That ending was incredible. The kid steals the mic and henry just lets him, he gets tackled a fight breaks out over the mic and henry goes to the other mic to finish the song. Anarchy in action indeed.

justplainpossum Henry was a huge fan from DC who would drive to NYC to watch them a couple times. The last he saw them there, he asked if they could play “Clocked In” real quick because he had to leave to go to work, and instead of just playing it they gave him the mic and allowed him to sing it. Then he left to make the long drive back to DC before work started. A few days later they called him and asked if he would like to audition as Dez (the singer at the time) wanted to play guitar instead. He auditioned and was hired. Went back home, quit his job, and moved to California to join his favorite band of all time.

1982 Henry as for me was top form, how this dude hammered and put so much milage on his voice with lack of sleep and exhausting tour schedules with no such thing as a sick day and still had the range and power he had was beyond me

The most incredible part of all of this is how Henry Rollins could have the nerve to criticize ANY other musician EVER!

Henry is lucky that the kid that got the microphone didn’t end up being offered the job of singer afterwards. That would have been ironic for him.

This is History!!!!!! All you Hot Topic People????

Henry. 1 of the first Hardcore archetypes still mimicked today. Completely different guy today. Still can't deny his contributions to the early developing hardcore scene.

Now that's fucking BLACK FLAG hell yeah 👍👍

Black Flag IMO, the greatest punk/hc band ever. From 81-84, nobody put out the amount of material at that quality, nobody trailblazed and opened doors like BF. "Moshing" is a metal term. It was "slamdancing" until east coast metal copied it and f'ed it all up. Originated in Huntington Beach, originally called the "HB Strut".

She had no business being up there in the first place. If she's not going to dance, then she shouldn't get up there just strutting back and forth with her long hair. She jumped up before the music had grabbed hold of her; she wasn't a punk, probably not even a fan, just some petulant brat trying to take over the stage. The first thing I thought was, what is she doing up there? And by the way, Dez was always a gentleman! Henry would probably have dropped-kicked her butt into the pit.
