    I hate standing behind Dbags that take pics and vids the whole time.

    Its almost as bad as someone taking a picture of themselves and using it for their avatar! :lol:

    i'm a handsome man- at least that's what my mom tells me :lol:

    Funny, she told me I'm a handsome man too...

    Seriously though... for the life of me I can't figure out how someone can truly enjoy themselves at a concert when they're standing still filming it on their phone, only moving to yell at people for bumping them. If you want a few pics, that's fine - but holding a camera up in the air above your head to video a song is a pain in the ass to the people behind you trying to, you know, see the band...
    And I listen for the voice inside my head... nothing. I'll do this one myself.

    Look, here's the deal:

    It you snap an occasional photo or take a short vid...I'm OK with that. Just don't effect my listening/viewing experience but constandly flashing or holding the cam above your head. That infringes on my rights, man.

    unless the camera is in your face for the entire show or the drunk person is peeing on your leg, people need to chill out and not worry so much about how other people are choosing to enjoy their shows. :roll:

    just wannta throw that out there. :mrgreen:


    runs away and hides

    Does it really bother you if I like to take photos, which i share online with other fans? or if, rather than singing along to every song at the top of my lungs, i just like to chill out and enjoy the music? (yes, i do stand the whole time). I dont care what anyone does at the show, so long as they can avoid spilling beer on me and remember to use the restroom rather than the floor under my seat!

    I’m not bothered if you want to take photos - so long as you’re not in front of me, holding your camera above your head the entire show so that all I see is your glowing little viewfinder rather than being able to see what’s actually going on on the stage. ;)

    I'm in my own little world at a PJ concert. A bomb could go off and I probably wouldn't know it. The time goes by way too fast and I want so to remember it all that I can't care about the people around me. Its me and PJ and I agree, thank you to the people who post on youtube, those who are sharing, I'm loving it.

    i think a drunken asshole is just as distracting as a texting/photo taking/vid making prick.


    look at driving- would you rather drive drunk or text? it's more dangerous to text/surf the net/take pics/make videos than driving drunk.


    i'm not saying, i'm just saying.

    Not living in the moment is far more dangerous...so enjoy the face-melting behind-the-back solo that Mike's dropping. Take a quick pic of it if you feel so inclined. Video that bad mo' fo' if you need to...just PLEASE don't hold it up over your head so it blocks my rockin' the fack out experience.

    Cool?

    I prefer to rock out, but I am definitely grateful for those that record for fellow fan enjoyment. So far, I haven't had my view obstructed, so I don't have a problem. On the other hand, if it did obstruct my view.... :evil:

    I took my phone out in Philly to call my friend whose favorite song is Footsteps, and he stayed on the line for the whole reverse mamasan trilogy. Kept my phone at my side, and let him into the doors of the Spectrum even though he was all the way in Florida.
    32 shows and counting...

    very cool...
    but for me taking pictures at a show diminishes the experience especially after staring at a two dimensional monitor for most of the week...besides, I would much prefer to manipulate somebody into taking the digital pictures for me, so I can remember at a later time.
