Also, probably dull the blade by trying to use it as a prybar, shovel... using big rocks as a cutting board like the blurry cunts on Naked and afraid. If that machete is more than a day old it won’t cut room temperature butter.
I give people like Steve O more credit than Rollins. The jackass dudes were a bunch of kids on drugs when they made there money. Rollins has been able to make money during 4 decades. He doesn’t even have to worry about paying bills now.
There are more than 1000 other activities he could take part in that most retirees do. My father travels and hikes in various areas around the country. He doesn’t do lame standup specials any of the 20 something woke bitches could have done for him.
I've never understood his spoken word thing. Most of what he says during his shows are some desperate attempt at humor, yet he refuses to write jokes. So he just goes up there and tries to be funny while simultaneously trying not to be a stand up comedian. And whenever they show the audience it seems like they're supportive of his efforts because he's struggling and trying so hard to be funny and failing. I guess it's his massive, inflated ego and delusional self image of being hardcore and 'dark' that makes him think he's above being a stand up comedian. Or he's just not funny. Or both. I have no idea but it's very painful to watch for even 30 seconds.
So he just goes up there and tries to be funny while simultaneously trying not to be a stand up comedian.
I watched another clip of this terrible special on YouTube & some faggot fan boy in the comments addressed what you described except placing Rollins above actual comedians because he "speaks truth to power" or some gay shit.
it's pretty much impossible for a comedian to be a "cool guy" on stage. cool guys aren't funny and is the reason people like dane cook don't last. henry isn't cool either but he thinks he's too cool to be funny and the result is this trailer.
heard some interview where he was asked if he would describe himself as a comedian & he scoffed & said something like “what, am i up there telling ‘girlfriend jokes’?” even worse. just gay forceful humorless speaking. “spoken word” as a genre is horseshit. similarly annoying as slam poetry
He lives in a very fortunate realm where he can make a living by simply talking to people who want to hear him and who like him regardless of what he says. The best part about being a “spoken word artist” is that he can try to tell jokes but if they bomb its permissible and isn’t a poor reflection of his talent because he’s just doing spoken word anyway! It’s stand up comedy but much more cowardly because he doesn’t have to be held responsible for shitty writing.
Rollins started doing his "spoken word" stuff way back in the early 80's. He was actually "writing" at the time and telling short stories on stage. From about 1985-91, he was talking a lot of his life and his role in Black Flag and most of it WAS NOT funny but very, very good. He was an angry, tired, pissed off 20-something guy who was basically homeless. If you can find it, listen to "Boy on the Train".
My opinion of his "spoken word" changed in the early 2000's where about 70% percent of his material became too topical and less personal. I can't remember a guy who spent more time bashing George W. Bush than Rollins. For a guy who had a pretty interesting life, i found lot of his material not all that engaging.
I really like Henry Rollins, and I know I'm not being fair, but he just doesn't have the edge he once had.
It's not that he doesn't think he's above a comic, it's that he knows he couldn't cut it as one and doesn't want to be judged by their standards when he bombs. Calling it spoken word is a cover for criticism, since he can always fall back on, "I'm not a comedian. It's not supposed to be funny."
Wonder how he feels not having any security everywhere he goes. Bet he thinks he's just so god damn tough he doesn't need any, not that nobody gives a fuck about anything "socially convicting" he says or feels emotionally hurt by a stressed out midget with carnival tattoos.
I thought you guys were hamming up his woke feminist bullshit but good God, what a pandering hack faggot. And he's clearly gay or asexual so why is he even doing it? Women running things? Yeah right. What if they get their period? Then what? Checkmate, Rollins. You no neck having cocksucker.
Yeah, I thought we were just hazing this faggot for good fun. But this is more liberal SJW bullshit than I've ever seen on a stage attempting "comedy". This guy has gotsta get got! Time to sick the dogs of war on this former tough, now muscle wasting faggot. Funny that since he's gone this route he's stopped working out and looks frail as an Antifa member.
I don't think he's gay or asexual. I knew a dude who reminded me of Rollins in almost every way (except for the bands or the fame), and mutiple chicks I knew that fucked him said he had a weird little micropenis. I'd lay down money that from his personality to his posturing to his pandering, it's all shaped by tiny dick syndrome.
That montague of jump cuts at the end really encapsulates the essence of this zany midget. I never would have guessed the striking similarities with Norton and Rollins on a stage until now. It's infuriating, and thank you for bring it to our attention.
Holy fucking shit.... That's an open mic hack that's not fit to grace the stage. Seriously where are the fucking jokes? Those are just faggot SJW opinions told with Joe Rogan enthusiasm. We need to go at this fuck harder.
Men who have that high of an opinion of women haven't spent enough time around them. When women do that "girls rule/girl power" bullshit, they're just trying to overcompensate for their own feelings of inadequacy. They know it's not true because they hate other women. When a guy does it, he's either trying to get laid or is completely clueless. Since Henry's a fag, I'm guessing it's the 2nd.
I’ve listened to his spoken word albums in the past. There were some cool stories and he had a dark sense of humor. Now he’s this weird version of an SJW. I couldn’t listen to more than three minutes of this.

Still funnier than Jim Norton

I just feel like all of Jim's acts are an interiew with a friendly sex offender. It's a tiring predictable bit.

Not nearly as flailing or bug-eyed, though. I’d TELL you if he wasn’t.

If a woman killed me with a machete. I promise you, my dying word would be "Cunt".

A woman would drop the machete every time she tried to swing it.

Stand up is the last resort of the attention whore.
When you run out of other options, it's time to start educating the masses about your unique perspective.

The start and the finish line are both in a parking lot.
Get it? He likes anonymous gay sex is what I'm saying.
