Editing Rollins Band (section)

===Second edition (1994–1997)===
Rollins's tour diaries from this era details the personal and creative tensions that led to Weiss being fired following the ''End of Silence'' tour. These diaries were published by Rollins's 2.13.61 company as ''See A Grown Man Cry'' and ''Now Watch Him Die''.

The band's new bassist was jazz and funk veteran [[Melvin Gibbs]], who'd been highly recommended by [[Living Colour]] guitarist [[Vernon Reid]], a friend of the Rollins Band since the first [[Lollapalooza]] tour. Cain and Gibbs had also both played in different versions of guitarist [[Marc Ribot]]'s band. Gibbs performed on Ribot's album ''[[Rootless Cosmopolitans]]'' (1990) and Cain on ''[[Requiem for What's His Name]]'' (1992).

The first video from 1994's ''Weight'', "Liar", was a huge hit on MTV, with Rollins sporting numerous costumes (including a cop and a nun). The band appeared at [[Woodstock '94]], and Rollins was a guest-host for several MTV programs, including ''120 Minutes''.

This version of Rollins Band had some of the most overt jazz leanings of the band's history: Gibbs had begun his career with Reid in the 1980s [[jazz fusion]] group of drummer [[Ronald Shannon Jackson]], and worked with [[Sonny Sharrock]] on albums like 1987's ''Seize the Rainbow''. These influences, along with Rollins' obsession with the late '60s/early '70s electric/fusion era of iconic trumpeter [[Miles Davis]], shaped this version of the band's music. During the sessions for ''Weight'', Rollins Band recorded with [[free jazz]] saxophonist [[Charles Gayle]], though these sessions remained unreleased for ten years at Gayle's request to avoid conflicts with his contractual obligations. The Gayle sessions were released in 2003 as ''Weighting''.

In 1996, there was a legal battle with the band's former label, Imago Records. Rollins claimed "fraud, deceit, undue
influence and economic coercion" on the label's part.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/508008/henry-rollins-sues-imago-records/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150214045341/http://www.mtv.com/news/508008/henry-rollins-sues-imago-records/|url-status=dead|archive-date=February 14, 2015|title=Henry Rollins Sues Imago Records|work=MTV News|access-date=24 February 2016}}</ref> They signed with the then-new major label [[DreamWorks Records]], who released 1997's ''[[Come In and Burn]]''. The album had a minor hit with the single "Starve" and the band appeared on ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' to promote the album (season 22, episode 18). However, ''Come In and Burn'' was not as successful as ''Weight'' and, after touring for ''Burn'', Rollins dissolved the group, citing creative stagnation.
