It's predominantly metal.

TDOC, he said Rage isn't metal, correct xD

Rage is metal dips, its funk metal.

I voted "who gives a flying F**K

Your name is h.i.m. so that's not suprising.

I voted no its fuckin crap

I voted for them all because some nu metal is good but some isn't some nu metal is like metal but some isn't etc...

I say it is but to an extent. Some bands are really just hard rock that claim to be Nu Metal while some are very Metal but aren't as good. Overall I voted yes it is.

This is what Joey DeMaio of Manowar has said on the subject:

'True metal' is music that's true to the style of classic heavy metal. It's not diluted. It's not pussied out. It's not wimped out. It's played from the heart, 100 percent."

He's also said:

"We play Metal pure, you know. We don't play radio bull****. We don't suck ass''.

Eric Adams, Manowar Vocalist said:

"It's a shame that future musicians growing up now are being influenced by trash; it's really upsetting. You are basically formed by what your influences are and if you've got losers for influences, you're going to have a hard time overcoming that.''

See, these guys may be too 'extremist' when it comes to hating stuff, but they have a point. Nu-Metal might imitate the real thing, but it is not True Metal. Its a complete mockery of what Classic Metal really is.
