Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Do you think camera phones will set off Axl at the new shows?

Just curious?

wouldn't count on it  ::)

Well they didnt in 2002

I wouldn't think so.  There aren't really any flashes on camera phones, so it probably wouldn't annoy him.

I just know that in the past, cameras at shows was something he was very passionate against. These days camera phones are unavoidable, it wasn't so back in 2002. I just hope he is prepared to swallow the whole issue and let things roll off his back a little more than back in his 20's.

When they played Hong Kong in 2002, during the first song everyone in the arena was snapping pictures with their camera phones and it didnt set Axl off then.

IF it did then he would just have to deal with it, everyone use's camera phones now and you'll always get a good percent of the crowd taken photos at concerts now with there camera phones. And don't you think this topic is abit pointless ?:hihi:

He seems to be fairly happy to have his picture taken these days.

In Robert John's book he says that he doesn't want to have his picture taken until he gets healthy and himself sorted or something similar.. maybe that time came..

And yeah with cell phones having flash as a standard these days.. I think they would have to be a lot more easy going about it all as it's going to happen.

Cool, that's promising. I would hope that Axl is much older and wiser these days then back in the AFD/UYI era.

i dont remember them being popular in 2002 although the first one was released in 2000 i remember i was one of the early ones to get a camera phone the nokia 7650 and the only other popular one was GX10 but im talking late 2002 early 2003 plus they were shitty quality

but now there are 2-3 meg with flash and everything so i dont know maybe it will

Pointless threads are the bread and butter of any popular forum, and as long as they are on topic and have fine folks like you posting in them they will be around for a long time to come. ?;)

but did he use a camera phone No and thats the idea of the topic  :rant:

what happened to all those pics.. how come only  a few pics made it to the internet...

he had his picutre taken at st louis, with a camera, the guy who started this asked if it will set him off because of thye camera phones, so realy it does has something to do with this topic ?:yes:

I think its ironic, all handheld cameras are banned from concerts, but cellphones with the camera feature are admissable...? :-\

I think his main issue with cameras is having pro-semi pro photographers there who will sell the pics to magazines, not fans who just want them for fan-sakes.  the dude in st. louis was with the press wasn't he?

he filmed the show i think, so it`s not very likely he had something to do with the press..

In 2002 I was up front for the second to last concert of the tour (hartford, ct) and before the show we were told 3 things not to do by GnR security..... 1 No middle finger, 2 no shouting for slash, 3 no holding up of cell phones

Eeeeek, that sounds pretty discouraging. Hope he got over that.  :-\

fucking cool! ;D

Yeah...

I was at the same show, pushed the "light" button on my watch to check the time, and had a security guard at my side 10 seconds later.  I looked at him, pushed the indiglo button on my watch, and he leaned an and said "yeah, ok...leave it off".

But I'm not sure that's because of the fact Axl is "sensitive" (he is, apparently) or because the security guards at the Hartford Civic Center are dicks (they are).

:)

All that being said, given the fact that, at the front of the venue you are about 4 feet from the stage, I'd leave my camera phone firmly stowed if I were that close.  Just in case.

Can you imagine being the guy that pissed Axl off, "initiated" the act that made him walk off stage, got the tour cancelled and thus canned the release of Chinese Democracy. That would suck royally.

 :nervous: I would hate to be "that guy"...but I can imagine it happening to me  :crying:

That's not much he can do against it in RIR and mager festivals, unless Axl says Mr Security thouse thousands of people with cellphones, out.

this is more likely to set Uncle Axl off  :hihi:

I don't think that will ever....ever happen... during Guns N' Roses...... that stuff only happens to shitty artists.....  :P

My cell phone is staying firmly out of sight.  Given how poor the picture quality is when someone is standing still, there's no way I'd even consider trying to capture moving figures in a darkened ballroom.  Just not worth it.

no shouting for slash???
 haha did they really tell you that????

Incredible...

Slash is GNR!!! for me he he :D

If you were to take pictures, you should try to do it on the last song.  But you would have to guess when that will be.  I'll probably watch for people taking pics with their phones first before I try at the end. (that's if I try)

Yea they said not to do that, and if anyone did they had to throw em out. They added the coment that its Axl crying.... But those guards at the civic center are cocksuckers they probally streched it.... but I dont wanna be the one who ends the show, tour and album relase.... so I'll behave.

i hope we can be able to take pictures.

So long as its covert

GET THAT GUY!

plenty of pics n videos surfaced after the 2002 tour so id guess that its gonna be ok

axl will boot stomp you if you take a pic of him.  we dont disrespect uncle axl.

how but  Shouting for Buckethead?

I have a big beach ball and i wrote SLASH, IZZY, DUFF, STEVEN on it... We are gonna blow it up and throw it around down in front.... you think that will set him off?

I hope you get kicked out for trying to ruin the concert for other people.  : ok:




/jarmo

Im joking. Im not even going to a show... but things like that would make a cell phone camera seem trivial dont you think?

I think its pretty harsh that not even the die-hard GN'R fans can get a picture of their idol.

Saddens me really...

...Although I will try to sneak a pic in with my mobile phone if possible.  :hihi:

"mister security man, are you listening to me? get him, and him, and him, and her and....." you catch my drift :hihi:

hehehe thats really funny.  :D
