look up the joke online about one of his old trumpet play that calls his wife to ask if he;w there and she tells him he's dead.. !

Buddy was one of a kind as a drummer. But a huge asshole.

A master as he was, isn’t always right. The beauty of music doesn’t have to be complexity

Multitalented

what a wanker, he might have been a great drummer but he had a ways to go in terms of learning to treat people with respect, especially someone as talented as glen campbell

Harris's crowds are homeless , showing up for a promised cheese sandwich . They never got it .

Arrogant prick

He was advertising these guys simultaneous with being honest that it wasnt his cup of tea. I 've actually read Love Story; instead of being grumpy about someones First Amendment-consider where music <and culture > have gone. Rap is no better than country to the ears of someone who can distinguish certain things. A kid like myself will sit on the kitchen floor with a pseudo-drum kit and the mother lets him. Now-i grow up and my father and grandfather were musicians...i wouldnt dare approach the creative aspect of anything that B7ddy is talking about here. But I would be far more inclined to write a Love Story than smut...all he did was identify layers and tastes. I eat smell pray whats right to me. Buddy is sharing and is seemingly obstinate-hes just talkin.A conversation that makes you think makes one inevitably look at what they consider the hi and low. He was just personal about it. Hes brushed shoulders with Chet Atkins but who would know that? Now around 3:00 Agent 99 tried to get in there and show some support but here he was certainly rude, whether you call it machismo or misogynist it was rude. Still...thought-provoking...

Yep, Buddy could be a jerk. As great as he was, there were a lot of people who didn't want to work with him -- which is why he HAD to have his own band.

All the butt hurt country fans in the comments.

I didn’t know DEVO was around in 1970.

I agree with Buddy a hundred percent. I listened to a lot of Alan Jackson and Eddie Rabbit and even though I don’t play guitar, I could play all their songs on guitar. (Without the guitar solos included).

barely an insult tbh

Shitting on Atkins and Campbell... Buddy could play the drums but he clearly hasnt a clue about playing the guitar

Wow....what a complete a-hole thing to say. Good music can come from any genre, and so can music that sucks.

Why is he fapping in background

He loses whatever small amount of credibility he has when he uses Love Story as an example of great filmmaking

For all his explosive virtuosity he never did anything as wonderful as Glen Campbell singing Wichita Lineman. Glen Campbell was one of the of the all time great guitar players as well. People like Buddy Ric, Frank Zappa and others have all this technical ability but they just miss something essential as to what music is really all about.

Damn Wayne newton been doing it a long time

Massive talent. Massive twat. Bad wig

Jerry Reed is Chet 2.0

Chet Atkins can play any style of music,Buddy Rich can not!Buddy Rich is an idiot!

This is so cool. What a master singer and picker!

Unlike Buddy Rich, I believe the country sound is one of the best forms of music. Artists like Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson and Hank Williams are among the true innovators of country.

What an enjoyable performance 👍

He's full of crap

Who is buddy rich? Anyone that would have the audacity to be in public with that hair has no right to criticize anything or anyone

The world is better without this asshole in it. FU buddy rich.

What a pompous ass!

Jazz is moronic when compared to the best opera but ...

Everything that Buddy Rich said in this show, makes sense. However to actually comprehend what Buddy was saying, it's probably difficult, if not impossible, for people with no comprehension of music theory. Buddy was right, but he's spoke to people, in TV land, who, for the most part, couldn't understand what he's actually saying.

I’m a huge fan of Buddy’s talent. He was truly an icon of the drums in the genre of jazz. I always heard he was one of the biggest pricks on the planet to deal with in a band situation. This interview totally confirmed his arrogance and ignorance with a huge degree of snobbishness about other genres of music. I was totally embarrassed when he started slagging Chet Atkins to George Lindsay who was probably a cast member of the country music variety show “Hee Haw” at the timeframe of this interview. To degrade Chet and Glen Campbell as musicians totally shows Buddy’s ignorance and proves he hated what they played so much he overlooked on how well they could play it. I wonder what he would of thought of guys that came later like Brent Mason, Albert Lee, Jack Pearson, Tom Bukovac, Johnny Hiland………..and the number of other country guitarists who can flat out play jazz, blues, rock and country. Buddy seems like he was a miserable, opinionated narcissistic tyrannical bandleader from the 40’s that didn’t change at all with the times. From all accounts Benny Goodman was another miserable bandleader who was brilliant like Buddy but not very tolerant. I never heard of Benny bashing other genres of music though. Geez Buddy, it wasn’t like country just appeared all of the sudden like disco did in the 70’s that irritated a lot of music lovers. Hank Williams was well known all over the country and on top of the charts in the late 1940’s. I’m thinking there is more to this man’s dislike of country music than we’ll ever know.

Jerry Reed's existence demolishes this argument

What a horrible man. Glen could outplay anyone.

He's delusional. His first example of progression in music is the fake moon landing.

Buddy Rich was a snob....thank god for punk.

Jazz is garbage

A bit Rich coming from a guy who played one of the most primitive and unimproved instruments known to man.

I hate Buddy Rich. A New York City guy knows nothing about country music or the feeling behind it. Country music is about soul and emotion. Buddy is a wanna-be. Eff him.

Nobody says anything about his wig??

How arrogant can a person be to tell other people what they should like.

This is an elitist

He's not wrong, I like most music except country and rap. I don't think it's even in question what he would have to say about rap music if he was alive today. Probably would say exactly this. I mean what even is country music anyway, besides just cowboy chords, rednecks and trucks?😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Regardless of how great a drummer he was, he obviously was small minded when it came to music appreciation and somehow was limited in understanding that just because it is simple to you (Buddy), this does not equate with just how talented many musicians are and can be. Case in point with the link below. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5Scd4uiipd8jc0

He would probably be a Biden voter these days and never say what he said about 'hillbillies' and country music about Rap and Hip Hop. Best drummer ever but a twat of a human.

Good music is whatever sounds good to you. You don't need a PhD to recognize what sounds good, all you need is to be able to hear it... And anyone who tells you different is a fool!

I love music. I admire buddy. I don't agree with him.

Buddy Wretch never wrote a single piece of music his entire career, unlike the country musicians he's slamming.

Gosh this reminds me of me back in the day. As a classical musician, I used to judge my friends' musical tastes and felt superior to other musicians. A pure A-hole when I was young Lol. I'm so glad I grew over that and now enjoy a wide variety of genres and I won't be disrespectful if it's not my cup of tea.. As Les Paul said The audience, they're not professionals. They just love music. It isn't necessary to play over their heads to be admired.

Buddy would have a heart attact if he heard today's "music" !
