Scar Tissue
Scar Tissue | Anthony Kiedis, Larry Sloman
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.

Again I finished my #TitlesAndTunes book before the month even started. But I just couldn‘t stop this reread of Anthony‘s autobiography. It‘s such an honest story about his self-destructive nature. The bigger the Chili Peppers get, the lonelier he becomes and the more he tries to escape in endless, repeating drug trips. I still think I could have saved him 😉, it‘s a miracle he‘s still alive. And kicking 🥰 #SexDrugsAndRockAndRoll

Whilst my friends were crushing on Timberlake, I was in love with Anthony Kiedis. His early 90s long hair 😍
A ROUGH memoir. His addictions started in his childhood & were encouraged by his drug dealing dad. It's a miracle that he's still alive. 😔
He came across as a womanising dick but I won't hold it against him, afterall my 90s Kiedis fantasies would make me a hypocrite.
AK is the perfect example of growth in a person. I'm glad he's OK now.

BarbaraBB I‘m still in love with him 😉 especially with his blond looks of the Californication time 🥰 10mo
jamield1911 @BarbaraBB it's the long hair for me 🥵🥵 well, anything apart from the moustache 🤣 10mo
BarbaraBB Yes that moustache is so so unattractive and he‘s been keeping it for years now. WHY???! 10mo

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 What a wild ride. Picked this up after finishing Flea‘s autobiography and really enjoyed it. There‘s a lot here—unusual childhood with his dad who sold drugs in Hollywood (Sonny Bono was his godfather?), entry into music, time with the Red Hit Chili Peppers, relationships, and lots of drug use, rehab, and relapses. A great pick if you like a rock biography!

BarbaraBB I am a big fan of Anthony and loved this biography but not as much as Flea‘s! 2y
fredthemoose @BarbaraBB I really enjoyed them both! I liked that Anthony‘s included life since the start of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and hope Flea writes a follow-up! 2y
BarbaraBB I am waiting eagerly for the sequel too! 2y

Couldn't put a more appropriate title on a book.
Whether you like this band, or even Anthony Kiedis, you should read his story. It will open your eyes to the celebrity world a lot more, while telling you about this guy's eye-opening journey through life. 5⭐

Okay @BarbaraBB - this is for you.

You wanted to know ALL the juicy details. Brace yourself.

I met Anthony Kiedis in 1993 at the Great Western Forum during a fundraiser that the Los Angeles Kings put on.

That's it. That's my story.

I have not read his book. Maybe I'll add it to my TBR. I hear it's pretty wild.

BarbaraBB Oh 😍😍😍 I love that photo and the story. To just run into him was my dream for years. I thought about ways to meet him, which only seemed possible when they toured Europe. I know he loves Amsterdam (where I live) and especially the tattoo shop where he got most of his tattoos so I used to hang out there when he was in town but I never met him, only saw him on stage. Lots of times. This was years ago! I wouldn‘t do that now. And yet I am jealous! 3y
BarbaraBB Thank you so much for sharing this picture! Did you actually talk with him? @Cinfhen did you see this?! 🥰🥰🥰 (edited) 3y

Cinfhen Agreed!!! I can‘t stand that mustache 😖 3y
BarbaraBB @jdiehr @Cinfhen Totally agree on the mustache. At first I thought it was a short time thing (like the blond hair, that I looooved) but after years and years I guess he doesn‘t want to be sexy anymore 😌🤷🏻‍♀️ 3y

Day 12: #3Books I‘ve reread

I‘m not much of a rereader but these are the exceptions:

▪️Scar Tissue: I keep coming back to this one. I‘ve such a ridiculous crush 🥰
▪️The Harry Potter series I‘ve read three times. Myself and with both my kids
▪️Out of Time is a Dutch book about dementia and it made me a reader. I was so moved, I had no idea a book could have that effect. Years later I reread it. It was as good as I remembered.

OriginalCyn620 👍🏻📚👍🏻 4y
Boooooks Same here for the Anthony Kiedis crush 😂 I‘m thinking of reading Fleas book as well to see how they compare 🤷🏻‍♀️ 4y
BarbaraBB @Boooooks I read Flea‘s too and to be honest I think that one is better (although it ends when the RHCP start up) but this is Anthony ❤️❤️🌶 4y
BarbaraBB @Boooooks And I‘m happy you‘re having that crush too 😃 although I liked him better without the mustache 🤦🏻‍♀️ 4y

Summary: Anthony Kiedis describes his chaotic but beautiful and artful life from the time he lived in his hometown of Michigan all the way to the early 2000s. He gives an insight to his mind and his practices, and tells all about his struggles and successes. His life is one that is lived spontaneously and lovingly.

I just found out John Frusciante is rejoining the RHCP!! For any other die hard Chili Peppers fans we know how exciting this is! So with that being said I'm putting away the book I just started to reread one of my favorites. ❤

Cortg I really need to read this. My sister read it several years ago at the beach and loved it. She had a major book hangover after finishing and it's on her top books of all times. 4y

How did you choose this book : I have never read an autobiography before, and I am a fan of Anthony Kiedis.
Who was the protagonist; what was his/her problem and how was the problem resolved ?

Only at the halfway point and I‘m seriously wondering how he is still alive never mind managing to become a hugely successful musician

arlenefinnigan I've heard this is a great read, how are you finding it? 4y
Boooooks @arlenefinnigan I‘m enjoying it although it is quite repetitive with the drug binges and the same things happening again and again but it‘s interesting so far. I am hoping that he‘ll go into his relationship with Flea a bit more though because he barely talks about him in depth which seems odd considering that besides him he‘s the most present member of the band. 4y
arlenefinnigan @Boooooks yeah they always seemed really close. Interesting. 4y
BarbaraBB That was my one disappointment too, that he writes so little about their friendship. Let‘s see what Flea has to say about it in 4y

Well, the good news is, I still love the Chili Peppers music after reading this 😀. And I really enjoyed this book. Kiedis doesn‘t hold back and the insights he shares about his addictions are truly horrific. He comes across pretty selfish and immature and a carbon copy of his father. But, I guess that is the way he was raised and the industry/world he lives in is just like that. I didn‘t find myself disliking him though. Interesting character.

Just starting to read this very battered library copy of a book I have put off reading for years. I love the music of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. I‘m always a bit hesitant to read biographies of artists. I‘m scared it will colour my view of the music I love. Let‘s see what happens with this one.

Audiobook--narrator a bit annoying, volume inconsistencies left me straining to hear one minute and bleeding from the ears the next. Also you could hear him shuffling papers.. The concept of addiction is hard to fathom as a non-addict but you dive into his world and immerse yourself in it. You cheer for him when he goes to rehab and fret at each relapse. Not for the delicate but good for fans of the band.

Not all that book related but these are the matching Red Hot Chili Pepper tattoos my brother and I got together about a month ago. We went with a pepper rocking a Kiedis mustache. (His looked angry because he went all white and the artist went super deep with the ink) @Cinfhen @echalpan @TrishB @BarbaraBB

BarbaraBB So cool 🌶! As I said I‘d love to have their logo on the inside of my wrist. Or some lyrics... ❤️. Thanks for showing!!! 5y
julesG So cool! For a second I thought your brother's a branding. I wish I could find an artist to do a white (and watercolour) tattoo on me, but it's hard here in Germany. They don't want to work with white ink as the main colour. 5y
JoScho @julesG thanks! Some artists don‘t like to do white here as well because they don‘t last as long but this guy was cool. It did look a lot like a branding for a few days after. 5y

#WanderingJune My all time favorite band RHCP 🌶🖤🤘🏼💋 Anthony Kiedis is the embodiment of sex, drugs and rock and roll 🎤🎸❣️His memoir was a wild ride although it was written early 2000 so I felt like a lot of ground was not covered. Still cool to learn how this group came together in the late 70‘s/ early 80‘s while still in HS. Check out their carpool karaoke ~ it‘s hilarious and listen to some #Californication https://youtu.be/cfudXO_vzWk

Sex, drugs & rock n roll... and then MORE sex & MORE & MORE drugs pretty much sums up this memoir. I found it rather sad that AK grew up in such a tumultuous environment. Large parts of this memoir were infuriating as he seems to only equate women as sexual objects. Published in 2004 (😟) so lots of new material is not covered. A pick but only for RHCP fans. #NonFiction2019 #Booked2019 #Pop19

My brother and I went to see RHCP twice last year on “The Getaway” tour, including a weekend flight to Cleveland. He gave me this book for my birthday last year. #music #riotgrams

So I have to be honest-I don‘t own many books anymore (my classroom library is a different situation entirely 😂). I read mostly on my Kindle and get library books regularly. There are several places in my house with a few books like this. Most of these were gifts and have sentimental value for me. There is even a Nook in the mix. I am jealous of all of your beautiful shelves filled with books! #riotgrams #shelfie

thebluestocking I admire this minimalism!! 6y
JoScho @thebluestocking Thanks! It is a work in progress! There are plenty of places in my house with much more clutter! 6y
Nute I like having books, but I like having unoccupied space also.😔 6y

JoScho @Nute it took me a long time to get to this stage. I have been hoarding books my entire life-I think I had every Fear Street book R.L. Stine wrote when I was a kid! I did book subscription services and loved a good clearance table in a book store. But I also love spending an afternoon in the library and coming out with a tote full of books. 6y
JaclynW Lovely shelf! 6y
JoScho @JaclynW thank you 😊 6y
thebluestocking It‘s a work in progress at my house too. The books are the hardest part. 6y

Has anybody read this? Found it on my brother's dresser (didn't even know he read, but I guess having only one book doesn't make you much of a reader either though lol) and wondered if it's good enough to steal it from him for a little bit ☺️ from reading the back, it does sound pretty interesting at least

josie281 It was ok. Not the worst musical autobio I have read. 7y
InBooksILive Hmm.. okay. I may read a bit and see how it goes. Thanks! 7y

Someone on Litsy mentioned their husband read this and liked it so I thought I'd give it a shot. I really enjoyed it. We learn about Anthony's upbringing, his intro into sex and drugs, and how RHCP came to be. Anthony has always struggled with drugs and it's really surprising that he is still alive. Very interesting read.

The RHCP is my favorite band since I was 16 . Their music is part of my life , a necessity for me just like air water and food . That had been said , I didn't feel excited reading Anthony's book and I wish if he had written more of an upscale memoir about his musicianship and the greatness of the Peppers as a band beside the other stable stories of sex and drugs . But never the less I still appreciate him and respect him as musician .

I don't 'bail' on books. It's not in my nature. But I'm just not in the right frame of mind to put up with Anthony's poor choice. From a music history perspective, this book has great potential. As an entertaining read, abort.

'Sir Psycho Sexy, that is me'.

You definitely are! I guess I can combine four days in one post. All I can think of when reading #myhero, #youdrivemecrazy, #californialove and #scartissue is Anthony Kiedis! Ever since the 90s I have thought he's the sexiest man alive (especially when younger, like all of us 😉), and I love his music too. #90sinjuly

@robothugs @cinfhen

Cinfhen He is definitely one sexy guy! And such a talented singer songwriter ❤️❤️❤️great pick 🙌🏻 7y

Haven't fit hardly any reading in lately because I've been following my favorite band around and worshiping at their altar. Totally worth it! 😍🤘🌶
