45 RPM Club (the official TGA fan club)

Mine arrived few days ago #791 also dont mind the t shirt now when its on

yeah, finally it arrived, #810, i'm happy with this
i thought i'd get #1000 or higher

Does anyone remember el jefe mentioning that he designed a special poster exclusively for the fan club? I remember him saying that it was his favorite of a series of posters, and that because of it, he was inspired to create more posters. I haven't heard about a fan club poster since that comment early in the summer.

Do we also know when there will be any other developments with the fan club? (sharing live recordings, pics etc.)

#532 from Germany (first day subscriber)
Finally received a day ago

Ordered first day, mailed them several times my tshirt size aswell as asking where my stuff is. No answer. Now this week I get an email asking what my tshirt size is. Seriously? So I answered them, saying I'd mailed it to them before. Bit dissapointed by this whole thing. Taking long plus pre-sales weren't really pre-sales here either as other sites sold at the same time. Pff...

just got mine last week..I'm the lucky owner of #69

#967

Got mine today .. number 44

Nice and low! Well done sandinista... What's your username mean btw?

maybe it's best we all pretend you never asked that question ...

lol sorry I'm not much of a clash fan!

Signed up 9/24 and got my card today. #1871

I wish fan club members would of gotten meet and greets for the rise against tour. Oh well, maybe when they do a US headlining?

Or even better than a meet and greet would be getting to watch sound check (which I hear happened for some people at Brixton?). I mean we are already incredibly lucky to often get to meet them after shows so I'd rather save the official meet and greets for if they decide to or have to stop coming out afterwards. But I am jealous of these instore acoustic things. The UK folks seem to have the monopoly on that one! Lucky bastards!

when i was in the alkaline trio fan club a long time ago, they had a soundcheck/meet and greet which was perfect because it was only like 15 people and so awesome to be able to get the opportunity to talk to them without a million others around. i have never been able to meet anyone in gaslight after a show especially on the rise against tour where the buses were locked behind gates in a huge venue, so i was indeed sad. i can always hope for an in-store at the record stores we have around here! but i've also been in other band fan clubs that did no soundchecks/meet and greets

See it`s already been pointed out ... The Clash ! BTW try London Calling , NOT sandinista as a Clash primer .
Back on topic , signed up day one but never received anything . Mailed them a week or so ago and they didn`t have my shirt size . Less than 2 weeks from then to receiving the pack , and I live in the UK . Pretty good all told

I orderered September 25th and my stuff was shiped this week! Let's see when it will arrive!

You really don't want the band to start doing meet and greets. I PROMISE.

The Goo Goo Dolls started doing them and now they neverhang out around their bus and they just put in their 30 minutes and say hi and take a picture with you. It's TERRIBLE and impersonal and you don't even get to have conversations with them....

If Gaslight did this I would be heartbroken, because what makes them so special is how kind and accessable they are to their fans

NO MEET AND GREETS!!!

I was only thinking of Fan Club meet and greets, i didn't think it would be such a bad thing. I would imagine a band as huge as the goo goo dolls would never be able to meet fans anyways except for winning station contests or something. I guess everyone else has just had better luck with the band being "accessible" after shows. Then again you've seen them 11 times and me only 2

Yeah! That's funny, it's exactly what the Goo Goo Dolls... They have a fan club that has a $30 membership fee each year, and then you can enter to win a meet and greet (each show I htink 15 fans win) and then the winners take a picture and shake hands with the band.

It's basically a cattle shuffle kindof thing..

I'm a huge fan of both GGD and TGA... TGA draws a bigger crowd than GGD in some markets... They're well on their way!

That sucks that you have to enter to WIN the meet and greet well regardless, I hope that we get some cool stuff from being in the club my shirt fits me really well.

Amen! I actually really like the shirts!

I can't wait for the vinyl that was mentioned before!

I agree! Meet and greets are so impersonal... that's the way I met my favorite band when I was 14 (I refuse to say who it was, it's embarrassing haaaha), and it was such a let down. Gaslight is so good at connecting with their fans -- it would be a shame for them to begin m&gs.

I guess that gives me hope for the future then! and nothing is embarrassing! I won't judge you
