Did Papa Roach rip-off the Live Killers cover?

...or is it a homage? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c9/TimeforAnnihilation.jpg

OMG, a silhouette of the band holding their instruments!!!! THIS MUST BE A RIP-OFF FROM LIVE KILLERS BY THE BEST BAND IN THA WORLD EVAAAAAH.

Very naughty... tut tut. Didn't they have an original thought between them...

Dunno why Pim is downplaying but that's a total rip-off. Google the images and compare if you don't believe me...

The drummer's silhouette has a strong resemblance to Roger's in the Live Killers cover.

Probably inspired by it.

Hopefully it was meant as a tribute to Queen.

Not quite the same as above, but along the same lines:

Pim has...issues. And a rather warped sense of the limits of artistic decency (i.e. it has to be a literal, identical copy for it to be plagiarism in the Codex Dercius).
