Simon Kirke | The Magnificent Others with Billy Corgan

Video Description

Billy Corgan sits down with Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Simon Kirke (Free, Bad Company) for a sharp, funny, and revealing dive into 50 years of rock majesty. Simon traces his journey from growing up in poverty to the lightning-bolt moment drums grabbed him, the fateful coin flip that led him to Paul Kossoff and the creation of “All Right Now,” and then to forming Bad Company with Paul Rodgers and Mick Ralphs. Together, they dive into the grooves of Stax vs. Motown, the genius of Al Jackson Jr., Ringo Starr, and Charlie Watts, and the art of serving the song rather than showing off chops. Along the way, Simon shares stories about Jimmy Page, John Bonham, Steve Marriott, and Queen. It’s a masterclass in rock history and rhythm. #simonkirke #billycorgan #badcompany Listen to the Show on all Podcast Apps "The Magnificent Others with Billy Corgan" https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-magnificent-others-with-billy-corgan/id1793783665?i=1000689358669 Subscribe to the YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@BillyCorganTMO?sub_confirmation=1 Follow Billy: https://www.facebook.com/BillyCorgan https://x.com/Billy https://www.instagram.com/billycorgan Follow The SmashingPumpkins https://x.com/smashingpumpkin
