GN'R on Backplane

[Spirit]

So, there's a backplane site for GN'R...

Anyone have any experience with what this really is?

I know Lady Gaga has one called littlemonsters. ---> http://littlemonsters.com/

I requested an invitation. Anybody else?

Me too, but it seems like it's not quite up and running yet.

Anyone here who knows more on how this concept works? As I understand it, it's a tool for the artists to get the fans more involved and include them.

I have absolutely NO CLUE of what a backplane is or how it works...but I'M IN!

If that's the case, I wouldn't hold out much hope given the band's complete lack of interest in the official fan club with the exception of a few Bumblefoot sightings!

I don't know, I don't have much use for a fan club.  Pretty much anything going on they want us to know about spreads like wildfire onto the boards.  Youtube is loaded with performances.  What do you want out of a fan club?

haha can't visit the site at work

Yeah, after I registered I got an email about getting an official invitation in the near future. But I'm not holding out for anything fast or groundbreaking. GN'R's interest in online sites and getting things going on them has been very lackluster the last couple of years... But they have done well recently with the addition of the official sites fan club etc. But that's part of the reason why we love Guns, and why we find it earth shattering when anything happens in an "official" online manner I suppose.

Maybe the girls on this site are WAY prettier than the others...

The fan club was well worth the price due to the opportunity it provided to purchase VIP Up Close N' Personal tickets..

[Evil Ash]

Jarmo, do you have anything to do with this?

Would be a shame if they didn't use your imput for this kinda thing!

[One.In.A.Million]

Got an email from this, regarding my request for an invitation. It basically says that they are interested in what kind of fan you are, and what you would be interested in getting from this. It asks you to respond with your social media links, and also any online forums you maybe involved in. Sounds like a cool idea, and I'm excited as to what this might relate to. I will reply with my links as soon as I finish work, as I'm currently replying via my iPhone. 

[Estranged85]

^^Yeah, I got that email too. Will reply to it later today

[gnr-4-ever]

I'm in.

[One.In.A.Million]

I actually never got round to replying to the first email, about what kind of fan I was etc... and I've already recieved 2 emails stating that I can now fully register, and how I'm one of the first and stuff. I don't know, maybe they could tell by my email that I'm a huge GN'R fan on FB, and regularly discuss GN'R and post photos and news etc?...

From what I gather though, I'm still not sure what this backpane thing is. I guess it's a kind of "street team" kind of thing right, where you are told what to post and are told to share certain things?, maybe I'm wrong... but it sounds really cool. 

[One.In.A.Million]

Yeah I'm in there too now, but can't seem to access anything at the moment. There's just this blank screen no matter what I press on the menu, even my profile?. I think there are a ALOT of bugs to be worked out, suppose we'll have to wait and see if they all get worked out. 

[Halo69]

I heard it's supposed to be a blog. Where they put a title and then people discuss, kinda like Facebook... i honestly think this is pretty useless...It would be more useful to make the FanClub free for the fans...

[LordRazZ]

Might not be a bad idea if it's a blog. Weeds out all the casual fans, and gives us more hardcore fans a louder voice. Well, in between all the "come to brazil" comments...

I thought the fan club was worth it to just for the VIP stuff

[Mr. Redman]

It's like a forum, meets facebook meets twitter all in one. Gonna take some time for me to get used to the platform but overall so far I like it a lot.
