Corey Taylor Takes ‘You’re Making Me Hate You’ On The Road

Slipknot / Stone Sour frontman Corey Taylor has a run of special solo acoustic shows coming up in July to go along with his new book, “You’re Making Me Hate You: A Cantankerous Look at the Common Misconception That Humans Have Any Common Sense Left.”

Taylor previously penned “Seven Deadly Sins,” a memoir devoted to his life as a sinner, as well as “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Heaven,” which explores his supernatural encounters.

His third book, due out June 11 in the UK and July 7 in the U.S., is all about what grinds his gears. So, what really pisses Taylor off? Oh, everything from megamalls to reality TV to terrible fashion choices to the sorry state of much of modern music.
