ITP V.017 EDITORIAL: SMART PHONES FILMING SHOWS, YEH and NEH?

 FROM ITP V.017:
I'm for banning the use of smart phones for audio and video footage. Fan filmed footage can be interesting if something goes WRONG at a show (Randy Blythe's bogus manslaughter charges at the Abaton, PHIL ANSELMO incident at "dimebash" and thanks to those whom filmed it as it put all into perspective). Also, If a huge monster circle pit breaks out, it be cool to watch on YOU TUBE, for educational purposes. However, if an artist wants to film a DVD, the fan filmed footage might compete with that project. I assume the artist would have better, multi camera footage, editing and better sound quality.
It's funny when these kids bring their expensive I phones to shows, and get crushed in the pit, lose or break their phone and cry and whine about it. People standing like zombies filming shows changes the concert etiquette as a mosh pit is less likely and a conflict of interest with crowd surfers.
This generation of hipsters are the lamest morons, even alternative shows in the 90's would have pits, crowd surfers (and wheel chair crowd surfers). Dance a little, clap your hands and wave your shirts in unison, get a circle pit going, head band, surf, sing along.

The other side of the debate is: It IS the artist and bands responsibility to ENGAGE the crowd. directly. If fans are filming on their smart phones, the band and show must be boring ZZZZZZZZZZZ. Good quality stage production might entice people to film. Chances are the band or artist have professional photos (and film footage) of their awesome stage production on their social media. rock that. Quality stage production is no excuse for the band and audience not to engage. Any good band would take fans filming shows as a challenge vs, their performance, get down there in the audience, scream in their face, crowd surf on them, and become one with the audience, ENGAGE your fans.
Amateur photographers should be terrified of bands and fans that illicit a pit, crowd surfers, THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN, hardcore shows.
Don't even start about those selfie sticks, that shit should be banned.
How boring are these bands and fans live?
What happened to the physicality of rock and roll and metal shows?

Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-
