If you can't grasp this then there's really no point in explaining it but oh well here I go...
These bands/artists that have basically remade these songs in the style of their bands playing already have the whole original song laid out in front of them, lyrics, chords, progressions and all. Hell, the songs are already popular so they know if they even do a halfway decent cover people are gonna like it, because it sort of revives an older halfway dead song. If you can't see how its easier to write a song from scratch than to look at the already written out song and put your take one it, then you're helpless...
