Again, SOAD was listing alternative metal bands preceding them as far as I can tell. I'd be interested to hear if they considered Korn, Soundgarden or AIC influences.
Deftones were pretty much just an exceptional nu metal band through their first 3 albums, I find it hard to believe that SOAD has any amount of real influence from Deftones.
I can say anyone's an influence of my band. Ke$ha lists Black Sabbath, AC/DC and Led Zeppelin as her biggest influences, and considers herself alternative. I'm not even ****ting you with that.
I find it hard to believe, just like I find it hard to believe Deftones impacts SOAD.
