"This person paid, like, 70 bucks for a ticket, and now [they're] back here trying to see the show through your phone. That's just rude to people. That's why we pick a couple songs and go, 'You can film these,' but don't ruin somebody else's experience for the rest of the show. It's just selfish, and you're unaware of your behavior."
"There are a few things, when you're a kid, that your grandma or your mom taught you. Like, there are the danger ones, and then there are the courtesy ones, right? The danger ones are like, 'Look both ways before you cross the street,' right? There's a short list of five things: don't put your hand on the stove; don't run with scissors. And then there are the courtesy ones: please, thank you, yes or no, sir, yes, ma'am, no, ma'am. Don't point - pointing is rude."
Tool enforces a strict no-phone policy at concerts that restricts fans from taking photos or videos except during a few designated songs. The policy aims to preserve other attendees' sightlines so ticket buyers can view the performance directly rather than through someone else’s device. Filming permission is granted for select moments to allow documentation without disrupting the show. Similar rules apply for Puscifer and A Perfect Circle, and the policy will be in effect during upcoming tours supporting new releases. The rule is framed as basic courtesy meant to improve the collective concert experience.
