rochambo Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Mine states it was delivered to FLOWER MOUND, TX 75028 Oh..... ok.... Can someone that DID receive theirs check the tracking number to see if it is actually correct for it. I received mine a week and a half ago, but the tracking number says it went to Seattle. Wonder when we will get 'renew membership' information? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McNeder Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 It was sure as hell not sent out in order of the numbers. I'm #14, so I should've got it already, but nothing. I know Austria is a bit further away, but still...this is ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaggle Von Swift Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I received mine a week and a half ago, but the tracking number says it went to Seattle. Wonder when we will get 'renew membership' information? If they are smart, they will get all the records out and all of this shit situated before trying to get more money out of people.

Guest mastenator Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I ordered my membership on 6/21/12, moved and updated my address with IM on 12/7/12. I got my 7" today. They sent it to my old address. Bent corners and seam splits. I never even got a tracking number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nivek87 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I emailed requesting tracking info since others had recieved their records and others has mentioned tracking info being available (which I couldn't find) and wanted to make sure it was goin to my new address. I was told to be patient. How does people getting records mailed to old addresses have anything to do with my patience. I asked them in my reply just to confirm my address because others mentioned it being sent to old addresses and its not a matter of my patience but lack of communication during the past year and negligence to send to updated addresses is what the problem is, not patience. These guys behind this have horrible customer service and are crazy to call me out on patience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billya Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Mine came in today. The sleeve is paper, but it isn't too light. I am glad to finally have this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys behind this have horrible customer service and are crazy to call me out on patience I emailed them a while back to have my address changed, and they confirmed the 7" would be mailed to the new address because it hadn't gone out yet. When I got mine, it was forwarded from my old address, so they obviously didn't change it like they said they would. Hopefully you're getting your mail forwarded because even if they confirm the new address it might get sent to the old one anyway... Makes me a little nervous about renewing since in a year USPS mail forwarding will stop for me, and there's no way to get a 100% accurate answer from them about what address they'll send stuff to. Not that this year has made it very tempting to renew anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xadamhudsonx Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Still waiting on mine, and from the sound of it the package was mailed to my old address (even though it had been updated). Like Jane said, it doesn't instill much confidence in renewing after everything being such a hassle this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr. sincere Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 In all seriousness, I think it's time for the band to step in and say something to everyone who paid $25 for this nonsense. Especially if they're already asking for more money without resolving these issues first in any kind of meaningful way. I mean this is being carried out in their name and as much as I like to rag on them, I do know that their fans are important to them and they've gone out of their way in the past to do cool things. I'd like to see them say something, because this really cannot go unaddressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexicondevil Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Someone posted a tirade on the band's FB that pretty much hits all points. My suggestion is go there and add to that post and maybe TGA will actually read it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idreamofpunk Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Where are you finding tracking numbers? The only tracking number I'm seeing in relation to my Fan Club membership is the initial package with that shitty shirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xadamhudsonx Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Still nothing for me either... =/ In related news through, Brian released a statement on the band's Tumblr after their show in NYC last night: "Tonight You Have Broken My Heart" Tonight we played the third show of a three night stand in NYC. It was a beautiful venue at Pier 26 and we played with one of my favorite bands the Hold Steady. But tonight, after the show, I found myself with some things I feel I need to say that have been a long time coming… I play music because something stirs inside of my heart and it needs to be expelled. I have found from a young age that music is the avenue which relieves me. It allows me to say words and choose notes that speak to my own soul. It comforts me. There are people who have found something in my band’s songs that speak to them as well. I’ve met some of them, they come to our shows and have purchased our records because they’ve found something that speaks to them somewhere in the things we have created. That, to me, is amazing. However, I feel it necessary to address that we are The Gaslight Anthem. We play Gaslight Anthem songs. We’re not the band you think we may be akin to. My name isn’t Bruce, It’s not Eddie, or Joe, or Paul either. If you’d like to hear their songs they are readily available and the former two tour quite often. You should go see them, they put on great shows. They play long sets over two hours sometimes. It’s truly amazing to watch them at their craft. But again, we’re not them. We have a different set of rules. We’re on a different course, because we aren’t them and can’t be them. We have to find our path, because that’s the only honest thing we can do. Which is where I find myself now, proud of what we’ve done, and where we’ve come from, but it’s time to find the next thing. Time to create a new sound, time to create the next Gaslight Anthem.We will always play those songs, but we will never be that band again. When I was 27 years old we wrote a record called the ‘59 Sound. It was our first break. We got to work with a wonderful man named Ted Hutt who taught us things we never would’ve known without him. I was a kid pouring his heart out about what moved him inside and what I loved. Now I have to be a man pouring my heart out about what moves me inside. Bands who have long careers change. Drastically. That doesn’t mean they no longer like what they did in the past or what got them where they are. It means they have to create and be true to who they are RIGHT NOW, not be true to what people want them to be. To say that bands don’t owe their fans anything is wrong. They owe them the truth of their art. They owe them a performance of songs they’ve written at that specific show as they are that evening. The ticket doesn’t promise what happened at a show three years ago, or five years ago, or ten years from now. Live music is beautiful that way, because it’s that night only. It’ll never be that show again. When you go see a band it’s a gamble, like going to see a movie. You may not like it in the end. But you can’t change it. It is what it is. The only difference between bands and movies is that one show might be 90 minutes, one show might be three hours. But the ticket just says what band is playing. It doesn’t make promises of that cover they did once,or that guest they had last week, or… your favorite song. Here’s an example of what I’m talking about… I love the movie Kill Bill. I love Uma Thurman, but no matter how hard I wish or yell at the screen, or insult, or wave my hands. She’s not coming over after the film. No matter how many times I watch it. It’s also not gonna change, it’s not gonna add a scene or delete a scene just because I want to get to my favorite part quicker. She’s not gonna make out with me because I think she’s pretty. She doesn’t owe me anything because I like her or her movies. She is not her work. I am not my work. I am a guy who happens to have felt some things and gotten in a band that put those things to music and a few people thought it spoke to them. That’s a miracle to me that I remember everyday. I’m going to go away from the press and interviews now until we finish writing our next record and find out what we will be in the next chapter of our artistic careers. I have nothing left to say until we find what that next chapter of our band is. To our fans… please bear with us through this awkward period of finding our new legs. I’m being honest with you here because I am grateful for your loyalty to my band. To the spiteful reviewers… just remember no one’s singing for you. I’m asking openly and humbly that if anyone would like to come to a Gaslight Anthem show, please come because you want to see what we’re doing on that night. Don’t come to see Bruce, he won’t be there. Don’t come to hear a cover, it probably won’t happen. Don’t come to yell at me when I’m trying to share something with the audience to reach out to them about something I feel is moving me. For some reason I’m the one with microphone, which may be a mistake entirely. But if you want one and have something to say, please start a band, get in the van, sleep on floors, and work your butt off and maybe one day I’ll find your band and I’ll come see you play. But I swear I will not yell at you or call out for you to play one of your influences songs… because I’ll be there to see you.

billya Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Meh. I saw them in Asbury Park and they didn't play Blue Jeans. I don't think it is too wrong to be a little upset about not seeing them play a song in the town that the song is about. I feel for him that they still get people trying to make him into a giant Springsteen 2.0, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr. sincere Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Pretty interesting comments from a guy who lists every impossible-to-reach band and songwriter that he now wants everyone to disassociate him from, as reference points for what each new record he writes will sound like...I mean even if all that is a joke, you can't blame some people for taking it seriously. I give them one or two more records before Brian ends Gaslight and gets a new band. Because in the end, this album they're writing will inevitably sound and be received like a Gaslight Anthem record and that's clearly not working for him anymore. jerseypride 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossdj26 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 ^ Yah, I was at all three shows this weekend. Sunday's crowd was a bit weak and Brian didn't seem as enthusiastic as the other nights to be honest. I think it was just a bad combination all around. He was in the mood to talk and the crowd wasn't having it especially after a short first set and all the rain. I understand he got a little annoyed but it hurt me a little to see him get pissed off in the front of the crowd and then to go and make a blog post like that. Not very rock and roll They killed it Friday and Saturday night though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GradedOnACurve Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I was there Friday and Saturday and his stage banter now is really awkward. I don't know what else to say but something seems off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, it was a bit awkward but at least the crowd jumped on board with him. Sunday not so much. Just something I noticed too. On Sunday, he came out with a beer in his hand and threw back a couple during the show. Wasn't his whole thing he never drank and performed? Maybe the two have something to do with each other. This is how rumors start, by the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GradedOnACurve Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I always thought he was sober. Correct me if I'm wrong but I could of sworn when I met him back in the day he had stopped drinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runforcover Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I hung with him a bunch one year and he definitely didn't drink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
