Rich may have had an exaggerated opinion of his ability as a band leader. When I heard him, I thought his band was too much about his own solos. Somewhere in one of his tirades, he says something along the lines of "the people are paying to hear me play, not you". But imo that says as much about his ability as a band leader as it does about his ability as a drummer, his ego, or anything else.
