Check out the new and improved LiveMetallica.com! We thought we would surprise you with a brand new site just in time for the start of the "Sick of the Studio" tour... we hope you think it's cool. Among other new features, you can now search for your favorite song to find what shows it was played in, or if you're looking for a specific date, it's a little easier to locate.

To celebrate the new live site and the start of the tour, we've got a sale for you too - all the "catalog" shows (anything before 2007) are on sale with a 10% discount AND there are two new free Vault shows. Look for "Sick of the Studio" shows ready for download starting late this weekend.

The "Sick of the Studio" tour starts Thursday in Lisbon and you can follow the tour with MetOnTour. We'll have pix, details about what's going on behind the scenes (check it out now for set-up and rehearsal shots) and even video from all the shows.

Our European vacation is on... see you there!
