Kate Bush asks fans not to use phones or tablets at London comeback gigs

I'm with her all the way.

I've had enough of mobile phones, the world was a better place without them!

Don't get me wrong, they're great for emergencies, BUT it's the way people abuse them that really pisses me off!

I am taking my camera to her show - very old school

ruins dvd sales

Everywhere you go people are on their phones (even driving.... still)!   My family visit and my son -in-law and grandson sit there on their i-phones, tablets.......we are doomed!

....thankfully my daughters and grandaughters chat to each other, drink tea and scoff the cake I have made that morning! Bless.

Agree.....but talk about out out touch with the world in 2014 .....good luck with one.

bring back analogue
at least everything seemed in real time
mobiles and internet are slowly killing
the world as we know it and people are
spending fortunes online thinking they getting
it cheap. In short a DIY society.

So you agree but disagree 626?

No ,I agree with her .

But hundreds if not thousands will ignore her words and film constantly .

Came back from hols today, going  through Dartford Tunnel, a girl probably late teens looking at her phone , never looked up for the 50 or so yards we pulled alongside her, I am amazed there are not hundreds of motoring fatalities on a weekly basis

A phone is bad enough but if some ****er was in front of you obscuring your view holding up a big tablet, I think you'd be justified by taking it off them and letting them see the error of their ways, suppository style.

i have a mobile but never take it out with me. anybody would think that was illegal. when i said that to my gp clinic the woman looked at me like i was mental.

she the said well whats the point having one then?

daft argument imo. i have lots of things i never take out with me. i never take the toaster out with me for a start.

I saw a bus driver going along in London looking down at his phone then doing a selfie.
went right past a bus stop where people were waiting. Amazing !

pumphol.

so was you watching the road ahead pumps
or were you not driving

also have a mobile,it comes to the pub on Thursday
and Friday nights with me in case the wife needs to
get hold of me, as it's cheaper than taking
the wife

Wit you PILLOCK I was a passenger

pumphole -

first person to pull a phone out to take a pic will get pulped by the audience - who's feeling brave?

I just don't see the point of filming it, or taking pics etc.

The quality wouldn't be very good, and it won't be long before you could see it on DVD, or YouTube for free.

How bloody annoying is when you're trying to have a conversation with your mate, and he keeps getting text messages which he feels the need to reply to!

i dont have a clue why anybody would go to a kate bush concert, but each to their own i suppose

i read that you wont be able to get in without photo id proving you own the ticket you bought. unless theyve changed that, that will cause utter chaos. who takes their passport to a concert?? crackers.

Don't get it myself, but if folks are paying top dollar to go and see her they should be able to film if they want.

lets all upload 10 second clips on youtube and facebook see how many lieks we can get

whilst im at it ill upload my atties and mince uim having for ma dinner

She did say that she doesn't expect people to stop filming.

kate bush rockumentary bbc4 friday

Will be an uphill battle imo

I agree with her view, but its clearly about the fact that she cannot sing anymore.

She should had put it on the tickets, no filming or photos, this is a music concert.

ps the dvd will be available for 29.99 on the way out.

I wanted to pass a continental lorry on the M62.
He was in the middle lane but kept drifting to the outside lane, so I held back and picked my moment to go past.
He was laid back like he was in his sitting room, with only his knees on the wheel, and looking down at what I couldn't see,
but it had to be a mobile!

I see this all the time. People driving along a busy road at 40mph, staring at their mobiles.

8 times out of 10 it's a woman under 30

spot on from i_a_w_n

The mandatory penalty for using a mobile while driving should be a 12 month ban.

The people I'm talking about are probably texting or looking at the internet which is worse than making a call. Their eyes are off the road, looking down, for several seconds at a time

Don't really see the problem with people taking a camera to get a couple of photos but anybody who pays that much for tickets to film the whole thing on a tiny screen is an idiot.

The mandatory penalty for using a mobile while driving should be a 12 month ban.

No it shouldn't. It pales in comparison to someone pissed behind the wheel or driving dangerously.

actually it causes people to drive dangerously, twelve month ban would be well in order imo

A number of things cause a person to drive dangerously and when they do they get a twelve month ban but using a mobile phone whist driving is not on a par with drink driving or dangerous driving.

When someone on their mobile smashes into the back of you at speed while you're sat at a red light on a busy high street. I'd say that's more than dangerous.

I was the victim and that event alone changed my life, for the worse. If i knew then what i know now

Forget 3 points and a fine. I'd throw away the key if an accident occurs because of their selfish actions.

i'd say someone with 3 pints in side them is less than a danger than someone texting on their phone - the "drunk" driver is probably going to be trying to drive as carefully as possible

I'd agree with toffee.

In fact, fwiw, they often quote on the radio, scientific studies which show that using a mobile phone is as dangerous as drunk driving. Texting has got to be far more dangerous

That is dangerous driving though.

Make the conscious decision to get behind the wheel after drinking then drive really carefully? Doubt it, you have a lot of faith in drink drivers.

I've been to plenty of gigs where you're asked to not take photo's or film. It's a good thing. very annoying the people in front of you holding their phones up and you can't see. In any case the photo's and filming will usually be poor quality. At Jack White gigs last year people were warned they would be thrown out if they took photo's. At any west end theatre show if you're seen taking photo's you are asked to stop. No reason why Kate's people can't do the same. It's nothing to do with money. It just doesn't help the show.
