What’s So Bad About Playing Cover Songs? –

Posted on August 30, 2021 By webcatt_admin

The recurring question that I ask myself when the haters speak up is: “Why?”Why is there so much contempt for cover musicians?Why do some players feel that you’re not a real musician unless you write your own songs?Why is it so much better to be an original artist…especially in today’s music climate?I try to answer it with logic, but I don’t always succeed.Maybe it’s the way some people were taught.Maybe they have never seen or played in a really good cover band.Maybe some people are just plain ignorant.

Watch David Gilmour Play Beatles’ ‘Across the Universe,’ ‘Revolution’ – Rolling Stone

David Gilmour made a rare public appearance earlier this week when he played two Leonard Cohen songs at the digital book-launch event for A Theatre for Dreamers, a new novel written by Polly Samson, his wife and longtime co-lyricist. The book takes place on the Greek island of Hydra in the early Sixties, and Cohen, who lived there at the time, is a character.
It was a relatively unique chance to see Gilmour play music written by another artist. His solo shows going all the way back to his first tour in 1984 have always concentrated exclusively on his own work and Pink Floyd classics. He only really breaks from this for special occasions like a TV appearance with Kate Bush, the chance to play guitar in Pete Townshend’s 1985 supergroup Deep End, or the time in 2010 he duetted with Roger Waters on a tongue-in-cheek rendition of the Teddy Bears’ 1959 tune “To Know Him, Is to Love Him” to poke fun at their combative relationship.
Another exception took place on June 21st, 2002, at the Cowdray House in West Sussex, England, when he appeared at a special Beatles tribute show to raise money for the Tibet House Trust and other charities. He was part of an incredible lineup that included Ringo Starr, Genesis guitarist Mike Rutherford, Queen drummer Roger Taylor, Bob Geldof, Donovan, Lulu, Paul Carrack, Faces drummer Kenny Jones, and many others.

It was inevitable. It is a money grab and also a power grab, cause they don’t have as much of either as they used to.
