It's your chance to end the debate of who would win in a fight between Glenn Danzig and Henry Rollins.
I've had the debate countless times with various friends and coworkers. I've even seen others discuss it on a couple of Internet message boards. I've heard and read many arguments, some plausible and some ridiculous. But sadly, this great question continues to be unanswered.…

Alright, Horror Business sez it all " You don't go in the bathroom with me" that and don't forget We Bite "to get your blood I'll rip your throat" though they are both washed up 5'4" balls of fudge I saw Danzig flying elbow drop my buddy Benji during Danzig set after a Samhian show like 3 years ago, fucked him up pretty good. Rollins would just bitch alot and make up a story years later in a book and call it Get in the van 2 the time me and my unicorn sicced our wookie on Danzig. Fuk Rollins. Martial arts, no martial arts danzig would just go apeshit. Rollins would try to reason with him and give some watered down psycho-anylitical BS then get all pretentious and talk out his ass about something. Hank does have a firm hand shake for a lil' guy but Glenn kicked my buddy Tommy's ass in armwrestling at Outland and Tommy's not a small dude. Gotta give it to the guy who never ruined anyone elses band. We are 138

henry rollins is a fucking poser, loser and a censorship advocate. I hope he dies in a firey car crash.

"little woman groupie" ?????
wtf
the misfits tattoo henry has is actaully the crimson ghost which was NOT created by glenn...
its a 1946 b grade horror movie and it was called the crimson ghost.
its on youtube
see for yourself
the fiend skull and the crimson ghost images are stripped from the movie...
so there....
taking glenn at his best and henry at his best
id say glenn would win
and shortness doesnt matter people
im glenns height (5ft4) and i winn all my fights
oh well
stay cool ghouls

Anyone who has heard a rollins diatribe has no doubt heard the story about when his mate was shot and killed, can't believe he let that happen. Glenn would've gone down in flames, Rollins ain't so tough.

This is actually one of the better debates i've seen sadly enough.
Saying that im a massive fan of them both, its hard to think about who'd win.
The faults I guess are.
- even when you have more reach, its not always a good thing, because less reach means you can get inside of the opponents arms and work from the inside.
- Danzig didint really look like he knew kung fu when he got knocked out by the fat ass from north side kings, and im pretty sure that there was more to that fight... danzig probally got back up and ate his soul, ha.
Dunno.
Its really hard, hmm.
Fucking Danzig.
think about it.
ITS FUCKING DANZIG!

ok I like this one and have on occasion thought of this myself. Both are two of my heroes for various reasons. They both are very intelligent and witty much to any mainstreamers surprise. I have a feeling they both work out together sometimes. In hand to hand i think it would be a close call. When Danzig connects with those long claws Henry would get tore up. It'd probably last a good 13 rounds and both would suffer serious damage. Overall Henry would come out the winner only because he is insane and would'nt admit it was time to quit.
A very cool competition would be weightlifting and another would be a "survivor" type event. It's probably already happened at some point but I'd like to hear, see an interview with two interviewing each other.
As artists I'd say Danzing wins for music while Henry wins for spoken word action.
How about a video game where you have an option of either being henry or danzig and the objective is to reek havoc on people or places your not down with.
Ok back to work. Have to read all the other comments from people later.

idk who would win between henry and glenn, personally phil anselmo back in the day would lay waste to the both of them, he was jacked as shit and a psycho

Danzig of course.
Rollins is lame.
Go back to your IMC tv show ya queer!
DANZIG
192 - James Clark
OMG this is so obvious....
Danzig!
193 - Donny
They're both excellent in what they do. But in this particular match, I'd bet all my money (which is not much when it comes to me) on Rollins. He's bigger and meaner, and as a fighter, I can tell Rollins' a fighter.
194 - Erik
Win or lose street fight time is street fight time....And danzig is still rumblin for better or worse and rollins is going to tanning salons.
Oh and whoever said something about a boxer always losing to a wrestler doesnt know any decent boxers.
195 - gabe
rollins all the way. we'll let glen danzig try to be all tough and get his ass knocked out by some bumbling fool. if you pit the same guy that knocked glen out, hank would be eating his guts for breakfast lunch and dinner.
196 - DF
This is a rediculous fight. Danzig hands down. Haven't you seen him on the album cover of 6:66?
nuf said? no?!?!
let's see someone take out his backup: Thrall Demonsweat.

just for the record, the north side kings vs. danzig fight was most likely staged by vic campbell. how convienient was it that someone just happened to be standing there in plane view with a camera. danzig let the whole thing go and walked away. he was a better man. also, notice how the camera fades out right as danzig is getting back up. whats with that? take this into consideration: your makeing money, alot more then a local band. local band memeber gets angry and assaults you. you could A.(fight back and most likely win, get sued for assault and loose all ur money and have to stop touring to pay for the fat son of a bitch) or B.(let it go so that you dont get in any police trouble and dont get sued cuz you know you could beat his ass anyday of the week). most ppl would pick A. now, danzig vs. rollins. ive said this before, they wouldnt fight each other, in which case it would really depend on the circumstances. i would have to say now, after readin henrys books, that good ol hank would probably win in a fight cuz he has more pent up agression then danzig. it would be a close fight though. danzig would probably be able to out manuver him for a while, but once rollins got ahold on him danzig would probably be done. idk. they both seem capable of defending themselves from oneanother, but why woudl they fight in the first place? they are both friends. ill always see misfits as my favorite band, but danzig, its true, is now a very big cock rocker. he spends too much time on huge venues booked with sellout bands. i wish he could reconcile his differences w/the misfits and just let everything go. i wanna see a straight reunion before i die. also, kinda a funny note, danzig is going bald. ahhaha
198 - THEWAYOUT18
I've Read Rollins' Books, and he is one tough S.O.B. Danzig may dabble in the black arts but Rollins controls reality...everyone's reality. The man has the world by the balls. Rollins without a doubt.

The Fat Guy Vs. Danzig thing was a gag
Danzig would fuckin punch Henry Rollins face off. Danzig once punched a mans teeth out just for saying good job after a show. He also kicked a woman teeth out Danzig dont give a fuck!
200 - lurk
as much as it would be the best fight EVER and who ever would win would only just win.
i have to go with Danzig just cause satan would have his back and satan and dazig is the best tag team ever next to hitler and stalin =D
201 - lurk
you know after thinking it through its now clear to me that no one would win as evrything known to man would be obliterated in the epic battle
202 - Dunky_Hazard
Thats funny.. I saw Social D last night and i had a little debate with my friend on who would win in a fight, Glen Danzig or Mike Ness.
I think this is a more fair fight.. here is how i picture it
Mike Ness would fuck you up old school, whereas Danzig well hes Pure Evil. Ness would no doubt have a weapon (Possibly a switch blade or broken beer bottle) where as Danzig would have all kinds of ungodly shit happening.. (glowing lazer eyes and other demonic powers etc etc)
If i had to choose one id say Ness though.. even though hes not as big he has definitely been in his share of scraps. Ness has the street cred.. bu t I know Danzig hold his own...
Any thoughts anyone ?
203 - Dr Heelhook
They're good friends, aren't they?
204 - cryp7
i think henry would win. Ness and duder would make sweet love duncs. and id make sweet love to phil mossimo haha mossimo.
205 - Dr. Ackula
What about Doyle??? He's fucking huge I'd like to see him fight anyone.
206 - blahblah
hahaha
Danzig hands down
he'd eat rollins face
and then rape his mom
:]
207 - Hitash
first of all this north side kings bullshit has gotta be the fakest fight iver ever seen, first of all, you never even see danzig's face. second of all, this 'punch' is more like him hitting him then not being able to hold a fist. I also really like how the fucking crowd gets in the way for all the rest of it. those northside mother fuckers are nobody assholes that wish they had even met danzig i dont belive any part of that video.
allrigh, down to rollins, all this talk of how great a guy he is, and well thats none of what ive seen, every time is see him, hees bein a lame ass jerk off to his fans even though its not a very large crowd. ive seen this guy (not because i wanted to) with rollins band and my god, ive never seen anyone fall so far, i mean for fucks sake, you were in a good band but you cant cover any of their songs even if all of yours suck?
ok, danzig may not be as fit as rollins but damn he looks like he is a thick motherfucker, like you hit him and he starts laughing whereas rollins looks like he would cough up a kidney if you punched him right.
ok to sum it all up
DANZIG fuckin rapes northside kings and rollins band
and rollins band blows hard, reaaaal hard
208 - Hitash
hah oh yea and congrats on this stayin alive so long, i was bored and read the whole thing and learned alot of useful stuff haha gotta love summer

Hi, wanted to alert you to something very cool that Henry Rollins is doing. He's offering a chance to sound off on an issue for a national audience -- and the one person he personally chooses will be flown to LA to co-host the "Henry Rollins Show" marathon on IFC (Independent Film Channel) with Henry.
Rollins is inviting you to tape a short video "rant" and the person who does the one he chooses will be flown to L.A. (the winner and a guest for 3 days/2 nights), meet Henry and host the upcoming "Rollins Show" Marathon.
Go to ziddio.com/myrollinsrant and record and upload a 30-second video "rant" on one of the 11 hot topics Henry has selected (including abortion rights, has the Iraq war made us safer? Bush's response to Hurricane Katrina, is America a dumb country? global warming, etc.)
All entries will be watched by, and the winner chosen solely by, Henry. He encourages anyone to enter, no matter their political persuasion - his only requirement: have "passion and attitude!"
An amazing opportunity. And a chance to sound off on some issues!
Henry explains it all, and upload your "rant" at: ziddio.com/myrollinsrant

If this were to occur circa 1990, give or take a couple years, Glenn would smoke Henry. Today? Glenn would get shut down.
And I'm not hating at all here... but let's be honest - the only way these two would fight is if it were over the same guy. 0_0
211 - ILLPNURBUTT
stupid question,..Glen would call forth his minions,..like yours truely. Then it'd go somethin like this Fuck Henry sorry bout this, but I gotta fuckin kill ya,..no hard feelings? and he's say well,..what Glen wants ,..Glen gets and would throw himself under the wheels of my '71 Cuda.
212 - Jennfer
Henry Rollins, derrrrr! Glenn Danzig is a short poser.
213 - coz
I saw Danzig get knocked out on Liveleak.com backstage at one of his shows. He cocked off to the wrong guy and got leveled. He's got to be 40-something now.
214 - roper
did you know that rollins sang 138 with danzig back inthe day at the whisky? both are frickin cool its a tie!
215 - misfits
i dont get why that one dude said that danzig is a talentless screamer, he has more vocal power and musical talent than rollins could ever dream of, sure henry has accomplished more, and he may be a huge intellectual, and hell, he even has his own show, but i personally believe danzig would win talent wise, in a fist fight it would be henry, i'm sure we all say that video of danzig getting knocked which was messes up but it just shows how tough danzig is.
216 - misfits
oh, and i forgot to add, that chick who said that danzig is a poser, both are pioneers in the punk rock world, danzig defined a certain punk rock sound and with every band he has been in, he created a new chunk of that type of music, and rollins took over for the old frontman of black flag, and in my opinion upped the ante of black flag, but how can danzig be a poser if all his music is original. that being said i love both and think that both are great musicians and i dont know why its such a debate they are both badasses and they would never fight.
217 - dave3
hey could someone re post the pic and the video of danzig gettingknocked out by the fat guy they don't work.
218 - Glenn Danzig
I'd win. Face it! In the end, I'd knock all of your brains out.
Rollins is a good guy, but in a winner takes all brawl, I'd come out on top.
As for the Arizona dispute with Danny M.
Yes the video is fuckin real.
I did get hit, but my fans crowded around me, and the fat guy ran away.
Watch the video again I dare you.
You'll see a fat guy in a red shirt pull him away from me, and from there on he runs away.
Iv'e seen the emails he sent to his buddies about it.
He's a crock of shit!
Thanks to all my loyal fans.
And just know if you make me sign a bootleg peice of merchandise I WILL fuck your shit up.
MOTHERFUCKERS!
219 - randle void
mmkay first of all rollins is a pussy ass steroid freak that cant sing anymore cause what is the like 65 or soo but hey any guy that can write the song bullet at the age of 21 GLENN DANZIG IS MY FUCKIN HERO ENOUGH SAID
220 - Fun & Games
Danzig, you're a joke. You've been beaten up by a Def Leppard guy, and you still deny it. The NSK fat thug hit you, then you went down. You had no chance. People despise you. People respect Rollins, but you're just someone no one wants to be.
221 - Jetman
Is that really Danzig posting? Hey Glenn, why did you say the dude used a blade against you? Did he spoil your image, man? I see no blade. And that guy in the red shirt was trying to help YOU, as the NSK dude was out to beat you more. You suck.
222 - Angry
Hey Danzig...
You got KNOCKED THE FUCK OUT!
223 - Vab, Vab!
Laugh, I nearly fell over. Danzig trying to look tough again? What a fricking joke. Even trying to threaten his own (2) fans? Danzig, you're a moron. Every fight you've started you've lost, so just GROW UP, MIDGETMAN!! Hahahahahahahahahaha!!
224 - Farmer Peter
Dude, I laughed too. I actually knocked that jerk, Danzig, out a few years back. Remember that club in Newport, Danzig? The one where you were acting all big (hah) and strong. I was a student on vacation, acting as security, and I decked you when you tried talking down (hah again) to me. I saw the Arizona clip, and got a sense of deja-vu!Haven't you grown up yet, man? You were fuckin' easy to deck, and I'll deck you again if I see you.
225 - Henry Cow
Someone told me Danzig had posted here, claiming he could whoop Hank. I hope Hank reads it, then beats Danzig to a pulp, as he surely could. Danzig, you're a sad, even tragic figure, ridiculed all over the world as an inadequate, very short man, with all the charisma of a wet day in Seattle. Piss off, Danzig. You're weak and advanced.
