Because i would seriously love nothing more than hearing him do a studio version of Van Halen's hot for teacher.

I'd love to hear it. Especially from an artist like Dev, who would make sure to coat it with his own personal style rather than copy&pasting the original track.

I don't think he's a huge fan of covers, though. (That said, I don't remember where I got that impression, so I could be wrong)

And he's way too busy with his other projects anyway

I'd still be all about it though.

I've always wanted him to do a cover of Boney M's 'Brown Girl in the Ring'.

Nah, as much as his covers tend to rule, I'd rather we didn't distract the man from writing and recording original awesomeness!

I'll second that. A cover as a bonus track on one of his mains or on a compilation/tribute album with other artists works for him; howbeit, he so many ideas and directions that suddenly releasing a covers album might be seen as cheap.

Unless he was deconstructing the idea of a covers album with one.
