fumps Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I am agreeing with all of you. I'm recording this thread in my mind......who do I pay royalties to ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Arkadin Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 (edited) I used to love Sledge Hammer, thanks for the reminder skankdelvar. I was at a Gary Numan gig in Norwich last month and one guy was holding up a frigging iPad. After a brief period he disappeared which is just as well as I'm small but not afraid to tell someone they're a twat. Can we also lump on idiots who talk through entire gigs? What is that all about? I was at another Gary Numan gig in Norwich maybe five years ago and a gaggle of twenty-something girls pushed to near the front where I was and proceeded to chat the whole time about how brilliant it was that they had got so near the front. I politely told them that I'd payed to hear the Gaz and not their witterings and suddenly everyone else was joining in on my side and the girls quickly disappeared! It's up to the real fans to say something about all this unsociable bollocks and you'll often find many people who didn't say anything but are getting quietly annoyed will step up and support you. Sadly the selfie just reflects what kind of society we've created. Edited August 11, 2014 by Mr Arkadin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roonjuice Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I believe the best way to approach this is the same way that professional journalists and photographers are dealt with. U get the first 3 songs to get your "shots" then that's it..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevB Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Can't take photos or record audio with my archaic phone so it stays in the pocket all through the gig. I very occasionally take a camera if I think I'lll be close enough but then it's a couple of quick snaps (a minute at most) and I'm done for the gig. The constant sea of smartphones is becoming tiresome at concerts these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
