Monty Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Can anyone who has signed up to the official fan club (The Nightrain?) share some details on their experience thus far? Do you feel you've gotten value for money? Has there been any interaction with the band members (most importantly Axl?)? What are the other perks?

Do you feel you've gotten value for money? Has there been any interaction with the band members (most importantly Axl?)? What are the other perks?It's absolutely awful! Seriously it's one of the shittest forums I've ever seen! I got a one month free trial for ordering one of the live streams and I won't be renewing my membership. The layout is hideous and as of this past month I think there's been pretty much zero benefits for members so $30-$50 for one live stream and a shitty t-shirt is a rip off.Oh, and if you think that some of the posters on here suck Axl's balls a little too much then wait until you see some of the fuckers on there. Seriously it's as though lolcano and Ali got together and spawned a rampaging horde of bastard love children.

What are the other perks?I rarely check it out but was able to win 2 tix to the Orlando UCAP show... so that in iteslf paid for the subscription fee.

Guest gunns5 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I'm more disapointed with ground ctrl, they're quiet unprofessional, it took them 3 weeks to activate my account so I can't see the forum/membership functionality changing all that quick.

Tonyp44 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I payed the 30 ti be a member and its pretty beat. The stuff we are suppose to get like the shirt and stuff has been delayed another month so we wont be getting that any time soon. The site is average at best the only thing that's keeping me interested is the point system. Other wise accpet for a chat with bumblefoot its not worth the money. There's no video no pics nothing, I think if they ever finish the site theu should extend the year long members a few months because were living in a half furnished apartment. So far a disappointment..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young_Gun Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 It's a shame. They should have gone with the same company that takes care of Metallica's website or NIN's website. Those sites kick ass, look good and have loads of features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F*ck Fear Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I paid for the premium account, and think it's a really cool site. After so many years of having nothing I figured to just do it. And you know what? When I get tired of reading crap by cupcakes etc, I can go there because these people paid for their accounts and that means less garbage posted. My only complaint is that there are no pages to click on in the threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now all of my extra money is going towards the concerts I'm attending with them this summer, so the membership will have to wait for now.
