Up until lateralus was released i considered this my favorite tool song simply because i respect Henry Rollins so much and for him to collaborate with such talent as tool was like heaven for me. And it seems such an appropriate song for him to be in. Since his own music often represents the same feelings of guilt, shame, and just generall shit at the bottom.
just curious if any other rollins fans had thoughts on his presence on this song/album

The only thing that bothers me about the poem/lyrics he reads is that there's this build-up to an upcoming scream...and he lets Maynard have it. I (think) i would have liked to her Henry Rollins let out a loud scream rather than Maynard (even though it's a good one).

I personally like Henry Rollins, and I don't mind him being in the song. In fact, I like it.
I can't remember what thread it was...(I think it was Hooker with a Penis, where someone thought that song was about Henry Rollins)...a lot of people in that thread seemed to hate Henry Rollins.
(By the way, doesn't Rollins have his own record company or something like that. I heard he released his own albums and at least one of Ziggy Pop's...I don't know if this is true or not, just something I heard.)
