Retrieved February 18, 2026. I think the only band that I could argue had any influence on that [Unreal] that was nu metal, if you will, was Incubus... I was into Deftones maybe like a couple years before we did that record. The band I was obsessed with when we when we made Unreal was Oasis.... That's all I do is I just copy the people that I think are cool, man. Which he turned me on to that too, dude. Like there I was grateful for you, Nick, with Nirvana and Oasis
