ChristmasFnatic Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Even other bands just announce it straight up or let media outlets announce it. Why the suspense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I agree it could have been worded differently. But, I don't think the tweet was as you said, "deliberately misleading the fanbase into a false frenzy" and I don't think that tweet, in and of itself, was creating any real "hype".Are you aware that Nik Souris controls GNR's social networking? He is intricately involved in the development of 'backplane' software used by an ever growing number of artists. That is his purpose, he is schooled in social networking, i.e. the use of 'buzz' words, effective ambiguity, generally the art of PR through online media. I would accept your theory, if this was the first or second time we've found ourselves eventually disappointed by a poor, or in this crafty choice of words which creates a false sense of expectation. In the past they've said things like 'laying some tracks on Facebook'- it's all designed to achieve the greatest online buzz attainable.I was not aware of who Nik Souris is and what he does. But, I don't think that is germane to my point. I agree completely that the intent was to generate buzz, no argument there. But, I don't see going from that to deliberately misleading, frankly. Could it have been worded better? Sure. Was the wording designed to create buzz? Sure. Was it designed to deliberately mislead the fanbase? I don't see that personally. Or, at least, I don't see how that is certain.Ali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerage5 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 The band is offering VIP packs that start at $170, and include early entry. Fuck that - it'll be like UCAP all over again where if you want to be on the barrier, you'll have to shell out for VIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
