Sleep Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I've heard a lot of people talking about how Charlie Brown is very Arcade Fire-ish. People on TEHYOUTUBES are saying things like, "Oh Coldplay has done it again. Now they're copying Arcade Fire." I haven't really heard that much of Arcade Fire to see this so, do you guys see what these hooligans are talking about? What is a song by Arcade Fire where you can hear elements that are similar to CB? I'm just curious, not trying to start anything about CP stealing. I just like to see what bands inspire other bands.

Lore Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Charlie Brown? seriously? I love that song but I can't see the similarities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ticking_clocks Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Ummm... no. I think you're thinking of HLH.. while I can see hints of Arcade Fire inspiration in that song, I don't really think Charlie Brown sounds anything like Arcade Fire.

HLH has an Arcade Fire feel to it, there's no doubt about it. That doesn't mean they're copying or anything, but there is something reminiscent of AF.

The Final Track Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 It was a joke somewhere that Coldplay had stolen the Viva album from Win Butler while he and Chris were playing ping pong...I think. Fun fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmmaLouiseSmyth Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 haha ^ I love both that band and that song, but really? I can't hear it. So maybe they were referring to that joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major_Love Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 No, this comment was about Hurts Like Heaven, which actually has a Arcade Fire Touch, but not about Charlie Brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admnistramation Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Charlie Brown is kind of suburbs-ish. HLH, not so much. Cartoon Heart was up on the board well before The Suburbs single was even released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lore Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I remember there was a thread in the AF forum making fun of coldplay and Chris Martin :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corkus Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I like how some people have compared HLH to Springsteen and others have compared HLH to "Keep the Car Running" by Arcade Fire. Of course, "Keep the Car Running" is totally influenced by Springsteen. Bottom line is that everything sounds like something else and there's nothing you can do about it.

RiotFever Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I have the hunch the song aiko will be similar to arcade fire's neighborhood 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Final Track Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 That's probably because Aiko and Laika sound alike :tongue: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strawberry Swinger Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 must be just me , but dear Lord there is nothing authentic about the sound of Arcade Fire. I can NEVER remember ONE song by them, one melody.. NOTHING! saw them live on a festival and wanted to shoot myself. respect, but can't understand the fame about them... Coldplay is much more melodic and authentic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleep Posted July 22, 2011 Author Share Posted July 22, 2011 Maybe I saw the majority of the OMG ITS ARCADE FIRE comments on HLH and then I saw one guy who didn't know what he was talking about say that on CB, so, what's so Arcade Fire about HLH? Is there a video thats very HLHish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiotFever Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 anyway the only two arcade fire songs that i like are neighborhood 2 and the suburbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a video thats very HLHish? No, it's just that the melody is very Arcade Fire-ish. anyway the only two arcade fire songs that i like are neighborhood 2 and the suburbs. They're both great, Laika's my favorite song by them. Have you heard Sprawl II? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
