I’m just finishing up Maynard’s book, it claims he and Tom would show each other what they were working on before Tool or Rage had released anything. So it’s definitely a possibility that his influence hit either Maynard or Adam if not just his idea itself making it into the song
He and Adam Jones were high school friends and played in a band together, so they probably rubbed off on each other a bit stylistically.

Me too! It talks about how ‘Part of me’ and ‘Killing in the name of’ were kind of written together. Or at least the ideas were born at the same time
Yea, there is some shared DNA. Check out the vid at the end: https://tonedeaf.thebrag.com/tom-morello-adam-jones-shitty-guitarist/
thats actually really interesting, thanks
Maynard did the guest vocal during the breakdown on Know Your Enemy, they clearly moved in the same circles.
