It feels like being back in the basement, rehearsing a set for an upcoming gig.
For anyone who’s ever been in a band, one of the first things you learn is how to play someone else’s songs. Covers.
There is not a Metal band in existence that has NEVER played cover songs by their favorite artists at some point in their careers.
The awesome thing about covers is the “interpretation”, much in the same way a chef may “interpret” a particular dish (let’s say fried chicken; wow that actually sounds delicious, doesn’t it?
Or maybe a fried chicken burrito? HFS, I think I’m a genius, as that too also sounds delicious!
Follow me for more subliminal messages regarding food. Oh yeah…sorry (ahem)) ‘an artist may choose…’ In 3…2…1…), an artist may choose to replicate the song precisely or “reimagine” the song, making it completely something of their own “vision”. BOLTH of which we here at Metal Nerdery enjoy with immensely commensurate gratitude. What we’re saying is we dig covers. Muchly.
