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.
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.
