[edit] Making this page into a table
Somebody should really make this article more like the table in List of Nu metal musical groups It makes it a lot easier to look at and find out what bands are currently still formed, what albums are in the alternative metal style, etc.
- That's a good suggestion. maxcap 11:23, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Metallica is an Alternative Metal band
Great timeline just got one mistake.
Metallica is an Alternative Metal bend in Load/Reload period.Lars ulrich confirmed the transofmation that band took and it has been writen on wikipedia metallica related pages couple of times.So please don't edit metallica out of this timeline.
Thx
[edit] This page could do with some work
I suggested a while ago that this page should be a table. I checked up on it now and it's a timeline. Not just a timeline, but a timeline that's not all that easy on the eyes. If the timeline REALLY must stay, I suggest making the font size of the band names larger, because it's hard to read. Also there should be a key instead of text saying that orange means discontinued bands and green is currently formed. It would also be good to have a colour for Hiatus instead of the text hiatus.
However, my major concern is that there is little information on each band. I'm not saying there should be a 1 paragraph bio on each one, just if thier genre is alternative metal(which I will now refer to as A.M.), arguably A.M., or if thier was a time period in which they where A.M. Some of the bands are Arguably A.M. and perhaps shouldn't be on this page or get a mention that they aren't entirely A.M. Take KoЯn for example. they are mainly Nu Metal except for in thier latest album, See You On The Other Side. So perhaps it shoud show that they where arguably A.M. from 1994-2004 and moved to Industrial Metal (?) in 2005.
If the timeline really needs to stay, I suggets it goes on it's own page, Timeline of Alternative Metal Artists

I say it gets changed to a normal list, 'cause I can't see a damn thing due to 4 freakin errors with it. 4! Why can't it be a list anyway? The Wretched 10:16, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

- I'm coll with it being a list, preferably divided into sections, or possibly a table with details (i.e. Metallica being an alternative metal band in the Load/reLoad era, but not earlier). --Switch 06:47, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
- I don't care if it's a list, I was protective of it at first because it took me a while to do, but if some one wants to redo it go for it. I did hopefully fix the "errors" by increasing the height of the graph. maxcap 19:22, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Three Days Grace
...Seriously? They don't even vaguely resemble alternative metal. They're a post-grunge/pop punk band. Grah. And Lostprophets? What? I dunno guys. --Switch 05:52, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
