arian Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 i just emailed this to the idiot club staff.alright, so whats the deal with this? a few years ago i used to be able to listen to the home audios of green day on your site for free, but now that theyre so huge you decide to charge me 20 dollars? 20 dollars to be a fan and join the idiot club? i dont think so. Did Green Day themselves agree to this, or is this just another trick of a big corporation to squeeze a few bucks out of people? Because the green day i remember wouldnt charge people 20 dollars to be in their fan club. Im 16 and dont have any spare money, and if i did i wouldnt use it to support this. So if you would be so kind as to give me a free membership, please do. and if not, at least respond to this and tell me why your doing this and foreward this to green day themselves and ask if they agree. thank you.do you think theyll respond?We can only hope. I'd really like to know what they have to say..edit: I want to know what Green Day think too.. What about the population of fans that can't afford it?

Fuzz Posted July 10, 2006 Author Share Posted July 10, 2006 i just emailed this to the idiot club staff.do you think theyll respond?Your sending off an email to the staff, who is not in charge of coming up with fee's, nor should they be responsible for putting up with little kids who feel the need to bitch over something like that. You guys complain that there isn't enough in the Idiot Club, nor is it hardly worth the $20, but you'll go and bitch to the admin's of the place?The "Green Day you remember" charged money back in the day for their fan club too.

loftanab Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 they don't care what you have to say as long as they're making money, and i'm sure green day is aware of it as well.anyways, it's a business, you don't expect to get into a concert for free, or get a poster for free. just like those things the membership is a kind of good that feeds off the bands popularity, just like everything else WB is gonna charge us for it.why would you want to be part of that crap anyways, GDA and GDC are way better than that.

I've said multiple times that i'm against stuff like that, and thats why we run GDA free-of-charge. But I am against people sending angry emails to people who have better things to do.

dumbstruck27 Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Well I say thank God for GDC. No charge, a reduced number of annoying fans, and still a place to talk about our favourite band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy's_Rebel Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 it sounds really annoying. You should just go there and act like the admin - all tell them to stop being teenies and stuff. They probably know who you are anyway - they've probably visited here. unfortunately.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catholichornet Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 I'm thinking about joining... I just had a few questions about it for the current members-First- I know there's a 20 dollar down-payment or something, other than that, is there some kind of monthly fee?Second- I know it has a good selection of videos... what else is there to offer?And third- is it worth the money?

Light My Fire Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 i joined a fan club once and it sucked. i got crap things then about 4 months into they changed the site and had no idea what the site was and that was 1 thing that added to the price.

I dunno, I never joined cause its stupid how it costs money. I'd rather be here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
