À propos de cet audio

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.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers are that rare breed of rock band: critically lauded and popularly embraced by millions of fans, their albums consistently sell into the stratosphere—their CD Californication sold over 13 million copies alone.

Now, in Scar Tissue, Anthony Kiedis defies the rock star clichés. In his telling, we can see everything he has done has been part of a passionate journey. Kiedis is a man "in love with everything"—the darkness, the death, the disease. Even his descent into drug addiction was a part of that journey; another element that he has transformed into art. Scar Tissue is a fascinating account of a fast-lane life, addiction, and a moving story of eventual recovery and redemption.

Heart felt and painful

Not ever having had an addiction to drugs or alcohol , it’s difficult to comprehend the mind of someone who is. But this whirlwind tour of a “groundhog day” life and times of a rockstar brought tears and feelings of sympathy to me. I hope it has the same effect on others that may have been quick to judge the addict on the corner, or in the alley.. life is hard.
Thanks for sharing

How long will i slide

This book is tough. It is honest and true to its author, and that means that it is self-indulgent, exaggerated, misogynist, and lacks much in the way of empathy or introspection at least until the end. Much more of the book is about drug addiction and sex than it is about music--although there is some of that in there.

In the end, though, it is an unflinchingly honest account of a wild and unique life, and for that reason, it is a fairly unique book and a worthy read. Toward the end of the book Anthony dwells on his newfound sobriety and seems to come to understand that to be well, we have to have a purpose, we have to make a connection with and help others. Fame, fortune, sex none of this replaced the need to connect with other people and help them for purely unselfish reasons. That alone is the key to sobriety, and that alone is the great message of this book.

“The minute you get out of your self-centered mind-set, you’re instantly freed of your own pain. The trick to staying sober is to constantly be of service to another alcoholic.”

“In the song “Otherside” on Californication, I wrote, “How long, how long will I slide/Separate my side/I don’t, I don’t believe it’s bad.” I don’t believe that drug addiction is inherently bad. It’s a really dark and heavy and destructive experience, but would I trade my experience for that of a normal person? Hell no.... because now that I’ve had them, and now that I’m almost four years sober, I’m in a position to be of service to hundreds of other suffering people."

what a life!

Fascinating life that made me wonder how could he ever remember it all?
I'm not a crazy Red Hot Chilli Peppers fan but they are definitely in the soundtrack of my life. I used to sing under the bridge to my baby brother in 1992 so hearing about why he wrote was intriguing. I recommend this book to anyone that grew up with the chilli peppers, anyone that struggles with addiction and to anyone that likes colourful autobiographies.

Excellent story, well read.

I may be biased as I’m a huge chili’s fan, but I absolutely loved hearing about the history behind some of AK’s lyrics as well as how well the band was able to persevere through what seemed like impossible odds at times. Highly recommend.

very important. read it twice.

read this as a lost teenager, revisited it as an adult battling with his own self destructive tendencies.

perfect book to bring clarity. no matter what you're going through we all have similar scar tissue even if the blades making the cuts are different.

Scar Tissue

I love this book and his story. I’ve read the book a couple of times and this time I listened to it for my book club. (Great book for discussions!)

I had a very hard time listening to Rider Strong narrate😬

Would still recommend though!
