Okay, I am going to pull some strings and get the interview with Henry for T-Nation. It just so happens that Harley Flannagan, founder of the legendary NYC hardcore band “The Cro-Mags” is a friend of mine and he is good friends with Henry. In fact he did the theme song for my latest DVD (Harley that is not Henry). I am busy but will see what I can do.

Every time I read that article I get chills; that’s an amazing story of what weights can do for you.
Stay strong
MR
i have all his books and cd’s signed and i have meet him anuff in 3 states he remembers me. and i agree people should do more overhead lifts like olden days strogmen did. but after it was taken from the olympics it lost it’s popularity.
i would love an interview here or a section of them. you never hear ppl ask him about how he lifts they just say wow ur 45 and still a beast.
and for who ever said they didnt like lifting to Rollins you need the live in Austriala and Italy cd’s. brutal shit
All this talk of Henry Rollins got me thinking about getting some of his music - any pointers on where to start? Classic albums of his you’d reccomend? Cheers.
Black Flag - Damaged. Good place to start. Also, Nervous Breakdown, My War, Live in '84.
Easily said, the first music ever created to mosh to was Black Flag and Minor Threat.
As far as the Rollins Band, never listened to them as much. But I have heard some songs off of Get Some Go Again, Weight, and Nice.
Get all of them, personal highlights include: ‘Get Some Go Again’, ‘The End of Silence’, ‘Weight’.
The earlier stuff is darker, but it’s all great, no BS, just hardcore stuff.
I remember watching a video way back about the original Lollapalooza Tour in 1991 that Henry played with The Rollins Band. They were interviewing some band that played before The Rollins Band, and they were saying that the stage was constructed of steel plates and that it was like 101 degrees outside that day. They were sayig the steel stage was so hot that it was burning their feet through their boots. Then they finish their set and get off stage and the Rollins Band goes on and there is Henry plaing the entire set in freakin’ BARE FEET!!
Total T-Man all the way!!
