Now in paperback, the New York Times bestseller by one of rock''s most provocative figures

Scar Tissue is Anthony Kiedis''s searingly honest memoir of a life spent in the fast lane. In 1983, four self-described "knuckleheads" burst out of the mosh-pitted mosaic of the neo-punk rock scene in L.A. with their own unique brand of cosmic hardcore mayhem funk. Over twenty years later, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, against all odds, have become one of the most successful bands in the world. Though the band has gone through many incarnations, Anthony Kiedis, the group''s lyricist and dynamic lead singer, has been there for the whole roller-coaster ride.

Whether he''s recollecting the influence of the beautiful, strong women who have been his muses, or retracing a journey that has included appearances as diverse as a performance before half a million people at Woodstock or an audience of one at the humble compound of the exiled Dalai Lama, Kiedis shares a compelling story about the price of success and excess. Scar Tissue is a story of dedication and debauchery, of intrigue and integrity, of recklessness and redemption -- a story that could only have come out of the world of rock.

    Absolutely Amazing !

    This book is amazing! It targets mostly teens, and lots of readers who are interested in the progress of become a World Wide famous band and interested in drug addicts. Whoever is also interested in the Red Hot Chilli Peppers and enjoy their music should also read it. It's interesting and very entertaining reading about the life of this musician and his life experiences . Anthony went through some very rough times through his childhood as his dad was a drug dealer and his mother was poor. It is written in firstperson which gets you more attached to the character. The becoming of his career is shocking and also amazing. He went through many band members and members dying of drug overdoses until he found the right ones. The biography has many lyrics that he wrote in it, especially some of songs you have never heard of because they were written while the band was unknown. It also goes through his relationship and his sex life which is overwhelming considering he was so young when he started getting into women. The bio. has many photos of interesting parts in the book like concerts they had, him and his ex.girlfriends, him as a baby and a child. This book is deffinetely a 5/5 and I strongly recommend it! I love Anthony Kiedis.
