'Suitcases of records?' It's MP3's dude. Jeez Mr Rollins, you really are so out of it. Time to retire methinks. I'm gonna send Technoviking 'round to your house to give you an education.

If you're a DJ and you play MP3s at a gig, thats just wrong.

Dude, many of the best 'techno'or 'house' DJs use MP3s these days - in tandem with Ableton Live or similar sequencers and CDs.

Just a few examples: Pete Tong, Sasha, The Prodigy, Fred Giannelli, Satoshi Tomeii, Mouse on Mars, Autechre, Kit Clayton, Phats and Small... etc etc.

I could go on but I think the point is made.

Rollins would rape Technoviking just on principle.

He could try, but my money would be on Technoviking. BTW, who is this Rollins guy? Never heard of him until this clip was uploaded. Is he popular in the US? Does he have a show like Dave Chappelle or does he just do stand-up?

what the fuck is he talking about?
"dj fuckhead, tum, tum, tum, tum..."?
that's not RAVE, MORON! listen to a good techno mix, then rewind what the fuck you said.
a good dj, like Tiesto, van Buuren, van Dyk, Oakenfold and many other COULD TAKE A SHIT ON YOU AND MAKE YOU CLEAN THE MESS, jackass.

Actually, a good dj, like Tiesto, van Buuren, van Dyk, Oakenfold, etc. could take a shit on him, and TECHNOVIKING would make him clean up the mess :)

Henry Rollins hates his own mom. He hates everything. He probably hates hate.

I don't usually care for Rollins but this time, holy hell was it painful to listen to. Good job Hank, try harder to stretch out a mediocre joke longer by repeating the punchline verbatim about 8 times. No no, say it again, maybe they're not laughing because they didn't hear you well enough. Ohhhhhh, if the music or the DRUGS came first! Now I get it...that, yeah that's kind of funny.

Even worse is his ranting about how self-important DJs are, all the while trying desperately to convince you of how hardcore, edgy and 'real' he still is by saying the F word after every fifth word, sometimes more frequently. Protip: gratuitous swearing makes up for a lack of substance.

All we need to finish this off is that jackass from the 4 DJs video to effuse his vast knowledge of how a retarded monkey could make techno music but it takes unparalleled skill and finesse to play any instrument.

sw9lecomp....hmmm......I think I agree (lost you on the retarded monkey deal).

URS...manolo noted "beautifully said"...gotta tell you both...what you said ain't beautiful at all, not at all.....accurate, maybe, but hardly beautious.

There was a video a while ago about 4 DJs mixing a song. Some techno-hater was making a big stink that it wasn't impressive at all and that anyone could learn how to do that but that it took amazing talent and ability to play an instrument well. It just seemed a little closed minded, much like Angry McSwearsalot here.

God forgive me, but Ace, I actually agree with you.(and now I must punish myself.....harshly)

Hi ace - hope you caught all the posts on the drunk driving video. I was just a little sharp with you on one, but then later repented.
On this video, I agree with Henry, the music is painful to listen to, at least to someone like me. That's fine tho. I don't have to listen to it if I don't want to. Henry's style is pretty intense though.

The drugs came first: the brain on Ecstasy craves thumping kickdrum,
underwater basslines, tinkling piano, and random sound effects.

Oh, that's house music, not techno. Sorry.
Back to my Victrola I go.

This is the worst comedian I've ever heard. What a total moron.

that was great.

I'm not sure this even qualifies for comedy, seriously there isn't anything remotely funny about this video; well except the fact he was known as "Henry Lawrence Garfield" before changing his surname. And I have agree that Mr. Garfield, I mean Mr. Rollins wouldn't stand a chance against the almighty Technoviking. Who unlike Henry, who talks just to hear his own voice doesn't have to say a single word to get his point across! With that mentioned, who is he to be calling anyone "super self-important"? Beyond that, why was he at a "Euro Music Festival" hanging out w\ dj's if he doesn't like techno music in the first place? And for a guy who thinks he knows so damn much, why doesn't he know that drugs came first, with about a 35 year lead on the "shitty rave music". He should also know that "the guys on their macs" never hired a dj to sample a drum beat,

and that those same guys he referred to as "other peoples" intentionally make those records for dj's to play. As well as, that most of these untalented artists knew more about music by the age of 15 than he ever will. Considering the only "talent" or instrument he knows how to play is "spoken word", he outta just shut his mouth! (pun intended)... And should he ever decide to reinvent himself as a dj, to use a record crate

If you were familiar with Henry Rollins from his beginning you wouldn't need to be struggling with your uneducated opinions. He's making money off of people because they want to hear his effing comedy. Anger and rage has been his MO forever!!!! Welcome to Henry's world you've so willingly made yourself a part of.....

"henry rollins was the singer for black flag an 80s punk band" ....no sheet?

"If you were familiar with Henry Rollins from his beginning you wouldn't need to be struggling with your uneducated opinions." .... well his MO is tiresome & annoying! "his comedy", now that is laughable, as is laughing @ him & not with him. naturally cuz he's too angry to joke around with, and as far as uneducated opinions go; . . .you obviously have several.
best wishes
