The Magnificent Others with Billy Corgan · Simon Kirke | The Magnificent Others with Billy Corgan · 19 Nov 2025 podcast

So when we played a little club called the Blue Angel in Surrey, and two nights later we walk into this and we hear Bonnie and Delaney doing a soundcheck, because it was free Bonnie and Delaney in blindfold.

And I saw Jim Keltner, the first real drummer.

So we did three or four shows.

And one night, we'd done our little set, and one roadie came and he said, Eric wants to come in.

I said, what do you mean, Eric Clapton?

That Eric.

Yeah.

He said, is that all right?

I said, are you kidding me?

Of course.

So he walks in, he goes up the cast, he said, you know, pats him on the back, he said, how do you do that vibrato?

And Kostas says, you're kidding me.

The greatest guitarist in the world.

And you're asking, yeah, you do it so slowly.

So they start talking guitar speak.

And, you know, we're just like, and I think that's when I realized, God, Kostas really is good.

Yeah, yeah.

And then, of course, once I got playing guitar myself, I realized just how good he was.

Well, he's soloing All Right Now.

Rolling Stone, they have the greatest- I have a story for you on that.
