Disturbed Not "Metal"

In a recent interview with Blabbermouth.net, Disturbed drummer Mike Wengren had this to say about being referred to as "metal..."

"We don't pigeonhole ourselves in metal. We think our music is more rhythmic. There's a lot that gets attached to metal — the look, the weird vocals that really don't fit our music."

The "look" doesn't fit? So, your singer running around with face piercings wearing a prison jumpsuit... doesn't fit? "Weird vocals?" You guys are the current kings of the "nu-metal 'weird' vocal." What the heck are you talking about? You're metal, and you know it... bad metal, but still metal.
