A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Heaven

Corey Taylor's condemnation of the alarming rise in worldwide idiocy, buffoonery, and out-and-out disregard for intelligent thought

An Uncommon Guide to Common Sense

You're Making Me Hate You

A skewering of the American underbelly by the New York Times bestselling author of Seven Deadly Sins, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Heaven, and You're Making Me Hate You The always-outspoken hard rock vocalist Corey Taylor begins America 51 with a reflection on what his itinerant youth and frequent worldwide travels with his multiplatinum bands Slipknot and Stone Sour have taught him about what it means to be an American in an increasingly unstable world. He examines the way America sees itself, specifically with regard to the propaganda surrounding America's origins (like a heavy-metal Howard Zinn), while also celebrating the quirks and behavior that make a true-blue American. Taylor likewise takes a look at how the world views us, and his findings should come as a surprise to no one. But behind Taylor's ranting and raving is a thoughtful and intelligent consideration, and even a sadness, of what America is compared to what it could and should be. Expertly balancing humor, outrage, and disbelief, Taylor examines the rotting core of America, evaluating everything from politics and race relations to modern family dynamics, millennials, and "man buns." No element of what constitutes America is safe from his adept and scathing eye. Continuing the wave of moral outrage begun in You're Making Me Hate You, Taylor flawlessly skewers contemporary America in his own signature style.

Anthrax: Among The Living

Corey Taylor has seen a lot of unbelievable things. The Grammy Award-winning singer of Slipknot and Stone Sour's curiosity has drawn him into situations that wouldâe(tm)ve sent most people screaming scared and running for the hills. Coreyâe(tm)s ballsy enough to go into the darkness and deal with the consequences though. As a result, heâe(tm)s seen ghosts up close and personal, whether it be while combing through an abandoned house in his native Iowa as a child or recording an album in the fabled Houdini Hollywood Hills mansion. Heâe(tm)s also got the memories (and scars) to prove it. For some reason, he canâe(tm)t seem to shake these spectral stories, and that brings us to this little tome right here... At the same time, being an erudite, tattooed, modern Renaissance Man, he never bought into the whole God thing. Simply put, heâe(tm)s seen ghosts, but he hasnâe(tm)t seen Jesus. Corey especially canâe(tm)t find a reason why people do the insane things they do in HIS name. Thatâe(tm)s where everything really gets interesting. His second book, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Heaven, compiles Coreyâe(tm)s most intimate, incredible, and insane moments with the supernatural. His memories are as vivid as they are vicious. As he recounts these stories, he questions the validity of religious belief systems and two-thousand-year-old dogma. As always his rapid-fire writing, razor sharp sense of humour, unbridled honesty, and cosy anecdotes make quite the case for his point. You might end up believing him or not. Thatâe(tm)s up to you, of course. Either way, youâe(tm)re in for a hell of ride.

House of Gold & Bones

Slipknot and Stone Sour frontman Corey Taylor's New York Times bestselling treatise on sin and the nature of it 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 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.

"The lead singer of Slipknot and Stone Sour goes undercover through various ghostbusting groups who do their best to gather information and evidence about the existence of spirits and shares his own beyond-the-grave encounters. 60,000 first printing."

Anthrax: Among the Living (HC)

Solch ein Buch hat es von einem Rock-Superstar bislang noch nicht gegeben: Corey Taylor nimmt den Leser mit auf eine Reise in übersinnliche, paranormale Welten. Gibt es wirklich Geister? Spukt es in alten Häusern? Corey Taylor sagt ja, denn er war selber oft dabei. Viele übernatürliche und unerklärliche Situationen hat Corey Taylor selbst erlebt, zum Beispiel im "Cold House". Gemeinsam mit Wissenschaftlern und Amateurforschern ging er diesen Phänomenen nach. Einfach nur verrückt - oder steckt mehr dahinter? Zum zweiten Mal nach seinem Debüt mit dem Buch "Die sieben Todsünden" erlaubt Corey Taylor einen Blick hinter die Kulissen seines aufregenden Lebens als Musiker, Frontmann, Sänger und Texter der Bands Slipknot und Stone Sour. Kaum eine Band wird so kontrovers diskutiert wie die amerikanische Nu-Metal- und Alternative-Metal-Formation Slipknot. In der Öffentlichkeit tritt die Band in einheitlichen Overalls auf, nur die gruseligen Gesichtsmasken, ihr Markenzeichen, sind individuell gestaltet. Der Name ist Programm: "Slipknot" ist das englische Wort für den Henkersknoten. 2006 gewann Slipknot einen Grammy für die beste Heavy Metal-Performance. Das martialische Auftreten ist keinesfalls nur Fassade, es spiegelt auch den echten Lebenswandel der Band wider: Mit nur 38 Jahren wurde Bassist Paul Gray am Pfingstmontag 2010 tot in einem Hotelzimmer im US-Bundesstaat Iowa aufgefunden. Er starb an einer Überdosis Drogen und Medikamente. Corey Taylor ist gleichzeitig auch Sänger und Gitarrist der Band Stone Sour, die - im Gegensatz zu Slipknot - eher melodischen Hardrock spielen. Sein Spektrum reicht hier von melodisch-klarem Gesang bis zu dem Slipknot-typischen "screaming" und "growling". Taylor ist berühmt für seine mitunter verstörende Bühnenshow. Sein ausschweifendes Leben ist geprägt von Exzessen jeglicher Art. In Taylors erstem, ebenfalls autobiografischem Buch geht es um die von der Kirche festgeschriebenen "sieben Todsünden": Hochmut, Geiz, Wollust, Zorn, Völlerei, Neid und Faulheit. Corey Taylor beschreibt, wie er selbst zu diesen Sünden steht und wie er mit diesen umgeht. In seinem neuen Buch erzählt er wieder eine spannende autobiografische Geschichte, diesmal über Geistwesen und Spukerscheinungen. Hochspannung ist garantiert!
