It does not matter if he is drunk or stoned or not, Jim wrote them as good as Lennon, Mc Cartney or Bowie or whoever. One of the greatest musicians ever, ridiculously underrated.
I've seen this interview before... it's been altered to make Jim sound off his head. Very clever too, and very funny. Jim Lea was the unsung soul of Slade and a terrifyingly good bassist. Childhood hero and still is.
Did you do the sound alterations? They really were clever. Yep - Jim's the man all right! Quiet genius. Is "Whild" a reference to Jim's middle name, out of interest? - Carl
thanks for the comment. yes I've made that all edition :) that's what we do a lot in Finland, edit the videos lol. I've been a huge fan of Jimmy Lea 6 years!! I like to use his name 'Whild' as my nickname, also in my band as a stage name ;)
Video makes him seem more of an Acid Tripper than a boozer. Haha!

Extremely good tempo shift, just enough to make him sound drunk but not enough to give the game away... until the music comes in. ;-)
