Deftones (lead singer, house, rock, cds, album)

Deftones is definitely nu metal in their early phase. They didn't influence the genre either, they were, along with Korn, Limp Bizkit and Coal Chamber, just an early producer of nu metal.

Honestly, they sound like nu metal that they based around the style of Tool. They've always seemed to want to sound like Tool. Anyways, they're not very original, just **** that RATM, Biohazard and FNM were doing years earlier, and those bands all sounded a lot better.

I never thought they wanted to sound like Tool. Are you saying this because Maynard did a song with them on White Pony?

And I agree they didn't influence nu metal. If they had, it might have sounded a lot better down the road.

Chino considers Maynard his biggest influence, he tries to sing like him a lot, musically it's not complex like Tool, but it doesn't sound unlike Opiate/Undertow type of music, which is as basic as Tool's ever been.
