That brings back some memories of a rare time in popular (sorta) music. Black Flag at the 930 in D.C. on an unspeakably hot and humid summer’s night—flat draughts, Henry with hair like Jim Morrison in his prime and a pair of black running shorts he might’ve borrowed from Kira—very Iggyesque.
Saw this tour at the Roseland in NYC! Rollins band opened for Beastie Boys on Check Your Head tour 92’93. It was a moss pit the entire shows. The energy from Henry Rollins and the momentum from Check your head was insane. Beastie as live punk band was the best shit ever. It was either porno funk,rap,or punk with them all playing instruments. Still might be the best show I’ve seen. I wear glasses and I was 16. Back then i would wear glasses into pit and lose them at some point. This would happen all the time. The only reason I’m telling this part is because i would tell some random that my glasses got lost and they would stop pit . Everyone in pit would stop,and look for my glasses. This happened a couple times. Nobody got angry with me,they all would just stop slamming to help me find my glasses. Even back then I thought that was so noice of everyone,now that would never happen. Beastie Boys on that our was epic though
Mr. Rollins never looks impressed. Yet he has a knack for expressing a tender kindness and appreciation for a wide variety of things. He is a thinker, never without an opinion that is reasoned and rational.
I miss those guys!
#Cause I’m a liar. Yeah I’m a liar.
If only I could hang out with them and hear some stories about their days in the punk scene of the early 80’s
That tour was amazing! Cypress Hill was the opener.
Listen all y’all, it’s a sabotage.
Kinda looks like Adam’s explaining how cameras work to Rollins.
When the dude at the skate park rolls up wearing dress shoes, get outta the way….
Henry came straight from work to hang out with the crew. Cut his pants into shorts but forgot his other shoes. Upset but still took a picture.
I saw them on this tour
RIP MCA
Those are really fine men and great artists.
I remember when these guys looked older. Now they look like babies in this picture.
Didn’t realise Rollins had one of those long slidey dildos on his leg. Good for him.
Henry Rollins is my boy! I have a Beastie Boyz patch on my battle jacket, but no Black Flag. Dammit! I need to fix that.

Dress for the job you want…
I can’t really figure out what the weather was like that day.
Henry was brilliant in the movie He Never Died, one of my favourites
Legends. All of them.
Too much old school coolness in here
Why does Henry, the largest friend, not simply eat the other three?
100% the coolest picture I will see today.
I still kick myself for missing that tour.
At that time, Henry Rollins looked like an old man to me, the Beasties looked like adults.
Now they all look like babies!
Some people forgot that the beastie boys started out as a Punk band
Punk Legends
Mike D and Henry look like they were unhappy about being forced into the pic with the overly exuberant MCA and Ad Rock.
I saw them on that tour at Rutgers. It was Beastie Boys, Rollins Band and Da Lench Mob

Those white rap kids
What a great time we had in the mid 80 s and 90 s
I saw this tour in Toronto
This picture was taken that one day when Henry was wearing a black t-shirt.
The Beastie Boys out here clowning for the camera and Hank is just “take the fucking picture”
He read the poetry of the great airbending guru, Laghima.
Rollins is such a fucking moody princess
This was my first major concert. Check Your Head tour w Rollins Band.
I love how Henry Rollins never looks like he approves of anything.
The look on his face is like being surrounded by overly-energetic interns.
Henry Rollins always looks like he’s ready to punch you in the face
