PITBOSS Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 wow, not even one person jumped in to say they liked it or said it was worth it? i guess it's officially not worth it, such potential they have. oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaida Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 was watching The Spy Who Loved Me on TV the other day. The scene where the car drives out of the sea, there's a guy on the beach who can't believe what he is seeing and looks at the bottle of is drinking from. It possibly is a bottle of Nightrain.

Apollo Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Soooooooooooooo, the site turned out to be a pile of shit and a ripoff to all involved? Who'd 've thunk it eh? I mean I was sooooooo sure this was going to be such a glittering success. Isn't this something the worshippers always brag about when hyping the new management team and how the band is doing things differently now?

Kudos to Team Brazil for making this happen.Making what happen? Aside from some tacky merchandise and one livestream so far what else have members got for their $35/$50? Seems that it started out with a whimper and they lost interest pretty soon thereafter no? Assuming that the merch was a one time sweetener for joining I look forward to seeing how many people pony up the dough a second time, essentially for access to a shit forum.

Seems that it started out with a whimper and they lost interest pretty soon thereafter no?Oh, I am not saying the membership is worth the money, I was talking about the website not the fan club (or whatever Nightrain is).Assuming that the merch was a one time sweetener for joining I look forward to seeing how many people pony up the dough a second time, essentially for access to a shit forum. ...and cool pictures and an "official chat" (featuring Bumblefoot...occasionally)....all of which can be found elsewhere, too. It's sad to see so much potential wasted. But that's sort of like the story of Guns N' Roses, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HisRoyalSweetness Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) yeah but it's still best site gnr has ever had or probably ever will have. i'll bet they ditched the livestreams because it wasn't worth it. if team brasil really stays informed of gnr's fans via obsessive nerd boards, they probably expected to sell a bunch of streams. but i'll bet outside of the forum, there was very little demand. so why invest the money or effort in producing a product that only a few people will buy, and of those, half will still think it sucks.i'll bet they also expected lots of people to buy their shitty web memberships too. then when they saw how few people were actually willing to pay for exclusive photos of bloated modern day axl and the temporary guns, they ditched that idea too.axl just keeps takin' you suckers' money. the beauty part is, when he calls it "integrity," suckers still believe it. oh well... have fun buying $300 meet n' greets that axl won't attend. then he can sell you web access to exclusive photos of frank meeting fans in peoria. integrity.

Dazey Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Basically the streams are a waste of time unless they're broadcast live as far as I'm concerned. They shouldn't even bother with the London show now after all this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever I pay Axl anything I get more than my money's worth in return, whether it is his music which is among the best out there, or live shows that push three hours. I even feel the fan club (Nightain) has been worth the money, although it hasn't lived up to its expectations, yet, a fault I believe lies with groundcntl and no one else. So I have come to the conclusion you are probably deranged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
