    Personally I don't think its close enough to be considered stealing, just influenced, but some disagree with me.

    Yeah looks nothing similar. There were also rumours when LP first came out that they chose the name so that their CD's would sit in between Korn and Metallica in shops!

    Are we talking bout the song or the cover here?
    The drums are alike in the song but thats about it!

    And thats pretty intelligent marketing if that was true about starting the name with L to be inbetween Korn and Metallica!

    I heard it was so they would be beside Limp Bizkit :P

    The comparison is the songs btw, not the album covers, turn your speakers on :P If you have left-right balance it makes it easier to compare them. I agree I think its just the rythem that matches, and the guitar in the LP one is a bit U2-ish as well.

    I can see what you mean, but I think it's more "influenced" rather than a blatant rip-off. I really don't like them at all, and that's not just because yer man is can't Chester Bennington (spanner). But I think it makes sense for them to try and move themselves into a more 'classic' image. They're not going to last much longer running around with backwards baseball caps and baggy jeans.
