    That site is not working for me :(

     

    I can't belive that MTV Germany does not broadcast this. I think it's the first time they don't and the first time for years I do want to see it :P

    Why is that? Maybe you have to update your flash or something?

    What happen with my LPU membership? I'm on LPU just about 5 months. If I won't register myself on LPUX i lose my membership in October, only after 6/7 months of my registration?If causually LP comes to Portugal in November, I won't have the chance of meet them on the M&G?

    You won't lose your membership. It'll expire at the end of the date shown in your account section at LPU ;)

    For the 12098423402834th time... this is not the LPUX CD.

    Who said it is? "Members who preorder the ANNUAL LPUX online membership will have instant access to A Decade Underground download compilation of 10 LPU tracks" So there will be 10 new tracks? Don't think so. All of those will be from the 10 LPU years from what i understand. Hmm let me think, i got LPU 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 so I got those songs already ;) other released in LPU also. So it's still the polished turd as far as i know.

     

    Again no hard feelings, You're our only connection with the LPU. Thanks for all Your answers so far :)

    Wow that's awesome. What london date you going to? I'm going to the second show. Still very intruiged about the new album.

     

    Happy that I'm not the only one feeling like we're losing something that was special. I've been very lucky with m&g's in the past, they used to be first come first serve though.

     

    Also does anyone else feel like this 'Decade of LPU' CD is going to just be a rehash of 'Sounds of the Underground'?

    I'm going to the 2nd one :) So You'll get Your beer.

    So m&gs were better I think. Now Instead of really equal choosing it's "Eeny, meeny, miny, moe" thing...

    Decade = SFTU. exactly ;)

     

    It makes you think that they just want more money for less/same stuff. Add 1 song and you have a brand new old/new EXCLUSIVE cd..."Polish a Turd, It's Still a Turd" ;)

    Thanks for the beer - could do with one at the minute! lol.

     

    It's not going to be cheap for me either :(. Going to one LP show. Tickets worked out as £90 for two. Then a train trip to london will work out as £37 each. If we get merch or anything to eat... it could easily setus back up to £200 ($300). That's 2 people going to see LP once. Heck the LPU gave us free tickets multiple times back in 2003.

     

    Least this year I won't have to worry about customs puting tax on my lpu package... unless I order an LPU CD :/

    Well get this: I'm going from Poland to London show. Imagine how expensive it'll be ;)

    About what You wrote: man, you just got into my head and pasted what has been in my mind LOL seriously so many shows and no m&g. Listening events: US or Germany. Why not other countries?

     

    Haha and the package itself well if you pay with you credit card it costs alot more with the currency exchange + taxes. Well in past LPUs you got the package but now there's nothing and you still have to pay another $ to get the cd which brings us again to currency exchange ;)

     

    I have an idea! Lets make LPU for US-based citizens only! It looks like the band doesn't know about our problems with money. No, wait! So many shows in Germany? WTF?

    Adam - can I just get this straight.

     

    So the price has doubled.

     

    The package (which of some of us did actually like, it was the only reason to renew when the band wasn't touring) has gone.

     

    Stuff like the LPU CD you have to pay for now to get a copy.

     

    You get a download of tracks that a lot of us have already got?

     

    Presales - but that won't be useful if the band is not touring in someone's area. And haven't you noticed that ticket prices are doubled aswell since last tour? Fans can't afford them!

     

    M&Greets have declined in how they were. My last M&G experience (the one at MK Bowl), as previously mentioned, I ended up having to organise the LPUers along with two other senior members. Then the band flat out ignored most of us as they were more intersted in two fans who paid £1000 to MFR for their place. Soon after that it was announced that only one band member would attend m&g.

     

    So why the *expletive* has the price doubled? That has yet to be explained. Yeah you might be working on cool stuff, but is that stuff now worth the huge amount extra that's placed on the price? If so then you should really think of how you've advertised this change as you might need to put some of those incentives down to actually show this year is going to be better. 'Coming soon' doesn't explain the price hike. Do these cool things actually apply for international people? Or should anyone not US based just give up with the LPU now?

     

     

    In the end I care a lot about the LPU, I was a mod, I was on the support staff, I was on the street team when there were only a few of us in the UK. I've spent hours and hours working on and with the LPU and promoting the band in general. I never got paid - and rarely got noticed. So I do care a lot - and do feel that from what's being said that you are now just making everything more expensive. This will promote piracy and the cool things that you make will be replicated if digital, heck as seen it's taken a certain russian site only a few hours to get the 'exclusive' promo track up.

     

    The LPU used to be about not making a profit and also family and friend interaction at shows. Parents used to buy packages for their kids and it was great to interact at shows. At $60 that's not going to happen, and while the shirt might be sneered at by some it was a great distinguisher at shows.

     

    The reason people stopped using the LPU site is that it provided very little in the way of anything different. A messageboard that got so bogged down due to lack of support from admin (I was a mod on it so I know that this was true), a load of social media features that people weren't interested in as they have twitter and facebook. A chatroom that couldn't be controlled. Some videos that were updated once in a blue moon and in most cases were only verging on the side of interesting. How about exclusive articles, live webcam chats with the band - not just user-generated content.

     

    This is from someone who has been there since almost the beginning (I just cliped the end of 1.0), back when you could just log into AIM and chat with Jess. So far I've yet to see anything that justifies a $60 price tag for a year membership. Many of my old LPU buddies plan not to renew so far.

     

    If there is this much negative response from fans, something has gone wrong on the admin side. You maybe about to start the most amazing LPU year ever, if that's the case then you needed to keep quiet about it until you could reveal 'the amazing things you have planned. Now it's a case of winning fans back around... and justifying a $60 price tag.

    And You my friend just earned a beer ;) "LIKE"

     

    As for the ticket price add that some of us have to travel long distances to see LP. It's not cheap...

    Hmm so there are some things I don't know. Sorry. But my point is if LPUX will be the best so far I just want to "be a part of it" in case of Meet & Greets in example. And packages: Seriously, thats a bad decision imho.

     

    Well, i just wait and see. If there will be better things than the packages, You have a 2nd beer from me ;)

    So in LPUX we get less for more money. Tell me Adam what can you (the LPU) give instead of the package which imho was the 1st thing lots of people wanted? I mean ok there are/will be presales, exclusive chats where, lets be honest, not everyone have the opportunity to just ask 1 damn question. Oh I forgot about the M&G....well in all those years in the LPU I've never been to the thing. Why? I seriously know few people who were in at least 2 meet and greets, better - one after another. I know that people are chosen "randomly" but how the hell? Make every LPU member equal. Get a system that goes through all and choses randomly for sure (checking if the chosen one has already been to m&g in example)

     

    As for the packages again: If LPU releases something like LPU 7 don't blame people that they are angry about it ;) Removing the package option won't solve the problem. And charging more money for the membership is BS. "Pay more and have the opportunity to meet the band" yeah right....

     

    Lets be clear on what i just wrote: I'm not blaming You, Adam, just the management for so stupid ideas....Well, if I ever do get into a m&g maybe my statements will change. For now there's less than before..

     

    EDIT: Those "cool things" You've mentioned - well i want to see first. Honestly i don't have a clue what can be more cool than the package arriving at my door...

    Since i have this version of the song I am listening to it over and over again and it grows bigger and bigger in me . From the 1st listening I said " f*ck is this going to be my OLD LP " then I realized that I don't want my OLD LP i want something NEW and now I love it . And I know that the song is more than this that we have .

    Well there you have it, something new you hadn't expected huh? I just can't wait to hear the full song AND the new album!

    Hmm I would love to get Summer Sanitarium Tour intro (i know what some of you would say but hey, wasn't it great?:P)

    but on the other hand new song or OSC/New Divide with new extended intro would be cool :)
