EV is getting a little too big for his britches

I am partially agree with that, at this point we don't know who decides of cameras, no cameras etc... I remind you that in 2000, 9 persons died in a concert, seems clear that the group don't want that anymore, and I think it's responsible from them,

I maybe just blame how hard is it, to have ticket, but his is not his fault if he has success, have you never change your mind in your life ?

nah, its a bunch of smaller places. the flashes would be fucking annoying as hell. read what the others said about the VIC. said it was like a disco, that would suck.

all this talk of no cameras, no audio, no crowdsurfing, no this, no that.....there were years where he didnt care what you did at a show, so long as you showed up and paided to get it. Now he has turned into Dad, and he wants to control the world. Sounds like someone is being a little Diva, turning into another save the world type like Bono.

It's not that Ed's a diva. It is that people are not respectful when given the chance to BE RESPECTFUL. At the Vic. During the pre-set the flashes right up in the front were ridiculous. PJ security was giving out tape to cover the flashes and still people just completely ignored the request. Over and over and over.

Ever been hung over and tried to NOT get a headache with flashes going off in your eyes non-fucking stop?

I have and it is virtually impossible.

Want good shows? Respect the artist's wishes. If people won't...the artist must change the rules so the shows can be enjoyed by all in attendance including the artist.

AND...On another note....anyone who think there will be no BOOTLEGS of the shows is an idiot.

Implicit in the term "bootleg" is something that is done illegaly or clandestine.

I don't think they are going to search people any more than at any other concert and there are boots from like every show out there. RELAX!

If I were him, I'd have a similar policy at least with flash cameras. Y'all can be as bad as the paparazzi at some shows.

I have no problem what so ever with the camera policy. Ed's solo thing at Vic was a straw that broke a camels back. In small places, it really is a problem. I even find myself sometimes taking a few extra pics than i need, just to get the "perfect shot". Then I always regret spending so much time taking pictures. I just needed to be told no!

I think this is a very mean-spirited post.

A rock concert is a very different type of show than a smaller concert where the audience can easily interfere with the artist hearing himself.

If it's not your type of experience, don't go.

Maybe he wants to be able to perform to the best of his ability, which is hard with hundreds of flashes in your face. I guess thats wanting to rule the world, right?

What she said.

People just don't get it.

Oh well. I'm kind of glad there won't be any cameras allowed. A little worried about my phone, but hopefully that will all be just *fine.*
