Re: gunsnroses.com (Merch store now open, SALE!)
Yeah it was a minimalist package with not much between the standard and the bonus membership or whatever...but that said...it's great they're finally doing something like that.
To be honest the key features that are important to me are going to be - access to the band - chats and so on - video streams if they keep doing it - and priority tickets. Which all seem to be covered.
I've been a member of megadeth's club a lot in the past and they do a lot of online chats and keep fans informed via the club and that's what makes it cool.
Re: gunsnroses.com (Merch store now open, SALE!)
A) That U2 package is SWEET
B) I'm glad to see some others thinking/saying "it's a start"I can't explain why, but I really feel like this year is "the start" of some good times for the fans finally. It seems to me that Axl's in the best mood he's ever been in on a consistent basis, the band is firing on all cylinders, they're doing the best shows they've ever done, they're getting positive review after positive review... then on top of all of that, they have a "real" website now. All those things are finally pointing towards moving in the right direction.
Yeah, that's why I decided to join. With the HOPES this whole "moving in the right direction" thing will continue. They HAVE made large strides over the last few years, so there's reason to be somewhat hopeful.
I wonder what they'll offer next year when the subscriptions run out. Like monkey alluded to, the only difference between the standard and premium memberships is a T-shirt that none of us has seen yet. What next year? Another T-shirt?
Re: gunsnroses.com (Merch store now open, SALE!)
Not to harp on it but that's why I have zero issue ever renewing my membership with U2. The last three years have been exclusive fanclub album releases(B-Sides & rareities, Artificial Horizon[cd and vinyl], & U22). That's fucking cool. Hopefully Gn'R will release some kind of live package or imagine they released a B-sides type album of unreleased Chinese Democracy era material exclusively for members.
Re: gunsnroses.com (Merch store now open, SALE!)
Pictures of the "exclusive" package to fanclub members have surfaced. Let's just say, people are freaking out over on that board. I'm sure people will find this funny, sad, typical, expected, etc.

Obviously the major complaints are that there is nothing "exclusive" about this package. All the items, save the AFD t-shirt, were included in the Chinese Democracy boxset apparently. And an AFD t-shirt? Seriously? What mixed messages are they trying to send us here? Aren't we supposed to be moving on?
Don't get me wrong, I actually own none of this stuff, so I'll take it. But the whole principle of the thing seems a bit off to me. I've refrained from saying that the membership hasn't been worth it to this point, but it hasn't. And this doesn't exactly tip the scales either. To those who held off forking over the money, BRAVO!
real exclusive content.
