Henry Rollins is an artist whose legendary, no-holds-barred performances encompasses music, acting, and written and spoken word. As Details magazine said when it named Rollins the 1994 Man of the Year: "through two decades of rage and discipline, Henry Rollins has transformed himself from an L.A. punk rocker into a universal soldier. His enemies: slackers and hypocrites. His mission: to steel your soul and rock your world."
Rollins was frontman for the seminal punk band Black Flag, and since 1987 has led the Rollins Band, whose ninth album, Come In and Burn, was just released by DreamWorks.
As a spoken-word artist, he regularly performs at colleges and theaters worldwide and has released eight spoken-word audiotapes. His album Get in the Van won the Grammy for Best Spoken Word Album for 1995. As an actor, he has appeared in The Chase, Johnny Mnemonic, Heat, and David Lynch's forthcoming film, Lost Highway.
From his days as front man for the band Black Flag and the current Rollins Band to his books and spoken-word audiotapes, Henry Rollins is the music, the attitude, and the voice that takes no prisoners. In his twelve books, he has led us on a hallucinatory journey through the decades--and his mind--with poems, essays, short stories, diary entries, and rants that exist at "the frayed edges where reality ends and imagination begins" (Publishers Weekly). For the first time, the best of his legendary, no-holds-barred writings are available. This collection includes new photos and works from such seminal Rollins books as:

The definitive monograph of Glen E. Friedman, a pioneer of skate,
punk, and hip-hop photography, including much
never-before-published work. Glen E. Friedman is best known for his
work capturing and promoting rebellion in his portraits of artists
such as Fugazi, Black Flag, Ice-T, Dead Kennedys, Minor Threat, The
Misfits, Bad Brains, Beastie Boys, Run-D.M.C., and Public Enemy, as
well as classic skateboarding originators such as Tony Alva, Jay
Adams, Alan "Ollie" Gelfand, Duane Peters, and Stacy Peralta, and a
very young Tony Hawk. Designed in association with celebrated
street and graphic artist Shepard Fairey, this monograph captures
the most important and influential underground heroes of
skateboarding, punk, and hip-hop cultures. My Rules is an
unprecedented window into the three most significant
countercultures of the last quarter of the twentieth century, and
Friedman's photographs define those important movements that he
helped shape. A remarkable chronicle and a primer about the origins
of radical street cultures, My Rules is also a statement of
artistic inspiration for those influenced by these countercultures.
'If I lose the light of the sun, I will write by candlelight,
moonlight, no light, If I lose paper and ink, I will write in blood
on forgotten walls. I will write always. I will capture nights all
over the world and bring them to you.' Henry Rollins, renowned
spoken-word performer, musician, actor and author of several books,
has a unique, hard-edged view of the world. This collection of
writings from 1989 - 1991 is the classic Rollins book. From
dramatic fiction shorts detailing stark, disturbing realities to
gut-wrenching tour journals destroying all misconceptions of the
glamour of fame and the music industry; from the challenging poetry
to revealing dream sequences, Rollins' writing is unflinching in
its honesty, uncompromising in its truth and irresistibly
addictive.
'I believe that one defines oneself by re-invention. To not be like
your parents. To not be like your friends. To be yourself. To cut
yourself out of stone. Using his trademark wit, insight and verve,
hardcore punk rock icon Henry Rollins interviews Jerry Lee Lewis,
John Lee Hooker and Isaac Hayes, includes articles on Roky Erickson
and David Lee Roth and reproduces his 1991 Lollapalooza tour
journals.
This is the first UK publication for a cult classic. Using his
trademark wit, insight and verve, icon Henry Rollins shares
journals from his gruelling world tours of 1997 and 1998, as well
as a record of the fulfilment of his longstanding dream to journey
through Africa. He takes us on a rollercoaster of highs and lows,
frustrations and exhilaration - from roving gangs of baboons in
Kenya to haggling with immigration officials in Madagascar and his
thoughts on meeting his childhood heroes, Black Sabbath - and finds
a way to make his unique experiences accessible and meaningful to
us all.
