Phil Collins with The Buddy Rich Big Band Mercy Mercy Mercy.

[Benedictwesson]

We just got given this in our school big band. I've never been so happy in my life :D

[JakeBulldogz]

@Benedictwesson Yes Ben!!

The older tenor rips! hes so hip!

[Gazcarter111]

He's not doing anything to denigrate the piece, the style is just a little too foreign to the scene and although the cat's got chops, he just lacks the subtleness I'm used to. He's playing it very straight and very safe. But I don't blame him, takes guts play with a band with Buddy's style and tenacity ingrained on it.

[MrJazzSaxophonist]

Steve looks a little old to be playing that strong. Not as good as old times though... But still great!

[1WFE3]

It just doesn't sound right with Phil's drumming style.

[203marcos]

I prefer Dave Weckl's version, Phil is playing it too safe and not showing what he is really capable of doing. Phi Collins is a great drummer and I wish more drummers would do what he is doing here. Wouldn't it be great to see a prime time tribute to Buddy Rich like this on television as opposed to the usual crap that is out there right now????

[adentee]

Lets not forget the Dave Weckl performance that set the bill for this number!

stop being downers for god sake there's ppl who couldn't cover a phil or michael jackson song if their lives dependent on it and phils playing tribute to one of his jazz/drummer heroe damn get a life personally he's got great instrumentals of his own right can't stand narrow minded ppl

[frnndogoal]

he's good,, the best way to learn jazz is playin' jazz, maybe he plays too many rock, and he forgot how to play jazz

[simpkal]

personally, i think it's sad that phil collins tried to take buddy rich's spot. nobody can fill his shoes. but great song and band!!

[ceetee21]

@simpkal He's not trying to replace Buddy Rich. He's paying tribute Buddy. Because he 's not playing like Buddy does not mean that his playing is sad.

Phil is being Phil not Buddy!...

[simpkal]

@ceetee21

yeah you're right. my comment came across a little harsh. goes to show how much i miss buddy haha

[ceetee21]

@simpkal It's all good!

[rduffy338]

IS that steve marcus?? :)

[rduffy338]

Phil collins is a good drummer... but still nothing could beat the buddy version!!

[Stratosteven]

They could have gotten a drummer a million times better than phil collins to do this.

[ceetee21]

Really? Yes there are better drummers but not a million times better.

[ryanmooney92]

@Stratosteven watch the version with dave weckl, it's soooo good

[ZeBurck]

@Stratosteven You mean: a drummer...
