Interesting discussion. Don't discount the fact that any band will often bring a range of influences to their music from individual members. It's often the case that the variances in influence amongst the individuals within the band can combine to create something that doesn't sound like any of those individual influences. I know that even though my mates and I may have much common ground when all our tastes are blended it becomes a compromised collection of what we all bring.
And yeah deftones are pretty damn good too.
