GN'R Fan Club

[Sizzle]

It's been several weeks since the tour now, has anyone heard anymore info about the Fan Club that people who bought tickets through the GN'R site were supposed to become a member of?

[doooodickiebr]

heard nothing as of yet...

[The Legend]

I know, that stuff just died.

[Christos AG]

That "stuff" will probably be launched when the album is released.

You don't start an official fan club when you have nothing to give to the fans.

I believe that those who bought their tickets through the site, will get 3 months as promised.

GN'R keep their promises and are honest to their fans.

I really hope it takes off. It'd be great to have exclusive access to things such as videos, audio, merch, interviews & show tix!

Christos, surely that was sarcasm??

[Christos AG]

Why? Did they break a promise?

Or did they lie to their fans?

And don't give me speculation and rumours...

Axl says every year that CD "will be released this year".

I wouldn't call them lies, maybe Axl (and the rest of the band, Dizzy and Tommy) mean what they say at the time, and it doesn't work out, but the band has said enough BS to fill a book up now.

I know I heard Axl say its this year several times last year regarding CD.
Tommy, Dizzy, Brain and Fortus has said it plenty to, and Merch said that 2005 would be the year of Guns n roses.
I would call that broken promises.


To the almighty  moderator:
I got a negative carma for this, for telling the truth? And I dont care if I you give me another.

1st, I didn't give you the negative karma, but that's just cause someone else was here first.

You got the negative karma cause you posted a smilies only post with the addition of a "HAHAHA", which adds nothing to the conversation.

2nd, I believe that everything concerning the record's release date has been explained to detail from Axl on his last open letter to the fans. That's what honesty is.

Actually he said soon was not the word, which was in fact true.

[Loaded NightraiN]

Axl first heard of the Euopean Tour on the internet....

Yup I believe that one ?

Ok, don't believe it.

Now let's get back to the discussion about the fan club.

"Fall or late fall." - Axl discussing Chinese Democracy on the Eddie Trunk show, 2006

"It [Chinese Democracy] IS this year." - Axl at the 2006 MTV VMA's

Honest to their fans, eh?

you didn't read Axl's letter to the fans I take it.    He explained that.   At that time, it was understood the album WAS coming out in 2006.

Oh I read it, I just don't believe it. Watch March 6th come and go, and then what'll you say? He's doing what he always does: blame everyone else. He blames Merck for the mess, but it sounds to me like if Axl is still RECORDING, then it's not Merck's fault the album didn't come out last year. It simply was NOT finished, and I wonder who's fault that is.

I'm an Axl fan, a huge one actually. I wouldn't be here if I weren't. I like the new Guns N' Roses a lot more than Velvet Revolver, so it's not a case of me being a hater. I'm just sick of all the BS coming from the man. As I (and others) have said before, I won't believe anything regarding the album until it is in my hands. This includes the December "Open Letter" straight from Axl himself.

[littlefallsmets]

I'm pretty certain that every time a "date" has been set for Chinese Democracy by... Axl or someone legitimately in the new GNR camp... they've genuinely believed it. What's the benefit in a round of hype that they KNOW would backfire if it didn't pan out?

Maybe fake hype would be of a benefit... after two years idle? Three years idle? That it would "remind" that Axl and/or GNR and/or the album are still out there? Sure.

But ten or fifteen years later, there's no benefit. Returns have diminished on such things while negative effects have grown. Pretty sure everyone in that circle knows that. At this point, even tours aren't benefitted by those rumours... the BIG tour with the fifteen-minute sellouts isn't going to happen until there's an album on the shelves.

As a consumer, do you have a right to be be frustrated by the fact that... just because they've believed it was going to happen, didn't mean it was going to happen? Sure. Vote with your dollars by not buying tour tickets or new merchandise if you believe that.

Axl's instability, perfectionism and tendency to settle personal and business scores at the detriment of making studio albums... have pretty much always been the other side of the double-edged sword of the dude's brilliance at rock n' roll music.

You buy the GNR ticket, you take that ride. Axl's both probably a genius and probably a little bit crazy. You don't want that ride? Fine, don't buy the ticket. I'm pretty much at peace as a fan that... you don't get one without the other.

A dude swingin' that double-edged sword is gonna say a lot of things he means at that moment and... they're not all gonna come to pass. It isn't gonna be because the dude was "lying" at the moment, it's gonna be because the dude's particular kind of genius comes with a large measure of distractability and an instinct toward takin' his ball and going home when he isn't getting his way.

You don't like it? Don't like it, that's fine.

But to bitch and moan about being "lied" to by a person you've never met and will never meet... because of pre-existing negative conditions that are part and parcel of the positive benefits... it just comes off as childish and unproductive.

I've seen two of the Chinese Democracy iterations of GNR... once in Albany, NY years ago... once in LA, last month... and they were really f-ing good. I can wait, these people don't owe me anything.

If you don't like it, I'm sure... like... evanvescence has an album out or something for you. For twenty dollars, you can buy their CD and pretend they're good because you'd probably have sex with the girl singer if you were half-drunk at last call.

There are people who listen to music for reasons like that.

I, for one, am not one of them.
