Candlebox is close, but I said no for a couple of reasons :1) I haven't heard a single song of theirs that wasn't GAY
Close, but not quite. Their cover of Cannibal Corpse's "F--ked With a Knife" was solid, but their previous work didn't give them enough street cred to be a full-blown metal act.
NoYes
YesYes
Queen, I will accept arguments either way. Rush is a little too clean to be metal, IMO, and Jane's vacillates between Alt Rock (Jane Says, Been Caught Stealing) and metal (Ocean Size, Mountain Song, Three Days, etc..) so they're on the fence. I think they're hard enough to be considered metal.These bands you name are getting into a gray area. They're all nu-metal except Velvet Revolver. I guess you can say yes to all of them - Velvet Revolver is spawned of GNR and STP, which are two borderline metal bands - both were hard rock acts that crossed over into the metal community, so I suppse Velvet Revolver is by default, although I've only heard about 3 of their songs, and at least one isn't metal. The others, I suppose are all metal, although that whole nu-metal wave is kind of like the hair bands of the 80s in that they are their own sub-genre.
Fair enough
How about Meat Loaf ? 
No. Too hybrid to be called any one thing.
Absolutely not, but they DO have a few metal songs. "Bullets" is straight up metal. The only reason I know this is because I got into this girl's car once and she put the CD on. I had no idea who it was, but about 30 seconds into the song, I asked : 'Who IS this ?" because it was heavy and I didn't know it, which I found odd. When she told me it was Creed, I about choked. Great tune, awful band.No.
Let me sleep on it...................Fair enough
OK, that was awful, I admit it. The answer is no. Plus, his name was Robert Paulson.
Look up "suck" in the dicitonary, and there's a picture of Creed.Absolutely not, but they DO have a few metal songs. "Bullets" is straight up metal.

Best thing about Creed is that when they broke up, I was at a BBQ restaurant having a Sierra Nevada draft when I see the following run on the scrolling news ticker on CNN :
"Rock band Creed breaks up..... universal outcry not expected...."
I'm going to guess no.
WTF is Bo Bice?I'm going to guess no.
So they are not a metal band that has a few metal songs. What about supposed "metal" bands that have a few non-metal songs. I'm missing the consistency here.My point: Creed may be suck-metal, but they're metal nonetheless. Not all metal is good.Absolutely not, but they DO have a few metal songs.

I think they're not metal in the same way Zep isn't metal. A couple of metalish songs don't make you a metal band.So they are not a metal band that has a few metal songs.

songs 5-11 don't sound like metal to me, leaving 1-42 and 3 -- I couldn't hear enough of the songs to tell
I did not and still don't dislike Creed.
Acid folk
Fair enough.
I haven't heard much of their stuff. I'm going to say no.
Don't mean to put you on the spot. This is a great thread, though.
fo' sureand no spotlighting fro DID
Sorry.
They are stoner rock.
stoner rock is a metal sub-genre
So is Kyuss. Not metal? A little of both, IMO
I agree. They're kind of stoner-rock like Kyuss, but I think they cross over into metal.
You mean Vietnom? I know those guys - NYC hardcore. Vietnam, I am unfamiliar with.
