4. Crystal Ball (You Drive Me) Crazy
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lo8pcZA560 Original Artist Britney Spears (1999)Released 2005 (Timewalker) Formed in 1995 as a cover band under the name Cherry Pie, Crystal Ball have gone on from these humble beginnings to become one of Switzerlands premier power metal groups. Although they now have seven albums to their credit they seemingly never forgot their roots with this cover of Britney Spears' third single from her debut album, ...Baby One More Time. One of her most universally renowned and recognised songs, Crazy was another in a long line of top ten hits for the songstress upon her becoming a solo artist after starring in the famed Mickey Mouse Club revival of the 90s. The success of her first foray into the world of pop led her to become the leading female artist of the new millennia. Although succumbing to the pressures of the limelight later in life, Britneys debut material including Crazy has resonated through time and is still heavily played on mainstream radio to this day. And with Crystal Balls anthemic style of heavy metal infusing this pop classic with their own sense of crazy (pun intended), they have created a fitting tribute and in time, may have a number one song of their own.

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 ;)
