About this listen

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. Kiedis defies the rock star clichés, revealing that everything he has done has been part of a passionate journey--even his descent into drug addiction, which he transformed into art. Scar Tissue is a fascinating and moving account of a fast-lane life, addiction, and eventual recovery and redemption.

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.

Amazing Story

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.

Real yet repetitive
