WTF happened to Motley.com?!?!

[tedvanfrehley]

I was checking out www.motley.com today because I'm very interested in this whole reunion/farewell tour thing and they have totally revamped the website into what appears to be a FAN CLUB?!?! You gotta throw down some dough now to be able to get full access? What kind of fresh hell is this? SIXXSWINE what are your thoughts??? Johnny D???? MOTLEY FANS CHIME IN ON THIS ONE....

I guess the only reason this pisses me off (is because I have no life? haha) is that it wasn't long ago that NIKKI was attacking metallica for being greedy and all for going after napster...now it seems like he may be trying to round up some cash himself.

Don't get me wrong...I have nothing against him if he IS a greedy sumbitch...it's his for the taking if he can get it. (KISS is one of my favorites, afterall) but don't be a hypocrite. At least $immon$ admits that he wants your money!

That truly sucks. It pisses me off when there are many parts of a website you can´t view because you have to join the band´s fanclub. That smells of greed.

This is just lame, Nikki and his street cred my ass....
On metalsludge people are really slagging Motley for this.

Ughhhhh, this comes as total shock to me. I was just on there this past Sunday & this wasn't the case. Money hungry. That's a shame.
check out one of my Crue contact's site...

Found this on their webpage:

Dear Crue Heads,

In an attempt to bring you the best Crue site ever, Motley.com has teamed up with Signatures network. This new teaming will give us the means to provide you guys with content and features which you've been requesting for years. It is my goal to make sure the new Crue site is as open and "free" as it's always been. No Crue fans will have to pay to post on SHOUT, read the news,Rock and Roll Diary, band bio pages or discography pages.

In addition to the free sections of the new Motley.com, we've decided to bring back the Motley Crue S.I.N. Fan Club! When you join the fan club you will receive a new S.I.N. shirt designed by Motley Crue, access to members only sections of SHOUT, tons of video (Nikki just gave us over 50 tapes, some going back to 1984!!!) and audio content, discounts at the new on-line Crue store and pre-sale tickets for premium seats to any upcoming Motley tours.

I'm very sorry about the confusion this migration may have caused, so we are switching back to the old version of Motley.com until we have the new version of the site ready to launch. In the mean time you can continue to use Motley.com just has you have for the last 10 years! If you are interested in more details about the new S.I.N. club,
