    You've obviously never heard his version of "'Twas the Night Before Christmas". Oh wait, maybe you have :)

    now don't be mean!
    but yes,
    I've been to one of his stand ups, and I have to say, he would be great to go to the pub with for a few drinks, I could listen to him talk all night! ;)

    Eh, unless I'm mistaken, "My War" is a Black Flag song. Black Flag was Henry Rollins previous band, no?

    No music collection is complete wthout Black Flag - Damaged and Rollins band - Weight.

    Weight for me, is one of the best albums ever made.

    His spoken word gigs are great too but as a frontman for Black Flag, he was unbeatable.

    Rollins Band live is a very enjoyable experience. The later Rollins Band albums may not be as good as the older stuff but the legend of Black Flag will live on. Oh and anyone who hasn't read "Get In The Van" really needs to.

    Agreed John2 - Get in the van is still the best account of life on the road. Anyone who has ever gone on tour will identify with it and anyone who has any kind of intrest in that way of life will be amazed by the book.

    For the record, try out Black Coffee Blues. Frikkin' excellent book.

    But steer clear of Eye Scream or whatever it's called, a very scary testosterone driven rant
