Chris 55 Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 I think Axl still has his ban on cameras Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChineseIRS Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Your not really supposed to bring cameras to any concert. Its not just because Axl doesnt like them. It's at the venue's request. Every concert I've been its been like this: Audioslave, Staind, Velvet Revolver, etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris 55 Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 eh, Korn lets you take pictures at their shows. ones I've been to anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F*ck Fear Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 I've never had any problems with cameras. Not after getting them into the venue anyway. Once in, even security has never bothered me about it.I'm hoping to get one into ACC in Toronto on November 15th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWildheart Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 I heard that security at the Tampa show were taking people's camera cell phones off of them. What the fuck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel-Power Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 I was going to start a thread about this earlier, anybody who has gone to the recent shows, have you been able to bring in cameras or have you had a hard time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Appetite 4 Axl Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 At any concert it seems security no longer cares once you sneak the camera in. But at Hammerstein people were taking pictures and the security was up on it. Some guy took a pic on his cell phone and the security guy told him he'd take it if he didn't put it away. I dunno if they were more strict because of the particular venue.. or because of Axl's request.. I'd love to take pics but I don't want my camera taken away.

BigDeech Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 MSG has no security or scanners. The security stands there and watches people walk in. Seriously. Just don't bring it in a bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bromle Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 if they find you with a camera they will take you to the backroom and you will have to bend over and meet a nice german called Hans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bandita Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 MSG has no security or scanners. The security stands there and watches people walk in. Seriously. Just don't bring it in a bag.They usually don't check very hard at MSG (except if you have a giant purse or something) but they do have a policy at the venue of no cameras. I guess it also depends on the act, Billy Joel allows cameras, I saw him twice there this year and people walked in with cameras in the open, including video. Other times I banded one to my leg and never had an issue getting it in.The actual tickets don't say anything about no cameras at least for MSG they don't- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyerOne Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 I've been two a few shows at MSG in the past & their policy on cameras has always been tight from what I've observed. I'd think that they won't allow them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spaceman Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 I've heard that the San Diego Sports Arena is famous for horrible security. Hope that's true, I plan on bringing mine in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd think that they won't allow themI guess being a woman they generally don't pat me down. When I go to concerts I usually bring a really small purse that a camera wouldn't fit in anyway so they usually just look in there and let me pass through not even thinking I might have one strapped under my jeans.I go to a lot of concerts. Probably 4 or 5 at MSG just in the past year. Sometimes they barely even look at you when you walk in especially if it's really busy.If you are worried, bring a disposable camera that you wouldn't care about losing. Don't try to bring in your super 6 megapixel digital because if you lose that to security you will be pissed, especially if your car isn't nearby to go put it in.

Probably 4 or 5 at MSG just in the past year. Sometimes they barely even look at you when you walk in especially if it's really busy...It definitely depends on the venue - the band - and even the evening. Sometimes MSG waves you right through without even looking at you. Other times they're more strict. At the Hammerstein shows, they had a special line for women where a woman gave an all-out pat-down - checking purses and then patting down from head to toe. It was pretty ridiculous. I mean, the guy's line was moving right along -- and the women's line took ages to get through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.W.A.T. Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Hell, now I'm kind of nervous just taking my cell phone when I got to the Dec. 5th show. I mean, I'm gonna need to use it to get a ride home afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
November_rain Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 It depends on the vednue. We all know gnr don´t want cameras in their shows but in my case, in madrid I wasn´t even bothered by security. I didn´t have a camera but I could have gone with a gun or with a bomb because security didn´t even search. But in the concert in my home town men went to a line and women to another line and I found it odd because it was a festival. I was hand searched by a female security and she even opened my bag and put her hands in it to make sure I didn´t have a camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know GNR don´t want cameras in their shows but it all depends on how severe the security venue is IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnfnr06 Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 all i know is security was very lax in london and glasgow and for one of the london shows, i was right up front against the barricade and no one cared i was recording the show. EVERYONE had cameras and cellphone cameras and were taking pictures - makes you giggle when you think about how seriously Axl took to cameras (ie st louis) and now everyone is taking pictures of him.
