Scar Tissue: Red Hot Chili Peppers

Product Information

it always reminded me of the playground jive talk and dissin I used to hear at our heavily intergrated high school except it was set to a boring backbeat. Kiedis released Scar Tissue in 2004, and although it was incredibly honest, revelations in the book have negatively impacted his reputation. I mean, he apparently suffers a severe case of LSS (that would be Lead Singer Syndrome for those of you unfamiliar with the term). Kiedis admirably negotiates his way through the detritus of shattered veins, scattered needles and broken hearts. SCAR TISSUE far transcends the typical rock biography, because Anthony Kiedis is anything but a typical rock star.

The more interesting incidents are not really covered in much detail, their meaning is never explained or delved into but anything involving drugs gets the full treatment to the detriment of all else.What a big fat LIAR, gee, maybe if you posted that picture I would have bought this load of horse crap. In “Life,” Richards’ clearly reveres Mick in spite of their creative differences and wildly contrasting life philosophies.

I also just could not get over the fact that not once did he condemn his father who essentially got him into doing drugs at age 11 but would make snippy little comments about band mates and girlfriends at every turn for relatively inconsequential things. Several months ago, I read “Open,” a riveting memoir of the tortured, yet soulful sports figure Andre Agassi. I did regret the book for a while as there was some pain caused,” he told The Sun newspaper in 2016. In 2008, it was reported that Kiedis was developing a television series for HBO titled Spider and Son which would be loosely based on Scar Tissue. Rogers with them, ensconced in a cookie-cutter neighborhood and playing at Gymboree and in parks while you were scoring with dealers and women and living in your lonely mansions.However, Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis left no stone unturned, and he later regretted his decision. In SCAR TISSUE Anthony Kiedis, charismatic and highly articulate frontman of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, recounts his remarkable life story, and the history of the band itself.

He is just incredibly full of himself from childhood to adulthood and everything in between, and it was hard to sympathize or feel bad for any of the stupid situations he got himself into. Drug addiction is a monster that many people deal with and it is nothing to be taken lightly, and I felt like he just didn't bring enough attention to the seriousness of it all. Later, he reveals that he was not actually clean, as he claimed at the time, during the late-nineties Californication era of the band's existence. All in all I would have given this book 5 stars had the continuous cycle of drug abuse and rehab not gotten a little monotonous.Scar Tissue” is a rather conventional rock n' roll autobiography from the lead singer of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Anthony Kiedis.
