About this ebook
'I was 22 years old, a hard-on with a pulse: wretched, vice-ridden, too much to burn and not enough minutes in a hour to do so'
The action begins in West Des Moines, Iowa, where Corey Taylor, frontman of heavy metal bands Slipknot and Stone Sour, systematically set about committing each of the Seven Deadly Sins. He has picked fights with douche bags openly brandishing guns. He has set himself on fire at parties and woken up in dumpsters after cocaine binges. He lost his virginity at eleven. He got rich and famous and immersed himself in booze, women, and chaos until one day he realised, suddenly, that he didn't need any of that at all.
Now updated with a brand new chapter, 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.

Crazy stuff : clever all encompassing and ultimately True. Seven Deadly Sins are Old Testament stuff..the 'new' list he classifys at the end of the book, much better. Can we read a biography or autobiograpy next Corey. :)

I would recommend this book to anyone, obviously I'm a huge corey taylor fan and have been for a very long time but I wouldn't say u necessarily have to be a fan to enjoy his book. Lots of the stuff that he says is very clever, true and insightful. It's also very funny and the stories are very well told :-) only small complaint is I would have liked to hear more about slipknot and stone sour but other than that big thumbs up 👍

A fantastic read part autobiography part view on life and the world. Corey manages to weave a fantastic and twisted tale on his life and the way he sees the lives of others unravel before him.
