Anyone who still likes Taking Back Sunday after hearing any live material, need to be checked out. Medically.
Absolutely.

Tool aren't metal. Nor are Rage.
Yes they are. They may be a little mellow compared to most thrash or death, but they're definitely metal.

If you wanna put them into a genre they are Hard Rock. Which is how they actually describe themselves. They have some songs on "Aenima" with a heavily Metal influenced sound but they are by no means a Metal band. Pantera are Metal. Tool are not Metal.

Yep Pantera are metal, and? As far as I'm concerned, Tool have always been a metal band. They may have a lot of progressive influences, but the heart of their music is metal, always has been. Lateralus isn't as 'metallic', but Aenima is, and Undertow is pure grungy generation x heavy metal.
Rage I suppose could fit into hard rock, but then again I've heard many many different classifications of them. It's best to stick with what they're closest to; metal.
