My favorite band is Megadeth
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
Your favorite Metal band?

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Of those in the poll, Metallica by far. They single handedly changed late 80's - 90's heavy music without cashing out (that came after Lars went Napster crazy).
Tool, however, changed music forever.

Obviously, you've never experienced Tool. Do yourself a favor and listen to Aenima, Lateralus, and 10000 Days then tell me your view of life isn't in revolt against the paradigm you live now.PulpFiction said:
Get rid of all of the fvcking Fall Out Boy crap you kids listen to these days and listen to real musicians playing real instruments.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

To KarmaSutra: I abominate fall out boy and all other band of it's genre.Where the **** did you get the idea that I listen to such a crap?Tool is a decent band and I've already heard Aenima but it hasn't changed anything.You think people should adore Tool as much as you do but no way.I already know what real music is and I don't need to learn it from you.

I don't give a good goddamn what you listen to and give even less of a sh!t if you listen to Tool or not. Keep Justin Timberlake in your cd player if it makes you rock out.PulpFiction said:
You're asking about good music, I'm suggesting Tool as the only band in the last decade who've consistently gotten much better and deeper without compromising who they are.
You act as if I'd lose sleep over dumb sh!t you listen to or don't? Get over yourself.
"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
Metallica out of those easy. I'm a big fan.
I love metal but I also like Fall Out Boy. *cringes in anticipation of a backlash*
They are cool and upbeat, its good to listen to some cheerfull catchy stuff instead of just metal all the time.

Metallica out of all of those definitely! Megadeth are way too inconsistent (but at least they have steady output). Slayer hasnt done anything relevant since 1994 (although Diabolus had some killer songs). LoG is starting to lose it I think. None of those bands have ever created a song as good as Master Of Puppets, One, Orion, Disposable Heroes, sh!t, even The Outlaw Torn and Bleeding Me!
My favorite metal band for real is Dimmu Borgir with Between The Buried And Me and Opeth in 2nd.:rockon:

Metallica here, props to Anthrax as well.
As for my boy Karma, I agree with EVERYONE else, your over rating tool, they might have had that an impact on you but it wasn't the same for the REST of the music industry.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I would suggest that most of the bands on your list are heavier than the polled bands. I would also suggest that the bands you listed are ALTERNATIVE bands, if you look at the bands polled, they are also from a different era although the lines get awfully close to blurred.

There's no option for Children of Bodom...now that's freaking metal. FYI guys, Tool isn't metal. Neither is Fall Out boy. And Sevendust rocks, I can't believe I missed the opportunity to see them live...
edit...no Pantera or Damageplan either? What kinda poll is this?

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
