agreed with you until the last sentence. He seemed overly defensive and ready to pounce. But, if no one started shit, he'd probably keep browsing then walk out. IMO, she got baited and took it hook, line and sinker.
No one "started shit". Again, it didn't matter who was in there, this video was getting made.
grasd2 Those chicks were probably heckling him. I generally don't yell someone's name and then laugh, and then yell their well known work at them from across the building because I respect them so much.
Alright. The video would've been made. It probably would've played out differently had those chicks decided to keep their mouths shut.
Am a fan of Mr Rollins but the young lady just shouted out the name of one of his works she recognised him big deal! he then went into defensive mode in an egotistical way dude needs to take a step back and chill the fcuk out and accept he is not the centre of the universe he was 45 in this clip I'm 50 right now no big deal I think he embarrassed himself on this occasion.
But that's just it---they hadn't done anything (yet). maybe they were going to heckle him, maybe they were not, but the did nothing but yell something friendly and nice at him. and he went off out of his own insecurity and narcissisim.
Henry Rollins isn't just a man, he's an emotion and way of life.
"Henry Rollins is here!"
"Here we go"
i don't get why a lot of folk commenting here are bashing henry rollins!! if the girl was genuinely a fan...... then why didn't she just approach him and say 'hello' etc instead of shouting stuff across the shop? 'hey, henry rollins is here', 'get in the van man' etc!! it definitely smacked of sarcasm........ the 'cool, quirky, tattooed chick who poked fun at henry rollins', something to boast about to other cool quirky tattooed trust fund kids!! granted, henry could've handled it better rather than go for the 'yeah yeah, poke fun at the cranky old guy who's in your little space'!! she was no fan...... it's really cringeworthy to watch her and her friend back pedaling to get out of that situation!! also, the excuse they gave for their behaviour? because he was filming in their space and they were trying to say he was invading their privacy!! strange...... the way they quirkify (i know, it's not a real word) themselves is obviously to draw attention, why else would you differentiate yourself from the rest of the herd if it's not to be noticed (narcissism)? anyway, they should've shown more respect...... henry rollins has done loads for the 'underground' and championed more 'indie' music than these 2 losers could ever imagine!!
I mean...she was kinda rude, if she went up to him and said "Hi Henry, loved "get in the van"" instead of just shouting across the room he might of reacted differently.
True but I think one has to cut some slack. If she was a fan she was probably just very excited, acted on impulse, and meant no harm nor insult. If anything this was a good learning experience for her when encountering the same situation from that point on.
She was clearly taunting him, she probably just wanted to get his attention though. He could have just ignored her.
"That's the name of a very famous book I wrote, where the audio book won a Grammy"
Never heard of it.
To be fai though, it is a fantastic read. Check the audiobook on CZcams
HENRY ROLLINS IS A MOTHER FUCKING GOD!
Wow, at first view I thought Henry overreacted and made too many assumptions. But then, as I watched it a 2nd and 3rd time I realized that everything he did was totally called for, it is just that we are not used to responding so instantaneously and directly. She was rude, then he was rude back. He was mad because they were not only laughing at him behind his back, but taking away from Shirin's video. Their true colors revealed themselves when she mentioned the name of her band. Whether his insults to the hipster were inaccurate or not, it makes no difference.
Gotta agree with you, seems like they did it on purpose. They were rude at least.
Dude I did another watch through and you’re absolutely right
@@sethsmith2497 yeah I love him he’s so real
I like how he reacted. Even if it was awkward for everyone including himself.
@@jimijamma6106 Even if it was awkward it was the most right thing to do most people out here live like things are all right in a fantasy when in reality people don’t have it like that things darker and people are actually dealing with real life things. Not no missing payments and no bullshit
They WERE actually heckling him! At first I did have the opinion that maybe Rollins was overreacting to an admiring fan, and then reading through the comments I considered the opposite argument that the girl was heckling him.
But if you analyze the video a few times, they really were heckling him.
The girl is in earshot of Rollins and the very second immediately after he says that the record store "caters to an elitist group of young people" ...the girl sarcastically hollered "Henry Rollins is here?!". and then as Rollins continues talking, she says "get in the van" at 1:15 and 1:17 , and then she can be heard louder saying "hey sweet tooth" ..."get in the van" twice again at 1:24 and 1:26.
And then when he confronts them on it they have the neck to try tell him he's being paranoid, they don't even have the balls to own what they said to him.
In reality these hipster girls took it personally when Rollins said the store
caters to an elitist group of young people. They also seem to be offended that Rollins is filming in "their" record store.
100%. It's clear to ANYONE with a modicum of experience with human interaction that the girls were dumb, elitist hipsters heckling him. The fact that anyone is debating this is frankly insane.
That girl was being dumb, but that doesn't make Henry's assumptions true. There's nothing "elitist" about making the wrong decisions after having a few drinks, and it's not a generational conflict either.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video.
3:15
Wipers' Youth Of America playing... One of the greatest punk rock records of all time.
pretty sure it was Melvins version though.
this is what an old punk does.
Was here last October.
So jealous of anyone that gets to live in this amazing city man.
Rollins always tells the story of how he met Black Sabbath and how they all embraced him with their warm nature. just imagine Iommi or Ozzy dealing with him the way he dealt with his admirers here. he's just so socially weird
He probably met them as colleagues, old hands in the music game. I would imagine him to be proper and deferential, unlike what prompted this exchange.
It's not him being "weird," it's him being a grandiose narcissist who thinks he's going to enlighten these "hipsters" he condescendingly assumes are beneath his highbrow intellectual prowess. He is ridiculous and needs to come back down to Earth because he's out of touch and really just an abrasive asshole to people who were being playful, which he took offense to because he's prone to narcissistic injury. He really just needs to pull the woke bug out of his ass and lighten up and stop assuming only his hand picked little projects could possibly represent a person who's suffered or enduring injustice.
@@G123. now I watched it again you might be right, him going "that's a famous audiobook I did which got a Grammy" etc. 10 years ago I never realized this was a particularly narcissist thing, more like the U.S. way of conversation or how people get to know each other, bragging a bit
@@escaton74 I like henry, make no mistake, but he's an autistic narcissist.
People really are missing the point here. It is obvious Henry is insecure, he has a large ego, that same ego got him famous! The famous fights when he was young was that ego! Guess what though, the negative energy that these girls were giving out is truly amazing. Here you have one girl that is inspired by him and the other end of the spectrum a couple girls who are laughing at him. It's cheap shots at someone who has spent his whole life trying to educate himself, keep himself in shape and trying to inspire others. I never would have done that, I would have given him a firm handshake and said thank you. He could have handled the situation better but in all honesty these girls were just trying to get a rise out of him.
Dean Kaufman I didn't hear anyone laughing at him...he seemed like he was on the defense the moment he walked in the store.
Dean Kaufman rollins knows he's a joke -- hence the reaction....
sempercompellis I agree completely.
Dean Kaufman Yep, but not the "rise" that they'd rather have. That "fan" was acting out with jealousy, by trying the old cooch block method, while he was patently there on a date. Dumb broad. I used to go out clubbing frequently when I was a Teen, and saw this kind of power play happen quite a lot. Always irked me.
Dean u are a hipster!
I like how that guy gave him his band's tape and like didn't mention it was his band until Henry asked Cx
1:28 Facial expression = "Someone's gonna die in 3 1/2 seconds."
For a dude with IMMENSE anger and rage, he handled it flawlessly
Handled it? He created it.
@@rickallen6378 Anger and rage? You mean profound undiagnosed and untreated Cluster B autism? And, yes, he created this confrontation himself.
The first part of this was edited, so his full commentary cannot be properly judged. But from what was given, it is obvious that they picked the fight with Henry because he came in with an obnoxious, boisterous attitude. He comes in and fills the room with his critical words and tone, and then he goes on to give a bullshit explanation for why he felt like he was being laughed at, which is why they finally yelled get in the van. He just made himself look like an ass clown. She even tells him he is being paranoid when he confronts them. It had nothing to do with his age, fame, or what he stands for.
This is what it seemed like it me. It seemed more like he was being condescending than anything.
Rollins has always seemed like a pretentious, self-righteous asshole to me.
How would they even hear him? He's in a different room and the girls were in a room with music blasting.
I'm currently reading "Get in the Van." I think it's one of the most crazy, fucked up, documentations of anyone who was ever in a rock band. In his youth Henry tried to act tough and cool all the time - he takes it seriously, and that's why it's so hilarious.
Fucked up in what sense? I haven't read it.
I mean that in the best way. The punk scene was still in it's infancy when he joined. They were playing basements and backwater clubs, that were pretty scary at the time. Just about every other show was shut down by the police, and they beat the fans up or vice versa. Then half the time the band was being beaten up by skin heads, or again - vice versa. People would go to the shows just to get into fights with the band, because they were bored or had nothing else to do. They would even get in fights with other bands. Henry would sometimes stab himself with glass, or cause himself pain just for the hell of it. Then he might just punch someone, just on a whim for no reason. Just because he felt like it. The band was constantly in and out of the hospital and in and out of jail. They were either in stitches or in hand cuffs, sometimes both.
As if that wasn't enough, they literally starved, in abject living conditions, constantly tired from driving and sleeping on the floor. Their van always broke down. They lived from second to second, and day to day. Henry lived this way for six years, but Greg Ginn was doing it years even before that. They had to sometimes sneak into restaurants and finish people's plates when they got up and left, because they didn't have any money for food. All for the glory of punk rock. That's a pretty fucked up way to tour. I know it can get worse, but most bands wouldn't even think about doing that today.
Being raised by a military father probably rubbed off on his sense of style and demeanor, too.
"sexual aids".
I'm sure it is.
One thing I've noticed in this video (and in the comments) is that hipsters totally lack respect for those that are older and wiser as if they're, forever, 16 years old.
Well said.
In all fairness, the girl he faced off with was definitely trying to disrespect him by shouting 'get in the van'.
jeb tweebance She knew his stuff, she was excited because he was there she was just trying to get his attention.
kidda74 nah i dont think so. she was trying to piss him off and when he stormed over you could tell she wasn't at all surprised by his reaction. so my guess is that it's exactly what she wanted.
***** what's that supposed to mean?
jeb tweebance So why would she shout get in the van? She even said she was a fan.....She wanted a reaction, but not that one :-/
+jeb tweebance can you explain to me what the significance of get in the van is? i know it's his autobiography but how is that making fun of him?
Henry is always true to himself. Henry has a movie out called "He Never Died". All I can say is WOW... It just came out at RedBox this week.
This was absolutely cringeworthy. Rollins really screwed the pooch
here. The kids weren't disrespectful, if anything they were surprised
by his presence. He then proceeded to go full asshole on them and white
knighted for his Persian date when it wasn't necessary. The hipsters
never insulted him or her. The end result is that he came across as a
bitter has been who can't get over the fact that his angry young man
schtick is passe. It's actually pretty pathetic tbh.
You said it perfectly.
Nailed it.
But to be fair, sometimes he's not a total dick and pretty relevant. Sometimes.
@@shredderly That's what makes this remarkable, is for all the time of thinking he's this chunk of impermeable granite based on his character as he's put it out there over the years, and then seeing how incredibly awkward he can be, it's like, 'yeah, no wonder he got into body-building if he has this much difficulty communicating with people'
I wouldn't go quite that far, but he did get defensive for no reason and act like an ass. But that is part of who he is
There had to have been a moment in 1982 when Rollins met some icon of the 60's and the scene where the roles where reversed.
Watch him meet John Lydon. Granted, Lydon is his own know-it-all grandiose narcissist. Such is punk rock. They both have autism, btw, Lydon and Rollins.
03:15 OMG, THE WIPERS! Youth Of America was a sick album
Were with the vipers
1:28 ENEMY SPOTTED
He really wasn't prepared to get old
"because you were talking tattoo without knowing she has tattoo"
Shirin Nashat is the winner of this video
She is honestly I hope she had fun even if she looked uncomfortable towards the end of this
well... those all people are just bunch of NPC. you can tell what they have, eat, or say just by looking at them
Tomas When I saw this comment it cut off the tail end of that sentence. Mentally, I thought to myself “Please don’t let this end in NPC”. Now I’m somebody who has genuinely wanted to kill themselves since like 11, and out of all the reasons I have amassed, your comment might just take the cake for the top one.
@@dumpstercub2902 great to know buddy :) but seriously speaking when you start conversation you can easily project what that person gonna say and react to all of your thoughts, how he is going to reply. There is no fun to create conversation these days
"you were talking tattoo without knowing she has tattoo" hahaha that pretty much sums up Henrys exchange. so basically he makes himself into what older people thought of him in the 80s.
Henry Rollins is the king hipster. "Better-than-you" attitude, only listens to indie, underground music and stops mid-sentence to think of a 10-character word to back up his intelligence. But I know people who say I'm a hipster and I proclaim hate for hipsters, which is apparently one of the most-common symptoms of Hipsteria, a symptom Rollins also shows. Put two hipsters in a room together and watch self-inflated egos clash. I'm a huge fan of Black Flag and Henry's spoken word, but I'm sure if he and I were to meet, one of us would conclude the other was a douchebag within a few minutes and a bitter bitchfest would ensue, since Rollins doesn't fight fans anymore and I don't carry the cajones to swing at the man who sang "Loose Nut".
I would love to see some proof that Henry "only listens to indie".....I find that hard to believe....
How is Henry Rollins a hipster....Some of his biggest heroes of all time are Iggy Pop and Ozzy Osbourne. If the majority of musicians you like are well known, rest assured you're not a fucking hipster.
***** That really was a lame comeback.
***** No it was really lamer who the heck disses someone for having a cartoon avatar?
***** That is a quick, one-minute sketch that a cashier at Taco Bell did, in exchange for a $5 donation to my local food bank, to feed local homeless. Does it offend you?
Never a dull moment...
This is the best Rollins interview
