Henry Rollins vs. Glen Danzig??

Question

Which do you prefer and why?

Huevo, you really hit the nail on the head for me.

Answer 1

I think Glenn is a bit of a cheese ball. There's an interview of him on youtube talking about the books he likes. Of course, he has his shirt off and flexes everytime he picks a book off the shelf. And all the books are about wolves eating children and stuff. He just tries too hard.

Henry is just one cool cat though. He is smart and comes off as authentic in his attitude. He doesn't try to do the whole 'badass' routine because he doesn't have to. So I'd go with Henry. (He's cuter too- and he is aging really well, which doesn't hurt. Danzig will probably end up looking like Tony Little)

Answer 2

Glenn Danzig Henry Rollins

Answer 3

Henry Rollins Glenn Danzig

Answer 4

I'll go with Glen Danzig becasue I like his voice, mainly in the early Misfits, whereas the main reason I never liked Black Flag after Henry Rollins joined was because Henry Rollins sings terribly. I guess it's fine for if you're really pissed off, but all the versions of early Black Flag songs sung by Keith Morris and Ron Reyes and even Dez Cadena are much much better than with Rollins doing his thing. ON the other hand Danzig in his day could sing a catchy melody, tell me "Last Caress" isn't a good song. Then go listen to Rollins singing on "Thirsty And Miserable", I like "Last Caress". Which actually brings me to my next point, while the Misfits weren't exactly a barrel of laughs, after Rollins joined Black Flag it was all completely cheerless, I'm surprised they got him to do "T.V. Party". It's all really music for when you're in a bad mood, but a song by the Misfits like "Attitude" can actually get you pumped and enthusiastic.

Although to be honeest, listening to Damaged now, I like it a lot, and I probably do prefer Henry to Dez, but I still stand by my decision that Danzig's vocals blew Rollins out of the water any day of the week. Although I think it's worth noting I've never bothered with the bands Danzig or the Rollins Band.

P.S.
It's funny you ask because yesterday in the car me and a friend were discussing which of these two would win in a fight because they were both so damn buff. I might have my money on Rollins for that one though, I think he's been in more fights.

P.P.S.
On a sidenote, Keith Morris's stint in Black Flag was better than both of them even at their best and the Circle Jerks were as good as the Misfits and Black Flag put together. And I know what you're thinking, and yes, this is a scientific fact and has been tested.

Answer 5

Rollins. If you had asked when both were in the middle of their careers with their seminal bands it would have been Glenn due to my preference of The Misfits. As time has gone on, however, time has not been kind to Mr. Danzig. I feel as if Danzig was a sub-standard showing to what he did with The Misfits, plus last time I saw him he looked like the illegitamate son of Elvis. The fat Elvis that is.

Rollins, on the other hand, is a bad ***. The Rollins Band, while not as good as Black Flag (Greg Ginn did make the band!), was still better than Glen's later job and Henry's television show is one of the few things on TV that I enjoy watching. Plus he looks to be in much better health. He might preach a little too hard for my tastes but I'd take old Hank over that washed-up ex Misfits / Samhain vocalist any day.

Answer 6

I'm probably not the best person to answer this question because my knowledge of The Misfits isn't as great as I'd like it to be. So, I'd end up taking Henry by default. I'm a huge fan of all his work in Black Flag and Rollins Band. Plus, his TV show is mighty entertaining. However, I also enjoy the few things I'm familiar with as far as Danzig goes. Where Eagles Dare is such a great tune. No wrong answers here as they are both great.

Answer 7

Henry and Danzig ... sorry but I can't pick just one. Henry is much more eloquent and has alot more to say, but Glen oozes sex and danger. Henry is like the cool guy in your class with glasses who argues with teachers over the meaning of poetry, but Glen is your best friend's older brother who makes you blush nervously when you're in the room alone with him.

Physically, Henry is a petite man with a few muscles, and Danzig can't take a punch (we've all seen that video). I still wouldn't kick either out of my bed lol

But I guess you meant musically lol... and I stick to my first reaction - can't pick just one! I like them both equally, when I'm in the mood for different styles of music.

Answer 8

Henry Rollins because he actually talks about real human expierience. Not saying that Danzig sucks. I think he's a great artist. But Henry Rollins is my choice.

Answer 9

Henry used to scoop ice cream in Georgetown. He was balding at the time and did this really wierd for a 20 year-old Trump thing.

I don't know Glen but I have always had nigtmares about finding a Henry hair in my cone. Caligula was playing across the street and Henry would clean the theater between ice cream work.

I prefer Glen.

Answer 10

~Id have to go with Henry. I think Henry has a lot more to say, is active in a lot of things, and is a little more angrier.
I do like Glen too though!~
