I dont see how anyone could classify Bon Jovi's ballads as metal

they are about as metal as Bruce Springsteen

Meh. "Such and such is not metal" is always code for "I think such and such is shit". Why not just say it's shit, instead of trying to act like some sort of gatekeeper over the (very) broad church of Heavy Metal? As far as I'm concerned, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, and Blue Oyster Cult are metal. AC/DC, Motorhead, and Aerosmith are metal. Iron Maiden and Judas Priest are metal. Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Motley Crue, and Poison are metal. Metallica, Slayer, and Pantera are metal. A whole bunch of Scandinavian bands whose names I can't recall or pronounce are metal. et. etc. etc.

Listen to what you like, hang shit on what you don't like, but don't try and pretend your personal preferences define the genre.

I like almost all of those bands...but imo Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, etc are hard rock

Some would call Born Of Osiris deathcore. I reckon they're more technical than that, but anyway - they have a really interesting sound. Brutal vocals and guitars, but their breakdowns are rather unexpected for a heavy band. Hell, they use xylophones! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnUq7wvTlNc&feature=fvst

Also, for any industrial metal fans, Croatian band Omega Lithium have a new album out. This is their song "Andromeda" from their 2009 album "Dreams In Formaline": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtzeaVSiVMA

Chaos Divine, a great progressive metal band out of Australia's own Perth, has a new album called "The Human Connection" out now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJ5M2adcL1o

Lastly, doom metal band November's Doom have a new album, "Aphotic" and it is a great listen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpXiudJ_J6U

not sure about the electronic keybaord sounds in the middle, seems out of place to me

Nope but I have Hardcore on [V] on linked record every week. Its a fantastic show. High rotations at the moment are Parkway Drive, Bullet for my valentine, Rise Against, A day to remember and a few others. But it goes for an hour and also plays a lot of bands I haven't heard before so its not just the popular metal bands.

The band formerly known as Ignominious Incarceration, now The Soulless, have a new album, "Isolation", out now. Pretty good melo-death/tech death English band.
