Who is Henry Rollins

Ranked #11,569 in Culture & Society, #231,060 overall

Henry Rollins

Henry Rollins is an actor, an author, a singer / songwriter, a Punk Rock Icon, and above it all, a really down to earth good guy who'd give you the shirt off his back (or sell you one from his backpack) especially if you have a really old cut up, sweat stained, stomped on, Social Distortion shirt to trade for it. I have been a fan of Henry Rollins for 20 plus years. It started way back in my punk rock days when skateboarding, going to shows, and slam-dancing ruled over everything else. At the time Henry was the front man for Black Flag. In fact my first tattoo was the four bars, done with a homemade tattoo gun, I did when I was 15. I never got to see Black Flag live in concert, as they broke up in 1986 and I was I mere 14, but I have seen and met Henry Rollins on several occasions both rockin out in nothing but his spandex shorts, and doing spoken word, which is great by the way, if you get a chance, check it out.

A few of Henry Rollins Books

Henry Rollins Started his own publishing company, 21361, and has released a countless number of books. If anyone knows where to get a Complete list of Henry Rollins books drop me a line in the guestbook, I have several that I can't find listed online anywhere; Knife Street, 1000 Ways to Die, See a Grown Man Cry, to name a few, so curious to see what all is out there. Here's a few that are still available for sure.

Rollins Band Disography - What's your Favorite Rollins Band Album?

Henry Rollins has been screaming his uncompromising, intense vocals for punk bands (S.O.A. and Blackflag) since he was teenager. Rollins Band was started in 1987 and Henry Rollins wanted total responsiblity and ownership unlike his previous bands where he was just one member, albeit a singer / songwriter / frontman, amongst the group, hence the new band name... Rollins Band. Below is Rollins Band's Discography, where you can click any of the images to purchase the CD, or simply cast your vote for your favorite Rollins Band Album by clicking the little arrows.
