To expand the idea of the "Ghosts" project, we're inviting anyone and everyone to create visuals to accompany the album's music. In a few months, we'll be gathering the entries we feel are particularly exceptional and highlighting them. There are no rules to this - be as creative as you like. Create a music video, or a short film, or something completely abstract. Use only one track from the album, or use multiple tracks. Only one caveat: Incorporating copyrighted materials (clips from movies, music by other artists, etc) into your video might limit our ability to feature it in the future. To submit your video, join the Ghosts group at http://www.youtube.com/group/ninghosts and add your video to the group. Good luck, and enjoy.

Metal Method instructor Michael Angelo Batio explains what is taught in "Speed Kills" the original speed picking technique video guitar lesson. This includes Michael's performance of "No Boundaries". For more information: http://www.metalmethod.com/lead-guitar-lesson-speed-kills.htm A quick note from MAB: The ambient, reverbed, delayed sound that you hear on my lead guitar is not part of my sound, nor in the original version. When the original video was converted to DVD a different audio track was used and somehow this was the result. The original lead guitar sound had none of this reverbed, delayed ambience. Thanks.

Heifetz in his prime, playing Saint-Saens' Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso. From the 1939 movie, "They Shall Have Music". Possibly the best bit of fiddle playing from him I have ever seen. The slow sections reflect his wondrous capability for expression. I know this has been uploaded, but this is of much better quality, and it's in English ;)
