Just take a disposable one, if you get caught with it all they are gonna do is take your camera.

haha.. anythingoes

i just saw the first line of that post. i stared at it blankly for about 30 seconds. then i scrolled down and saw the other line.

you scared me for a second ?

now, on to the main topic.. i wouldn't bring a brand new digital camera..

so far in 06 ive heard of many people getting it in, but many having it taken away.
me personally, i wouldnt risk it.. just go with the phone. ?


modify: i agree with mega, you should get one of those digital-zoom disposables. there more expensive than the usual ones (maybe 5 dollars more) but you can zoom in on the band, and then its digital goes right to your computer, and if its taken away, which is prob. wont be, who cares.. just a few bucks.

I took my digital camera to Hammersmith.Got some nice photos... The lady told me to put it away once, but I carried on taking photos and I had no trouble getting in the venue with the camera.

i had mine at hammersmith, got patted down they felt the camera and still let me in, but seeing the way the security were grabbing at cameras i decided against trying to get photos.

Be careful.? The third NYC show, we snuck a camera in, and about halfway through the show, this big dude sat down next to us.? I had to leave early... to take care of some business, but when my buddy got up to leave, he was cornered by four or five dudes, who basically proceeded to beat the shit out of him until he gave up the camera (he does not like being intimidated and will take a beating before he gives up anything).? It was pretty fucked up.? ?? I don't know if they were Gn'R security people, or Hammerstein (I would guess Hammerstein), but it was not cool at all.

And - not only did they take the memory card out of the camera, they actually broke the lense on the camera and gave it back to him that way (the front lense part that zooms out was literally bent down and forward)...  not cool at all.

Chuck Norris kills anyone that asks, "You want fries with that" because by now everyone should know that Chuck doesn't ever want fries with anything. Ever.

[EFISH]

Jarmo is the admin of the board.   You should abide by his rules.  Since Jarmo already warned you and you continued to post the off topic Chuck Norris crap anyway, I'm giving you a negative karma point.

Take a disposable camera.  Dont lose your birthday present when a disposable will do the job.

[babydolls]

got mine into hammersmith no probs - but i did see security frog-marching some guy out with his camera - the guy stood by the door and crossed his arms and refused to leave - it was great!  (think he got to stay in the end).  Someone else next to me had to delete all images off their digital camera.  I got worried as there was loads of phones and cameras near me and waving right in front of Axl's face when he came close - but he didnt flinch.  I am quite small - so got away with sticking camera in the air and snapping v quickly   

disposable will take shit pics - but will prob still capture the mood for you.  good luck if you do  take it
