I love going to Maynard shows because he’s hardcore about banning phone use during his sets. I saw more than one person get kicked out due to it.
Although at the last tool concert I went to he let people have them out for Sober at the end, but he shamed them all for being junkies. The Pucifer/APC/Primus tour he didn’t, iirc.
Exactly. My wife is 5’2 so we have to get aisle seats so she has a chance at seeing. Although I inevitably sit behind a short person standing on their seat to take a video that they’ll never look at.
I’m definitely cool with people snapping a picture here and there . It’s the people who have their phones in the air the entire concert that make me want to cause property damage.
Oh god concerts are so stupid right now. Can’t see anything because there’s always some idiot holding a phone up in front of your face.
I get annoyed when people hold the phone up high during the show. If you hold it in front of your face, no one behind you can see it. Don’t block people’s view.
I was at a Poppy concert a couple months back, and the guy in front of me at the front rail literally filmed and took pictures of every moment. During songs I intentionally made sure to be extra rowdy into his back to he couldn’t get anything clean.
I take one, maybe two pictures of each band, then phone away. Just something for me to look back on and reminisce.
Or ruins it for the people trying to enjoy it.

Great, I might as well had stayed home and just watched it through some shitty TikTok feed

Hey now, in 3 years they’ll be going through old photos and will get 10 seconds of enjoyment out of it.

But but… But then my view is obstructed. Why do I care what the person behind me sees?
