SLIPKNOT/STONE SOUR's COREY TAYLOR Reveals New Book Plans - Aug. 27, 2012
Harry of the Minneapolis, Minnesota radio station 93X conducted an interview with SLIPKNOT/STONE SOUR frontman Corey Taylor at SLIPKNOT's first-ever Knotfest, an extraordinary two-date metal and hard rock festival whch took place on August 17 in Council Bluffs, Iowa and August 18 in Somerset, Wisconsin. You can now watch the chat below.

Asked if he is planning to write another book following last year's "Seven Deadly Sins - Settling The Argument Between Born Bad And Damaged Good", Taylor said, "I'm working on book two right now. It's gonna be really cool. I'm about, I'd say, a quarter of the way through it, which is good, 'cause I don't have to turn it in until November. It's probably gonna stir up some pretty good beef with certain people, but I don't really care. The working title right now is 'A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To Heaven', and it's basically my experiences with the paranormal, and ghost sightings, and occurences, and I've had a lot, enough that I'm writing a damn book about it. But it's actually… It's about how can I believe in ghosts, and not in God? So it's a very interesting conversation. And that's kind of what I wanted to do with 'Seven Deadly Sins', was start a conversation and get people thinking about it. Because the stuff that interests me is the stuff that nobody talks about. And I have the weirdest ideas pop into my head, and there's nobody there to talk about it with. So this is the perfect way for me to kind of start a conversation with a lot of people. Certain chapters will be specifically about the experiences that I've had in certain houses and whatnot, one of which is the mansion in L.A. where we recorded [SLIPKNOT's] 'Vol. 3' [album], and just kind of my take on the whole religion thing, so that's probably gonna get me in some deep hotwater, but I'm so used to it by now, it's not even funny."

Regarding whether he can envision himself writing a novel one day, Taylor said, "I feel like I've got a novel in me somewhere, but that's something… I was just talking to a buddy of mine about it, who's a writer as well, and he's nearly done with his first novel, and it's taken him 11-12 years to do it. And I can totally understand; it's a long process. I mean, you're creating a world, you're creating something from scratch. And it's always been easier for me to talk non-fiction than fiction. I'm kind of broaching it with the new STONE SOUR album, with the short story that accompanies the concept albums. But that was 12,000 words, which is a piece of piss — I mean, you've gotta get in, you do your thing, and there it is. And I had the added bonus of being able to have music tell a lot of the story as well, through the lyrics and whatnot. But yeah, I think some day. But I know me. I would never wanna out out something that I didn't back, that I didn't think was quality, that I didn't think was up to scratch. I have a very, very high yardstick when it comes to putting something out that's really amazinbg. So, for me, maybe down the line sometime, but nothing in the near future."

"Seven Deadly Sins - Settling The Argument Between Born Bad And Damaged Good" made the New York Times hardcover non-fiction best sellers list after it came out in July 2011, debuting at No. 26.

Taylor promoted the book by doing appearances where he read, performed a few songs and signed copies.

Released in the U.S. via De Capo Press, "Seven Deadly Sins - Settling The Argument Between Born Bad And Damaged Good" saw Taylor speaking directly to his fans and sharing his worldview about life as a sinner. While the 256-page hardcover book was Taylor's personal story, it was also described as "a larger discussion of what it means to be seen as either a 'good' person or a 'bad' one."

The only thing I want to read about Corey Taylor is an obituary.

"Because the stuff that interests me is the stuff that nobody talks about."

I beg to differ. The stuff that interests Corey Taylor is whatever bullshit he can babble about that makes him feel super intelligent when in fact everyone has thought of this shit and no one else finds it all that fascinating because they're not egomaniacs who think every random thought that flies through their head is of vital importance!

lol. very intellectually stimulating comment. great use of a strong vocabulary for someone who is an avid reader of the dictionary and thesaurus when it suits his need to sound intelligent and just plain ridiculous.

My point is, this is someone who is going to co-write a book about the supernatural and spiritual? What perspective of his could be so profound and shed light on things that have yet to occur to our own tiny insignificant thoughts? I will be first in line to buy this book and God-willing, I will learn the secrets of a Samsara-esque existence and bask in Corey Taylor (of the nu-metal band Slipknot and hard rock band, Stone Sour)'s enlightenment.

And I get 5 thumbs down and no replies as to why you think I was wrong or something. you know its true, but don't want to admit it. I don't go to Meshuggah pages and write insults that can be applied to any artist, because im more mature than most of the bmouth jerkoffs in here.

This should have been his first book tbh. Because everyone pretty much knows that the Seven Deadly Sins aren't sins. At least I would hope they do... It seemed obvious to me when I learned about them. But I always thought that too, how could you believe in ghosts but not heaven and hell and whatnot? If you're saying ghosts exist but not heaven and hell does that mean we're all going to be ghosts when we die? And where is everyone who isn't a ghost? It is an interesting topic. But most of it is all opinions and that's why I tend to avoid talking about it. It's a type of conversation that goes nowhere.

It is beyond any shadow of doubt the worst book I've ever read. He talks about the same stuff, in the same way, over and over again. He sometimes throw in some fancy words but I doubt he knows how to use them. I'm not a hater in any ways. I just read his book and came to one simple conclusion. He should not be allowed to write another one.
