Coma16 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I wouldn't go as far as saying it is a ripoff for only $40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManetsBR Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I think the price is fair. Nothing attractive to make me buy it, but still fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I thought the yellow one was better than a lot of the '11-13 tour shirts, this one looks just like the '11-13 tour shirts with 'Nightrain' slapped on. Not that the yellow one was trend-setting by any means, just better than this one If I thought there would actually be some participation in this from the band members, aside from the one bumblefoot chat, I'd probably go for it. I might go for the $15 one after I move next month, if they announce some extra chats and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSoRose Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 (edited) This actually looks a lot better. I don't expect the online membership to do anything at all, and there's a strong chance people who sign up won't get everything/ get different things/ get nothing for a while but in theory, that merchandise looks quite good!Might do the 15 dollar one. Would love a shirt and the key chain but I don't feel like spending all that money Edited October 10, 2013 by ZoSoRose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManetsBR Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 If there was a live chat once every two weeks with a band member, INCLUDING Axl Rose, I'm sure the vast majority of us would buy.But hey, what do I know? Better stop complaining. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarstruck Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 This is probably too little too late. When the club started in early 2012 there was promise with the live streams and Bumble taking part now and then on the forum but really once they got your money it was all downhill and total dogshit. Once again, they are making promises that sound enticing but I bet the Bumble chat is the only video chat they do and it takes them another 2 years to come up with a new membership package.I want to want to join but it just sucked SO bad last time around.

Gordon Comstock Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I want to want to join but it just sucked SO bad last time around.It wasn't all bad! If you didn't like the yellow t-shirt, you could always just wear the AFD one they sent first (but yea, it was pretty bad). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

username Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I guess it's just very unlike GnR to do something right. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raz0r Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 How much have the Fan Club VIP tickets been going for on previous tours? And the pre sale, are the tickets the same price as the public price, or do fan club members get a discount? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Anyone have a picture of this yellow shirt from the last package? I've never seen it.Truth be told, it doesn't sound too bad - if they keep to their word. Maiden still has the best fan club of any band out there for my money though...

Gordon Comstock Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Also, I could never actually get into the nightrain forum... I got all my shit in the mail, I think when I initially signed up I got redirected to the forum because I was already logged in, but after that I could never log in again, it said something like your account doesn't exist. And then they sent me that renewal postcard.Not that I cared all that much anyway, the nightrain forum looked like shit and was dead after what, a month? Then they launched PC anyway/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl_morris Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Much better package at a much better price. I might get the $16 one. Not really in to GNR shirts. Live streams sound promising i just hope its not just one to lure us all in to buying the package for the website to be left to rot for another 18 months.

Guest NGOG Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Bumblefoot has done multiple free live streams in the past and at no point has he discussed the future of GNR. Axl, or I'll pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussTCB Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Hmmm..... I actually like the new shirt and I like the key chain/bottle opener. They may actually get me based on those items. I put absolutely NO stock in the promise of anything outside of those two items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom2112 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I don't give a fuck about a live video chat unless it's with Axl, Dizzy or TommyDizzy? Bumble will give you the same info and he won't cover it up with a load of excuses. Tommy and Bumble are the only two that will give a straight answer.

"Nightrain', baseball cards, t-shirts; it's all an ineffective smokescreen for the lack of new music.Yes, they're really fooling us Did you read the post or just blindly seize what you percieved to be an opportunity to sound smart? 'Ineffective smokescreen' would suggest that anybody who follows GNR in the minimal hope of new music - as opposed to a material-focused cult - do not see measures like 'Nightrain' as particularly pleasing.
