And just the aesthetics of those records... they’re so heavy. And they have almost dark quality – they’re almost metal. (...) And those King Crimson records are very, very heavy and dark. They have an incredible musical tension. But they’re also very rich with a lot of depth. The tonalities within the intervals and the progressions – they use a lot of flatted fifths which creates a kind of dark tone. And also just a radical dynamics, if you’re listening to these records – they’re incredibly from powerful - from heavy rich chords to near silence. (...) And they also improvised a lot. A lot of King Crimson stuff is just jamming. It’s not noodling, they’re doing collective improvisation. It’s not all written out. And some of the most amazing parts of their music were just improvised. That was what we also brought into Rollins Band. There was a lot of space for improvisation. Not noodling, not a kind of wasting time. But actually making unwritten music happen. And it’s (sic) also came from [[Grateful Dead]]."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Volohov |first=Dan |date=August 2018 |title=Honest Creativity: An Interview With Chris Haskett Of The Henry Rollins Band |url=https://www.punkglobe.com/chrishaskett0818.php |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231208033230/https://www.punkglobe.com/chrishaskett0818.php |archive-date=December 8, 2023 |access-date=July 15, 2024 |website=Punk Globe}}</ref></blockquote>Mid-career albums such as ''Weight'' also had a pronounced [[jazz]] influence.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/1994-the-40-best-records-from-mainstream-alternatives-greatest-year-20140417/rollins-band-weight-19691231|title=Rollins Band, 'Weight'|magazine=Rolling Stone|date=April 17, 2014|access-date=February 24, 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/life/music/news/2011-08-02-lollapalooza-1991-where-are-they-now_n.htm|title=Lollapalooza 1991: Where are the stars now?|work=USATODAY.COM|access-date=February 24, 2016}}</ref>
