Though not generally as articulate as Marilyn Manson's similar autobiography, Kiedis's story of childhood drug use, adolescent fame and hard-won maturity will strike a chord with fans of Drew Barrymore's Little Girl Lost. Though he peppers his book with little known facts (for instance, the author narrowly missed being named Clark Gable Kiedis), the punk-funk rocker dedicates too few pages to his introspective music-writing process and too many to his incessant drug use and revolving door of girlfriends (which included actress Ione Skye, singer Sinéad O'Connor and director Sofia Coppola). But while Kiedis fails to scratch beneath the surface of his fast-lane life, his frankness is mov
with their own unique brand of cosmic hardcore mayhem funk. 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. Over twenty years later, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, against all odds, have become one of the most successful bands in the world. 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.. Now in paperback, the New York Times bestseller by one of rock's most provocative figuresScar Tissue is Anthony Kiedis's searingly honest memoir of a life spent in the fast lane.

"A lifelong drug trip." according to B. Wolinsky. The first quarter of this book is a hair-raising adventure. Kiedis is a kid who is born and raised to party; his father is a drug dealing hippie who lives with a stable full of groupies and that sums up the kid’s life. He and his father both get into acting, then lose their gigs because they’re both undisciplined. He grows up manic, fearless, stupid, adventurous, and eccentric at the same time. It’s both frightening and hilarious to read about. Being an outsider is a common theme in this book. He goes from hippie kid in Michigan, . Excellent memoir I have found Anthony Kiedis interesting since the first time I heard RHCP in the middle 80's. I heard 'Fight Like A Brave', ran out and bought the 12" vinyl mix. I've followed RHCP music for years and the thing I love the best is that they really have their own genre. There is no way you can put them in one category, and to methat is genious. I digress.I have to say sometimes I avoid actively knowing very much about famous people, because sometimes you can get pretty disappointed. (Example, a certain female singer is such a nasty person in real lif. I feel closer to Anthony Kiedis Susie I've never really liked the RHCP and thought the band was overrated. I somehow landed on this book (I think my boyfriend told me about it) and I enjoyed every inch of it. I feel more connected to his music after understanding where his music comes from. I hope that in the end he gets to heal his scar tissue.
