The same thing happens with every third man variant, especially location exclusives. If you don’t want to go there or don’t want to pay a huge mark up why even bother getting upset over it. It’s not like you can’t get the same songs on black vinyl. Upset? Yea I guess a little. Really over the principle of it more than anything. I honestly DONT CARE about the variant. And obviously living in Oklahoma I know I’m not EVER going to drive to fucking Detroit for any record release. But do those two facts eliminate me from feeling a tinge of anger at the fact that people are trying to sell 7” of wax with two songs for $175-$300? I think not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NapalmBrain Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 you will never own it all, many records will forever elude you. Third Man is a constant reminder of this with their limited releases, acquire and enjoy what you can but there is no finish line for record collecting Plarocks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stl_ben Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 It's a sunny 31 with no snow today in Nashville. Do you want to make $50 by going in to the TMR store ? No line. Avoid eBay fees and shaming, just shoot me a message. I'll buy todays tri for cost + $50....if not Ill be hitting up ebay (which will probably be about the same price I offer). Just thought I would offer here first... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natenomm Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Jack White really doesn't want you to look at your phone during a concert, huh? This is from the Milwaukee venue's page: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is from the Milwaukee venue's page: He did this on his last tour as well, to a lesser extent. He didn't do the locking your phone in a bag thing, but they came out before the show and stated no cameras or phones. At the time, I thought it was a little extreme, but you get numb to how annoying it is to have someone hold their phone up and record entire shows, until you don't have to deal with it at all. It's actually really nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I've ever gone to a concert that's gone to this level to ensure that it doesn't happen. It should be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lethalenforcer Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Everyone that records concerts and/or firework shows should be required by law to re-watch their video(s) every day for the following six months. Some lady in front of me at Lolla last summer brought out a fucking laptop. AndrewSS and natenomm 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong. Honestly, I hate it when people bring out their phones and record ENTIRE SONGS. I'll pull out my phone and take 1 picture and put it away for the rest of the show. I'd gladly sacrifice that one picture if it means that every other jabroni doesn't have the chance to pull out their phone. Let's be real...Who rewatches all those damn concert videos anyways? The sound sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewOldStock Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I wish this would be common place. I will, extremely rude rarely, take a single photograph. At Fall Out Boy the other week, every person was recording whole songs and then tweeting etc about it. It is infuriating having that little light in the corner of your eye.

For free. The night of the show or the next day. There's no money to be made here. I'd say that is shortsighted. To invest in this technology for a concert, someone is benefiting fiscally. And what happens when media outlets want photos/video of the show? The only source will be the official photographer, who doesn't work for free, and doesn't keep all the money he/she will get from the licensing. I'd argue if this is a trend, it points to individual/freelance photo/videographers (and the retail technology) getting so good they are competing with "official" (read: paid) photographers. But call it what you will Edited January 23, 2018 by My Upvote is A Downvote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewSS Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I like the idea of the bags. I'm a little bummed I'll be seeing him at Gov Ball and won't get to experience them. The bags seen much better than say LCD Soundsystem at Brooklyn Steel having James Murphy just yell at people to put down phones (though those moments were humorous) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend almost got his phone taken away while he was out of the seating area, looking at shirts. He called his gf to see if she wanted a shirt, and nearly lost his phone.

I saw Tool about 6 months back and there were a dozen or so "employees" in black shirts with binoculars that were scoping people out that were using their phones. Many people were kicked out. I also saw Limp Bizkit a year ago and Durst would yell at people that took their phones out. And, they listened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinyl addict Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 MJK was worried about people recording and spoiling the show for others who haven't seen the tour yet. Fred Durst wanted everyone to stop checking their emails and Instagram while he was "entertaining". Group Buy Guy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
