      Am I to assume he's over with touring music?

    • I'm confused as to how they are going to fit the entire set for Full Metal Challenge into these venues. Or is it a Fort Boyard tour?
      Yeah man, Henry Rollins has got mad integrity.

      C'mon it's Rollins not Ian MacKaye! I think he always played up to his ridiculous image. I vote DUDE.

      what do you mean exactly?
      where does punk rock come into the equation?
    •  Tino InsanaTino Insana
    • Brant Bjork called his latest album Punk Rock Guilt after Josh Homme made an off-hand comment (which I suppose you could say I just did, heh) about him, saying that he would make the rest of Kyuss feel guilty of not being underground or punk if they liked something that wasn't 100% underground integrity.

      I thought it applied here. So what if he presented a couple of TV shows? He's a still a great entertainer, you don't have to like everything he's ever done. I wouldn't personally watch any of the TV rubbish he's done, but I'll sure as hell try and catch his stand up show and listen to My War. Sorry for the rant.

      Jen; what's up with quoting Keenan and chuffin' Kel, utter crap

    • Ok I understand what you mean pal.
      Personally I think everything he's ever done is crap be it underground , mainstream , channel 5 or whatever.
      I don't see what the big hype is about him. He's not as intellectual or witty as he / his fans seem to think he is , he wasn't the best singer in Black Flag ( who are also nauseatingly overrated as a band ) and I didn't enjoy any of the stuff they wrote with him in the band.
      But that's just like my opinion dude

      Heh, fair play
    •  noonenoone
    • but if I had a choice of being stuck in a lift with Rollins or Mackaye I'd choose Henry over that boring wing-nut any day of the week.

      I love Henry Rollins but I never quite understood why some of his hardcore fans put him down as some sort of genius. He’s very entertaining but intellectual? Oooh, nah.

      I’m surprised the whole spoken word thing hasn’t taken off for other people too. Imagine going to see Lemmy or David Lee Roth just chatting about the hilarious scrapes they’ve got themselves into, there must be a few quid in that surely?

      Anyway got my ticket for Cardiff so I’m happy.
