Oh Please..I agree but attitudes also can cost talented people more fans. I'm with you that it's immaterial. However others do think differently when they see the person not performing. Mariah Carey is or can be great singer for example, but loses a lot of fans due to her demeanor behind the scenes. And the way Buddy Rich spoke to his band members in later years was terrible allegedly. Hardly professional. But yes, we agree on a personal basis about the musical experience. I wouldnt want Mariah Carey with my brother though. Or even sister.

@@125sloth Mariah lost fans when she was blatantly lip synching, and then tried to play it off. I get it.... I'm a fan of Billy Joel, but when he became hugely successful, he essentially fired bandmates who never did him wrong, and certainly backed him up professionally. I always remind myself that if it weren't for egos in music, we probably wouldn't have musicians.

Very true, he was far from a nice person, which is why no matter how good he was, many people put Lou Bellson, Joe Morello, Krupa etc. above him, mainly because they were basically nice people, as well as gret drummers. rich was great, no doubt about that, but when you are arrogant, and knock other kinds of music except jazz, which he was good at, then people soon lose respect. Rich hated country music, I am no big fan either, but Rich came out and said how "anyone could play it". and he wasn't referring to drums but any instrument. That lost him quite a few fans.

@@MrFchank Buddy Rich got a bad rap for more than just being demanding of his band. He had poor communication skills, or maybe CHOSE to appear he did. Either way he was arrogant, full of himself,, and no matter how good you are, people will go "off" you, if you choose to carry on like you are better than anyone else.That is human nature sadly for some people. Louis Bellson was the opposite, as was Krupa. They had respect for others and did not need to be demanding in nature like Rich. The same could be said of many singers. sinatra was an arrogant man, tertaed many people just like Rich did. no need at all for it. Mariah Carey today, very similar also.These sorts of people forget how they got to where they are.OK maybe from dario and TV first, but they did have fans as well. But they also lost fans due to their rudeness. Absoultely no need for it. Toney Bennett summed it up well a while back, long before he sytarted going downhill from dementia. He said the in the entertainment industry, the word "celebrity" is badly overused, and some are not worthy of the title. He did not consider himself any sort of celebrity and was uncomfortable being called one. he said the only real celebrities are the doctors and nurses, paramedics and police, who keep us safe and healthy, the teachers who teach our grandkids, along with many others, One thing is for certain, Buddy rich could never be as humble as that.

Nice or not it's his drumming that he is famous for, but , all the slobbering hero worship is , to my mind , misplaced , yes he was a showman but his playing was predictable and not very creative , he was rooted in the forties and did not progress from that time , good though that was , Morello, Elvin and jo Jones plus Chick web were innovators , Shadow Wilson also . Buddy , for all his brilliance was predictive , great drummer but not the most musical. I know that my analysis will not sit well with the fan boys but on the numerous times I saw him , speed , power and flash was the order not musicality.

@@RobinJericho That is very true. Long before Tommy Lee.

I've always admired Buddy Rich. But I've always appreciated most of the drummers I've played gigs with. Everything they did was to enhance or support the tune that was being played. They knew how to support the horns in the beginning of a phrase or lead into a solo by the trumpet or sax. An especially educational solo was done by Buddy Rich on the Tonight Show w/Johnny Carson. Buddy was introduced and came out to sit at his drum set, center stage, and tap tap tap tap with one stick, faster and faster until it was a one stick roll, an incredibly fast single stick roll. From there he introduced other elements, other drums, cymbals, high hat, bass drum and it was all without a break in rhythm. It was a masterful demonstration by the master drummer. Doc's band did join in with a final chord.

"I saw him in middle school and it was like a magic act." So true. Buddy did things that just defied logic. For example, the left hand single strokes - a one-handed roll basically, starting at about 1:53

Had the privilege of seeing Buddy back in the early '80s. He played a 10 minute solo without hitting a single drum head. He played every shell, every horn and the stage, but never hit a skin.

I've heard a story involving Buddy and Sinatra. Both had been playing at a concert/event and the day after someone at the place's staff found a broken jacket. One of the musicians then said "oh, it was just Frank and Buddy who got into a fight with eachother but they are now friends again!"

A force for the ages.I've been drumming many years,I've seen all the greats live, and many others that do not get any recognition.I saw Buddy live 2 times, and one of them was at his club Buddys in NYC. I was 10 or 12 feet away. At the time I was 24 years of age and I thought at that time I knew what I was doing drumming wise. Well as you probably know I was K.O'd in the 1st few seconds this man started playing. Seeing this man in person is probably the most humbling experience a drummer can have, from the speed, power, technique ,perfection ,melodies and the pursuit of being flawless. I've seen Lang, Cobham, Baker, Williams, Chambers Donati, Weckl, Coliuata Heratio Hernandez, Elise and on and on. And these men are truly incredible. After going to see Buddy live I knew then that even if I was able to duplicate what he was playing I would not be Buddy, and that the only real thing to do was concentrate on being myself, with that said, this is the man that set the bar, and continues to be the master of all masters. Man he is GREATLY MISSED.
