Obviously most fans, like myself retain their Ten Club Membership for access to Tickets but let's be honest, the band has done close to nothing for Fan Club in the last 15 years.
I think it's been 20 years since they put out an original song as a Christmas single... 
The Newsletters are silly, the side projects...Ughh
Hopefully Andrew Watt can pull something together with these guys.

    so people get old, and almost 60 yr old versions of people arent as good as their 25-30 year old selves?

    fascinating

    Good to have opinions.

    No one is forcing you to be in the club.  It is optional. A choice even some would say. 

    15 years =

    backspacer, lb, gigaton, plus upcoming album if it lands this year

    An album every 5 years for a band this late in their career is a pretty good average.  If they hit one in 2023 as alluded to in the "big things happening this year" message (since we can agree 9 shows isn't necessarily big things) the average goes down.

    11 tours in 15 years
    1 year MIA due to covid 2020
    3 off years as a band decision 

    Seems reasonable for the $30 to $40 a year to me.  Those 3 off years probably had access to vaults and what not.

    I've been waiting 40 years for my favorite band to put out a new album.  1 reworking of a song in 1986 and a tour 15 years ago. The guitarist is 80 now so I'm starting to worry it won't happen. Talk about lazy. I'm driven to tears sometimes.
