Henry Rollins : ‘Get in the Van : On the Road with Black Flag’ (1994)
 Henry Rollins Spoken Word

An abridgement of his journals and reflections on first becoming a fan and then a member of Black Flag, Get in the Van: On the Road is an often fantastic and quite a hilarious peek into not only the past of Henry Rollins but that of American punk music across the nation. Though Rollins usually succeeds best with an audience to interact with, his low, steady intensity carries well through the disc, and in some respects all he has to do is let the story tell itself. If there’s a specific theme throughout, unsurprisingly, it’s about Rollins learning more about self-reliance while the band itself provides inspiration and a few lessons about life along the way — whether or not one agrees with them is up to the listener. But ultimately it’s all about the anecdotes, and the stories alone range from the humorous to the often frightening — the many tales about police abuse of punk audiences and bands are enough to make one want to carry off a slew of retrospective arrests on the boys in blue. But on the flip side, there are tales ranging from Rollins launching himself from a stage and ending up on top of Jello Biafra in the audience to wandering into a venue to find out who the Misfits cover band he was hearing was and encountering the Misfits themselves. Rollins praises Michael Stipe as an early friend and then flips it around to describe a show with Venom (and their self-described “black f*ckin’ metal!”) as being a case of having to suffer fools, not very gladly. Then there’s Ultravox and Midge Ure’s in-person dismissal of Black Flag as “dross” — but Rollins gets his revenge by mentioning Ure’s booties.

Henry Rollins : ‘Live at Luna Park’ (2004)

Tracklist :
 Henry Rollins Spoken Word

Two months of performances at the Hollywood nightclub Luna Park result in this dynamic collection of spoken word highlights. Henry Rollins was challenged to appear one night a week for two months and give a different performance each time – a lot of stories to tell when you realize that Henry has a reputation for regularly speaking for almost three hours a performance!

Henry Rollins : ‘Live at McCabe’s’ (1990)

 Henry Rollins Spoken Word

This record contains some of the most intense stories you’ve heard Rollins tell. Stories about the difficulty of dealing with sex when you’re young, the vaccuum that forms for some people who find themselves with no one they can talk to on a personal level.

There is some humor on this record, most notably “Misunderstanding”, which describes one of Rollins’ many culture-clash experiences. “Travel Tips” is another tough one; although told with humor, it makes you feel bad for the young Henry, a kid with boundless energy and no one in his family willing to help him work it out or deal with him like he was a human being.

Henry came out of it OK, and we his listeners are the winners; every record he releases shares a little bit more of experience and life with us.

Henry Rollins : ‘Live at the Westbeth Theatre’ (2004)
 Henry Rollins Spoken Word

Rollins shares more tales of his rock’n'roll life, including a visit to an LA club to attend a Ratt reunion show. Rollins also shares with the crowd his anxieties about having recently turned 40, and what the future might hold for this “aging alternative icon.” Westbeth Theater is yet another example of Rollins’ stellar story-telling ability and should amuse even those who are not familiar with Rollins or any of his previous work.

Henry Rollins : “Nights Behind the Tree Line” (2004)
 Henry Rollins Spoken Word

A WARNING TO PEOPLE WHO ARE INTERESTED IN THIS ALBUM!!! This is not like Henry’s comedy spoken word albums. This album is very serious, and very intense. Anyone who knows Black Coffee Blues will be more prepared to listen to this.
On Nights Behind the Tree Line, Henry reads some passages from his excellent book “Solipsist” and also gives many other tracks that have never been released. Everything on this album is very intense and this album shows a whole new dimension to Henry. One particular track that highlights Henry’s knowledge is “Parthenope”. Parthenope was a siren in the story of Ulysses, and the way he weaves her into the story is magnificent. Among the most heavily sad and touching tracks are Johnny Hartman, Maya, Accident, and Polaroid. “visiting los angeles” actually has some humor injected into it, however it is very dark humor and still carries the heavy intensity of the other tracks.

Henry Rollins : “The Boxed Life” (1993)
 Henry Rollins Spoken Word

It’s Henry Rollins as standup comedian! Airport gags and all! He’s good at it, too, and this two-disc “talking record” is far more enlightening and entertaining than his angry poetry or his hard-rock histrionics. After all, how many times can he scream about his pain before we all get a little numb? On The Boxed Life (which refers to an endless string of hotel rooms, dressing rooms, and waiting rooms on the road), Rollins eases up and lets fans in on the joke–taking the happy campers in the live audience on hilarious side trips through his teenage career in animal husbandry (”Strength”), his tortured sense of humor (”Funny Guy”), and his low-down life in countless bars (”Blues”).

Henry Rollins : “Think Tank” (1998)
 Henry Rollins Spoken Word
For his DreamWorks debut, spoken-word artiste Henry Rollins turns the funny-dude charm way up on 13 jocular monologues. Recorded live at 1997 and 1998 gigs in Chicago and Australia, Think Tank presents a far lighter side than Rollins previously has recorded. He shows another side here, one different from the counterculture icon–the guy with so much pain, he had to tattoo it all over his body and scream it out through rad punk tunes as the human throat for Black Flag and the Rollins Band–and, surprisingly, the lighter Rollins isn’t Rollins Lite. The performer has found his ultimate calling as a caring but angry über-punk who’s on your side in the fight against evil. Channeling his rage into prosaic humor, Rollins details the really big problems of life (homophobia, lyrics to Journey songs, racism, vegetarians) and small everyday bummers (the cast of Friends, idiots everywhere, fax machines) alongside detailed postcards from the rock-star life.
