FYI, I just released a ridiculous version of "Jingle Bells' --Jingle Bell SHOCK--the video's got an exploding Christmas ornament!

11/19/2012-OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO: After 40 long nights in the laboratory, the mad scientist reveals the results of his most SHOCKING experiment. Epic, Brian May inspired 5-part lead guitar harmonies, sick Malmsteen-inspired sweep arpeggios, and a rockin' arrangement--keep the listeners at the edge of their seats--or, perhaps "shocking" around the Christmas tree. "That Christmas song rocks!!!" -- Thomas E. Johns (DeadtoSelfRadio) What the fans have said (so far): "Manheim Steamroller meets Tran-Siberian Orchestra--only better." "That kicks some major Santa butt!" Leave some feedback, please. SHOCK ON!
