This must have been such a surreal time for James, having to do these interviews regardless of the shitstorm brewing back in London/Wales. It was a really good interview, too. Love him to bits!

Early February 1995. Just after Richey’s disappearance...I can’t even imagine what was going on in his mind at that period. Anyway, what an amazing guy.

I like how the interviewer seems delighted and relieved to be interviewing an intelligent and thoughtful pop star for a change.

Massive respect for this guy. Just massive respect!

This is so rare. Thanks for uploading

I think it's early February 95 in the US. If he says that at that moment he was 25, the dissappearance took place the 1st of February and they had planned the flight for that day, it means that it is early February. James actually took the flight to the US and, as the manager told, he kept ringing to know if Richey came back so he could take the next flight to the US. In this interview James still believes Richey is in the band, he and everyone thought he was just gone for some time for himself and he would appear later on.

it's wild listening to this knowing he was the same age i am now, and already had dealt with so much in life. such a humble, brilliant and gentle soul

Great interview, some wonderful questions to make James feel relaxed and engaged. Really good, wish I knew he was

this is a brilliantly insightful interview

Great interview, it does seem to have been around early 1995 judging by some of the references to the 1994 World Cup and when James' birthday is.

What a refreshing interview 👌

Must be early '95 surely. Great interview.

Great interview. Obscure time period, im guessing early 95 day's before Richey went missing?? Interview for planned American Holy Bible tour..?

Your brilliant at what you do brilliant!

Nice interview with JDB.

The interviewer's response to James saying Nicky is a buzz in bed makes me laugh!

Interesting to hear the Mick Jagger remark 30 years hence, now that JDB is older than Mick was then. Time, it flexes like a whore etc ...

Very odd as James is talking about HB and just being released. Mentions Richey is still in the band. HB released 30/8/94. It's a if it's in feb 95 and JDB went to the US even with Richey missing?? which I wasn't aware of.

Would this be from 95? Seems to be no mention of richey leaving. Im guessing this would be 93 or 94.

I actually didn't know that I had so much in common with James Dean Bradfield.

My god. The Bay City Rollers was my first memory of music too. Not a very good one. They had a TV show in the UK called Shangalang and every time it came on i was scared shitless and used to run out of the living room in hysterics. I was only 2.

Well in this interview, James says he's 25. His birthday is 21/2/69. So this interview will more than likely be 1994. January 95 he wasn't in the US. February 95 he was dealing with richey's disappearance.

From this interview I've deducted that Wales and Kentucky are very, very similar.

Is this Howard stern interviewing or who ? Sounds like him

Oh James. You know nothing about betting on horses until you've been to the Kentucky Derby. I live and Louisville and wowee does it get crazy during derby time.
