Book Reviews of Scar Tissue

Book Review: AWESOME BOOK
Summary: 4 Stars

Okay so I adore John Frusciante & the Red Hot Chili Peppers and I heard this book was really good, so I figured that I would pick it up. It's not a great bio but a great book. PERIOD! Like everything I would take some of the stuff with a grain of salt but Kiedis does have an excellent memory for an ex-junkie (most of them can't remember anything) and it's not only entertaining it really lets you feel like for a brief moment in time your allowed in that ultra exclusive club that is superstardom. The only thing I can say negative is that it's very, this happened, then that happened. For instance, he talks about his relationship with Ione Skye and how she was this goddess and how he wouldn't be alive without her care and love. Then he goes on tour and you don't hear anything about her and he adds that he was having sex with groupies again because he and Ione broke-up. Almost like a footnote. He also talks about how he and John were great friends and then all of a sudden they weren't with no explanation of what happened or what he might have done wrong. I would seriously pick it up tho. Overall B

Summary of Scar Tissue

Now in paperback, the New York Times bestseller by one of rock's most provocative figures

Scar Tissue is Anthony Kiedis's searingly honest memoir of a life spent in the fast lane. In 1983, four self-described "knuckleheads" burst out of the mosh-pitted mosaic of the neo-punk rock scene in L.A. with their own unique brand of cosmic hardcore mayhem funk. Over twenty years later, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, against all 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 roller-coaster ride.

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. 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.
