I mean, at this point not having to see a NITL show is what I would consider a win. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a low-effort bullshit money grab. Cheap-looking shirt and hat. Live CD without mentioning the contents, and only available on the premium package. And the promise of a “chance” at presales for an upcoming tour. So using fans’ FOMO against them. That presale stuff has been pretty much redundant since 2016. Not hard to get a ticket to see GNR these days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh shit, that would mean me sort of betting ON Team Brazil to deliver something and you betting against them like a sane person. This goes against everything I believe in. But it's too late now I suppose. You're on! Please note that if I win, it'll still feel like a very hollow victory. I'm going to go for a shower. I feel dirty.

I feel dirty. The golden rule of being a GNR fan....'expect the very bare minimum'. If it helps, I'm kind of rooting for me to lose and for it to be an amazing release which fully justifies the $50 price tag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not hard to get a ticket to see GNR these days! Even in 2016/2017, I always had better luck with GNR tickets using other presales versus the Nightrain presale. Live Nation/Ticketmaster has been a goddamn shit show this past year though in regard to inflated pricing and the illusion of high demand. Worse than ever I mean. There are several shows I would have loved to see, but not at Ticketmaster prices. Hundreds of dollars for faraway seats at Smashing Pumpkins and Rod Wave. Fuck. That. I wonder how much GNR pit will be this year in North America. It’s pretty consistently been around $250 since 2016. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went on a rant on one of the other threads about Ticketmaster.....so many gigs I don't attend now due to their 'variable pricing', illusion of high demand etc etc. It's basically what happens when someone gets a monopoly. You can guarantee the tickets will be pricey, that's for sure.....even without Ticketmaster seeing how high they can push them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelostrose Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 I just got the GnR newsletter and there it says, the CD is coming for the standard membership as well. Seems it’s not a total dick move after all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulMonster Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 And that more information will come regarding the disc. So people won't have to buy it without not knowing more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChristmasFnatic Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Imagine if they release even a demo of an unreleased song(and I am sure they got dozens if not hundreds)- the membership will sell like hotcakes! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightrain live? items aside, do GNR tix sell out quick that an early access would be advantageous? no, maybe back in 2016 with the "reunion" it was a hot ticket, but since than GNR Tickets are readily available in whatever area you want, but they of course charge alot for the good areas so you have to pay more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick85 Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 This is gross. New music has never been more necessary to prove there is literally any creative interest left within GNR. Man oh man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick85 Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 (edited) This “Nightrain Live” CD is basically this management regime showing us their ass in the worst way imaginable.

PatrickS77 Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 In the e-mail it says: This year's packages are limited-edition, only available to Nightrain Members (while supplies last)! What the hell does that mean?? I'm not a current member, so only current members can get the package? And what exactly is limited edition?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You buy this crap, expecting to get something out of it, other than being able to buy tix a day earlier and then, oops, too bad, supplies don't last!. You don't get anything else. Fuck that shit.

Don't forget the 'package content subject to change at any point' bit. You may get the stuff they say.....you may not. Up to them. That's outrageous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
