'I was 22 years old, a hard-on with a pulse: wretched, vice-ridden, too much to burn and not enough minutes in a hour to do so'

The action begins in West Des Moines, Iowa, where Corey Taylor, frontman of heavy metal bands Slipknot and Stone Sour, systematically set about committing each of the Seven Deadly Sins. He has picked fights with douche bags openly brandishing guns. He has set himself on fire at parties and woken up in dumpsters after cocaine binges. He lost his virginity at eleven. He got rich and famous and immersed himself in booze, women, and chaos until one day he realised, suddenly, that he didn't need any of that at all.
Now updated with a brand new chapter, 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.

About The Author
Corey Taylor is an American musician best known as the lead singer of hard rock bands Slipknot and Stone Sour, which together have sold over 10 million records. Taylor has been nominated for 10 Grammies and has won one. He has also written his own monthly column for UK magazine, Rock Sound, since 2001.
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--------Corey Taylor is old enough to remember a LOT and yet still young enough to cling to ideals that have shaped his way of thinking and living. Unfortunately that flies in the face of what this country has come to stand for. It feels more like 1968 than 2017, and that's a frightening concept.Taylor (ever the heavy metal George Carlin) begins America 51 with a reflection on what his itinerant youth and frequent and worldwide travels with his multi-platinum bands Slipknot and Stone Sour have taught him about what it means to be an American in an increasingly unstable world. From there, he looks at the way America sees itself, in particular in relation to the propaganda surrounding America's origins (a heavy metal Howard Zinn), while also celebrating the quirks and behavior that make a true blue American. Balancing humor, outrage, and disbelief, Taylor examines the rotting core of America in 2017, including politics, race relations, class systems, and family.And casting an even wider net, and again working with what his travels around the world have taught him, Taylor shares what the world thinks about us, from tourism to our domestic behavior. And of course, it wouldn't be a book about America without a deep look at the power of celebrity, money, and toxic reality TV.Along the way, Taylor also takes aim at American staples like religion, booze, millennials, and man buns, before summarizing what he thinks we can do to change things for the better, while also considering the sad truth that we may have gone too far to try.Continuing the wave of moral outrage begun in You're Making Me Hate You, America 51 skewers contemporary America in the way that only Slipknot and Stone Sour frontman Corey Taylor can.--------Available Now from Hachette Audio as a digital download, Hardcover and Ebook from Da Capo Press.
