Georgy Zhukov Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Countless videos on YouTube of recent shows demonstrates this. The video I posted recently was shot in full view of the security. He must have changed his mind about video cameras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhazUp Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 (edited) Back in 1991 the crowd wasn't so over-saturated with video cameras and it was somewhat manageable. Nowadays it is inevitable to have a crowd filled with video cameras and phones, it is impossible to regulate it Edited September 8, 2011 by WhazUp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITW 2012 Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 In Toronto they were cracking down on people who were videotaping. I think Axl knows that video cameras are inevitable in the i Era though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packersnroses Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 He must not mind it anymore. Look at the videos from the private show at L'arc. People had their cameras shoved right in his face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a vast ocean between cell phone shots and pro shot. Speaking of shots, why did you back off of TM? The guy is a scumbags,and it was entertaining watching you torment the chump.

wasted Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Now I think Axl is like THX1138. He's trying to escape from the evil empire.Scraped seems like a getaway drivers soundtrack. GNR needs to do a stunt car video. Travis Pastrama on the triple flip. that guy awesome he does everything humanly possible to put his life at risk.No is that a tv show?

dalsh327 Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Countless videos on YouTube of recent shows demonstrates this. The video I posted recently was shot in full view of the security. He must have changed his mind about video cameras.People used to sell bootlegs of videotaped concerts which would've pissed him off, but St Louis didn't happen because someone was videotaping the show. Even professional bootleggers aren't that stupid to be that close to where they draw attention. The bootlegs were a bigger deal when it came to unreleased songs... as mentioned on the Nassau 1991 concert bootleg after "November Rain". It's like having someone taking your journals and sharing them with everyone. Only reason why bands care about live shows not making it online is if they were planning on putting out a live album, which used to be a bigger deal, and of course there was the fact that a lot of shows have been tinkered with in the studio. The videos are in the fans' hands, there's prob. no plans to sell a DVD of the past decades' worth of shows, no one's making money off of them, so he wouldn't and shouldn't care about that.

Val22 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Most venues allow cameras now, so it would be a waste of time for Axl to complain. If it bothered him, he would walk off every show he performs in now.Besides, Axl should allow his fans to take pictures of him. It's proof that he showed up for the show! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angel357 Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Even if they collected all cameras, they take all phones as well, can they :confused2: It's funny that they took my friend's old and fucked up camera at the GN'R concert I went to but they didn't take mine though we were next to each other.

He prob.still has the pictures, unless Axl succeeded in getting the camera. Wonder if Axl and the management had to make a few calls to the Hells Angels to make sure GNR didn't get fucked with while they were on the road. I'm sure Axl was concerned that they were going to put a hit out on him, or threw some money their way to keep them happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnrfan2007 Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 (edited) In the old days, you had to find a way to sneak a video camera into a concert venue. But with technology today, all you need is your cell phone.If you showed up to a concert with a video camera, or just a photo camera, yeah, of course you will not be allowed in with it. That is just the rule with every live event.There is nothing you can do about people using their cell phones to record video and posting it online though. There is no way a concert venue can band cell phones. Everybody's got a cell phone!In the old days, Axl just didn't want people bootlegging concerts and selling it for their own profit. These days, with the Internet, it is very hard of bootleggers to make a profit. All it takes is one person to upload it, and the whole world can download it for free!Probably as well, in today's Internet age, it's a good thing to have people posting concert videos on YouTube. It is free promotion and builds up your popularity status, ie. trending. So GnR is not that blind to understand the benefits of having fans upload convert videos from their cell phones.

moreblack Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 With mobiles today being what they are, and with everybody having one, you can't really do much in terms of security. I mean, what would they do? take out everybody's battery or confiscate them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
