Title: Cryptic post on the official GN'R forum Post by: Spirit on June 24, 2015, 08:21:58 PM So, for those who's not a Nightrain member or is a member but doesn't frequent the forum there.. The activity have picked up a little bit lately. There's two new moderators who post there pretty much every day.
There's a thread created by one of the moderators yesterday that's titled "Hmm...". The post is simply: They'll be callin' in the morning, They'll be hanging on the phone, They'll be waiting for an answer, Best somebody be home?. #ImOnTheNightrain #July Then the other moderator posted a reply which said: I smell something in the air... not blood in the water tho. #ImOnTheNightrain #July What do you guys think? Something to do with July obviously... Maybe another contest (they've been doing them monthly now), but I think it might be something different.

Title: Re: Cryptic post on the official GN'R forum Post by: Spirit on June 24, 2015, 10:12:12 PM @Bacon - I asked for some more hints
Title: Re: Cryptic post on the official GN'R forum Post by: TheBaconman on June 24, 2015, 10:54:54 PM @Bacon - I asked for some more hints Who are these moderators and why are they laying games Title: Re: Cryptic post on the official GN'R forum Post by: Spirit on June 25, 2015, 12:38:18 AM Not sure who they are.. They seem more interested in GNR music than the previous ones though, they treated it like just another job it seemed.
Title: Re: Cryptic post on the official GN'R forum Post by: FunkyMonkey on June 25, 2015, 03:30:35 AM I think his point was, why does everything have to be "Cryptic."
Title: Re: Cryptic post on the official GN'R forum Post by: Spirit on June 25, 2015, 06:42:42 AM I think his point was, why does everything have to be "Cryptic." Yeah, I got that... Not sure what you want me to say, I don't have an answer. Title: Re: Cryptic post on the official GN'R forum Post by: jarmo on June 25, 2015, 06:45:54 AM Looks like the hints are about July and Nightrain.
And phones. /jarmo Title: Re: Cryptic post on the official GN'R forum Post by: Spirit on June 25, 2015, 06:46:50 AM Looks like the hints are about July and Nightrain.

But who knows sit back and relax you'll find out eventually.

Title: Re: Cryptic post on the official GN'R forum Post by: Spirit on June 25, 2015, 04:00:06 PM Likely promotion for something their site will be doing as opposed to anything band related, I reckon. It's likely. I do wonder why they name dropped Blood in the Water... made me think it could be music related.

All members are getting a phone call from DJ Ashba himself and he isn't going to shower for the month of July! :peace: Title: Re: Cryptic post on the official GN'R forum Post by: Spirit on June 25, 2015, 04:48:42 PM That's probably it. :D
Title: Re: Cryptic post on the official GN'R forum Post by: GnR-NOW on June 25, 2015, 08:24:18 PM The blood in the water reference is cool, so we'll see if anything comes out of it.

Happy 4th Of July :peace: Title: Re: Cryptic post on the official GN'R forum Post by: Gavgnr on June 26, 2015, 05:29:46 AM Off topic - every time I go to that site I have to log in and it's a pain in the ass
Anyone else have this issue? Title: Re: Cryptic post on the official GN'R forum Post by: Spirit on June 26, 2015, 06:09:46 AM Yep
Title: Re: Cryptic post on the official GN'R forum Post by: Ginger King on June 26, 2015, 12:54:01 PM My guess is that it's a promotional gimmick to get more people to join. I am intrigued, but I think I'll wait until something concrete surfaces before re-upping my membership.

Unless a member makes a post about it in a (free) fan forum... Well, yeah. :) Do you think that was their idea? If they then can't follow up with something intriguing after many new people have signed up, they've basically shot themselves in the foot. People will be disappointed and most likely never return.

Title: Re: Cryptic post on the official GN'R forum Post by: faldor on June 26, 2015, 04:32:04 PM People that have joined, what have you gotten out of it so far? I joined the first year while all systems were a go. I got 2 t-shirts since there was a mixup and they initially sent out the wrong shirts. A bandana, patch, and belt buckle were also included. Forgive me if I'm leaving anything out. After that first year I decided not to renew since the band was inactive. Once things get going again, we'll see.Title: Re: Cryptic post on the official GN'R forum Post by: Ginger King on June 26, 2015, 04:47:46 PM People that have joined, what have you gotten out of it so far? I'd be curious to see if the forum activity has picked up. I was a member, got the belt buckle, etc., and used it to buy VIP tickets to a show in 2013, but the forum then was really dead. There was virtually no activity. I didn't rejoin because there was nothing else it offered that you couldn't otherwise get here (that's a compliment to you, Jarmo!). It sounds like they're doing things a little different this time around. I hope they pull it off.

It's nothing mind blowing, but there's some activity compared to completely dead - as it was some months ago. Title: Re: Cryptic post on the official GN'R forum Post by: Spirit on June 26, 2015, 05:15:30 PM People that have joined, what have you gotten out of it so far? Participating in the contests is the only thing for me personally. Looks like Frank will be answering some questions on the forum next week.

I think the forum on the official fan club is just icing on the cake. It's not necessarily why you join, but it's a bonus. You know you're talking to people who share your passion for the band, they spent their money.... If that makes sense. /jarmo Title: Re: Cryptic post on the official GN'R forum Post by: kyrie on June 27, 2015, 07:23:31 PM The blood in the water reference makes me want to think fanclub single. Bands like Pearl Jam have done that. Could be wishful thinking though...
Title: Re: Cryptic post on the official GN'R forum Post by: NaturalLight on June 27, 2015, 07:52:24 PM I think his point was, why does everything have to be "Cryptic." To get people talking. It apparently worked.

Title: Re: Cryptic post on the official GN'R forum Post by: GnR-NOW on June 27, 2015, 09:20:51 PM I think it's gearing up to be Frank answering questions ...

People will be disappointed and most likely never return. Uh, Hello? These are Guns N' Roses fans we are talking about. The scenario I described was only if their idea was to let the word spread just in order to get new members without having anything juicy to back it up with. Now, I don't think that was their idea. I think it was posted in the forum ment as a teaser for the current Nightrain members. If it turns out their big reveal isn't something big, I don't think that's a problem, I didn't sign up now just for this thing. If someone did, I guess I'm to blame... :rant: :hihi: If your comment about GNR fans relates to the "disappointed and never return" part, I don't think that's true. Lot's of people didn't re-up their membership because of lack of activity in the fan club. Title: Re: Cryptic post on the official GN'R forum Post by: Spirit on June 27, 2015, 10:30:36 PM I think it's gearing up to be Frank answering questions ... Probably. He started his thread the day after.

Bands like Pearl Jam have done that. Could be wishful thinking though... That'd be great! U2 are also doing something similar with their fan club. I'm sure GN'R would have a lot of people signing up if they'd do that! Title: Re: Cryptic post on the official GN'R forum Post by: Gavgnr on June 28, 2015, 07:25:41 AM The BITW reference alludes to a new, unreleased track.
My guess is that the July events on the nightrain do not. Unfortunately... Title: Re: Cryptic post on the official GN'R forum Post by: slashsbaconpit on June 29, 2015, 04:31:30 PM New album out in September.
Not necessarily a GNR album, but someone will release an album in September. Title: Re: Cryptic post on the official GN'R forum Post by: jarmo on June 29, 2015, 04:41:20 PM I think you have a a future in this. Predicting the future! :D

They'll be callin' in the morning, They'll be hanging on the phone, They'll be waiting for an answer, Best somebody be home?. Couldn't that text relate to an actual Stay of Execution? Title: Re: Cryptic post on the official GN'R forum Post by: jarmo on July 01, 2015, 05:42:07 AM I don't think so.
Looks like some lyrics from Coma relating to this month's exclusive fan club contest. /jarmo Title: Re: Cryptic post on the official GN'R forum Post by: Spirit on July 01, 2015, 09:01:26 AM I don't think so. Looks like some lyrics from Coma relating to this month's exclusive fan club contest. /jarmo Yeah, it's up now. Win a phone call from either Dizzy or Frank. By the way, I still think the text could relate to a last-minute stay of execution, you don't think so? ;) Title: Re: Cryptic post on the official GN'R forum Post by: jarmo on July 20, 2015, 08:21:09 AM July contest deadline is on the 22nd.
