And I agree they didn't influence nu metal. If they had, it might have sounded a lot better down the road.
Chino considers Maynard his biggest influence, he tries to sing like him a lot, musically it's not complex like Tool, but it doesn't sound unlike Opiate/Undertow type of music, which is as basic as Tool's ever been.
