Dude, are you seriously this thickheaded? Not to mention two-sided...My whole point was that I had a point of reference to talk about the American nu-metal wave. In no means did I mention all bands I have met. That would be quite a long list.
And no, not just a "guitar solo". This was one example of what makes metal metal. Thats the beauty of metal...there is no way to define it.
Now, the next thing you are going to say is "Well, then, if there is no way to define it, how can you say L.O.G. is not metal". And to that I say...you are an idiot. There is no point in talking with you. Following that logic, you can call anything metal that you want. Pray tell me, what makes L.O.G. metal? Is it the screaming vocals? (Points to clean vocal metal groups such as Iron Maiden, Priest, Sonata Arctica) Is it the fast paced drums? (Points to slow, melodeath groups such as Agolloch, and groups which do not utilize drums to such a high extent such as Burzum, Warmen) Perhaps the fast paced guitar? (Points to groups that use slower guitars such as Nevermore, Opeth, Evergrey)
L.O.G. is a talented group, not metal. This same analogy can be applied to "rap" Can you call Soulja Boy rap, at the same time calling N.W.A. rap?
