Trivia
When asked in an interview in 1992 about the covers of Rock and Roll, Louie Louie and Johnny B. Goode, Brett and Jay said that "we've never done a cover live"[1]. Then they admitted having played these songs in 1983 and a few others but Brett said "that's out on bootleg; that's the only reason why I can't deny that we've ever done covers. Or else I would be more than happy to deny it"[2].
Greg Hetson.: "The point of doing a cover is not to make it sound like the original. If your band is going to do a cover, just do it your own way, just destroy it."
