But to call it in any kind of way metal... hm... i don't know if that is where they should be categorized.

Early bands such as Finger Eleven (when they started 20 years ago) at the times were considered metal. Now they sound nothing like todays metal and much heavier stuff. They and Living Colour are why I wanted to request a Funk Metal Genre. There are a lot of predecessor albums to famous bands that started as funk metal and honestly, those were their better albums. Instead of calling them alternative metal they should retain the honor of Funk. Check out this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funk_metal

There's a lot there that people (myself included) have forgotten or didn't even realize because I/we have only heard their later stuff.

Finger Eleven is one of those bands. We've all heard Paralyzer and One Thing but have any of you heard their album Tip? Or when they were Rainbow Butt Monkeys?
What about Dry Kill Logic when they were Hinge? Listen to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hX9MvdxV1Ig

Funk metal is one of genres. I totally feel like it should be on here.
