# Buddy Rich

Bernard "Buddy" Rich (September 30, 1917 – April 2, 1987) was an American jazz drummer.

## Quotes

* Music will always be young.
** To Michael Parkinson in 1987 on Parkinson One to One (ITV).
* If you don't have ability, you wind up playing in a rock band.
* [N]ow keep your fuckin' mouth shut or I'll show you what it's like!
* Then see what kind of a band you got up there, without all the assistance.
* You're not my kind of people, at all.

## Quotes about Buddy Rich

* If there is one jazz drummer who can truly claim to have influenced a tsunami of rock’n’roll musicians, it’s Buddy Rich. Despite surfacing from the golden age of jazz, the New York City-born drummer’s awe-inspiring solos predicted a future in which time-keepers ventured beyond the backbeat with improvisatory fills and ultra-busy drum patterns. The beauty of Rich’s playing is that he made drums the star of the show without ripping up the rhythmic roots of his brass section. Officially the only drummer to beat Animal on The Muppet Show (yes, seriously!), Rich’s sheer power and showmanship inspired the likes of Led Zeppelin’s John Bonham, Queen’s Roger Taylor and Black Sabbath’s Bill Ward, all of whom tried to emulate their hero’s mix of uncompromising ferocity and jazz-influenced professionalism. Easily one of the best drummers of any era, Buddy Rich was a legend in his own time.
** Luke Edwards of Dig! (March 6, 2024)
* He was one of the greatest drummer to ever play the instrument. He had the probably the greatest hands ever, and played with fire and tenacity unmatched by none. Could have played double bass if he wanted, and there are pictures, but he didn't need it, he was that good! And no one f*cked with him on the bandstand!
** Jason Bittner of Shadows Fall, Category 7 and Overkill, as quoted by Consequence
* I saw Buddy play live (and stood about 20 feet from him every time) about three or four times when I was very young. It was always utterly jaw dropping. I still watch and listen to him on a regular basis. His presence on the drums and his command of the instrument was second to none. I’ve always referred to him as “the Rolls Royce of drumming."
** Josh Freese of Foo Fighters and A Perfect Circle, as quoted by Consequence

* Oh but Sweet Tooth was happy, and... whenever he got lonely for human companionship, or human FLESH, all he had to do was look up, and dream of the day when he would crawl out of the garden and back into the world of man.
* Krista! I thought you had died! In the car crash that almost killed me! You're alive! (reads label on one of the gears in Krista's head) Property of the L.A.P.D.?

# Jaco Pastorius

Jaco Pastorius (December 1, 1951 – September 21, 1987) was a jazz bassist and composer remembered for his style and technique on fretless bass.

## Quotes

* I had an upright — it took me years and years to get enough bread to get it... I'm from Florida, so one morning I woke up, go in the corner and the bass is in a hundred pieces, cause the humidity is so bad, I mean, the upright just blew up. I said forget it, man, I can't afford this any more. So I went out, got a knife and took all the frets out of my Fender. That was it.
** Quoted in Michele Norris, "Jaco Pastorius: 20 Years Later," NPR: All Things Considered (September 21, 2007)

### Modern Electric Bass, Jaco Pastorius (1985)

* Give me a gig!
* I was playing drums, and I had broken my wrist very bad playing football, and the bass player in the band... he wanted to split. So I just went to the bass; I went from Drums over to Bass. That was it. I was playing the bass within a week.
** On how he switched from drums to bass
* I took the frets out of my bass after I was getting into jazz a lot and I wanted to have that upright sound.
** On why he played a fretless bass
* I never practiced a fretless ever, because the strings eat the neck up. So I would only play it on gigs.

## Quotes about Jaco Pastorius

* Saying Pastorius is the greatest jazz-based bassist of all time would not be a stretch. Unfortunately, Pastorius' off-stage demons seemed to get in the way of sustaining that greatness. In addition to his drug addiction, Pastorius dealt with bipolar disorder and harbored a nasty temper. Pastorius, who collaborated with the likes of Joni Mitchell and Ian Hunter, died in 1987 at 35 due to injuries suffered in a bar fight, ending a celebrated musical career where his innovative funk harmonies on the electric bass are still an influence on bassists to this day.
** Jeff Mezydlo of Yardbarker (February 2025)
* A fiery and muscular player, Jaco Pastorius, who passed away in 1987 at the age of 35, remains one of the most influential electric bassists in jazz. His 1975 self-titled debut album is hailed by some as the best jazz bass album ever; it should be required listening for any aspiring bass player, especially his interpretation of Charlie Parker's "Donna Lee," or his harmonic work on "Continuum" and "Portrait of Tracy." Pastorius used to say he was the greatest bass player in the world, and dude could back it up with his virtuosic abilities.
** Jon Solomon of Westword (November 14, 2013)
# Gene Hoglan

Gene Hoglan (born August 31, 1967) is an American drummer, acclaimed for his creativity in drum arrangements, including use of abstract devices for percussion effects and his trademark lengthy double-kick drum rhythms. Though his playing style is very technically demanding, he retains high accuracy at extreme tempos, earning him the nicknames "The Atomic Clock" and "Human Drum Machine".
Hoglan has played for numerous metal bands across his career. He first established himself as the drummer of Dark Angel in the 1980s, and began to expand his repertoire in the early 1990s after that band split up. Since then, he has played for Death, Strapping Young Lad and the solo projects of its frontman Devin Townsend, Fear Factory, Dethklok and Testament, amid two Dark Angel reunions and participation in several other side projects. He released his own album, the Gene Hoglan: The Atomic Clock DVD, and served as Testament's longest-serving drummer.

## Quotes

* I remember on the 'adorable little riff tape' that Chuck (Schuldiner) sent me, this tune was pretty much ready to go. It didn't require any transposing on my part to make it any heavier.
* Now, this instance is possibly captured on the DVD, but as you may notice in the verses, I don't catch the hi-hat conventionally with my foot, I use my hands to catch it. I wanted to have the kick land under the snare yet still have the choked hi-hat on the same beat, and at that time, that kick drum would have been my left, which would obviously be my hi-hat choking foot. So, my only alternative was to do a hi-hat choke manually with my left hand. And you know what? In the long run, it probably didn't make a damn bit of difference. The hand chokes are not all that 'chokey', and the kick under the whole shebang doesn't really make it any more powerful.
* Hey, remember when I said that I'm up for challenges? Apparently that runs to the 'self-inflicted' as well.
* The neato thing about this version is that I didn't even know that there was an extra two minutes of jam at the end until I'm getting filmed playing it! Apparently we played it that long on the original, but I definitely don't remember it. Hell, I'm too busy remembering Overactive Vaginas, Donald Tardy's and hi-hat chokings to remember long extendo-jams.
* Again, there was no reviewing of anything before tracking the DVD, so on that filmed take, I'm actually surprised that this tune is not ending like, two bars after where the album's fade happens. Hence, me going way off the riff, 'cause with no click, there's really nothing to follow except for Chuck's random two-note progression. Ah well, warts and all is how I likes to brings it to ya. And don't forget, with zero prep either. Jeez Hoglan, get it together next time, will ya?"

## Quotes about Gene Hoglan

* Gene Hoglan’s resume is that of an ever evolving, world class, prime mover of the heavy metal genre. Talk to most of the top metal drummers today, and the large percentage will cite Gene Hoglan as a major influence in their development.
** Ash Pearson of Drumeo (May 3, 2023)
# Travis Barker

Travis Landon Barker (born November 14, 1975) is an American musician and producer, best known as the drummer for the rock band Blink-182.

## Quotes

* Honestly, ever since I found this way of eating I have endless amounts of energy. I can go all day, and after it all I never find myself getting tired. No matter what kind of shows I have done, or workouts I do on top of it, I still have to force myself to sleep at night. … Right from the first time that I started to really eat vegan I could feel how much it was affecting me. John Salley … always told me how the players who ate that way outperformed the others. I started to see that results for myself as well.
** "Blink 182's Travis Barker: Why I'm Vegan", interview with Men's Journal (March 2017).

## Quotes about Travis Barker

* Travis Barker has a creativity to create a signature sound and represent himself by specific beats that anyone might play and say, “That’s a Travis beat." And there's his overall creativity behind the kit, using different parts of drums the typical drummer wouldn’t think of incorporating with a style most would stay more straight forward on. His aesthetic is to create such a visual representation behind the kit as a drummer and bring the back of the stage to the front spotlight and to take it to new heights.
** Maty Madiro of From Ashes to New

# Alessandra Martines

Alessandra Martines (born 19 September 1963 in Rome) is an Italian-French dancer and actress.

## Quotes

* [Mi manca] il calore delle persone [italiane]: c’è una grande facilità nella comunicazione, mentre i francesi non sono così estroversi. D’altra parte, in Francia c’è una grande vivacità nel mondo del cinema: si producono almeno duecento film all’anno e le occasioni di lavoro sono moltissime. Purtroppo non c’è paragone col cinema italiano.
* [I miss] the warmth of the [Italian] people: it is very easy to communicate with them, while the French are not such extroverts. On the other hand, there is a vibrant film industry in France: at least two hundred films are produced there, and the job opportunities are many. Unfortunately, the Italian film industry does not compare.
** Alessandra Martines: Ho una vita da favola ma mi manca l'Italia, March 18 2005.
* [Claude Lelouch] m’a toujours dit : «Madame, vous serez ma veuve!» Je l’ai épousé en croyant qu’il avait forcément appris quelque chose de la vie. Erreur totale: il se marie et fait des enfants comme on boit un verre d’eau! … Claude est un homme à l’ego surdimensionné. Comme il veut toujours rester maître des situations, il se comporte comme un dictateur et tout le monde se met au garde à vous et lui donne raison. Moi, au contraire, je lui ai toujours dit la vérité...
* [Claude Lelouch] has always told me : "Madame, you shall be my widow!" I married him thinking that he had learned something from life. Big mistake: he gets married and sires children like he drinks a glass of water! … Claude is a man with an oversized ego. Just as he wishes to always be the master of the situation, he acts like a dictator and everyone has to agree with him. I, on the contrary, always told him the truth...
** L'ex-femme de Claude Lelouch se livre dans Gala, Gala.fr, August 2009.
* Ne sono lusingata, ma ripeto: non è il mio paese a darmela. In Italia, chi si fa valere all'estero non viene considerato.
* I am overjoyed, but I repeat: it is not my country which awards me. In Italy, those who make a name for themselves in other countries are ignored.
** On being awarded with L'Ordre national du Mérite (National Order of Merit) from Nicolas Sarkozy, as quoted in Alessandra Martines: Parigi premia il mio talento ma l'Italia spesso mi ignora, Corriere della Sera, (8-26-2008).
* Pure in Francia è un ambiente tradizionalmente schierato a sinistra e fa molto chic essere anti-Sarkozy. Ma la cosiddetta "sinistra-caviale", cioè quella snob con la puzza sotto il naso, mi fa schifo, è ipocrita.
* Even in France, politics are traditionally left-wing and it is fashionable to be anti-Sarkozy. But the so called "caviar-left", that is, the snobbish, stiff upper-lipped kind disgusts me, it is hypocritical.

# Cookie

A cookie (American English) or biscuit (British English) is a small, sweet baked snack typically made from flour, sugar, butter, and eggs, with additional ingredients like chocolate chips, nuts, or raisins.

## Quotes

* We need what we need. Judging ourselves doesn’t change it. Sometimes a hug and a cookie right now mean more than a grand gesture at some indeterminate point in the future.
** Elizabeth Bear, Deriving Life (2019). Reprinted in Neil Clarke (ed.), The Best Science Fiction of the Year Volume 5, p. 136
* When we think of classic American desserts, we tend to imagine apple pie and ice cream. However, the most classic American dessert of all might be the chocolate chip cookie.
** Homaro Cantu, "Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Made Tableside". HuffPost (April 4, 2013).
* C is for cookie, that's good enough for me
** Cookie Monster, "C Is For Cookie", 1971
* There is no aroma quite so inviting as that of cookies baking, whether ginger or chocolate or caramel. And there is no snack quite so satisfying as two or three fresh-from-the-oven cookies with a cool glass of milk. Nor is there a gift quite so welcome as a lovingly wrapped package from home, brimming with cookies.
** Betty Crocker, Betty Crocker's Cooky Book. Golden Press. 1963. p. 3.
* Say "cookie?" to a small child (or a middle-aged man for that matter) and for your efforts you will receive (a) an instant sigh of pleasure followed by (b) an outstretched palm. A petition I have learned over the years: to reward at once with something sweet and crunchy or take the consequences. For nothing in the culinary lexicon with the exception of vanilla ice cream elicits such an immediate response or such an audible demand as a cookie. Whether the question is posed in English, French, Greek, German, or Swahili!

** Dylan Moran, "This much I know". The Guardian (March 7, 2004).
* "Kids and cookies are inseparable," my Granny Rom used to say. Like my mom, who often repeated that phrase, I certainly agree. Based on a lifetime of baking cookies—not to mention eating cookies—I would also like to add that cookies bring out the kid in all of us.
