daveflutsch Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 The legendary band, Rage Against The Machine, have reportedly accused Coldplay of stealing a large portion from their hit song 'Killing in The Name'. They reported that the Coldplay song 'Postcards From Far Away', from the Prospekts March EP, contained large chunks of material from their hit song. Martin denies this accusation however, although it is clear that almost the entirety of 'Killing in The Name' was copied by the English group, and tranfigured by Martin into an 'unoriginal' piano version. You can hear each track here: Postcards From Far Away - [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbI-B-hffbM]YouTube - Postcards from far away - Coldplay [NEW ALBUM PROSPEKT'S MARCH 2008][/ame] Killing In The Name - [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkuOAY-S6OY]YouTube - RATM -Killing in the name - official video[/ame] ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
