Who is rollins main influence

I would go to Rhino Records, where those guys behind the counter just know everything. I got into the ESP catalog. It aspires to so much. I really think John Coltrane thought he could cure the world of war and hatred and everything bad with his horn.

He meant it all the way to the end. I got that a bit from Black Flag, but I really got it from jazz. The real punk rock in America is bebop. Alan Vega was a hero to me growing up because of the first Suicide record. I got his phone number through my agent and cold called him. So I put it out, and that was just one of my big faves in Do you have any extra tracks for The Crow soundtrack? He told me the amount of the check he got, and it could very well be more money than they ever saw from that record.

As I grew older, I became angrier. I was just a very distinctly unhappy person. Still is. Little by little, I went back to being a music fan. And I got happy about music again, because I was no longer making it. Still not the happiest guy on the team, but not prone to bouts of anger like that. I still hate men and want to fight them but, knowing that any year-old could kick my ass, I have to remain peaceful.

I am corporate now, and Heidi [May] is the woman that runs all my different corporations. Just wow. I was at a Stooges show, and the opening band was Le Butcherettes.

Charisma for a hundred million years. If I like a band, I want to help that band. Because people did that for me. I just sat there, unable to move. My legs filled with lead. I need those records like I need food. They were as streetwise as any punk could hope to be.

A band headed by a half-black guy who had to fight all through his life? In Ireland he was probably your first bona-fide commercial rock star.

The US? I really liked it. Oh — and Philomena Lynott is one of the most amazing, strong and beautiful people I have ever met. She is my Irish grandmother.
