Remember that during this tour probably the next Papa will be presented, and they might want to do that during the whole tour. And ain't it more fun NOT to know what happens during the actual concert than seeing it on social media first? But what do I know I just want to see and hear the show and not a lot of mobiles in the way of the view.
I love watching phone shows on YT. Concerts are too damn expensive and most of the time I can get a more immersive and comfortable experience from a good angle on a YT video than if I were to get $200 nosebleed tickets to a TOOL show. Whether it's that case or the cases of super rare shows, tours with few dates or one-night special shows that are just too far or too expensive to attend, I support it. Someone here in the comments said maybe a good solution would be for bands to have a no-phone policy and have a designated person record the show (not necessarily fancy quality or pro-shot) and sell that. If I remember correctly, KISS used to do this, but it was only audio. They made a recording of that night's show (I believe it was soundboard mix) available for purchase at the merch booth. I don't know how long they did that, but I do remember seeing that back in the mid 90s. Not an entirely bad solution. It's the simple and very common solution of "welp, it's gonna happen anyway so might as well control it and benefit from it"
lol i'm really glad the whole comment section disagrees. I might start going to shows again if more bands start doing this. smartphones really made everything lame as fuck
It’s a shame for people who have to take quick glances at their screen on low brightness in between songs to make sure their isn’t an emergency back home, kid related or otherwise/people who use their phone for medical purposes. Guess if they have to miss the show for it they can watch some concert footage on their pho… oh wait
it's a good thing that those things didn't exist before pho...oh wait. As a guy that made it through plenty of shows before the cell phone era, trust me you'll be fine. The kids will be fine, grandma will be fine. or not, and the t
@ I’m absolutely for moving into a no phone direction for shows. It would be at least nice if Apple Watches were not excluded for people who would want to at least keep tabs on these kinds of things. It’s stupid to look back on how it was then, because we are not in that time. As crappy as it is most things we depend on come from our devices and while I think it’s a great thing for them to be stored away and having a good time at a show, complete smart device lockup isn’t a good direction
Great comment, I love Ghost and I never record any videos or take pictures during concerts because I enjoy the moment. However, I recently got a baby and she would be around 6-7 months by the time Ghost plays in Germany. When I saw the news we contacted my parents-in-law that happily agree to babysit so today when I saw the no phone policy I decided not to purchase the tickets. This is my personal situation and I totally take ownership for it, being a first time mom has a bunch of challenges and fears and I wouldn't feel confortable if my phone wasn't available for me just in case of any emergency. Also with "this security bag" (at least this is what Ticketmaster policy in Germany says) that they would put the phone inside, I also started to wonder how long would it take me to take my phone out of the security case/bag. So I understand why the Band is doing this, but for me this time is a no. Once the baby is older I will take her with me to the show 🤣😁
this is sad. i didn't read your comment before, and i was just explaining above how going back to the rock ages affects people who wouldn't be able to go, but now can due to having a way to get in contact. i don't think it's fair to be like "wathever suffer through it" no. we are precisely not in the rock ages. you should be able to go and stay in contact.
I don't have a problem with no phones. I've been to more shows without a smartphone than with. I think Ghost wants to recapture the experience of RHRN which was no phones distracting the audience members and connecting with the band.
You'll be fine dude lol don't go if you can't handle being without your phone for a couple hours. Also don't tell people you're afraid to drive without your phone. That's soft as hell.
1: it is so annoying when the "sheep" are holding a brick that shines, and you can't see the show, if you stand behind them. 2: years before, you could only see hands in the air! that shows the excitement, and joy of the people 3: PROBABLY, the "sheep" holding the shiny objects are just tryna make a "TicTac" video, or to show off where they were. 4: IMAGINE the artists' POV. You step on stage, and you see little BOXES, instead of faces. Inhuman experience. Think about it. Just a little! You don't go to the Theatre with a camera right? Same thing. FINALLY an author that says NOOPE to the stupidity of the masses! Anyways, the people who make the show, can decide what they allow, on a concert. It is their rightous right.
Its annoying when people call other people sheep. they are people who make up their own minds. Just because its not what you think, or because lots of people think the same thing, doesnt make them “sheep”
Movies in a theater will be released later in the exact same form as you saw it. Every concert is unique and worth preserving. Not comparable. Agreed that artists should be able to decide on what goes on at their shows though. I think they should even be able to determine how people dress, etc.
From what I've seen with Japanese bands phones are usually not allowed in venues but even small bands constantly release professionally recorded shows. That seems preferable to me.
Thought I would add my two cents as a woman who often goes to gigs alone, I rely on it for my safety when at gigs so it is important for me to know what's going on, if I need to leave early because my train may be cancelled and I need to leave to get home a different way or be stranded somewhere overnight, that can be dangerous. But the main reason I would be worried is that the gig isn't just two hours, you're in the venue for a long time and when alone that can get pretty boring just standing there staring in to space with nothing to do or look at, I think I would get some weird reactions if I took out a book in the middle of the crowd! I often put in some earbuds and watch RUclips between sets or while waiting, I think not being able to do that would alone would put me off as a solo gig goer. For those who may comment that I should talk to others, lets face it, most people do not want a randomer pestering them for longer than a quick chat while at a gig.
" For those who may comment that I should talk to others, lets face it, most people do not want a randomer pestering them for longer than a quick chat while at a gig." You don't even need to justify yourself. in your case, it seems like you may be open to the idea of talking to those people, but for many with other types of personalities and mental health issues, it is good that we do not live in the rock ages, and that they can, for example, bring their headphones until the concert actually starts. And as a woman too, yeah, being stranded there alone with no contact isn0t a nice prospect. and to the people being like "well in the rock ages", yeah, and i don't want to be murdered and dispossed of in vlad tepes backyard like in the rock ages either lol. and the modern ages, those with bad intentions won't give me a headstart home if they notice i'm a little disconected.
Maynard had a really good response to those who felt too vulnerable without their phone at a concert, and I'm quoting him here. "If I see your phone out, I'll kick you in the vagina. And if you do not have a vagina, we'll have our techs install one for you, then I'll kick you in it. Put them away, enjoy the show, we're going on an adventure together." I'm all for it, phones distract from actually enjoying the show, otherwise one might as well just sit at home and watch someone else's recording on YT.
I get not wanting a bunch of people just recording the whole concert but the locking them up is a bit extreme in my opinion. I wonder what it would cost to have a guy or two record every concert, and sell digital copies to only the concert goers for like for a small price or included with ticket sale.
honestly? that's a smart solution actually, make it a digital copy exclusive to them, yeah! i would be down for that. not that i record with my cellphone in the first place, but then it wouldn't even cross my mind if i'm already being given a live record. i'm sure that would cut down on the folks doing it for sure
I'm not going to allow anyone to lock up my property. If I went to the show, I just wouldn't bring my phone - but given the way tickets sales are today, I ain't going anyway. I've seen Ghost 5 times during the small venue tours, up close and personal - it doesn't get better than that.
Do they pat you down? Seems like there would be legal issues around groping everyone who walked in the door. I haven't actually been to a show with one of these policies but I assume it would be difficult to enforce against you unless you took your phone out.
@@acherontiaatropos6048 well, inside my panties it goes then. not that i would record in the first place, but there's no way i'm losing my way of having emergency contact. "bbbb-b-but iback int he rock ages!!!" YEAH and back in the rock ages people died a lot more, crime went unpunished a lot more, people with epilepsy like me got revered as having divine visions but now someone can check my contacts and call home or wathever, or use their own phone for an ambulance, or i can just text my brother to be like yeah i'm here at the concert everything is fine, and if i don't answer in a long while he can know for certain if something went wrong or not, etc etc etc
Everyone will have their own opinion about the no-phone policy. Personally, I’ve spent a fortune on travel to GHOST, concert tickets and tons of merch. I respect the band‘s right to enforce their new policy. That said, I think I’m done with GHOST concerts and merch purchases if they go this route. I still will always love GHOST, but I think they’ve lost me as far as me investing in them is concerned.
I haven't seen many phones at shows in the years since the pandemic. But germany might be different from the US. Before the pandemic, it was waaaaaaay worse.
Conceptually I get being upset with it. Practically, people brought it on themselves and I hope more bands get into this. I saw Babymetal live and the crowd was almost still. Nobody was there to enjoy the show, enjoy the music, dance, etc - Almost the entire crowd was still for an hour with their phones up recording or live streaming, there were two people I noticed double fisting phones. Since that I really stopped going to as many rock shows. I'm 6'4 so luckily I can kinda adjust around people's bullshit but it really takes away from the fun for me when 70% of the crowd paid $X just to live stream a concert for internet points. "So what if people want to watch a show through their phone screen? Let people have their fun" What about the people behind them who also paid 100 some bucks who DON'T want to watch a live concert through someone else's 13 inch screen? Why does your need for internet clout supercede their desire to actually enjoy a show they paid for?
I think this is great, a new experience for most of us, personally I hate those arseholes in front of you with the freaking phone all the concert. But many people have an indecent dependency on their phones, so you better stay out of it.
Do they let you use your phone in the theater? No. It’s the same premise. How many of you have been to a concert in the last 20 odd years and seen the rise of a wall of screens the whole time the band is on while you sift through the sea of arms in front of you. You’re there to watch them, not watch them through your phone screen.
14 minutes of whining, not worth watching, sorry but i like the idea i was just worried about being spoiled by the newest member and now i don't have that problem so stop crying
I'm a big Ghost fan, and I'm not particularly a fan of the no-phone rule. But they are: - about to reveal a new Papa Emeritus - probably a new album - and I wouldn't be shocked if a 2nd movie is already in early--production from how popular Rite Here Rite Now was. I think this tour is either going to sneak in the songs of the new album at various shows, or they're doing another movie, or both. This era of Ghost is so based in the web series and I really think the lore has something to do with the phone policy.
I've seen Tool, A Perfect Circle and Puscifer few times, all no phone policy shows. Best concerts I've ever been. What do you need the phone for? To remember? To have a souvenir? What about your eyes and your ears?
You can watch and record at the same time - the quality of phone recordings is going to suck either way. If I could go back I'd have recorded my favorite concerts. As is I remember the details only vaguely and have nothing to show to other people aside from saying "it was so cool". So the incident barely exists anymore in my own mind and doesn't exist at all in anyone else's mind. A video would preserve some of it for a lot longer. Professional recording is always best though and if I knew a show was going to be recorded and release later on disc then I wouldn't bother filming anything myself.
Have people forgotten that for generations, humans enjoyed and - wait for it - SURVIVED live entertainment without a smartphone? It’s a tricky rule for people with genuine medical conditions or memory loss, but otherwise, there’s no issue with no-phone shows. Live in the moment.
ok? and how are those people gonna go about it? do they have to have your seal of aproval of "sick enough to benefit from a phone"? not to mention, we've moved from the rock ages. it's so disingenuos to pretend like phones, along many other technologies, haven't changed our lives and also improved them. people who before would have had to stay at home for any number of reasons, can now stay in contact and still go, for example. Personally, i don't hold my phone up, but i find a decission like this pretty stupid, but metalheads can be some of the most backwards thinking rock of their decade, it morphs again once a hill gets too normie, they find another one to be a cave man in
@@magical571 Chill out. Good grief. It's ONE tour, which will be ONE concert for most people. Reach out to your venue to discuss medical exemptions. Also, there are areas you can go to if you need to access your phone during the concert. Venues have security and medical staff on hand for emergencies.
I saw dozens and dozens of awesome concerts back in the day, with no cell phone. Best times of my life! Why do you need to record the show? If you want to watch it, there are hundreds of videos online. Live in the moment! Also... Logan, lay off the pot. You look like
After having just got back from When we were young, I can say 100% that phones should not be allowed at concerts. Just fucking stand experience the world around you, your photos and video clips that you’ll never watch or look at again are not important. Just be present and enjoy yourself
Can't stand it when I'm standing behind people that are as tall or taller than me with their phones out. It blocks your view of the stage. let alone you're NEVER going to watch the video you record. Just go and enjoy the show.
People always on their phones at the show and showing up just to take videos for TikTok are ruining the music scene, I full on support them banning phones.
I went and watched eagles of deatb metal a few months back here in australia, And i had to watch pracrically the whole thing through someone elses phone screen.. I paid to be in a private stand up area and it destroyed the whole experience. Bet theyve never even watched the video. Suck it up babies. Leave ya phones alone for a minute and live in the moment and experience it
I've been to countless concerts and festivals over the years. And I've taken pics and video......that just end up sitting on my phone never to be seen again. Is anyone really going back to this footage? Cellphone videos of concerts always sound terrible anyway. I'm fine with the phones being banned.
take this from someone who recorded a few shows he want to back when he was 16. you NEVER look back on the footage, The Audio quality Sucks!, snap a picture or two if you really want to, (which will also Suck). Just pocket your phone and enjoy the experience, all you're doing is taking yourself out of the moment you pay'd 80 bucks for. Good on Ghost for doing this.
You watch concert footage today and all you see are phones lifted to record, and people watching the band through their screens, still cheering, but not as engaged. You watch concert footage anytime before cell phones, and in a lot of cases people are euphoric. The band, especially the singers, are more engaged, people are there just having a good time. So yeah, fuck cell phones.
be in the moment dude, reliance on screens make your memory become shit because you just record it and watch it later. if anything happens, the audience at ghost shows are super nice folks and are willing to help in the small chance that anything goes wrong. you can live without your phone for 2 hours bro
"the audience at ghost shows are super nice folks" tell that to my bipolar, abusive, called "devoid of empathy" by her therapist, no longer friend. and she introduced me to ghost and we bought tickets together! There isn't such a thing as a good or bad audience. there's just people.
LMAO! Dude must have never attended a Tool concert. This has been common place for YEARS now. It just smart that other bands are picking up on it. Though to be fair at Tool you can have your phone, just don't be caught recording or you get eighty-sixed.
"Though to be fair at Tool you can have your phone, just don't be caught recording or you get eighty-sixed." ok.but that's the actual reasonable way of doing it. it's not the phones that are the issue, it's the recording
@magical571 It's really not that big of a deal. This type of thing happens at comedy shows as well, where they are locked up. Matter of fact I'm going to see Kevin Smith next month and I have to put my phone in a lock bag as well. It really will be OK to not have your phone for a couple of hours.
No phone policies exist because whenever a band does something interesting on the stage, every idiot in the crowd pulls out his phone and it becomes distracting as fuck. When I saw Judas Priest, everyone in front of me wanted to film Rob Halford entering the stage on his bike, and I could barely see what was happening. The same happened when I saw Batushka, if you're in the back at one of their concerts, you just can't see the band properly because of the wall of phones that forms. I know people also whine about Placebo doing this, but I just hope more and more bands stop allowing phones at shows
thankfully we'll soon be missing all of his live stuff from youtube! Fk big productions,, decent musicans count more, and there arent any in this video,Metal's the best most diverse and encompassing its ever been,, so wtf you chatting bout bruv?
Remember that during this tour probably the next Papa will be presented, and they might want to do that during the whole tour. And ain't it more fun NOT to know what happens during the actual concert than seeing it on social media first?

Have people forgotten that for generations, humans enjoyed and - wait for it - SURVIVED live entertainment without a smartphone? It’s a tricky rule for people with genuine medical conditions or memory loss, but otherwise, there’s no issue with no-phone shows. Live in the moment.
ok? and how are those people gonna go about it? do they have to have your seal of aproval of "sick enough to benefit from a phone"? not to mention, we've moved from the rock ages. it's so disingenuos to pretend like phones, along many other technologies, haven't changed our lives and also improved them. people who before would have had to stay at home for any number of reasons, can now stay in contact and still go, for example.
Personally, i don't hold my phone up, but i find a decission like this pretty stupid, but metalheads can be some of the most backwards thinking rock of their decade, it morphs again once a hill gets too normie, they find another one to be a cave man in
@@magical571 Chill out. Good grief. It's ONE tour, which will be ONE concert for most people. Reach out to your venue to discuss medical exemptions. Also, there are areas you can go to if you need to access your phone during the concert. Venues have security and medical staff on hand for emergencies.
I saw dozens and dozens of awesome concerts back in the day, with no cell phone. Best times of my life! Why do you need to record the show? If you want to watch it, there are hundreds of videos online. Live in the moment! Also... Logan, lay off the pot. You look like
I wonder how those hundreds of videos online were shot. hmm...
After having just got back from When we were young, I can say 100% that phones should not be allowed at concerts. Just fucking stand experience the world around you, your photos and video clips that you’ll never watch or look at again are not important. Just be present and enjoy yourself
Can't stand it when I'm standing behind people that are as tall or taller than me with their phones out. It blocks your view of the stage. let alone you're NEVER going to watch the video you record. Just go and enjoy the show.
I do agree that hardly anyone watches the footage later on, and if they do, maybe once or twice and then it's forgotten.
jesus this video could be 2 minutes.
People always on their phones at the show and showing up just to take videos for TikTok are ruining the music scene, I full on support them banning phones.
Oh well lol
They SUCK anyways.
I went and watched eagles of deatb metal a few months back here in australia,
And i had to watch pracrically the whole thing through someone elses phone screen..
I paid to be in a private stand up area and it destroyed the whole experience.
Bet theyve never even watched the video.
Suck it up babies.
Leave ya phones alone for a minute and live in the moment and experience it
EXPERIENCE life; ALL EYES on HIM , all you have when you die is your memories I am All Eyes, I am all Ears, I am the Wall.....
I've been to countless concerts and festivals over the years. And I've taken pics and video......that just end up sitting on my phone never to be seen again. Is anyone really going back to this footage? Cellphone videos of concerts always sound terrible anyway. I'm fine with the phones being banned.
Personally love it! It’s just my measly opinion…I don’t like cell phones they have destroyed humanity. No phones at all shows would be great.
L take. Anyone complaining about this is wrong.
so much meaningless talking wtf
Don't like it?
Idk.. maybe just get over it or DON'T GO?
sorry cry me a river, we paid for a experience, not for you to use a phone to block the view, good on ghost, should be enforced everywhere
take this from someone who recorded a few shows he want to back when he was 16. you NEVER look back on the footage, The Audio quality Sucks!, snap a picture or two if you really want to, (which will also Suck). Just pocket your phone and enjoy the experience, all you're doing is taking yourself out of the moment you pay'd 80 bucks for. Good on Ghost for doing this.
So you made a video just to whine?
You watch concert footage today and all you see are phones lifted to record, and people watching the band through their screens, still cheering, but not as engaged. You watch concert footage anytime before cell phones, and in a lot of cases people are euphoric. The band, especially the singers, are more engaged, people are there just having a good time. So yeah, fuck cell phones.
be in the moment dude, reliance on screens make your memory become shit because you just record it and watch it later. if anything happens, the audience at ghost shows are super nice folks and are willing to help in the small chance that anything goes wrong. you can live without your phone for 2 hours bro
"the audience at ghost shows are super nice folks" tell that to my bipolar, abusive, called "devoid of empathy" by her therapist, no longer friend. and she introduced me to ghost and we bought tickets together!
There isn't such a thing as a good or bad audience. there's just people.
LMAO! Dude must have never attended a Tool concert. This has been common place for YEARS now. It just smart that other bands are picking up on it. Though to be fair at Tool you can have your phone, just don't be caught recording or you get eighty-sixed.
"Though to be fair at Tool you can have your phone, just don't be caught recording or you get eighty-sixed." ok.but that's the actual reasonable way of doing it. it's not the phones that are the issue, it's the recording
@magical571 It's really not that big of a deal. This type of thing happens at comedy shows as well, where they are locked up. Matter of fact I'm going to see Kevin Smith next month and I have to put my phone in a lock bag as well. It really will be OK to not have your phone for a couple of hours.
No phone policies exist because whenever a band does something interesting on the stage, every idiot in the crowd pulls out his phone and it becomes distracting as fuck. When I saw Judas Priest, everyone in front of me wanted to film Rob Halford entering the stage on his bike, and I could barely see what was happening. The same happened when I saw Batushka, if you're in the back at one of their concerts, you just can't see the band properly because of the wall of phones that forms. I know people also whine about Placebo doing this, but I just hope more and more bands stop allowing phones at shows
I am good with no phone nothing suck more that having you view block by some ass whole with his phone. Enjoy show while you there.
delete this before its to late
too late for what? McDonald's breakfast?
