Bad Company drummer Simon Kirke on “Feel Like Makin’ Love.” OC:…auditorium alive. :17
“’Feel Like Makin’ Love’ was a marriage of a country and western song and a heavy riff and it actually won Paul and Mick a songwriters award in 1975. Still one of the best songs we do live and if we refused to do it on stage we probably wouldn’t be allowed to leave the auditorium alive.”
