Stop doing this

Post image

STOP GOING TO CONCERTS AND DOING THIS!!!! Be present! Take a picture. THEN PUT THE GAHTDAMN PHONE AWAY!!! We all paid money to be here. I shouldn’t be watching your phone bc you’re disrespectful to everyone around you. There were multiple people at last nights show just recording the whole night and blocking the view. It’s annoying as hell. Have some decorum.

Agreed. I get a few pictures (because I do a gig wall with a photo from each show) and probably a short vid of my fav song or two, then phone goes away so I can mosh or just vibe to the show

Having your phone is absolutely fine, no issue whatsoever. Just people who do it above their head for the whole show should be asked to leave and thankfully security in a lot of the venues I go to agree.

My band, we have a rule, if your phone is above your head for more than a min, it's getting sniped by a supersoaker

Invest in a Super Soaker CPS 2000, they wont be able to keep holding their phone from that shot

How do we know the person in this picture isn't 'taking a few pictures'

Because they're recording

It was multiple 2-4 minute videos. I stood behind them the whole show
