In SCAR TISSUE Anthony Kiedis, the charismatic and highly articulate frontman of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, recounts his remarkable life story, and the history of the band itself. He tells of his childhood living in LA with his unconventional father; an early life spent hobnobbing with celebrities and becoming a child film actor; setting up the band with his school friend Flea in the early 80s; discovering a love of live performance and songwriting; and the years spent struggling with a drug addiction that left him a homeless multi-millionaire living on speedball mixtures of heroin and cocaine. SCAR TISSUE far transcends the typical rock biography, because Anthony Kiedis is anything but a typical rock star. The result is a surprisingly honest and moving account of a man who almost destroyed himself, and the band that helped him rebuild his life.

Anthony Kiedis is the most upbeat heroin addict. Through all of his trials and tribulations with addiction he keeps a positive attitude(In the book, at least.) This was a pleasure to read and I had a hard time putting it down at night.

Awesome book
I read this 3 times in a row when I got it, and I wasn't even that much of a fan, although I liked the band, but this is just a fun and fascinating book, and I was a huge fan of his when I was done. Again, not for the morally righteous, as there's allot of bad things being talked about, but for anyone who likes him or his band or music at least, I would suggest this book. Or even if you like a good autobiography, I would suggest this. This guy had a fascinating childhood, and has a fascinating story to tell.

Unable to put down
If you have ever tried drugs - of any sort... in any form or shape then you will relate to this book more so then if you were 'normal' as Anthony puts it. It is an incredible stroy of the whirlwind of sex, drugs and music in the literal term. wrtitten well and easy to follow with comments to make you laugh out loud, gasp in horror, cheer and relate to, you will not only become a fan of Anthony, you will feel like you have seen into the soul of many poeple out there with similar issues An exceptional book for anyone who is into biographies, music, a fan of the Red Hot Chili Peppers or simply wanting a great book to read. highly recommend it :)
