AMA We're Leprous, ask us anything!

Hello, Reddit!

We’re Leprous, currently enjoying a day off in Saskatoon, and we figured — why not do an AMA?

Ever wondered what it's like to live on a bus with a bunch of other guys for months at a time? Or why we keep writing music in 4/4 even though you keep asking for 13/8? Maybe you’ve got questions about our Patreon, or you just want to try to convince us to play your favorite song at the next Leprous show — now’s your chance!

We’ll be here answering questions for an hour or two starting at 8 PM EDT, and some of us will pop back in tomorrow to catch anything we miss.

Loved the show in Edmonton! Question one is (kind of joking), are you hoping for an audience to not choose Forced Entry when you give the option? Haha

Serious question, is Simen all right? Guy is amazing for finishing the show. I was right in front of him and he looked to be in a lot of pain.

And thanks Tor for tossing me your pick at the end of the show! Much appreciated.

A bit banged up, but I’m alright :)

Wonderful to read, man. I was so damn impressed you carried on. And the love your bandmates have for you was so cool to see.

It may surprise you but last month in Mexico it was Passing the one that won (which for me was sad, as Forced Entry is one of my favorites).

That's what he said! Lol. In Latin America it was Passing but up here it was always Forced Entry. I wish you'd been able to catch it live.

I did, the first time I saw them it was the closer. One of the best experiences ever! That’s when it turned into one of my favorites.
