How Cover Songs Can Shine a Light on Original Music

In this clip from The Sonic Road, you and the members of Handsome Jack dive into the "art of the cover song". The discussion centers on avoiding overplayed "hits" (like Metallica’s version of "Turn the Page") in favor of deep cuts that can be reimagined as the band's own. The band compares their trajectory to early Van Halen, who used strategic, high-energy covers to launch their career and find their original voice.
