Chris DeVoe While this sounds impressive remember DeVoe has nothing to do with the School Of Rock in any capacity and has admitted that he gets away with taping these performances he attends because they are considered public performances AND his hope is that professional musicians see what he has done and hires him (for $$$) to shoot them. So you should read this statement as “I’m a nearly 60 year old man who crossed state lines with a lot of video equipment to record minors because there’s no law saying I couldn’t, and am trying to make money by exploiting the images of these minors I have no family or business relationship with.”

What Devoe is into is child exploitation, let's not gild the lily here, people, he doesn't give a fart in a high wind about the goddamn School Of Rock, he just likes filming children, pure and fuckin' simple. But it's easier for him to get away with under the pretense of filming School Of Rock performances than filming them from a fucking park bench like he was Aqualung or something. Sick bastard. Look, I'm a guy who doesn't even like taking my kids to the fuckin' playground kitty corner from our house without my wife tagging along because I know how it looks when a middle aged man is alone in a park full of kids (remember, my wife is Filipino, so my kids don't look like me at all). In this day and age? I think it's inevitable that sooner or later, Chris Devoe WILL get called out on his kiddie filming fetish.

I honestly don't think he does it for any kind of perverted reason. But he's so arrogant about the service he supposedly provides....when it's a service no one fucking wants. He's complained before about how much trouble he has selling those DVDs of his. Yeah that because nobody wants this shit. If parents want a record of the Sheboygan All Stars salute to Jethro Tull they can film the thing themselves with their iPhone...and then never watch it. This has come up before and he's like "yeah but their phone can't do multi-camera shoots..and then there's the editing and...' Nobody cares.

This has come up before and he's like "yeah but their phone can't do multi-camera shoots..and then there's the editing and...' Nobody cares. Had he made the service available and worked as PARTNERS with School of Rock it could be so much better. If the parents are aware before that someone is filming and could have a chance to purchase a copy if they desire it would seem legit. In this case if sounds like he just records and then tried to pimp the product after the fact. If I get a notification somehow be it via email or some fat dirty slob like him coming up to tell me I can purchase a video of my child WITHOUT my knowledge/permission to record them (much less make a profit off their image) the fat bastard is getting hurt. When I was in high school the band director sent a notice out to ask if there was interest in recording a concert and purchasing it. There was but before we could actually perform/record anyone under 18 had to have a parent sign off even though there was no way to know who is who and what is what in playing - and no imagines used at all of anyone of us (just names). I think one person’s parents refused and they did not attend the show and was left off the names of all members.

Look, he travels at his own expense to be around minors he has no connection to, he’s doing something no one asked him to, hasn’t gotten the kids/guardians permission to do it, and monetizes it for himself, and Shawn is just making it sound seedy. You know he’s a good guy in this because he gets hugs from parents who are assuming he’s part of the School of Rock. Sheesh.

This is the same Fugazi who were staunchly against creating band merchandise like t-shirts, tried to keep their concerts at $5, and singer/guitarist has run an independent record label for 40 years devoted towards community and keeping prices affordable, right? I’m sure they be thrilled that some creepy guy with video cameras is only receiving 1/3 of the money being generated by these kids he has no connection too. Minor threat, indeed....

DeVoe getting hugs reminded me of this classic from TYMMIE Lookingbill:

It is good some of them are finally realising the weirdness of DeVoe. He always set off my creep radar.

I'm trying to imagine how he'd describe his job (loosely used term) to someone in a way that wouldn't immediately result in a phone call to the police.

DeVoe said we should look through the comments so I did.. Here's one from the singer in the Fugazi video. Let's see, she thanks the commenters, the School of Rock and even Fugazi. Not a word about how happy she is that k8fan was there. lol

When you have SandAndGlass, a man who has posted actual pictures of his grooming a 9 year old girl on SH.tv, defending you, you really need to think about what you’re doing with your life.

The question someone needs to ask him is if School of Rock or some of the kids in turn took the video he shot and profited from it, without giving him a cut, using similar justifications to his own, how would he feel about it? Does he have these kids sign releases? All it would take is that one parent who takes exception to this and his bullshit excuses aren’t going to help him out.
