Feel the pain!
"I can't unwind!" Henry Rollins yells on What Have I Got. Some 20 years after he fronted scary LA punks Black Flag as a wiry skinhead. Rollins remains the angriest man in rock. On this live album, recorded at an Australian radio station in 1990 before a small audience of roadies and friends, Rollins marshals his band in the manner of a drill sergeant. The Rollins Band rock with life-or-death intensity. Lonely is a cry of utter desolation set to a merciless, Black Sabbath-inspired grind, but even this pales beside Do It, a supercharged punk rock song in which Rollins defies all comers to match his modus operandi. "Get up off your ass," he roars, "do it!" **** Paul Elliott
