As someone who likes a lot of punk and some hardcore, I will never understand the appeal of Henry Rollins. Overrated musician, overrated human being.

- joekrill 8y agoWow. I mean, I like a lot of punk and hardcore, too. I was never a huge Rollins fan in that I idolized the guy or anyhing, but I was never NOT a fan. I mean how can you not respect the guy? Black Flag is iconic. Rollins himself, as far as I'm aware, is a stand-up guy, true to himself, no bullshit dude. What, exactly, is overrated about him?
- anm89 8y agoI guess I'll qualify that and say I don't think Black Flag is a bad band I've just never heard anything from them that I really loved either and that's in a genre I'd say I'm pretty predisposed to liking. But really he just comes off as one of the smuggest people to me which I find to be a really obnoxious trait. Like every interview with him feels like he has to go out of the way to make the interviewer feel like his time is being wasted when in reality he seems to like being interviewed as he spends a lot of time in front of cameras. To each their own. I certainly don't fault anyone else for liking him or Black Flag and there's certainly a lot worse music out there but he just always rubbed me the wrong way.
- kdtsh 8y agoThat’s cool dude. I love Black Flag and Rollins Band, and I reckon his spoken word is entertaining. You do you.
