Лучшие книги Кори Тейлора

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?

Corey Taylor has seen a lot of unbelievable things. However, many of his most incredible experiences might just shock you. For much of his life, he has brushed up against the supernatural world and he's seen ghosts up close and personal-whether it be while combing an abandoned house in his native Iowa as a child or recording with Slipknot in the fabled "Houdini" Hollywood Hills mansion. He's also got the memories (and scars) to prove it.

Slipknot and Stone Sour frontman Corey Taylor's third book is a searingly hilarious trawl through the endless backwaters of human stupidity, by the bestselling author of Seven Deadly Sins and A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Heaven

Corey Taylor has had it. Had it with the vagaries of human behavior and life in this postmodern digital blanked-out waiting room that passes for a world. Reality TV, awful music, terrible drivers, megamalls, airports, family reunions, bad fashion choices, other people's monstrous children, and badly-behaved "adult" human beings are warping life in the twenty-first century into an often-unbearable endurance test of one's patience, fortitude, and faith. You're Making Me Hate You is a blisteringly funny diatribe that skewers the worst aspects of human behavior with a knowing eye for every excruciating detail, told in the vivid way that only Corey Taylor can.

Like his previous bestselling forays, You're Making Me Hate You is an unflinching glimpse into the mind of Corey Taylor, who spares no one from his seething gaze. Make no mistake: this is not the Corey Taylor you run into at meet-and-greets or in line at the coffee shop. This is not the kind and cuddly guy who kisses babies and takes pictures with your mom while leaving a voicemail for that distant cousin in college. This is not the loveable scamp who can poke just as much fun at himself as he does at the various rubes around him, though to be fair he does save one chapter for a brutal and lacerating self-analysis. This is Corey Motherfucking Taylor. This is the Great Big Mouth. This is that bastard you wonder about when you listen to Slipknot and Stone Sour.

Funny, profane, blasphemous, and above all right on target, You're Making Me Hate You is pure Corey Taylor unleashed, exposing the underbelly of human depravity in all its ragged glory.

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.

Eigentlich hatte sich Corey Taylor, S?nger von Slipknot und Stone Sour, den Anfang seines vierten Buches ganz anders als gedacht. Er wollte vom gr??ten Kandidaten-Desaster aller Zeiten berichten und davon, wie alles wieder gut wurde, als die Demokraten nach der gewonnenen Wahl kapierten, dass sie wieder die Interessen des einfachen Amerikaners vertreten mussten. &t;br/&t; Und dann geschah das Unfassbare: Gar nichts wurde gut. Donald Trump wurde Pr?sident. &t;br/&t; Damit geriet Taylors Auseinandersetzung mit einem Land, das er zwar kritisch betrachtet, aber unbedingt liebt, zum Pamphlet gegen einen Mann, den er hasst und an dem sich perfekt festmachen l?sst, was in den Vereinigten Staaten alles faul ist. F?r Europ?er bietet Zertrumpelt eine kurzweilige, aber fundierte Nachhilfestunde in der j?ngeren Geschichte Amerikas: Taylor legt knapp und pointiert dar, wie sich die USA seit den Tagen der Reagan-Administration ver?ndert haben und welche Faktoren Trumps Aufstieg beg?nstigen. &t;br/&t; Als Bezugsgr??e dient ihm dazu immer wieder die eigene Kindheit und Jugend: Taylor wuchs in Iowa auf, einem jener l?ndlich gepr?gten US-Bundesstaaten jenseits der gro?en Metropolen, in denen Trump viele seiner Anh?nger rekrutiert. Doch auch wenn der S?nger daher nur allzu gut wei?, wie abgeh?ngte Globalisierungsverlierer ticken, hat er selbst dieses Milieu l?ngst verlassen; mit seinen Bands bereiste er die ganze Welt und lernte dabei, sein Heimatland auch aus anderen Blickwinkeln zu betrachten. Und deshalb bekommen sie nun alle ihr Fett weg: der rassistische Redneck genauso wie der abgehobene, elit?re «Bewusstseinsb?rger». &t;br/&t; Leidenschaftlich und voller Sprachwitz w?tet Taylor gegen Rassismus, Dummheit, Faschismus, Borniertheit und Angst – voll heiligem Zorn und politisch unkorrekt wie immer. Eine furiose Streitschrift, die gen?sslich alle bequemen Vorurteile zertr?mmert, die man auch hierzulande ?ber die USA haben mag.
