Shit head musician

[Judd Dude]

That is a drag, but I'm gonna play Devil's advocate for a second. Did you ask him if it was cool to take photos of him beforehand? Some people are weird about that. I'm a musician myself, and while I don't care if people take photos of me, I'd be a bit miffed if they made money off my image and I didn't see any of it. I'm assuming you were just taking shots for fun though. That said, even if you didn't ask beforehand that's no excuse for his aggression. A simple "no photos please" would've done, and certainly in an adult manner, not trying to make you look like an asshole in front of the entire club.

No, I didn't ask.. someone of his experience and popularity would (should) have it in a waiver, and the club owner said nothing when introducing him. I think that using someone's image for gain is a breach of Canadian copyright law; in the least photographers have to get a model release... so, these shots I take of musicians at this place either just go on Facebook, or my own website as part of my portfolio. Either way, it's free promotion for them essentially.

Ah I see. Sounds like he was in fact OVER THE LINE.

I'm in no way justifying Mr Rogers behaviour but as a musician myself I have had photographers taking pics of our band without asking then publishing them on Facebook and trying to charge us to remove the watermark, all Im saying is he may be blaming you on past experience.
or he may just be a miserable t**t

Well, he does have a reputation for being intense...
