I'm going by what they have cited. If musicians have notably considered other bands as an inspiration that's influence. Doesn't mean they have to have a similar sound. Not saying just because they were an earlier act they are influenced. Honestly they were many heavy acts out there in the 70s if not just prior. You cannot possibly say a band was influenced by all of them by resembling characteristics. That's like saying music influences all types of music because it is music. Don't hear anything in Tom Morello's style that remotely sounds like Back Sabbath or the Clash anyway. That's just my own two cents.
lol I think we are going to work well together.
