I know he was the pay check, but good lord people getting way angrier than they need to is funny. Trust a drummer to think the audience even notices let alone gives a shit.

Actually, if you were truly "in the know", then you would know that Buddy Rich, in the jazz world, actually was just a drummer. It is no secret, and you can look this up for yourself, but in his prime, Buddy Rich was outmatched by many other drummers who had less notoriety simply because they were black. Tony Williams and Elvin Jones, for instance, were clearly better drummers and were certainly more influential than Buddy Rich in the jazz world. In fact, Buddy Rich's influence in modern jazz was significantly minimal. If you try and look up any specific contributions made by the man, outside of promoting jazz, and a few albums, his individual accomplishments to the genre were slim to none. Buddy Rich was a talk show drummer! I am not knocking the man, it is what it is. Buddy did the talk show circuit showing up on shows like Johnny Carson and Merv Griffin and that's how he really became a household name. However, back in the real jazz world, Buddy Rich would hardly register. Sure, there is no question that the guy could drum, I am not taking that away from the man, but he was certainly far from the greatest...He wasn't even the greatest among his peers, much less, of all time.

Because of the flawed dialogue of Frank and his facial expression when he said that line, I always thought he flubbed his lines and played through it convincingly in a funny way. Now that I know it was intentionally written that way, I gotta give him more props for saying it so natural and casually.

What makes the Buddy Rich tapes so funny is his way of talking. Buddy lived music so single-mindedly and completely that he actually spoke in musical rhythms. so it makes sense that comedians, who are also interested in the timing and rhythms of speech, would find the tapes so interesting and entertaining. Buddy rich just personified timing and rhythm. He was an absolute genius.

I saw the Buddy Rich big band while I was in college. About 2/3 through the show, he stood up and berated the audience for what he perceived to be a lackluster response to the performance.

I had the great good fortune, back in my junior high days, to take drum lessons with a guy who was a friend of Buddy’s. After Buddy’s Big Band show at a local high school auditorium we got on the tour bus because we were invited there. We knew about what we might hear… but the show was so good that Buddy was in a good mood, and the bus was a very happy place. The only guy Buddy laid into that evening was the piano player, and it was nothing like the tirades we’d been warned to expect.

His wife: "Oh, I'm sorry, Buddy died..." The musician said "Oh, thank you Ms. Rich, I just wanted to hear it one more time."

I agree. Buddy would only get angry when he knew someone in his band was not playing at the top of his game, because it would show, and Buddy wouldn't stand for it. If you did play your best, that would show also, and Buddy would definitely appreciate it. He just wanted his band to be the best it could be every night, and he just would not stand for guys who'd rather go through the motions, because any sort of mediocrity like that would drive him crazy.

"Big Mack" is my favorite Buddy Rich track. His rants were hilarious btw.

In 1939 Rich joined the Dorsey band, leaving in 1942 to join the United States Marine Corps, in which he served as a judo instructor and never saw combat. He was discharged in 1944 for medical reasons. After leaving the Marines, he returned to the Dorsey band.

I was in the 26th US Army Band from Fort Hamilton in Brooklyn. It was 1986 when I first hear those tapes. Several of us went up to the Village one night to see Buddy and his band; it was about nine months before he passed on, I think, sometime in the summer of 1986. I had heard the tapes about a month prior to this. We ended up getting two tables right near the bandstand on Buddy's end. It was cramped, so I think it was at the Blue Note. I can't remember. Whatever. As we got drunk we started shouting out lines from the tape. "FLUTES! NEW SOUNDS! NO TIME!" and "WHAT THE HELL YOU GUYS THINK I'M PAYING YOU FOR?" and "YOU CAN TAKE MANHATTAN AND GET THE HELL OFF MY BUS!" I think Buddy knew of these tapes. If he didn't, after we were finished that night I am sure he spoke with the band about recording him. Heads probably rolled. Buddy always coaked himself in this image of a real sweetheart of a guy, and Dave decided to let the world know who Buddy Rich really was. I am glad he did. I hate phoneys.
