Rollins was good in Black Flag and early Rollins Band. After 'Weight' it all went seriously downhill. Even his spoken word is recently unfunny and rambling, and lacking consistant 'truth' from show to show (meaning most stories are probably made up or massively exaggerated).
Balances his massive ego, self-righteousness, selfpromoting and self-appointingness with being quite a cool guy.
He hates soul-less-ness in music, his rants against the rich musicians like U2 are spot-on, he seems to keep going at it, without really selling out (some argue he had long ago).
Has no time for his fans.
Also annoyingly says he 'loves work'. I'd love your job Henry. Do you want to swap? Let's see if you'd 'love work' then.
On top of the gripes, he is one of the 'straightest' performers in the media, and that is a good thing.

Fan: "Hey Henry, can I have your autograph?"
Henry Rollins: "Fuck off kid! I'm only friendly on stage."

Get the henry rollins mug.A grassy little village situated in between Prenton and Arrowe Park, that is populated by Chavs, Vermin, Dolites, and the general ilk that is coming to identify Britain of the 21st Century. The estate was built after it was bombed during World War 2, it is currently required a second bombing to wipe out the lowest common denominator, who take luxury in destroying other people's property and set fire to wheelie bins, just to prove who the Alpha Male* is. The parents are unaware, or totally oblivious of what little John Alex, or Tania Ann is doing. It is a mere bus ride away from Birkenhead.
* Alpha Male in the Chav circle can also be identified by his underlying insecurities, tiny wrists, inverted penis, and hairy tongue. He is the first to get hit, and knocked out, if he ever encounters and violence. Usually by his father.

Get the Woodchurch mug.'Radical' guitarist with Rage Against The Machine.
Used the guitar as a 'sampler', in that he could make it go 'woo woo' like a siren. Then proceded to use pedals and feedback to make pretty unimpressive noises.
Wore a cap that said 'Commie', which juxtaposed with the millions of dollar he earnt from three albums etc with RATM. His comments that his band signed to Epic was because they wanted to destroy the machine from the inside, was obviously very naive bullshit.
Now with a very bland, unadventurous, Middle Of The Road band called Audioslave.
Tom ruled on the first RATM album, what he was doing was unheard of before, even the follow up was incredibly different.
Used long words in interviews to sound intellegent.

Get the tom morrello mug.Actor most famous for his role as David Vincent in The Invaders, a science fiction, two season serial filmed in the 1960's. Featured in several films afterwards, most recently appearing in episodes on The X Files, the seemingly unrelated remake of The Invaders starring Scott Bakula, and several films since.
Is currently interested in a proper remake of The Invaders series.

Get the Roy Thinnes mug.The name given to a person (mainly a girl) who decides to become celibate - this then applies for the time being, while she is shagging people on the side - she is a born again virgin, because she doesn't want to shag her boyfriend.
Born Again Virgin mainly given to slightly ropey females who are moving onto more shags - possibly abused when younger

Get the born again virgin mug.Short, balding, rat-like, and as proven from the recent camera phone 'porn' video, hung like a gerbil.
Got into the scene for the money, thanks to a leg up by Korn, proceded to make music which is only good while drunk and 16.
Was made 'CEO' of Interscope - his obvious lack of any management skills meant this was 'honourary' to promote the label, and Durst likely to have absolutely no control over company decisions - apart from maybe being A&R and a scout for other party/sport/nu-metal bands that appeared for a few seconds.
Likened to Kid Rock, Tommy Lee and Vanilla Ice in that they all have absolutely no talent, and jumped on the Nu-Metal band wagon, and now all sorely regret it as they no longer have a reputation.

Get the fred durst mug.Singer who found fame in Faith No More. Later used his fame to boost Mr Bungle (who were an excellent, excellent band), but never received the attention they deserved.
Quit Faith No More, and then quit Mr Bungle, and now makes a lot of tepid music under different monikers.
Embarressed by the fact he blatantly copied Anthony Kiedis, even though he was light years ahead in terms of talent and originality, and his dress sense in the early 90's late 80's, and his part in the 'funk metal' scene, and the fact Faith No More are called the Godfather's of Nu-Metal.
Also slightly embarressed by his typical late teen/early twenties' adventures. Now pushing his thinning career into cult (shit) films roles.
