Seven Deadly Sins: Settling the Argument Between Born Bad and Damaged Good
Autor Corey Tayloren Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 iul 2012
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
Sinsis
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.

Recenzii
"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."
—Publishers Weekly
"[Taylor is] a literary genius of this day and age...Seven Deadly Sinsis full of hilarious and thought provoking metaphors, innuendos and references that need to be highlighted just so you can show your friends...I can not recommend this book enough. This a MUST-READ book."
—Hollywood Music Magazine
"Dishy."
—Revolver
"An in-depth argument for the redefinition of sin, meshed with personal stories from[Taylor's] childhood and career."
—Metro New York and Metro Boston
"Corey Taylor is one of those people that just seems impossible good at whatever he chooses to pursue, and I have no doubt that this tome will reflect this fact."
—Seattle Weekly
"With his literary debut, Corey Taylor delivers a unique spin on the rock star biography, foregoing the strip-mined territory of the rock and roll tell-all and instead incorporating tales of his excesses into an articulate, thought-provoking examination of sin, morality and the search for purpose...He combines his own life experiences with an intriguing examination of the seven deadly sins...His style is intimate and conversational, as if you're the last two standing after a long night out and he's sharing his deepest beliefs over the last cigarette of the evening...Loads of humor, colorful analogies and of course, some riveting stories of life in the fast line."
—The Nervous Breakdown
"[Taylor] takes an f-bomb loaded crack at philosophizing on sin and an often astute look at modern society's folly."
—Des Moines Register
"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."
—Oakland Press
"Corey is as matter-of-factly blunt as it gets. He is articulate enough to issue his point of view clearly and a good enough writer to render the stories of his life with great readability. I remember when I first saw a picture of him and his band mates in Slipknot. I read that they were from Iowa. I thought of all that flat space, the quintessentially American cultural dead zone they were ripping themselves out of and knew that they were very much for real. A lot of guys like Corey die young in America's abundant killing fields. They get shot in parking lots outside of bars, they overdose, hang themselves in basements or spend their lives in correctional facilities. Corey figured something out, figured out quite a few things, actually. He's an interesting guy, smart from hard lessons."
—Henry Rollins
"A compelling read, the book is a refreshing journey through an age-old concept and its definition. The warts-and-all approach he uses in his lyrical approach is used inSeven Deadly Sinsto winning effect."
