Song titles like People=Shit and My Plague may speak for themselves, but Taylor has more to add. Taylor’s misanthropic inclinations will come as little surprise to those familiar with Slipknot, the mask-wearing, primeval-roaring nu metal band who found success in the late 90s with their abrasive take on the world. As the title of his latest tome suggests, he is a cynic at heart. This is that bastard you wonder about when you listen to Slipknot and Stone Sour.įunny, 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.You’re Making Me Hate You is the third book by Corey Taylor, lead vocalist of metal bands Slipknot and Stone Sour.
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 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.
Make no mistake: this is not the Corey Taylor you run into at meet-and-greets or in line at the coffee shop.
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. 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. 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. Had it with the vagaries of human behavior and life in this postmodern digital blanked-out waiting room that passes for a world. New York Times bestselling leadsinger of Slipknot and Stone Sour's hilarious trawl through the endless backwaters of human stupidityĬorey Taylor has had it.
