Who would win in a fight?


Glenn Danzig or Henry Rollins? Yeah, this is not an original hypothetical but still one to spark an interesting debate.



Glenn grew up with a no-nonsense former Marine Corps veteran father. Since the late 80s he has been practicing the Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do form of martial arts. What is Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do? Its the martial arts form created by Bruce Lee and translates to: "Bruce Lee's Way of the Intercepting Fist." That's pretty bad ass. Glenn's personality often caused heated conflicts with other bands sharing the stage. Culminating in a show in Tuba City, Arizona, where Danny Marianino (lead singer of the band North Side Kings) punched Danzig after being pushed. Today Danzig keeps busy as an author focusing on his interests in with horror, gore, occult, erotic and religious themes

Henry was raised in the DC area and due to a poor behavior and poor grades was sent to the Bullis Military school. Rollins, while fronting the band, State of Alert, was known for getting into fights with audience members. As the frontman for Black Flag, this trend continued. In 1984 he began a steady weight lifting regiment, some assumed this to be a way of looking more intimidating. Henry has found his fingers in several pies these days as an activist, author, in spoken word and he also hosts his own show on the IFC.

Surely this is a question for the ages. I doubt we'll come to a conclusion today...

But if I am going to pick. I'm going with Henry Rollins.
