Deff Leppard Vault. Not a big fan of the band but have heard good things about this "virtual museum". They currently have a live Q&A scheduled with Joe Elliot and Phil Collen. I don't know how much the Vault costs.
Springsteen we know plenty about, including the Archive Series and boxes over the years.
They are not the only two of course, but I think it shows what the Experience could be.
However, I think it was you who made a good point. The JBJ Experience is not like those other products, even though it was sold as being similar. It seems to be a direct replacement for the fan club. It is giving the fan club members exactly what they want it seems.
I think the big mistake here is how the product was marketed. It was marketed as a vault, as an archive series, when it clearly is not that. I personally think the promise of a box set in two years is insulting, whether he delivers it or not.

Hundred percent yeah. Other artists ARE doing it but it's artists that don't....suck at this type of stuff.
Yeah the Experience absolutely should have been marketed as the new fan club with some cool things here and there and less vault-heavy if it was going to be this long before putting out anything the diehards actually wanted. But they've curated that fan base so well it's insulting to us.
