About this listen

 In 1983 four self-described 'knuckleheads' burst out of the neo-punk rock scene in L.A. with their own unique brand of cosmic hard-core mayhem funk. Over 20 years later, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, against all the 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 rollercoastar ride.

Scar Tissue far transcends the typical rock biography, because Anthony Kiedis is anything but a typical rock star. It is instead a searingly honest memoir - a compelling story of dedication and debauchery, of intrigue and integrity, of recklessness and redemption. It is a story that could only have come out of Hollywood.

Interesting insight into one man his band and his struggle with addiction. Would be interesting to have a catch up added to the book bringing it into 2016

Good narrator (especially loved Fleas voice) interesting story, I found an easy listen. The last chapter was a little bit boring, but it needed a wrap up.

A really interesting audio. I had no idea that Anthony Kiedis was struggling so badly with addiction. An inspiring tale for individuals who struggle with addiction.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was wonderful to learn how Anthony made his way to be a singer of one of the biggest Punk Rock groups in the world. How he portrays the trials and tribulations of drug use, falling in love very easily (and repeatedly) and how money doesn't always buy happiness.

A fascinating insight to a musician's life
