Official GN'R fan club at gunsnroses.com

[axlrosegnr]

I won't be renewing my membership, at least not immediately. I will probably before the next round of US touring for the presales and VIP, but at this point, I'm going to wait. The forum is not very active, and www.paradisecity.com is fulfilling my need for an official forum anyways, and that's free. (And it's a refreshing take on the same old forum layout)

What is the deal with joining that?? I put my email address in but have yet to have the official invite.

You should shortly. They only allowed 100 in initially. They are expanding shortly to 1000.

I received the invite today for the ParadiseCity, but still hadn't received the "Verification email" after I created the account ... it shall arrived "shortly", but .. yes

I think not renewing the gunsnroses membership. The second t-shirt was nice. The forum was near unusable due to large fonts and layout. Overall, it feels like it's mostly about a 50$ t-shirt.

The whole concept could have been done better. Imagine buying web exclusive show videos, or streaming rehearsals. Interviews with band members with web members submitted questions.

I must of been one of the lucky first invites because I'm now in, got an official invite a few weeks ago. But I must say, the whole concept of this backpane thing I still don't get, I'm still just as clueless as to what it pertains to, to when I first signed up.

I noticed a few pictures getting posted on FB, which originally came from the backpane site, but what is the aim of the site?. I wish it would become more clear, and it might do in the near future but at the moment, I'm just waiting to see what happens.

Also had to do a questionarre a few days ago, in relation to what kind of fan I was, and that was kind of cool. But I still want to know more about this whole concept, maybe they are just getting started, we'll see.

I just got an email from Backplane saying the invite is on the way ....

I don't know what people expect from it.

Of course you can always find things to improve, but it's not as bad as some make it seem.


You do get access to things nobody else gets access to. Exclusive merchandise, fan club only areas of the web site...

I haven't lost interest.

Having said that, I'm not really interested in another t-shirt, another belt buckle, and another bandanna.

I would be happy to renew, at a discount, and forgo the swag.  And I sent them that feedback.

I think the club was pretty good, for an official fan club.  It provided similar offerings to what other clubs have.  I don't think you could expect much more.

Couldn't have said it better...

My membership ran out last week and I probably won't renew until I hear that things have changed.
The problems I had with the club was the lack of communication from from ctrl regarding issues like the contest, points, merchandise etc.

I guess my expectations were high but I still think ground ctrl did a piss poor job at running that joint. As for the exclusive digital content, Kat would post all of the "exclusive" photos from the Nightrain to her Facebook page for the world to see. I couldn't give a fuck who sees what, but it kind of takes away from the exclusivity of the club.

If things change I will renew I a heartbeat.


 

[jarmo]

I don't recall Kat posting those pics on her Facebook.

What I have seen is others posting them...

She posted a few. Don't ask me which ones. I can't remember for the life of me. But I remember Kat posting a fair few pics that were in the Nightrain section. I get it though, They're her photo's so why not? It was just one of those things that niggled at me. haha.

I would have loved to have seen an exclusive video section on Nightrain. Pro shot Video from throughout GN'R history. Or they should have just sent us the HOB 01/01/01 DVD as a sign up present. haha.

Can't justify renewing I'm afraid. There just isn't anything of value in there, I'm sorry.

A GNR beach towel that isn't even exclusive? Ah, yeah, okay...

Are there anyone here who are still a member and active in the official forum?

I'm asking because my three month extention expired some time ago, and I won't sign up for another year until they've got the new membership packages ready (what's taking so long anyway?)...

So, has Wade or any of the moderators said anything, or come with any updates concerning this?

[zqyx79]

My subscription was finished few days ago. No changes.

Damn... They are certainly taking their time. Ground Control promised a new membership package like 6 months ago, and still nothing.

[Estranged85]

My membership ran out last week. I won't renew unless some serious changes are made.

[GnR-NOW]

The only reason I renewed was invade they toured near me and offered VIP tix. $30 for the year is worth it to me for VIP

[Dead N' Bloated]

My membership has been up for about 2 months now. Has anything changed over there?
