Publisher's Summary
As lead singer and songwriter for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Anthony Kiedis has lived life on the razor's edge. Much has been written about him, but until now we've only had his songs as clues to his experience from the inside. In Scar Tissue, Kiedis proves himself to be as compelling a memoirist as he is a lyricist, giving us a searingly honest account of the life from which his music has evolved.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers are that rare breed of rock band: critically lauded and popularly embraced by millions of fans, their albums consistently sell into the stratosphere - their CD Californication sold over 13 million copies alone.
Now, in Scar Tissue, Anthony Kiedis defies the rock star clichés. In his telling, we can see everything he has done has been part of a passionate journey. Kiedis is a man "in love with everything" - the darkness, the death, the disease. Even his descent into drug addiction was a part of that journey; another element that he has transformed into art. Scar Tissue is a fascinating account of a fast-lane life, addiction, and a moving story of eventual recovery and redemption.

Amazing Story
There wasn't a sentence in this book that wasn't interesting. The narrator is a legend changing accents for different characters and making it very interesting and engaging.
This is an awesome story and won't disappoint.

Real yet repetitive
The story started out great, as I found the authors childhood and the bands meteoric rise enthralling. However about halfway through the story I found that it got really repetitive and my interest began to wane.
The narrator was perfect and I’m keen to follow up on other books he has out there.

A book about drugs and rock and roll
A great book, but he does describe the depths he went through on drug benders and his sober periods
