Henry Rollins on Bono, Sting and the Spice Girls

A Howard Stern Show excerpt from 2001. I do not own this video. It was uploaded just for entertaining purposes.

"The drummer can't drum, the bass player can't play and the guitar player has one riff"

I'm glad he said The Spice Girls were fun because they didn't try to be a groundbreaking group, but entertainers.

Why are people getting angry at the angry punk for being angry?

Apparently Brooke Shields is super down to earth and even was cool with South Park when they made fun of her. With all she went through as a kid, it’s a miracle she came out well adjusted.

“Irritated? I would like to see his life shortened “.😂

[curtconroy]

A Young Rollins was the pinnacle of Aggro. He’s much more tolerant now. ( I’ve always enjoyed his rants, writings. He’s an original)

When Bono heard that Henry Rollins dissed him, he said “who?”

[Kirkvanhouten]

I'm a drummer. A 'chops' drummer. Love all the technical players in history. Larry Mullen is one of my favorite drummers of all time

This full interview was one of my favorite interviews ever. It really shows how willing rollins is to change his opinion and admit he could be wrong if he was wrong. What i mean is, rollins came into the stern compound that day in a very defensive way, but once he got in the studio and talked to howard for a few minutes, he dropped lowered his guard because he saw that stern wasn’t this “horrible monster” that he was made out to be. Rollins lightened up and was even man enough to admit he thought stern was gonna be an ass, and i really admire that in a person. I like when people are truly un-biased and aren’t attached to an idea. This was a great interview and i wish the whole thing was available on youtube again. The whole thing used to be but it got taken down since

Henry's street cred depends on him being provocative, and speaking his mind, and u2, are the perfect target for him. An easy target. But in the end it's just his opinion.

[hughiedgar]

Under a Blood Red Sky is a decent live album, but Henry's description of U2's modern stuff as "adult oriented crap" is absolutely spot on.

The Don Rickles of Pop music and trendy poetry.

“Clenches teeth” well I’m enjoying life too

[charlesloomis]

Rollins is great! I like the Spice Girls…they are fun.

[Toadspring]

during this time period Henry Rollins could have done a guest spot on Friends as Joeys long lost brother

[jacksafact]

Henry where are you now? Asking for a friend.

[iamdevilboy]

Henry Rollins is brutally honest and has no filters whatsoever, he doesn’t give a shit, he’s going to be sincere about what he likes and doesn’t like.

[disgracelandpod]

Remember when artists weren’t afraid to be critical? That said, as much as I love this and as much as I love Rollins, he is doing a schtick.

[PeterMasalski]

I agree with the Bono part, but Sting has really grown and developed into a fine musician.
