Watch Concerts Live at Home for Free

If the new economy has you down, and you feel like you can't afford to get out and see your favorite metal bands live because of high ticket prices, take heart. Billboard magazine has launched a new Web site that allows you to watch concerts online ... for free!

This mystical site, billboardlive.com, will offer all sorts of shows. Sure they are not all metal, but hey, none of us at Noisecreep will complain about catching a cool concert for free -- even if it isn't always a headbanging experience.

The Web site even gives you the chance to pick your 'view.' Instead of standing in the pit, angling for a better view of that awesome guitarist, now you can zoom right in, focusing solely on the musician of your choice.

Naturally, you can Tweet during these special concert presentations without leaving the 'show.' And yes, iPhone users can watch via a special app.

New shows will be added regularly, so check the official site often for the most updated tour roster.
