Narrative In Favor Of Books Seven Deadly Sins: Settling the Argument Between Born Bad and Damaged Good
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?Describe About Books Seven Deadly Sins: Settling the Argument Between Born Bad and Damaged Good

2.5I have been in love with Corey Taylor since the sixth grade. I never quite fit in. I always cracked the joke that no one found funny, I talked too loudly, and I was the nerd who got all As and actually enjoyed reading. When I first heard the song Wait and Bleed by Slipknot I knew it was for me. That song was written for me to listen to. It was meant for me to feel like I belonged to something larger than I could comprehend. It whispered in my ear and told me Its ok to be you. Heavy metal hasTo be honest this book is pretty poor,if i was still an angry 18 year old i think i'd probably like it, but there again when i was 18 i hadn't read the Satanic Bible by Anton LaVey which is where the whole premise of this book is lifted from.In the Satanic Bible the idea that the seven deadly sins are merely part of human nature and to be harnessed for your own gain is covered in about ten pages tops, this book drags this out over the entire book interspersed with autobiographical examples of
This book is interesting to say the least. I love Corey's music and his style, but picking up this book for the first time I was a little taken aback. I am Catholic and this goes against everything I "stand for" but the oddity of that seems that I loved this book so much more. It's an eye opener of how one man sees the things that are pushed onto him and he stands up and yells, "Fuck you" to the world. He tells them what he really thinks, and it all makes sense. He's just a guy who's telling his
I noticed one reviewer would recommend this book for satanists. And I would almost have to agree. It comes off in a way that seems like he is attempting to make some of the messed up things he has done in his life ok. It's like he is preaching to his congregation about how all the "sins" they commit are fine. He does seem to draw the line at murder, rape, child abuse and so on. In my opinion it becomes very obvious, Mr. Taylor is an athiest or even perhaps believes in a darker spiritual being.
Anyone who has listened to Corey voice his opinions before had a good idea of what we were going to get when we picked up this book. Anyone who read his columns in Rock Sound or was a fan early enough to frequent an old message board years ago when 'GBM' used to post his thoughts knew we were going to get something honest, brutal, funny but something that also made you think things through a little more. Like he mentions in the book, you don't need a degree to write about something if you have
Dont go reading this if you are expecting an autobiography as it most definitely isnt. Corey tells you a few stories from his past and you find out how he had quite a challenging, traumatic childhood. However this book is all about Corey saying how the Seven Deadly Sins are not really sins at all and gives his own view on them and his experiences of them. It sounds quite random but its highly entertaining. I found myself laughing and then later cringing at some parts of the book. Corey is very
This book is brutally honest and in your face. If Corey Taylor has something to say, believe me, he says it. This book had me mesmerized from beginning to end. Actually, I read it twice. Even if your not a fan of Slipknot or Stone Sour, this is a very compelling book that you either love or hate, agree or disagree. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who is a firm believer in the seven deadly sins, because Corey dissects the so called sins one by one calling bullshit on each of them while adding
