Actually, from my almost retardedly limited amount of experience (so limited that, in the grand scheme of things, it's totally absurd that I should have an opinion at all) he's not unlikeable at all. I suppose he's a bit gruff, but I met him once, and I think he was actually flattered that someone recognized him. I would actually be more likely to brag about that meeting than most of my "celebrity" encounters.

Yeah, ah, Billie Joe Armstrong for one. And Dave Grohl. Man I was easily impressed when I was 14. I still didn't gush over either of those assholes, but Greg Ginn kinda had me holdin' my cock between my legs.

I'm not finding myself super excited about new/unearthed Black Flag, though. Hmm. Think it might be time to give that band another go-around. It's been a while.

What if Henry Rollins, this "Black Flag" revisited, and also the Flag featuring something of the Descendents all bumped into each other and clashed in a German dive bar? EPIC

That is what Henry Rollins said in his LA Weekly column about it months ago..

I got asked by someone if I was going to go on tour this summer and play what at this point is old music. I told the person that I wasn't because that currently, my future is getting in the way of my past.
I tell you this because in the summer months, you can count on bands that have been gone for years who will reassemble and go onto stages all over the world playing "vintage music." Perhaps they are on a Proustian mission to recapture that which has been lost. I read the interviews where the musicians claim that now they can really play this music. I don't doubt them, but therein lies the problem. Musicians should not play Music. Music should play musicians.
Bands that think they have a handle on Music are no longer battling the beast. They think they have mastered Music. They have not.
Music cannot be mastered.

It gets even better:

Oh, how delicious.

Also, funny contrasting Henry's statement quoted above with his enthusiastic MC'ing during Black Sabbath's reunion announcement on 11/11/11. Guess it's different when you are personally involved in the interpersonal bullshit, versus when you are a devoted fan.

Reyes sounds like Sammy Hagar talking about Van Halen in the recent Goldmine!
