Last night (December 6, 2011), vocalist/songwriter/book writer/comic Corey Taylor from Slipknot and Stone Sour, paid an intimate visit to his New York City fans in an event dubbed as "An Evening With Corey Taylor". The event took place at the Highline Ballroom and it was in commemoration of the release of Corey's New York Times Bestseller book titled "Seven Deadly Sins: Settling the Argument Between Born Bad and Damaged Good". After writing the book and voicing the audio book, Corey felt it was appropriate to present the book to his fans by having a solo tour that offers his fans a once in a lifetime opportunity to see Corey up close and personal.
The event was divided into 4 parts:
- An explanation by Taylor about his debut book "Seven Deadly Sins: Settling the Argument Between Born Bad and Damaged Good".
- A book reading by Taylor.
- A Q & A session between Taylor and his fans.
- An acoustic performance by Taylor.
"My opinion about 'Lulu'? Nobody better talk shit about Metallica in my presence. But I will reserve my comments about it."
"I am a very lucky guy! I get to be in two amazing successful bands! I released a book! And now I am starting a film company with Clown!"
Here are some of the highlights of the night:
- Taylor made it clear that Slipknot will not be releasing a NEW album in 2012, but that Slipknot will be performing in Australia in February, and in the US in the late summer as part of one of the summer festivals.
- He performed Alice In Chains' "Down In A Hole". Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb" and Nine Inch Nails' "Something I Can Never Have".
- He was joined by NYC rocker Queen V in an awesome cover of AC/DC's "Dirty Deeds"
- The crowd jumping in one leg during his acoustic version of Slipknot's "Spit It Out".
- Corey Taylor wishes everyone a Merry Xmas even though he hates it, prove of this is his X-M@$ song (which he played as an encore).
