The cd came with "Don't Stay" from Jimmy Kimmel, the only rare thing in the whole package. You get: Calendar, Letter, Postcards, Pin, Stickers, CD, Shirt (well worth it), Membership Card, Newsletter, DCShoes.com Discount card, LPU Merch 15% discount, tickets presales, meet and greet exclusiveness, website access. The website doesn't have any exclusive news or anything, it's all put up on LP.com, sometimes earlier. The video is just 2 or 3 videos of the guys in the airports. And there's no rare audio. The forums are full of teenies, too. Chats are just as regular with LP.com than they are with LPU.com and the guys post on the LPMB way more than LPUMB. I think the shirt/odds and ends/cd for collective purposes makes it worth it.
Most band shirts cost around $20 online. The LPU is basically like that, only you get all the extras with the shirt, as well as a CD, for only $5 more. That's why I like it. Granted the CDs aren't that great, but the odds and ends make up for it, as Mark said.
I guess I'll join for the tee and bragging rights (but really, who wants to be associated with a bunch of teenies? you dont see 'proud member of the LPMB' in my sig ).
Yea. You're all mostly right. The LPU is kinda teeniefied. The Shirt does rock, and you cant beat meeting the band before the shows and being first in line (or on line hahahah....) for tickets. And its another plus when the band says "This One is for the LPU" and "LPU, U GUYS ROCK" or just even mentioning LPU makes me feel special. Its worth joining, for sure, if you really enjoy LP's music. But most good things arent kept secret or "underground" for long.. Much like the gold rush in the 1840s..
I think that it is going downhill but it is still awesome. I joined 2 years ago and got the EP. I think that has been the best thing. I also liked the 1st shirt the best. I think the meet and greets are great and how they gave one free ticket to the LPU tour was awesome. The boards on the LPU are ok. A lot of stuff is posted 20 times and a lot of people are teenies as already. Overall, I think it is well worth the money but there are way too many people on it now.
I think there to many peopl joined on to the site now for the meet nad greets [EDIT]so No I didnt get the LP M&G thing becouse my pop-up messed up soo yea but I was wondering if any other LPU'ers on this site are going to the Toronto 24th show and to that M&G and could like take me or something like that you know I just have to find a way to make it there.
Well, LP isn't coming anywhere near me except for the Toronto and Montreal shows, which I can't goto due to exams, and I already have access to the site... Plus I could just download the LPU cd if I wanted to... So really, I'm paying all that for a t-shirt. It's a good deal, compared to what I'd pay for a LP tshirt in a store, I just have issues waiting for things. Seems like too much of a hassle for me. Maybe in 4.0 if they release a better package...
If you live close to LPU Headquarters (I guess it's in Los Angeles, could you just go and pick up your package?
No. [/b][/quote] Man, that sucks. Makes me even more impaitent. Oh well, shipping shouldn't take that long.
I agree with what Mark and Will said. Yes, the forums are kind of... blech. But thats what lpa is here for. The shirt looks really cool and perhaps the cd isn't what everyone expected but the other stuff make up for it. Also, if you're the type of person who goes out. The Meet and Greets and all that are great. I think its a great thing. I was planning on signing up on a Meet and Greet for a friend but.. the list is full on that date. :\ Still, I think LPU is great. I mean, come on. You get more than your moneys worth. *Enjoys her 15 percent off*
now is the time that i wish i had $1000 to burn. i have no money. and as i am canadian, $25 US is like $40 CND so that sucks. i have no money, my parents dont want to "waste" money on it.... it sucks :'( i want money! anybody want to contribute in my charity for "give me money so that i can join the LPU?" come on.... you know you wanna please? please? come on.... i said please!
The LPMB actually has less teenies on there. I guarantee at least 50% of the people on the LPU has a password that consists of "mikeishot"
sorry if its been said but isnt LPU 3.0 cd just the 6 tracks thatr were on the LiT DVD and not the cd?
I used to use "DamnitIcantthinkofapassword" as a password. But someone found out. Than I used "a". But someone found out. So now I use the ultimate password. :chemist:
