I guess you can look at it two ways:
1. It stinks to have to pay to navigate on ANY bands website. Especially with today’s economic times. Plus, loyal fans of White Chapel will by their merch anyways, regardless of charging a membership fee.
“OR”
2. Having a band today is a business, no matter how you slice it or dice it. Making $$$ is the name of the game in order to survive… in any career.
I tend to lean towards… hey, “we” consumers “subscribe” to magazines, cable television and pay-per-view. I myself, will most likely forgo “buying” a membership to the White Chapel website. Why? I’ll watch the videos this band puts out and read their interviews just about anywhere else on this huge internet that we… “pay” to have! Plus, I already purchased their new CD – “A New Era Of Corruption” and have given this band “2” FREE “plugs” on Metal Odyssey to boot!
BTW… White Chapel does kick some serious Metal butt. This new album has nearly blown what hair I have left on my head right off.

I believe that anyone has the right to earn a buck legally any which way possible. In my opinion charging for a membership will discourage many marginal fans from becoming loyal die-hard fans!! To me it’s nickle and diming. They’re only musicians!!!

Compared to what Hollywood actors command in salary per movie and the “bonuses” that our “elected” politicians give to themselves EVERY YEAR… I’ll side with the musicians any day.
Upon my first reading into the White Chapel website – membership… I was questioning the whole idea myself. After taking a few Metal steps back, I realize that Metal is business too. Just look at how much it costs to buy damn popcorn and soda at the movie theater these days! And these same movie theaters don’t have recycle bins either!!!
LONG LIVE ROCK!
Plus… it’s not like “you have to” purchase this White Chapel website membership… it is only an option. Besides, we pay for “sillier” things in life… like extra absorbent toilet paper.
