Put a very cool photo book out. What would be a fair price, $35 maybe

[Wooody]

Is there a no axl clause or something ?

[cineater]

Good pictures.  The Melissa ones are fun.

How did you come to that conclusion?

I'm assuming that you were looking at pics of him and came to that conclusion? That's slightly odd....

For a 53 year old man, that was some damn good jumping on Slash's part.     I realize the photo is probably forced perspective, but still impressive.

You know why he said it. It's because in these 122 pictures of the band, there are only 2 shots of Axl and they're of his back.

There's more than two, and that invalidates the "No Axl" theory. Thanks for proving my point.


Nothing like a good theory though.
The reality is more boring... He's just difficult to capture. Plus he's often got that microphone covering his face..... Or when you think you got the shot, his eyes are closed...

I think I'm counting four. Not a bad catch

Fantastic pictures Jarmo! Its my favorite part of a concert thread/topic.
Also, when I am at the gig I don't have to waste time taking crappy pictures with my cell, when I know I can see Jarmo's photos and adopt them as my own

Shame more people don't feel the same - I have no idea what people do with all the crap pictures, and even crappier bits of video they insist on recording. People don't seem to be capable of enjoying anything unless it's filtered through a screen now. Seriously weird.

That's one reason I don't attend concerts anymore.  Paying $100 or more to stare at the back of someone's hand as they wave a fucking cell phone in my face.

I went to four gigs in four different countries this time around. I didn't take a single pic inside any of the venues.

I don't know if I'm the bestest fan around but I sure as fuck wished other people tried even thinking about why am I choosing to enjoy all this in the said way.

We have Jarmo and we have Kat, please, tell me why can't you keep your phones in your pockets. Kudos to those streaming on the other hand but, no, we don't want dozens of bad streams.

[Six Strings]

I've been to two shows this year (Guns) and plenty of other concerts around Europe of different bands (so far that is). I have exactly 0 pics and 0 videos from all as I preferred enjoying the shows. I have seen plenty of crappy faces looking at me, especially when I start moving around on the songs and enjoy them just as I know it should be during a rock concert, only because I am disturbing the ''fans'' who are filming, taking pictures and so on. The whole problem, at least as far as I'm concerned, is that most of these people are there just to point out they've been to a rock concert. If we take Guns for example, most of those filming know November Rain, Knocking on Heaven's Door and to a lower lever Welcome To The Jungle. They can't tell what's the name of the song during Double Talkin' Jive or Coma. Let alone Chinese... I'm sorry but I fuckin' hate these guys. They shoot the concert and they play it at home enjoying the shitty clips they've made just to prove to their friends and family they've been there. I wonder how they would feel and whether they would be on a rock concert during the 90's at all. The new generation... Yeah, you can call me old but I prefer so...

PS. Amazing photos Jarmo. Thank you for sharing them with us. We all know that you are not from the people I'm describing above. 

[jarmo]

Thanks.


In their defense, sometimes all those phones make a cool backdrop for the show. Since lighters aren't used anymore.

I saw a lighter being used and true enough it made me think "a lighter, really?"

Further to my hate, you can use your telephone as a light without filming the concert. Besides, most of the shows started in daylight.

Agreed. It's like being in a mausaleum sometimes. Watch live videos from 80s and 90s of ANY band and the crowd are so much better. I used to hope it would go away as people realised they are ruining their own night, but it doesn't seem to be.

My tactic now is totally ignoring them, in every way. Just try and get lost in my own world at a gug and zone them out. I feel sorry for them- it's impossible to connect with the moment through a screen, so they must be getting so little out of the event. I'd hate to not feel the emotions I do when I see and hear music.

A question is hardly a conclusion.
