Peter Frampton Throws Fan’s Cell Phone During Concert

bad counting man.

 

1) inconsiderate of those around you, distracting to others who also paid and wish to see and hear the concert
2) rude to performers, especially, as in this case, concertgoers who were specifically informed that recording/photography was prohibited
I sincerely hope that you don't go to many concerts, as you're part of the problem.

 

Yea I'm hip to that but five shows is nothing in the big picture. Bad counting counted.

 

be nice...no reason for acidic remarks...my problem is with the "star" not the customer/fan.

 

oh so if i see five shows in a row in three different venues and all five nobody gives a rats butt if you video or take pics that says nothing with respect to your assertion that MOST shows have banned pictures?

come on man... be a little big in the interest of community civility and admit your statement is just false... unless YOU go to every show yourself that is! I mean how do you know most shows ban all pictures??? Because the Eagles and Frampton do?? What kind of sample is that? The over the hill gang? Lets try to stay in the real world where most concertgoers are young, ok?

 

Are we supposed to list every show we've ever attended where photography was accepted? I've been to about 30 shows this year and ZERO had rules against photography...

 

Yea yea yea you are young all right I can tell. And I don't really care for your over the hill gang remark but that is all you have period.

 

I didn't say I was young man... you're on a roll tonight!

 

Man I'm really impressed.

 

But you have a problem with a performer being aggravated that folks are taking photos, recording, etc when specifically told NOT to do it? That's rude and inconsiderate anyway you cut it.

 

Your not? then why the age remark? I'm always on a roll thank you.

 

Warning: All violators of our no cell phone policy will have their devices Framptonized. Enjoy the show.

I feel the fan should be able to document their concert going experience...take for example the Dead letting the fans record them!

 

If that's what the Dead wanted to do, that's fine. Concertgoers at this particular Frampton show were SPECIFICALLY informed that photography/recording was NOT allowed. So in your view, people buy tickets for x, x says no cameras, etc people do it anyway and the performer should not be aggravated by the blatant disrespect. Please don't go to a King Crimson concert, you may ruin it for everybody!

 

OK, I got it! it's all Ringo's fault!

 

I wonder what would have happened if Jim Morrison was still around ? would he have broken the phone or taken photos of himself?

thankfully this was not captured on video otherwise the person would sue Peter Frampton ! I hate video phones during movies and I have seen youtube concerts with hundreds holding there phones up and I would hate that !

 

He'd probably do like Eddie Murphy did with a fan's camera in "Delirious", and take a picture of his leather-clad crotch.

 

I wasn't trying to impress you and don't care how you feel. I was refuting your claim that photos are prohibited at most concerts.

You keep telling us that cameras are banned at most shows but mock evidence to the contrary and provide none of your own...

 

Agree. If there's a no photo policy and you take pics anyway, it's rude/obnoxious to shoot pics anyway. Fans have no automatic right to take pics at concerts...

 

I just played the Frampton album on 8-track to celebrate my enthusiasm for his phone toss.
I wish the arrogant ahole would sue Peter, believe me, Peter's countersuit would be a hoot, intellectual property theft can net a hundreds of thousands of dollars fine, and the publicity would be a sure boost. After all, you haven't seen Peter's personal archival stage videos

 

All I know is that it is distracting to watch the artists on stage and have dozens and dozens of lights from cell phones and tablets in the way, not to mention flash cameras, which I fully understand would get on the artist's nerves. The spotlights are bad enough, but when you also have to deal with flashes, it can cause headaches and distract you from playing and singing. No wonder they close their eyes so much or look down and away. Some artists allow this. Some don't. Respect what the rules are. Enjoy the show. Watch the performers. Dance, sing, and act a fool with the rest of the audience. Don't waste your experience trying to record it. Concerts are social. Put away the recording devices.

Artists don't want their shows up on YouTube and Vemo. What if they want to release an album or DVD? The stuff is already up on the internet and no one will buy the actual content. When you pay to go to a concert, the royalty fees are included in the price of the ticket. If you record that show, those are royalties and other fees that aren't getting paid. The artist signed up to play for you, the paying fan, not to be plastered on the internet for free in the worst possible presentation. Just because you pay to see an artists doesn't mean you have the right to record them. You can cause problems for them with the label, songwriters, publishers, and unions, among others.

 

I feel the same I could care less about it. And as far as evidence it's petty and not worth my time dude.

 

How does a photo of a guy on stage fall under "intellectual property theft"?

 

Which is why you've posted about this repeatedly...
