Is It Safe To Say "Fury" Is Prince Version Of "All Along The Watchtower"?

They sound the same.

You can obvisouly hear a Hendrix influence in this song.

No. They're totally different songs. There's more of a Hendrix influence on the Lotus Flower cd.

I don't hear AATWT at all in Fury...

However, I think Dreamer has Hendrix's "Voodoo Child" all over it.

All Along is a rock classic, great Bob Dylan track!

Fury is not classic.... actually quite boring imo.

I don't think they sound the same, but I can definately hear a Hendrix influence in Fury. And yes, the Lotusflower album has a few very strongly Hendrix influenced tracks too.

RIP Prince: thank U 4 a funky Time...

Maybe what I'm trying to say is that they have the same structure. No words during the chorus.

They both solo during the chorus.

So basically, they're both songs. So they're similar.

The thing is, similarity (at least in this case) is not subjective.

It either is or it isn't. Jimi didn't write AATW, firstly. Secondly, the song structures are entirely different. No lyrics during a chorus do not a tribute make. Prince has been making songs like "Fury" for 30 years.

1. I knew Bob Dylan wrote it ever since I was a kid.

2. Maybe I hear something different that anyone else. And I never said it was a tribute.

The reason I say their the same is because they have the same drive(feel). During evey chorus, there's a lot soloing. Their vocal delivery is kind of the same, their kind of shouting. That's my opinion.

colonized mind has the same chords as all along the watch tower

dreamer is trying to be voodoo chile and imagine rolled into one and fails miserably

fury is one of prince better recent tunes .. reminds me of when u were mine .. but also reminds me of objects in the mirror are closer than they appear .. his phase when he would take silly common phrases and turn them into a pretty boring song

Well, it's not a cover. So what else is it other than a tribute? An imitation? Prince had released 2 Jimi covers by the time "Fury" came out and also did a studio version of "All Along the Watchtower". Why, friend, would he release both a cover version of the song and an imitation of the song? Why "Fury"? He has followed this very same structure before. Are those songs imitations, too?

I thought his version of "All Along The Watchtower" was unreleased? Didn't he record it doing

07' or 06'? So he only "released a "imitation version of "All Along The Watchtower".

He released the cover through Howard Stern's radio show a week or two before the half time.

Well Fury was released in Spring 06', and the cover was proabaly recorded anywhere from summer

06-Early 07', or who kows. So he proabaly was kind of influenced by the song.

TylerHippie, you see that Google Custom Search box up there in the top right?

Type Fury Hendrix into it and have a read of some of the resulting org threads. You are not as alone as you might think from the responses on here so far...

Just somewhere in the middle,
Not too good and not too bad.
