first take

Apparently Henrys first take differed slightly from the recorded version. Instead of singing I'm naked and fearless and my fear is naked, he originally sang I'm gay and I weight lift and I weight lift naked.

Re: first take

Maybe in the studio he was fucking with the guys from Tool since they're such jokers themselves and laid down those tracks for a laugh. Really, though, who cares?

Could be, but again the way that he presented it was if it was with serious intent that those were the lyrics at some point and not in the reference of a joke.


...anyways, I don't care

You are correct to take my post very seriously. I have it on very good authority that this indeed was Henry's first take. If you care to do some research I think you will find that around the time Tool were recording Undertow Henry was doing a lot of naked weightlifting.
I respect your skepticism, but please don't stop caring.

Yeah, I don't think I'll be researching Henry Rollins doing naked weightlifting. But whatever floats your boat man.

Thanks for the warning Rolo, but I'm very familiar with the tattoos on Henry's body. We've been weightlifting partners since '86.

There should be a few lying around somewhere... Henry and Dave actually made a calender with pics of them weightlifting together as a fundraiser for their naked weightlifting school. As I recall, their July spread was perfection.

Re: first take

I thought this was going to be something interesting about someone in the band doing something amazing on the album in the first take.

On a somewhat unrelated note, I read somewhere that Josh Freese recorded much of 13th step in first takes.

Thank you for your kind words Funbags. I like to think that calendar really captured the erotic side of naked weightlifting.

Re: first take

I thought it was a really nice touch that both of you were fully oiled up, the make up artist did a great job.

Re: first take

The make up artist did a good job on the hair, but the oiling up was all done by Henry and myself. You may not know this, but in naked weightlifting it is traditionally your partner who oils you up.
