Where the hell does Corey Taylor find the time? In the last year, Taylor has released a book, went on tour with Slipknot, completed a Stone Stour record and will now be touring with Stone Sour. On top of all that, he's writing another book, this one focusing on ghosts and the paranormal.
Speaking with Minneapolis radio station 93x, Taylor had this to say about the book:
“I’m working on book two right now. It’s gonna be really cool. I’m about, I’d say. A quarter of the way through it, which is good, because I don’t have to turn it in until November. The working title right now is ‘A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Heaven’ and it’s basically my experiences with the paranormal, and ghost sightings, and occurrences, and I’ve had a lot, enough that I’m writing a damn book about it.
It’s probably gonna stir up some pretty good beef with certain people, but I don’t really care.
It’s about how can I believe in ghosts, and not in God? So it’s a very interesting conversation And that’s kind of what I wanted to do with ‘Seven Deadly Sins’, was start a conversation and get people thinking about it. Because the stuff that interests me is the stuff that nobody talks about. And I have the weirdest ideas pop into my head, and there’s nobody there to talk about it with. So this is the perfect way for me to kind of start a conversation with a lot of people.”
Certain chapters will be specifically about the experiences that I’ve had in certain houses and whatnot, one of which is the mansion in L.A. where we recorded ‘Vol. 3′ album, and just kind of my take on the whole religion thing. So that’s probably gonna get me in some deep hotwater, but I’m so used to it by now, it’s not even funny.”
I guess I'm intrigued by this. Taylor is adamantly anti-religion, yet believes in ghosts? It'll be interesting to read his argument. Will you be on board?
