Lawl...AIC and RATM came long before the nu-metal craze.

Should have also mentioned Disturbed, many believe they're heavy metal now due to their third album containing more metal elements.
Answers:
The old classification game, always fun. You could consider all the bands listed as metal. Some are heavier than others but all could be played on a metal station without much debate. Also I am curious how anyone could call AIC nu-metal when the term wasn't even invented until Linkin Park & Limp Bizkit.
