rugen Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 I just realize, or maybe i forgot over the years, how the song "Everyday Glory" got almost the same guitar parts as those of Edge of U2. It would be a excellent song for U2, a good or average one for Rush. Check the complete song except the refrain, and you'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely better than average. I have never imagined it as a U2 song. Personally, I don't think U2 could do the song justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you know well the guitar work of Edge in U2, you will hear the similarity, don't pay your attention on the lyrics, just the guitar playing. I said that it could be a great U2's song, but a good Rush's song, so you can see which band i prefer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod in Toronto Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 It's VERY U2-inspired...I noticed that when I first listened to it back in 1997!! Thanks for noticing that. I don't hate U2, but don't love them either. I lost track of what they were doing a long time ago, but really liked All that You Can' Leave Behind.

rugen Posted May 29, 2012 Author Share Posted May 29, 2012 The inspiration behind the song from Neil Peart : Neil Peart says partial inspiration for "Everyday Glory" came from "an opera piece I've always loved, by Puccini, called Nessun dorma, which an Italian girl told me translates as 'nobody sleeps,' and I thought, ah, what a beautiful phrase." - Neil Peart, Winnipeg Free Press, October 21, 1993 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1 of the 7 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I've always thought the guitar sounded U2-ish. If I hadn't known it was Rush the first time I heard it, I wouldn't have guessed it was them until Geddy Lee started singing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The K Man Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 As a huge fan of both bands, I can safely say that Everyday Glory sounds nothing like U2, unless you are someone who thinks that any time a guitarist plays with any delay, they are trying to sound like U2. Plus, the bass playing and drumming sound NOTHING like U2. I wonder how much those of you saying it sounds like U2 have actually listened to U2 (aside from the hits).

At least to my ears. You can always find a certain sound from a band that might sound like another. That's part of the business in a lot of cases. In this case, no way in hell!!

greg2112 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I really dig this song. The fact that its such a good closer is testament to how solid an album CP really is. Best Rush album since the golden era IMHO. Hopefully CA surpasses it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CP has 2-3 weak songs... using the best 2-3 of RTB (which rest is weak imho), 4 years after Presto, this album would have been a masterpiece.
