Publisher's summary

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 fierce-drinking, drug-abusing, hard-loving, live-for-the-moment life. Soon Taylor's music exploded, and he found himself rich, wanted, and on the road.

His new and ever-more-extreme lifestyle had an unexpected effect, however; for the first time, he began to actively think about what it meant to sin and whether sinning could - or should - be recast in a different light. Seven Deadly Sins is Taylor's personal story, but it's also a larger discussion of what it means to be seen as either a "good" person or a "bad" one. Yes, Corey Taylor has broken the law and hurt people, but, if sin is what makes us human, how wrong can it be?

Critic reviews

"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." ( Publishers Weekly)

Fantastic

I’ve had the same idea(s) as Corey most of my life and hearing his velvety voice tell his tales and opinions were seriously a breath of fresh air. I’ve always respected him as a person and as a musician, and I do even more. Highly recommended for anyone looking to set their troubled mind at ease.

The great big mouth has a talent for writing books

I was very entertained threw this whole book. The fact that Corey does his own narration is awesome! I really enjoyed all of his books so far. I can't wait to hear his next book that is coming out soon!

Brilliant

Slightly verbose, reminiscent of a Kevin Smith movie. Both things I enjoy though! I always love when books are read by the author and this was no exception. Highly entertaining and a phenomenal story. I'll definitely be looking into his other books.

100 % awesome book !

Corey Taylor is just plain great ! Corey and I are both the same age and I have looked up to him for years, as a phenomenal musician. beyond talented ! and now as a author. (I just strated reading his books) I sweat listening to this book described everything about myself and my personal beliefs. I really wish he would publish a book based on slipknot's rise to the top.

CMFT. What else needs to be said?

I had bought this book when it first came out and loved it! Hearing it be read by Corey Taylor made it that much better. Can't wait to listen to the rest of his books.
