Do You Really Care?

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***

For reference purposes a "clam" is a bad note.

Comments?

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.

I learned a lot from this clip. Committnent and getting stuff right.

No slacking off.

I wish I had someone kicking my butt like Buddy.

Each to their own!! 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)!

I saw an interview with Bootsy Collins being asked 'what was it like working for James Brown?'. Collins replied that 'It was like being in the army'.

You really wouldn’t…!

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…

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.

When the band was "on" he was very generous with compliments.

I think There a little cultural difference here.

Me, Buddy is what a lot of guys need. A good kick in the butt.

That's one incident. Our drummer met him and he said Buddy was totally cool and he got an autograph and a pair of sticks.

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.

I'd work on my chops and the material.

How very gracious of him.

The problem with posting this particular clip is that there is no context, not that much (IMHO) justifies the language in any case.



Why?

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.

Isn't the context that that band had just played a crap set. And that shouldn't happen at that level.

I hear no HATE,only passion and respect for the art.

You must be joking.

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!

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.
