I always love asking this question. WHAT, exactly, qualifies a band as being a classic rock band??

Probably so.
But, be careful. They released quite a few songs (such as "No Leaf Clover," a re-make of a Thin Lizzy song called "Whiskey in a Jar," and "I Disappear" on the Mission Impossible 2 soundtrack) throughout 1998-2000 which hit the radio and video charts.
Somewhat like Aerosmith, they have "classic rock" tenure but still release new music that a lot of people want to hear.

Early Metallica could be labeled "classic Heavy Metal",but Metallica has adapted with the times and have a modern edge now.
And just to let you know Metallica was not hair-metal they they're quite the opposite.

I'd say so. Classic rock was originally conceived as a radio station broadcasting format and although loosely defined, it generally includes the music from rock bands formed between 1959 and 1990 with a predominant focus on the period between 1970 and 1985 or thereabouts. ...

Classic rock is the late 60's to late 70's era. Metallica is in the "hair metal" era.
