That's pretty cool, I was being a jerk with the Tiny Dancer / Down in a Hole comment but the statement on influence was honest.

Also putting Flyleaf and Helmet on the same level just hurts. Helmet was recognized as one of the 'new' generation of metal bands in the early 90s, along with the likes of Ministry, Fear Factory, and Biohazard (in fact I recall a Guitar World Magazine featuring Page Hamilton and Al Jourgensen on the cover from like 1993).

Flyleaf just sounds like a combination of Avril Lavigne and the Deftones (another originator to the nu-metal sound).
