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.
Well, I was never arguing that. I was just arguing that someone can list influences that aren't immediately apparent in the music. Did SOAD ever say the Deftones were an influence?

As for Ke$ha...does she write her own music? My first instinct is no, so I don't know how any of those bands could have an influence on her. It's not her music. I can see where she gets her attitude now, though.
