Yep. 2 items (bandana and belt buckle) available on Ebay, who the hell where's patches anymore, and what's with the AFD t-shirt. Nothing exclusive, nothing new, nothing we haven't already seen. Everything has been available for years now. |

Everyone is very pissed. This fanclub isn't going to last long. I just hope we get our money back when it collapses.

 I admit I did not order this but feel bad for those who did, someone need's to take control of the Guns brand 2012, ground control is too busy supporting too many artists to give a shit, sorry but come on now. This should not happen to paying fans IMO

It really looks like they're trying to dump stuff thats been in storage. Its really kind of embarrassing in light of everything thats occurred to get to this point to use the appetite logo shirt.

Does anybody have an email for the company??
This is a joke! Is it not the same stuff as was in the Chinese democracy pack??
If they send that T-shirt out, it really makes a farce of the whole thing. Axl needs to phone his buddy Lars Ulrich to get advice on running a global brand!

By "the company" do you mean GroundCTRL? I would assume they're just using the product they're given by the GN'R organization. |

Besides the product offer clearly states an exclusive T-shirt! A fan club t-shirt is a fan club Tshirt with the year of membership... Surely! If anyone has contact details please post. Thanks |

This is why I'm not an impulse buyer and wanted to wait and see what the gifts would be for becoming a member. As previously said, the merchandise is nothing new and nothing you cannot purchase from Ebay or other sites. And I've never been a patch enthusiast either.
Maybe they'll correct it and get it right.

Thanks Answer from GroundCTRL on the GN'R Forum:  So yes, they're using the AFD shirt they were sent by GN'R and in turn, Axl. Hopefully this is fixed as they're hinting in this post. |

Axl depends on management to make the right decisions. In some instances, it seems he's had to be more hands on than he should, given lack of proper management and record company support. But it this case, its just bizarre that those representing him would authorize an AFD shirt. It looks very unprofessional. This isn't complication stuff here.

It's bizarre for sure. I highly doubt Axl hand picked the items to be included in the package, but whoever did made an odd choice. I don't own an AFD shirt, so I'll take it. But that wasn't quite what I expected. Even if it says something like "fanclub" on the back of the shirt, it's still promoting the classic lineup which is what I thought we were trying to move on from. Mixed messages being sent it seems.

If you're waiting...don't. Live your life. That's your responsibility not mine. If it were not to happen you won't have missed a thing. If in fact it does you might get something that works for you.

Yeah, I don't think sending out AFD shirts is the way forward... I would rather get a bootleg looking shirt with just an orange star on TBH. Anything that relates to the new era of GN'R, is what we must be seeing on the merchandise you feel, like those other items in the photo.

The worst part is that this was all advertised as exclusive and you can get all of those item's anywhere.
