So is Reel Big Fish. At times.


Having "heavy stuff" in and of itself does not make something Metal. If that were the case, we could lump Ben Harper right in with Carcass, Linkin Park, The Aquabats! and Iron Maiden.

There's no doubt that the influence is there, but both Soundgarden and Alice in Chains branched decisively away from what can be reasonibly called "Metal."
