i'd like to know the names of some cool metal bands. I'd prefer if they weren't death metal. Screaming is good, as long as it isn't an all-screaming/growling band. Something that a fan of Dragonforce would like.

for crap's sake, people here have no idea what metal really is!! How can you say that all that NU and rap/metal and metalcore are something a dragonforce fan would listen to?!
Reality check?!?
Dragonforce are melodic power/speed metal. For some good melodic metal bands and power metal bands, check:
Gamma Ray
Stratovarius
Sonata Arctica
Edguy
Rhapsody
If you want some proper, mainstream heavy-ish metal, check:
Blind Guardian
Hammerfall
Manowar
Judas Priest
Iron Maiden
Motorhead
Dream Evil
Helloween
Iced Earth

I'm old school...
Some amazing Metal bands were;
Early Metallica (Before Lars became Napoleon and single handily destroyed Napster for everyone.)
Early Judas Priest. I'm talking like Diamonds and Rust early...
Some Iron Maiden. A bit too English for my tastes sometimes it's too much like an Oxford history lesson gone awry for me...
Def Leppard.
Scorpions
Early Ozzy with Randy Rhodes.
Black Sabbath.
You know... The good Metal bands. Not the cheap cheesy kiddie crap that is trying to pass itself off as metal now days.
Metal is all about great (but corny) lyrics and awesome guitars...
The closest modern equivalents are...
Saosin
30 seconds to Mars
Blue October (a little on the light side but with the same effects.)
Disturbed
Linkin Park (although they do get rappy)
Lacuna Coil
Flyleaf
things like that...
