Synopsis

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?

To 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 a......more

Goodreads review by Andrew on May 10, 2012

A strong-willed rant against organized religion (not much of an autobiography). It’s tone is a mixture of Chuck Klosterman’s (Sex Drugs and Cocoa Puffs, Killing Yourself to Live: 85% of a True Story) easy going story telling and the unnecessary anger of a high school dropout metalhead. It is written......more

Goodreads review by Chloe on July 18, 2023

This was honest, funny, sad, and, as expected, very well written. While I think at times he was a little repetitive with the points he was trying to make, this was ultimately successful and a very entertaining read. I feel fortunate to get to know more about this man's mind, past and ideas on morali......more

Enjoyed that! Agree with a lot of what he says... had plenty of chuckles along the way and didn't mind being addressed as a 'kid' by Father Corey. So, read it... blow your mind, but most importantly- enjoy your life!......more
