I know, I just love his voice, and.........
Well pretty much everything about him actually
So much better of a frontman

Yeah

I always get a little irked by the purist hardcore fans who dislike Rollins, and the "metal" era of the band. If Keith Morris had still been vocalist at the time, then Damaged would not have been half as good as it is. Rollins brought a whole lot of charisma, direction and consistency to the band. He's the man.

here's a rather funny video of some douchebag (but nice enough) kid interviewing the band, which basicaly becomes Rollins ranting about him.

YouTube - Early Henry Rollins / Black Flag Interview!!!

edit: i will also say that Kira is VERY cute in this video.

Yes my hardcore friends always give him sh1t. The first time I saw Henry Rollins was on TV and I thought he was a football player because of his build. Kira is kind of hot, but then again any girl that plays an instrument is.

If I was female, I would definitely want to marry Henry Rollins.

The guy is just fantastic.

Could you meet his standards?

How old is Henry? He has an awesome fashion sense, considering he's anti fashion plain clothes no logos.

Henry Rollins is 47. I've always found it hard to compare the different eras because of the varying outputs and how long each vocalist was in the band but I think overall Keith Morris is my favorite. But as far as Rollins goes My War>Damaged.

Ron (chavo pederasta) Reyes and his rat tail......made me sooo hot

radio interview 1984, Kira Roessler speaks... Bill Stevenson sounds like he's taken one too many bottles to the head

actually, I haven't. I'm certain that it is the ONLY Black Flag release I've not heard. I even have bootlegs of some of their shows, and still haven't got that for some reason. I kept meaning to get it for an age, but I kind of stopped listening to Black Flag and similar music so never did. I'll need to get that sometime.

It is perhaps unfair to compare. I like Keith Morris's work with Black Flag, but the guy would never have been able to carry the band in the same manner as Rollins did later on. Even though Ginn was undoubtedly the main player in the band, Rollins was the most notorious and was the face. And was brilliant at that. Morris was a loser, and I was never into the Circle Jerks much either. He did have his time with Black Flag though, and some of their best work was with Keith on vocals.

Side 2 of My War has some of my favourite Black Flag songs.

haha indeed, he sounds like there's a screw loose there.

In My Head (1986) is a masterpiece. It's such a shame they broke up, they were on a roll
