Covers on Soundclick??

It's probably been asked before but I couldn't find it, this is what they say on the Soundclick page.

Does this mean I can do a cover as long as I don't actually use any of their material? What if I nail their sound and riffs perfectly??

Can I upload a cover song or remix?

They end it all with:

Basically, you should only upload songs that you completely created, wrote, and performed yourself.

OK...
I had plans of taking some old stuff and making them into metal tunes...

You know, like Betales or Elvis goes trash metal... :saeek:

Wouldn't it be ridiculous to be sued for uploading a cover you've done at home with a guitar and a computer? :laugh2:
