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

Caught at the end of a three month worldwide tour, Up For It showcases Henry Rollins and his very own brand of stand-up comedy live on the first of three sold-out nights at London's Astoria Theater. Also includes a half hour, in depth commentary-interview with Henry, "Your Number is One" music vide and a documentary on the making of release of the Nice CD. NTSC All Regions

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

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

It was a great night to be onstage in the DC area. The next day was the presidential election and the entire world was watching America to see what would happen. The audience was in a great mood that night. I remember thinking to myself after the show was over that perhaps it would be a good talking record. Several months later, in Ryan’s small but sturdy home studio, we turned on the machines and listened to the show. A few edits for time constraints and we were done. Thanks for listening -- Henry

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

Signed copies are SOLD OUT! Occupants pairs Rollins' visceral full-color photographs taken in Bangladesh, Burma, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Northern Ireland, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, and elsewhere over the last few years—with writings that not only provide context and magnify the impact of the images but also lift them to the level of political commentary. Simply put, this book is a visual testimony of anger, suffering, and resilience that will help its readers realize what is so easy to miss when tragedy and terror become numbing, constant forces—the quieter, stronger forces of healing, solidarity, faith and even joy.

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.

Work on Eye Scream started in 1986. I was crossing America constantly and experiencing the morality shifts, attitudes, and rituals in different parts of the country - the difference in the way people were in the Bible Belt as opposed to New York City, the way blacks and whites interfaced, the intolerance of homosexuality, the morality plays. I started to become aware of how brutal the country is and how much ferocity, cruelty, and oppression are inherent in the culture and how much of it was in me. I wanted to document it and create a book that brought the whole thing to a boil and see w here it left me off. In the summer of 1995, I finished the book and started to edit. Re-reading the manuscript over and over, I realized all the things I had picked up over a decade of playing Devil's advocate and it was inspiring because it clearly defined who my enemies are. As an American, I feel it impossible not to be infuriated by the way things are and have been. I refuse to be happy about the day-to-day and go along with it. There's too much spitting in my face and too much spitting in the faces of people who don't know any other way of life. This book is brutal, and at times, funny. I know that I will probably get a ton of shit for Eye Scream. Enjoy, or better yet... don't. -- Henry Rollins
