Keenan nevertheless has been a bit extra prickly on the matter, stating again in 2024:
“It’s impolite. To not us, I imply, I simply did an entire photoshoot. I’m not afraid of cameras and I’m not afraid of telephones. I’ve obtained mine proper right here. It’s a really great tool.
There’s no means you’ll be able to truly seize what’s occurring in that stay second on a cellphone. You’re lacking the chance of truly absorbing in actual time what’s occurring. The artwork of storytelling. With the ability to truly recount what you noticed with out having to document it.
Coaching your mind to stay within the second and see the factor, however extra importantly, cease annoying the particular person behind you. It’s annoying, it’s distracting and it’s distracting for us, too. So put it the fuck away, develop the fuck up. It’s solely two hours. And on the finish of the present, we often allow you to movie a music, so that you get your memento.”
He later went on so as to add:
“…You do it in a theater, you do it at a play, you do it at an orchestral efficiency, you get eliminated. You don’t get to do it. Do it at an opera, you’re leaving. It’s impolite. You’re right here to expertise a factor. You paid all that cash to be right here to witness what we do, not what you do.”
As such, fan-filmed footage of full Software stay performances has develop into an more and more uncommon commodity through the years, typically solely rising from the band’s choose competition appearances.
