Buddy Rich - The Bus Tapes (dialouge only)

One of the greatest drummers who ever lived, Buddy Rich. In a phase of his life when he was prone to aggressive outbursts to his band members on the tour bus. Some of which were secretley recorded. Here are three of those recordings.

Some lines of which including "this guy... he ain't my kinda guy" and "go outside and I'll show you what it's like..." were used in Seinfeld.

You know the more I listen to it the more I think he may actually have a point

[Dane Bjornrud]

This is what it was like. Alot of people think he was a douche, but in all reality this is how it was. if you were a professional. there weren't many bands that toleratted one missed note. benny goodman, chick webb, etc all were pretty strict like that. thats why they were professional. yeah, he was quite a bit more vocal about it haha, but dont hate him cuz of this, its their career, and most of the time, his name

[grai]

wow he's not just a prat he is also really really boring

his drumming was fucking boring too - drum solos should be against the law

[Accordioman]

He was a speed freak. Hopped up on bennies.

"You're through!" :-) 

[cookumms]

he's done wonders for music, but he really is a supreme asshole. I don't know how its possible to deny that.

"Don't tell me what the best chart in my book is."

[Nick Sauve]

You can call him a prick for being so mean to these people. However, you need to look at from Buddy perspective. He wanted to put on a fuckin great show. He couldn't have people fuckin up his preformance, because the people who went to go see him live were paying good fuckin money. I'm with you Buddy. You needed to stand your ground

[vlazable]

Master you are an ignorant anti-semite. You know nothing. You are as stupid and misguided as the worst Nazi skin-head who has ever existed. Hopefully, crowds will piss on your grave. You deserve it.

[ZDogMcSwigee]

... Do you know who this guy is?

[Corey Williams]

Exactly. They fuck up, it doesn't affect their budding careers one bit because nobody knows who they are. It makes Rich look like he settles for sloppiness. Asshole? Sure.. You don't like it, "Get the fuck out!"
