When playing in a band, what does "cover" mean?!


Question: When I hear about concerts, I hear something like "The group will be doing a cover song."


Answers: When I hear about concerts, I hear something like "The group will be doing a cover song."

A cover song is when a band performs a song originally done by someone else.

It means they are singing someones elses song. One that has already been written and recorded.

it means you are doing someone elses song .... for example "Love Song" - by the Cure ..... 311 did the same song over.

it means there playing a song that is popular by someone else

Playing a "cover" means the band is playing a song that another band made popular. For instance, britney singing "My perogative", a song popular in the 80's

It's when they sing a song by another band, maybe with their own twist on it.

Like, if you went to go see a band, and they were playing "Lady Marmalade" (which would probably be hilarious!), unless they were LaBelle, Christina Aguilera, Pink, Lil Kim, or Mya, it would be a cover.

when the drummer does a solo and the sticks fly out of his hand.... "RUN FOR COVER"!!!!!!!

a cover song is a song that another band has written, recorded, and realeased and that the band performing the cover usually would have permission from the original artist to perform.
the band who performs the cover usually plays the song in their own way. such as how there have been lots of covers of 'umbrella' by rihanna. some bands who've done covers of that song are Mcfly, Linkin Park, My Chemical Romance etc.
