On a side note, I do think the song structure in nu metal does make it seem boring to some metalheads. The lack of guitar solos could also be part of this. Even so, I still really like nu metal...alot!

I would agree with the lack of guitar solos not appealing to true metalheads. I think most people are open minded when it comes to bands like The Deftones and they are pretty set on an atmospheric sound as opposed to a distortion/guitars on 10 sound. I like a few of the mentioned bands most notably Sepultura and Deftones and I enjoyed SOAD live they really are impressive in a live setting, but overall I generally snub the genre.
