7. Twilight Guardians La Isla Bonita
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pkqbO5HpbM Original Artist - Madonna (1987)Released 2006 (Sin Trade) Madonna is arguably the biggest pop star in history, second only to Michael Jackson. With 300 million units sold she is recognised by the Guinness Book of World Records as one of the highest selling female artists of all time and takes the number one spot on Billboard Magazines top touring female artists of all time. On top of this she has become a pop culture icon in herself, with her own entertainment company and fashion line, as well as attaining the status of one of the most powerful women in the industry. So if you really think about it, it was inevitable that one of her biggest smash hits from earlier on in her career would be eventually covered by someone who is more inclined to play hard and fast. And it was Finnish power metal band Twilight Guardians who decided to pick up the ball and run with it. Formed in 1996 and with four albums to their discography, Twilight Guardians had already achieved a significant fanbase by the time they garnered even more infamy with their cover of La Isla Bonita from Madonnas third and massively successful number one album, True Blue. Yet it is a fitting homage to this iconic superstar, with none of their signature intensity lost as they pay tribute in the form of metal to the queen of pop.

Passions in life: Movies, Music and Wrestling....My childhood was spent growing up in the "Outback" of Australia (I'm a little bit country) and my adulthood resided within the city limits (I'm a little bit rock and roll), so you could say that I am the best (or worst) of both worlds. A 6 foot 7 ex wannabe pro wrestler (whose career was cut short due to a busted back, NOT caused by wrestling) & muso who has a precocious cat & a habit of doing the wrong thing but for the right reasons. The story of my life????
All demos, no albums ;)
