blue Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 (edited) I wish I played for someone that cared this much. It's an 11 minute clip. Some of you have heard this and some not. ***ADMIN NOTICE: LINK FEATURES LOTS OF SWEARING*** [url="https://youtu.be/omID1prJHFo"]https://youtu.be/omID1prJHFo[/url] For reference purposes a "clam" is a bad note.

Mykesbass Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I wouldn't care enough to become an odious bully - but then I'd never be anywhere near as great on bass as Rich was on drums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dand666 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Little different, they are top jazz players and they're playing with the best. If someone spoke to me like that when I was working on the ships I'll tell them where to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really think his behaviour stank, and it actually stops me from enjoying his music. James Brown behaved in a very similar way (but it would take a lot to put me off his music)!

Buddy Rich was a violent racist bully, hated by virtually everybody in the business. Read what Walter Trout had to say about meeting him and his treatment of a fan who dared to ask him to sign something in a drum store. There are plenty of demanding band leaders around who can still function as nice guys yet still insist on the highest standards, including people like Steve Via. Rich was a different proposition all together, a very unpleasant individual… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 (edited) I gave it 1m14. I listen to nobody using language like that, unless they have a recognised medical condition. There are ways of expressing oneself other than constant profanities, whatever the grievances. Edited June 7, 2016 by Dad3353 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with posting this particular clip is that there is no context, not that much (IMHO) justifies the language in any case. Why? [/quote] No reason, just seems like getting your butt kicked is accepted more in the US. I could be wrong, maybe the guys here just don't like Buddy's approach or management style. I like it.

If Maple Road's drummer spoke to you in that way, using the same phraseology, you would just take that as inspiration? If so then your right, serious cultural difference!

odysseus Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Like someone else mentioned earlier, I'm unsure of the context. However, if he just came out with "You wanna f**k with me on the bandstand?" in this neck of the woods, there's a strong chance he'd get all 24 frets sunk in him. Being a great musician doesn't give you a free pass to abuse people to that level. But then, we all have different levels of tolerance.... and again... context.
