COREY TAYLOR Talks Upcoming Book, Latest STONE SOUR Album On Iowa's LAZER 103.3 (Video)

March 23, 2011

On March 21, Andy Hall of the Des Moines, Iowa radio station Lazer 103.3 conducted an interview with SLIPKNOT/STONE SOUR singer Corey Taylor. You can now watch the chat in two parts below.

Taylor's upcoming book, titled "Seven Deadly Sins - Settling The Argument Between Born Bad And Damaged Good", will be published in July. The 256-page hardcover sees Taylor speaking directly to his fans and sharing his worldview about life as a sinner.

Taylor told The Pulse Of Radio, "It's about the seven deadly sins, and my take on them basically, that they're not sins at all, that they're things that in the long run kind of help us to be better people. They're not sins, they're mistakes. But also, you know, kind of balancing it with stories from, you know, growing up, from being on the road, and how I handled these quote-unquote deadly sins and hopefully came out on the other side as a better person."

STONE SOUR's third album, "Audio Secrecy", has sold 157,000 copies in the United States since its September 2010 release, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

The band's latest video, "Hesitate", was filmed on September 20, 2010 in Los Angeles with director Paul Brown (JACK WHITE/ALICIA KEYS, AVENGED SEVENFOLD, JOHN MAYER) and directing collective Beta Movement/Skulley FX.

Taylor said that "Hesitate" is one of the standout tracks on the latest STONE SOUR album for him. "It's a bittersweet song, " he said. "It's about letting go of something that you want with all your heart that you know is just gonna do nothing but damage to you. And it takes a special kind of heart and a special kind of courage to do that. And not a lot of people have that kind of courage.

"They would rather sit in a relationship for years and wallow in it because they're afraid of being alone. And this is about having the courage to say, 'You know what, I'm getting away. I'm gonna be on my own, and I'm gonna be OK.' And those first few steps are the worst, but once you get each foot in front of the other, it's a lot easier."
