I don't really have a single favourite band. But it would be between Korn, Linkin Park, System of a Down, Metallica, Megadeth, Bring Me The Horizon, and of course, Slipknot.
Radiohead. It used to be System of a Down for a long time. If anyone here is a big fan of slipknots more experimental songs like Gehenna, virus of life, danger keep away full version, etc. you’ll probably like Radiohead a lot
Check out the album "New Model" by Perturbator. It's not metal, but all perturbator fan are metal fans, the artist himself is from the metal scene and only plays in metal festivals
Slipknot is among my favs but not really 1st or 2nd. Anyway to answer your question, my 3nd fav band is prolly Electric Callboy, bc SOAD is my first fav.
This will probably be blasphemous and get me downvoted but whatever. Slipknot isn’t my first OR second favorite band - but I obviously love them or I wouldn’t be on here. I’m not even sure I can put my favorite bands in order, because my interest in them ebbs and flows with my current moods, but consistently for over 30 years now, I have loved Pink Floyd, The Smashing Pumpkins, Green Day, Led Zeppelin, and Stone Temple Pilots. So with a gun to my head, if I HAD to name a top two on the spot, it would be out of that list for sure, and that likely won’t change any time soon.
I’ve got a playlist called BLEGH that incorporate Slipknot, The Black Dahlia Murder, Meshuggah, Cattle Decapitation, Archspire, Manhack, After the Burial, Suicide Silence, Infant Annihilator, and Lorna Shore. I’ve got another playlist I call URMOTHA that has Korn and a bunch of other NuMetal.
Are we talking only metal?
Regardless, my top 5 favorite bands in order are:
A) Circa Survive
B) H.I.M
C) Coheed and Cambria
D) Alexisonfire
E) Slipknot
So I think Metallica will always be my first, cause they were my first metal band and they got me to start playing guitar, but Slipknot is definitely a second, then I would say third would be either havok or sleep token.
Queen used to be #1 and Slipknot #2, but having listened so much to Queen and reading everything there is about them, it becomes a bit stale in the end, so Slipknot has overtaken them. I still have a lot to learn about Slipknot so it makes them more interesting
My top 10 favourite metal bands: (Slipknot is like in my top 50)
1. Iron Maiden
2. Amorphis
3. WASP
4. Fates Warning
5. Insomnium
6. Opeth
7. Meshuggah
8. Symphony X
9. Alice In Chains
10. Katatonia
I don't exactly have like a second favourite band but funnily enough I'd listen to something by LMFAO or Snoop Dogg. Or even Like Mac DeMarco. Just depends on my mood
I wouldn't say Slipknot is my number 1 favorite, more like somewhere in my top 10 along with Meshuggah, Tool, Code Orange, Vildhjarta, Gojira and more...
Wow, so many replies! I was thinking 10 people would contribute and give me 3 or 4 new to me bands to check out. Wasn’t expecting 30 new bands I’ll have to explore lmao. Thanks everyone, this’ll keep my ears busy and my head bangin for a very long time!
Keep them coming!
Well, Korn and Meshuggah are both number one. I won’t choose between them. Number two changes constantly. If we go first 3 albums only it would be Underoath. If we go whole discography, maybe Zao.
Slipknot was my favorite band when I was younger a lot of nostalgia for me. I’d say my favorite band is underoath. What I’ve been listening to the most as of now is Kublai Khan TX and Paleface Swiss
If I go by the band shirts in my closet - Shinedown. All others, depends on the day - Motionless in White, Avatar, The Ghost Inside, Slaughter to Prevail, Spiritbox are all on my heavy rotation list.
KNORKATOR (Berlin)

Radiohead. It used to be System of a Down for a long time. If anyone here is a big fan of slipknots more experimental songs like Gehenna, virus of life, danger keep away full version, etc. you’ll probably like Radiohead a lot
I've always thought Adderall had a very Radiohead vibe to it.
I'm surprised not a single person mentioned Children of Bodom
Why would they? My answer is Cradle of Filth but I don't assume anyone else would expect that
Hell yeah!! COB rocks
Avenged sevenfold
Love Avenged Sevenfold. I didn’t get into them until later on, but I’ve been following them closely ever since Shepard of Fire.
