Yesterday, before Rocklahoma's show (that was cancelled due to bad weather), Phoenix hosted an LPU chat for the LPU members on VyRT. Due to the bad weather, the video streaming wasn't working, so Phoenix answered the question via his phone in the chat.
Here's the recap:
Phoenix: "Currently close to the venue, hoping the weather calms down so they can play the show." LPU: "Who is your favorite bass player?" Phoenix: "Favorite bass player is prob McCartney!" LPU: "What's your favourite song to play live right now? (Mine's A Line In The Sand)" Phoenix: "A Line in the Sand is my favorite live song right now... Always fun playing new stuf" Phoenix: "Brad is back in action! Chillin' with him right now " LPU: "Are you guys back in the studio?" Phoenix: Always writing... always trying to create LPU: "Will LP ever tour with 30stm again???" Phoenix: "I'd love to at some point. Those guys are great to tour with." LPU: "Are you gonna reschedule the THP tour with Of mice & men?" Phoenix: "Tour can't really be rescheduled, we had to cancel so we could refund tickets" Phoenix: "Having said that, we would love to tour more with OM&M and Rise Against!" LPU: "How many different bass guitars do you have?" Phoenix: "Lots of bases in different spots all over the world, but I have 2 favorites!" LPU: "Favorite music genre?" Phoenix: "I've never been a genre guy... I actually think genres are only helpful in a store setting" LPU: "will you get an apple watch?" Phoenix: "Apple watch... Not sure I'm on board with that. I'm interested in it, but not sold yet" LPU: "How long do you rehearse a new song before playing it live?" Phoenix: "Depends on the song. We try to all come to rehearsal knowing the new song, and then figuring out... The arrangement. But different songs are more challenging to figure out how to play live... for example, Blackout was a bit of a monster!" LPU: "How's your relationship with Siri? lol" Phoenix: "Siri and I generally are on good terms, but we have communication issues" LPU: "Did you attend Coachella?" Phoenix: "I've never gonne" LPU: "how many hours a day do you sleep?" Phoenix: "Somewhere between 2 and 8 depending on circumstances Emoticon grin" LPU: "when are you guys coming back to usa?" Phoenix: "We are in the US right now!" LPU: "This !" Phoenix: "Costa Rica looks nice!" (When asked about his favorite metal band) LPU: "Instead of it being a rubber band, it's made out of metal." Phoenix: "I like this!" LPU: "Batman or superman?" Phoenix: "Batman for sure. So much cooler. But Superman would win in a fight, no contest" LPU: "What do you think of Jared being the new Joker?" Phoenix: "I think it's going to be awesome! Can't wait to see it!" LPU: "Best moment of 2014?" Phoenix: "My chat from 2014"
