But to say he stole something is a reach. yes, that was hyperbole. and, clickbait. but i stand by the song's (and the band's) influence on mark's early style. particularly "happy" / "carousel." the bass part is not only the same chords, but the same key, same notes, played in the same tempo and in the same manner. it would be shocking if mark's favorite band at the time didn't show up in his songwriting. when you're starting out, you haven't played long enough to outgrow your influences. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a few songs that are alright, two songs that are great and the rest is mostly unlistenable crap. Really don't understand the love for them ... or Beatles ... or The Police. Yea fuck the cure lol. Couple good songs and a bunch of rubbish and stupid makeup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
