I don’t know why musicians rail against other musicians for doing covers. Musicians who do cover songs get knocked on all the time. If you’re an all original songwriter knocking other musicians then chances are you don’t have any talent. I think cover songs are pretty important to do, whether you want to admit it or not. I always thought it was important to do both covers & original songs. I’ve always done both for many years.
I think bands and acoustic acts who do cover songs deserve more respect for sure ’cause I think it’s pretty cool to hear different versions of songs you’ve heard before.
There’s nothing wrong with doing covers. I enjoy doing them ’cause they’re fun.
I would like to upload more cover songs to my youtube channel but I don’t enjoy getting 3rd party notices, it’s annoying. I think musicians deserve to perform cover songs for the internet and should have every right to. This would be an idea for my next angry video rant.
I enjoy doing covers ’cause they help you get better musically. They’re just fun to do. You’re not gonna get better musically by playing nothing but originals only, sorry.
I would like to do a lot more cover songs.
I would like to do songs by Kiss, Joni Mitchell, David Bowie, Lana Del Rey, The Allman Bros. and lots more.
I like doing well-known songs that people know and love but I also like to do covers of songs that people never heard before. I just like to do the songs that I love and the ones that inspired me over the years.
I not only cover songs by rock & metal artists, as you have probably noticed… I have covered pop songs too. Like I always say, I enjoy some pop music.
Cover songs are awesome.
