idiots on his FB page are accusing him of not playing/not being allowed to play because he was drunk. SMH.

This has been a live nation rule for a long time. Clearly he was OK with booking the show knowing his audience would be disarmed. But when HE was told he had to disarm, that was the final straw.

correct me if I'm wrong, but don't we despise double standards and different rules for different people?

If I were to guess, he had nothing to do with booking the show, his manager did. But I'm not a rockstar, so I could be way off.

Rule or not, do signs hold the weight of law in SC? If not, were the metal detectors/pat downs at the door for the audience members?

Nah. The peons don't need to protect themselves.

Saw him at 8-second saloon or whatever the **** hole is called. Maybe one of the worst concerts I've ever been to.

He did his fans a solid.

Is your complaint with the venue, the artist, or both?

I've never seen him live, so I can't speak to that, but I like his music.

Not sure on signs in SC. But live nation handled the concert in France where so many were slaughtered and after that their company declared all venues would have metal detectors and no weapons. I was scanned at a Christian concert at the Murat last year

I'm sure he's a great artist, but seems to have subjective views on when being disarmed is a problem

It's for the children, I'm sure. Just think of them!

I just sent a message through his web sight commending him for standing by his principles, but also asking him why he would accept a job at a venue that made the customers disarm before entering.

 

[whiskeytangofoxtrot]

Gotta stand on your principles no matter what. It'll eat you up if you compromise.

 

[Alamo]

... their company declared all venues would have metal detectors and no weapons. ..

How nice. The types that shot up their concert in France would give no more respect to metal detectors than they would to signs or laws.
