And Amanda gem Nation.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
To the Jonesy demand of arms and the pub test Ian.

Speaker 3 (00:06):
Moss says he does want people filming him and he
shows which is a shame because he's a good look
an individual, Mossy and when he's slinging that guitar.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
But having said that, he wants people to live in
the moment, when we live in.

Speaker 4 (00:16):
The moment, he's saying. In the past, he said, we've
taken a relaxed approach to this, but we've changed our policy.
We've briefed the venue staff for our shows and we
hope they help us reinforce this. So he's hoping that
people will not be filming him, will not be videoing him,
will not be taking photographs of him on the giant iPads.
How do you feel though a lot of people love

(00:37):
to do this, to share it with their friends and
say I was here. That seems to be a lot
of what social media is now, to say I was here.
It doesn't live in your memory anymore unless it's on
your phone.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
It's just for yourself. That really. Do your friends care?

Speaker 4 (00:48):
No, your friends don't care, but you care to tell them.
That seems to be what goes on here. So how
do you feel about what Mossy's saying? Does it pass
the pub test?

Speaker 1 (00:55):
The other day, I was at a concert and I
saw someone if you're recording and stuff like that, but
somebody was planning fruit ninja in the middle of the concert.

Speaker 5 (01:03):
I swear my life they were there. They were playing
a game on their phone while the scene was singing,
and I just thought, that's what an absolute joke that is.

Speaker 4 (01:09):
I think it's so unfair because I.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
Love to film a concert, so I can, you know,
look back at the memories.

Speaker 6 (01:16):
I don't mind what he's doing. You get there to
watch the concert, if you go to watch it live,
if you want to film it on your phone, you know,
watch it on TV. So yeah, I agree with him.
It's a bit too much. Go and watch it, get
off your phone.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
What about taking your old style camcorder along?

Speaker 4 (01:31):
Yeah, or you've been professional and that sits on your shoulder.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
Excuse me, everybody, excuse me.

Speaker 4 (01:36):
I'm filming an IMAX
