Overview

For the first time, Slipknot and Stone Sour frontman Corey Taylor speaks directly to his fans and shares his worldview about life as a sinner. And Taylor knows how to sin. As a small-town hero in the early '90s, he threw himself into a hard-drinking, fierce-loving, live-for-the-moment life; when his music exploded, he found himself rich, wanted, and on the road. But soon his extreme lifestyle led him to question what it means to sin and whether it could-or should-be cast in a different light. After all, if sin makes us human how wrong can it be? Now updated with a new Afterword by the author, Seven Deadly Sins is a brutally honest look ""at a life that could have gone horribly wrong at any turn,"" and the soul-searching and self-discovery it took to set it right.

<p> Publishers Weekly, 6/13/11<br> Fans of the heavy metal band Slipknot will eagerly devour its lead singer/songwriter Taylor's first book, which displays a prose that perfectly captures the supercharged energy, aggression, and outrageousness of Slipknot's music...Powerful and moving. Revolver magazine, 7/1/11 Dishy The Oakland Press, 6/30/11 In this series of essays, based around the titular sins, Taylor espouses upon the lessons learned while going from 'an absolute crazy person' into someone more in control and reflective--but not pulling any punches. He can be both self-effacing and self-aggrandizing, but he presents a more worthwhile and even illuminating 'argument' than most of his peers could manage. Drive 97.3 KLCB Rocks (video review), 6/28/11<br> A great book...Steps away from the average rock bio. It's really a trip into the deranged mind of Corey Taylor himself. It reads just like he talks and if you've seen any of his interviews or ever met Corey Taylor you know
