Available for the first time on DVD! / DVD-5 - Approx time: 83 minutes. Includes the special feature: "Pump With A Chump." It was December 1996. I had come to the end of a run of 78 shows. I figured it was time to make another video since it had been awhile and I had a lot of new material. We booked two nights at this great looking theater is Los Angeles called The El Rey. we brought in Modi to direct as we had on Talking Form the Box. There were two shows, on December 6 and 7. The crowd was great and a good time was had by all. I hope you get a kick out of this video. I know I had a blast at the show. -- Henry Rollins NTSC All Regions

The 50 DVD has made its arrival to our site after being sold on tour only for most of this year. The DVD is a live performance of me at the National Geographic Theater in Washington DC on February 13th, 2011, when I turned fifty. Ian MacKaye introduces me and I take it from there. It was a good night in a good theater with a fantastic audience. One of the parts I like about it is that we did some non performance footage of me going back to some of my old haunts in DC like the classic venue Madams Organ as well as a tour through my old job that I left in 1981. We are very happy to be able to bring this to all of you who were not able to go to the tour and pick it up there. -- Henry

Henry has more than ever to rant about in this performance from the Shock & Awe tour, its title irreverently inspired by George Bush's early predictions of the Iraqi War's impact. With all the ferocious energy he's so known for, Rollins scathingly draws observations from his recent USO tours in Afghanistan and Iraq. He also tears across the American political and cultural landscape and ventures into more personal territory, talking about his eclectic career from music to books to TV and film, sharing his fascinating insights from traveling the world and revealing his hilariously unsuccessful search for love. Also includes a gallery of photos Henry took on his USO tour in Afghanistan. NTSC All Regions

In May 2005, I made my 26th trip to Australia for some talking shows. The first three dates were in Sydney. We rolled film on the performances and some post-show interviews as well. This DVD is what made the final cut. The Sydney dates were 44-46 of the 119 tour dates that made up the 25 Years Of Bullshit Tour which took in 11 countries from January to December 2005. I always have a great time in this beautiful country and have recorded live albums here both with the band and on my own but this is the first DVD effort. I hope you like it. Thanks for showing up. --Henry Rollins Recorded at the York Theater, Sydney, Australia. NTSC Region Free / DVD-9

Live at Luna Park brings together two month's worth of speaking performances at the Hollywood, California nightclub Luna Park in March and April of 1999. The challenge was for Henry to appear one night a week for two months and give a different spoken word performance every time. That's a lot of stories to tell when you realize that Henry has a reputation for regularly speaking for almost 3 hours a performance! What we've done is put together the 'best of' Henry Rollin's Luna Park spoken word shows for you here on this DVD. Hope you enjoy it! Region 1 Encoded

Before the Chop compiles the first one hundred pieces I wrote for the Weekly and also includes the feature interview I did with Nick Cave when Grinderman II came out. For reasons of space, the Weekly must often slightly truncate the pieces and also sees fit to change the name of the piece. So, what you read there isn’t always what I sent them. This is one of the reasons I wanted to put this book out. Also, knowing there are a lot of people out there without the time to go to some website and read something every week, I thought it would be a good idea to have the articles all in one place. I hope you enjoy the book and thank you. - Henry

Welcome back to the mouth that never shuts. The second night at the Enmore Theater. More stories, bile and ranting diatribes from your graying, limping philosophic misanthropic curmudgeon. In case you didn't read the liner notes from volume one of this set, your patronage of this two-CD set just liberated a dollar to Hollygrove in Los Angeles, CA (a home for abused and neglected children, www.hollygrove.org . Nice one! I like this two CDs for ten bucks deal. You never know, there may be more of this kind of thing coming. Stay tuned and thanks for checking me out. -- Henry Rollins

A Mad Dash picks up where 2007’s A Preferred Blur left off. A seemingly endless stream of words, one after another, details his travels all over the world, over one hundred performances and the shooting of five documentaries. The book goes right to the end, only stopping at the last page. Henry Rollins is still writing himself into obscurity and from the looks of this book, he’s almost there! This self-published punk is criminally implicated in several books that bear his name. Someone should have a word with him about that. This back cover blurb is not the first time he has written in third-person singular. Thank you. -– Henry Rollins Note: Autographed copies are SOLD OUT.

Welcome to the re-issue of my first attempts at a talking record release. For the re-release of Big Ugly Mouth, I figured I would embarrass myself totally and include my first ever talking release Short Walk On a Long Pier. It was initially a cassette only release and it took all the money I had. Later, a short run was made on LP in Canada and then it went out of print. So here it is again, first time on CD. It’s just awful. I figured if I put it in for free you couldn’t get too mad about how wretched it is. As for Big Ugly Mouth, we sent it to engineer supreme Phil Klum to even out the levels of the tracks and clear it up some so it should sound better this time around. Enjoy . . . or something. Thanks -- Henry

Another talking record from Sydney, Australia? What, is Sydney the only place in the world to record? Well, no but the Enmore is a swell theater and it’s always a two to three night stand and Randy makes high quality recordings there and so it works out. On the 2003 tour, I happened to be at the Enmore two years later to the day that we did Talk is Cheap Vol. 1 so it was too conceptually cool to not record. You can gather that Talk is Cheap Vols. 1 & 2 were recorded April 23 & 24 of 2001 and in the tradition of the earlier installments of the recurring bloviating nightmare, not a great deal of editing was done. Holding with tradition, one dollar from each copy of this set sold will go Hollygrove Children’s Services in Los Angeles CA. Thanks to your patronage of this series and other CD releases on the 2.13.61 label, we have been able to send Hollygrove in excess of $10,000 dollars at the time of this writing. We have kept the price at ten bucks even in these times of inflation. Why? Because talk is cheap and we’re all judged by what we do, not what we say. Again and again, I thank you. -- Henry Rollins
