Ok so this is the deal.. I've been collecting (and even more importantly, listening to) GN'R bootlegs for years. I have all my stuff pretty much unorganized, so I got this idea about a database with all the infos. There I could easily search for what I'm looking for. Like there is an info.txt-file with every bootleg you download, and in the file is "quality", "setlist", "duration", etc.. usually I end up opening many many many of these files while searching for a show I'd like to hear at that moment. From a database it would be much easier.. I could search by quality, soundboard/audience, location, venue, songs, and so on..
So this would be just for me. Then I thought that maybe someone else would like to use that database too. It would be very easy to turn into a
simple website.. no downloads and no ads or anything. Just the info, presented in a clear form! Maybe covers to download if possible. And also I've been thinking about a commenting system for every bootleg.. maybe rating too? There could be a "top10" list then
And other lists too, like "the most played songs" and stuff like that. I know you can find this stuff on the internet, but in my opinion it's all over the place at the moment. Some info over there and some info over here.
I just wanted to share this idea with you guys, and if some of you are interested, I could use some help in beta testing in the future
And also, I don't have every info.txt-file myself as I'm still missing a lot of bootlegs, so if someone has a huge collection of them, please contact me. I don't need the actual bootlegs, just the info-files
Mostly from 2001-2011.
