You re making me hate you кори тейлор

Фронтмен SLIPKNOT костерит современное общество и размышляет о пришельцах, которые спасаются бегством
Новая книга фронтмена SLIPKNOT и STONE SOUR Кори Тейлора под названием «You’re Making Me Hate You: A Cantankerous Look At The Common Misconception That Humans Have Any Common Sense Left» выйдет 7 июля в издательстве Da Capo Press (отделение Perseus Books Group). В преддверии релиза Кори презентовал отрывок труда на сайте газеты TheGuardian.com, ну а мы попытались его перевести.
Музыка, ТВ, кино, интернет, книги (да-да, те самые, что ваши дети скачивают на свой Kindle Fires). Куда ни глянь – везде развлечение, и оно падает под тяжестью собственного мусора. Я перефразирую Майкла Бэя, который лучше всего резюмировал мою мысль, когда заявил критикам, что ему насрать на их мнение о последних «Трансформерах». Он сказал: «Короче, вы все увидите» — и оказался прав. Это был первый фильм 2014 года, переваливший отметку в $100 миллионов за первый уик-энд в США. Бэй может продолжать снимать это чертово дерьмо, пока не решит заморозить себя, чтобы пережить будущее. Это не имеет никакого значения. Лемминги направятся к обрыву без тени мысли в глазах, прежде чем почувствуют свист ветра на размытых лицах и рухнут на дно каньона. Эти лемминги — мы с вами. В зависимости от позиций, наши чувства по поводу развлечений могут быть либо ветром, толкающим лица, либо землей, продавливающей черепа. Как ни крути, мы в жопе.
Раньше говорили: «Дерьмо случается». Я добавлял: «Дерьмо случается, только не позволяйте ему случаться рядом с собой». Теперь, с дорогой в жизни и жизнью в дороге пришло время сказать: «ДЕРЬМО ПРОДАЕТСЯ». Это истина – вы все любите свое дерьмо. От производимой музыки, пустых гламурных фильмов и роликов в интернете, которые показывают наш идиотизм, до зависимости от искажающих реальность телепередач – эта поговорка становится фактом. Люди, штампующие это дерьмо, знают свою аудиторию. Они знают, что вы будете покупать, смотреть и слушать это дерьмо, если добавить порядком блеска. Они считают вас тупицами, и это их не заботит. Они с радостью продолжат высасывать содержание и малейший намек на мысль из своего продукта, постоянно сокращая затраты, чтобы получить наибольший выхлоп. Все вокруг и есть продукт. Нет искусства, нет сердца, нет цели, нет души – только полнейший мусор для вашего удовольствия. Если бы я был тобой, я бы оскорбился. Но я не оскорблен, потому что я не покупаю это дерьмо. Я бойкотирую его.
Хотите быть лучшего мнения о себе? Хотите доказать, что не потребляете дерьмо? Так берите плакат и присоединяйтесь в моем бойкоте. Сделайте заявление, которое не будет иметь ничего общего с голосованием на копающемся в говне шоу «Голос» (The Voice). Тщательно выбирайте фильмы, а не бросайтесь на все подряд для «молодых взрослых» (YA, young adult), где актеры выходят с Лемон Фейсом (Lemon Face). Избегайте клипов про промежности и компиляций «Живем только раз» на отстойниках вроде YouTube, Vine, Insta. Кормите мозг чем-нибудь кроме пустого хаоса и посредственной бессмыслицы. Испытайте себя, прочитайте книгу без картинок. Найдите шоу, которое отыщет хоть какое-нибудь вещество в вашем мозгу и заставит его работать. Слушайте музыку, где есть что-то еще кроме тысячи повторений слова «Baby». Мозг и интеллект значат не меньше, чем ваше тело. Если вы их кормите, они расцветают и крепнут. Если ты жрешь только пустые калории из бистро, однажды наступит момент, когда ты начнешь дышать через рот, а костяшки твоих пальцев упрутся в бетон, пока ты пытаешься добраться до центра трудоустройства.
Спросите себя: Если мы поубиваем друг друга или достигнем такой технологической точки, когда сможем покинуть планету, что найдут пришельцы, просеявшие обломки нашей цивилизации через эоны лет? Хотите, чтобы нас судили по Баху или Биберу? Чтобы читали Гюго или «Летнюю поваренную книгу» The View? Кого они будут считать величайшим человеком, Стивена Хокинга или Джонни Мэнзела? Не решат ли они на основании увиденного прикончить каждого из нас, чтобы мы не распространяли это шутовство по космосу? Или они окинут взором весь оставленный мусор, созерцая наше дерьмо, потрут свои щупальца и скажут: «Серьезно? ЭТО по вашему мнению хорошо?».
Да, меня волнует, что о нас подумают пришельцы. И, нет, я не древний космонавт-теоретик. Я не думаю, что нас посетит продвинутый вид существ. Я не думаю, что они строят заговор с целью вторжения. Мне кажется, если они наблюдают, то согласятся со мной: Интересно, какого ляда вы, люди, так загипнотизированы этими нелепыми развлечениями. Они сидят в своих космических кораблях, смотрят на наши привычки и приходят к выводу, что мы все – обезьяны в дизайнерских шмотках. Они думают, что мы конченные дебилы. Их поражает, что мы вообще в состоянии кормить себя и строить укрытия при всей глупости, которой себя подвергаем. Но хуже всего тот факт, что наша глупость заразительна. Им кажется, что если они спустятся к нам, чтобы установить контакт, есть вероятность поймать тот же «вирус пустоты». Это угрожает жизни… ладно, то, что они называют своими фекалиями, пугает их больше всего. И эти удивительные существа за пределами нашей способности восприятия оставляют нас. Они уходят на карантин и не вернутся, пока дом не опустеет, пока не погаснут огни. И только тогда они заглянут вновь, чтобы проверить, остались ли еще «тупые» порывы. Они сохраняют дистанцию, и это меня разочаровывает. Я действительно хочу, чтобы они вернулись и забрали меня с собой. Какая бы раковая опухоль не угрожала этому миру, я ни при чем.
Мировой коэффициент IQ приближается к одной цифре. Люди смотрят в никуда своим глянцевым и стеклянным взглядом. Самое ужасное, что я устал с ними бороться. Кто мне поможет?

I wanted to love this book. As a fan of Slipknot and Stone Sour, I was looking forward to a glimpse inside the mind of Corey Taylor. Unfortunately, I found his musings lacking insightfulness and mostly dull, irrelevant, obvious, and sometimes childish. However, I do think he has a knack for writing as far as vocabulary and the ability to string words together to create interesting sentences. (Seemingly endless fart jokes and profanity aside.) Though this doesn’t surprise me, he’s an incredible song writer. His creative use of language was the only thing that got me through to the end of the book. Which brings me to my biggest pet peeve with the book. Music snobs. I have love (in varying degrees) and appreciation for all genres of music. Metal and rock music is by far one of the greatest joys of my life. I have found though that many of my fellow metal aficionado’s seem to have a disdain for most other genres of music. While Mr. Taylor seems to share my enthusiasm for many types of music, he also devalues and trashes others. I think all music has value. Let’s face it, for most of us life is a crap sandwich with a great big bowl of suck on the side. Music becomes our happy place. And if some little girl out there somewhere is having a really bad day and hearing Justin Bieber sing «Baby, Baby, Baby» gives her 3 minutes and 27 seconds of happiness, I say that has value. When it comes to music, one persons «suck» is another’s salvation.

so I’ll cut to the chase, I read «America 51» and was very displeased as to what Corey had to say. Just a whole bunch of rambling in regards to unsupported claims made by Taylor. This book is also a rant without cited sources as well and frankly I cant argue with anyone who doesn’t support their arguments with facts. I’am making this an exception because when it came to traveling (all modes of travel in the U.S) and situational awareness, Corey pointed out very significant arguments as a resident of California and traffic that I do have to negotiate on a daily basis yes this needs to be addressed to our citizens.
Taylor made a statement as to the regulation of vehicles sold to consumers that I 100% agree with. The thing with Taylor is that he is very much talk yes he has done one benefit concert with anthrax in 2011 but he still needs to produce more actions as to his arguments. I live in ventura county California where the Thomas fires have done significant damage it would be very good of him to come on down and play a concert at our summer fair usually in August. A lot of Americans should probably read this book as this time I agree with his arguments.

Definitely insightful and accurate view about those people who aren’t the «sharpest knife in the drawer» when it comes to air travel, driving, child rearing, relationships, and just life. Might have liked it a bit better if f%&$ and sh!@ wasn’t in every other sentence. 8 hours of listening was just enough time to increase my frequency of dropping the f-bomb if not paying attention. But without the excessive cursing, it might not be quite as humorous. Would definitely read again…but with a swear jar and stack of dollar bills at my side. ????

If you are familiar with the front man of either Slipknot or Stone Sour then you are familiar with his rants. They are fantastic! Witty, intelligent, and well worded. This guy’s vocabulary is unbelievable! His books are always entertaining. If for nothing else, use this book as a way to expand on your own vocabulary.

Yup, I enjoy his writing style. I will admit that I’ve been a Slipknot Fan since 1999. I still have the “hard copy” book & actually was reading it while I waited for my car being serviced. Corey is a writer I enjoy — aside from his musical talents. I really enjoy his frenetic way of expressing himself in written word (prose for the snooty). Love his music, love his many published works. It’s up to you to decide. I enjoy his words.

Being a Slipknot fan myself, I told myself I would make this as unbiased as possible, so here it goes…
You’re Making Me Hate You is one of the most hilarious books I have EVER had the pleasure of reading. From children to airports right down to kids with YouTube, this was something definitely worth reading! If you like books that really tell how it is, then check this book out at a library or buy it yourself, like I did. You will not regret it!

Didn’t find it surprising that Mr. Taylor and I share a lot of the same issues. For anyone who needs a good shot of reality into their perception of society look no further. Cory delivers similar to the great George Carlin (RIP) in a humorous and interesting way on his views of pretty much everything.

there are some times in the book where it sounds like rambling but he does keep it interesting by making it seem as if he is talking to you personally. he also makes in my opinion a few to many references some people might not get. now the book is pretty funny and well worded wit a rater big vocabulary even with all the foul language, but hey these are words coming from a heavy metal singer so what did you expect for everything to be kid friendly. the good for sure out weighs the bad features of the book nd opens up with a hilarious agreement fallowed by a funny story.

Some of the humour and grit lost in print but LOVED the audio version

I’ll be honest, I got a little bored when I started reading this, however, I loved the audio version of the book — really funny and easy to agree with Corey’s hating on, well, everyone.
I think in print the anecdotes and rants don’t quite hold up as strong as they do when spoken by the author, who’s voice gives the tales more grit and humour than can be achieved in print.
That may reveal more about the book editing than the skills of the author. Anyway, it was the first book of this author I’ve read and the audio did spur me on the purchase another — which I am enjoying more.
I’m not sure how this book would go down with readers who the author is ‘unknown’ to by his music career, but as fan of his music myself I enjoyed it and would recommend to others who are familiar with his other works.

Love Corey Taylor, he’s frontman for a couple of my favourite bands and is surprisingly smart and well-educated. I say «surprisingly» only because he appears to put up a «blockhead» persona, which is far from the truth.
His anecdotes are amusing but he overdoes the descriptions and makes people and situations disappear in a flurry of florid and lurid language. He also goes off on a tangent quite often, which really doesn’t matter too much if you’re listening to someone talking in a pub, but it is frustrating here.
I found myself saying more than once to myself: Get to the point, PLEASE!
Having said all that, it’s still an amusing book and probably an even better audiobook, but he’s done better.
I think the audiobook version of this would be better

Another great book from Corey Taylor. He writes it how he sees it and I find myself nodding and agreeing with him on so many things. Slipknot and Stonesour are two of my favourite bands and the talents are taken further with his books.
