It's just like how a lot of people will say that EVH started two handed tapping. Anyone who knows anything about the guitar knows that two handed tapping has been used before Eddie was even born. It's just that he's the one that made it so popular. Same thing for RATM. Everyone knows that they didn't start it, they just were the first to make it as big as it is. Ice-T's album got a lot of controversy but it still wasn't considered a good album by most people.
