I am thinking of creating a new Heavy Metal website. What website and what kind of info is missing from Internet? Let me see your creativity :)

I have always been missing a site indexing all the Far East Metal Syndicate (FEMS) releases and how to tell the real ones from any known bootlegs.

A compilation of CD matrix codes so that half the Corroseum forum isn't filled with that anymore.

The problem with anti-bootlegs site is that they actually help bootlegers to do even more 'accurate' imitations :\

I always wish there was a high quality covers and inserts scans site (if there is I don't know about it)

This argument holds no weight with me. If someone is making an identical bootleg they need an original to copy, so they'll know the original matrix anyway.

Yes but then we talk about the font and the position of the matrix, the typos errors (like in Target cd), all the little small differences ... and they could make a new print fixing all of them ^^

I really don't think that is possible. They have the originals, they know exactly what its supposed to look like. Problem is it is technologically impossible for them to make an exact duplicate, otherwise they would have already done so. Having a site with this information would not 'help the bootleggers' in any way, quite the contrary.

I would need a website for gay heavy metal and rare gay stuff on vinyl in metal. Dizzy Bitch rules!

I'd like to see a site dedicated exclusively to 80s US metal demos :D

Not really. I've seen quite a few more recent bootlegs where people have obviously copied "identical" matrix information based on sourcing it from someone over the internet. I guess this is done so that when they are asked on ebay such information from possible bidders they can provide it without having to lie. Obviously when the CD arrives and you are able to see it for yourself the font/size/positioning is wrong but the number/letter combinations are the same.

Making a gay heavy metal site seems over my head, so to speak...
Any other ideas?
