luftikuzzz 2,492 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I usually only take some photos to remember the moment. But 98% I'm dancing and partying Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whispering 18,865 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Ask yourself when was the last time you looked at pictures from a concert you went to a year or two ago. If taking pictures and vids are a huge part of your life...as in you look back and enjoy those things often...it makes sense. If you do it out of habit or because you feel awkward without your phone in your hand 24/7, try something different- put your phone up and live in the moment! You might find that those moments were far more enjoyable than having pictures you rarely, if ever, look at. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chromatic 12,177 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I never use my phone during concerts - I just don't get it. You pay ****ing money for a ticket, yet you watch most of the show through a screen? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, it's for capturing a moment, but honestly it really ruins all the fun of being at a concert just filming there instead of having actually fun. For example this performance of DIC. Look at everyone just filming, instead of like dancing in fcking circles. It really ruins the moment and I honestly think that Gaga would be like " Oh well, I'm earning my money anyways.. " instead of what it should be ; " Oh my god, look at my dearest fan enjoying the time of their lives!! " Should Gaga address this? -- #rant naw it shouldnt be banned people like to relive it from their point of you. Like at TMB I filmed alot of it and took lots of photos but I was watching the show more than filming. I filmed maybe small parts and took a few pictures and my phone diied fast LOL But it doesnt bother me one bit. Each LM should be allowed to enjoy it the way they want.

Blue wig 336 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I went to the artRave with a camera and took photos throughout. I regret it. I remember only a few moments of it (when she covered "What's going on" and the whole stadium was singing with her [shrieks in joy]), but most of it I remember through the photos. AND MOST OF THEM ARE BLURRY!!! One part I particularly regret was when she was talking to the crowd after Bad Romance. I think she was talking about having a beautiful moment with us, or something meaningful like that, and she was slowly walking in my direction. The spotlight was right behind her. I took the most breathtaking photo while Gaga was telling us to switch off our phones and cameras!! Besides, what do I have to gain by taking photos or recording her tour? Thousands of others are taking better photos and videos than me, and the tour will probably be professionnally and officially filmed anyway. So I just ruined the concert for myself!! Well, that's just my experience. I took TOO many photos. And I kept watching videos of it before going. But I'm ecited to enjoy the JWT at 100%!

sillynate 6,170 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I plan on pulling out my phone like 5 minutes before the show starts and asking someone to take a pic of me to post online. After that I'm putting it away and not pulling it out til the show's over Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindblown 6,710 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I have a terrible memory so I'm going to record my experience so I will always remember it. But there's a fine line between filming the entire thing/staring at your phone and just recording parts of the concert. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

" Should Gaga address this? -- #rant the spirit she once had with her fans at her shows coming to dance and experience something together was unique. It's probably hard for her to relate to it this way but it's as far from her, today, as it is from every other artist. it was a happening- in that special little universe they shared it was possible for people to come for that experience. at coachella she told people to put their phones away- to me it's not really different from telling them to put their hands up or whatever but a ban would freak some people way out. if she really wanted to push for that early unicorn of a vibe she had at her earlier shows she should consider it from an artistic/production perspective. elements of the production should include a message about how now is happening now, and life is always now, for instance. she could make fun of people that do that- 'you see these people that come here just to look at a screen they could watch from home' but then she'd be dividing her audience which she tries not to do. iow if it really bothers her, it's something about the way the world is that's bothering her. it's like telling people to avoid eating a lot of carbs- they'll have more energy and feel better, it will never be like telling girls gone wild to take their shirts off on spring break Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
