5.0 out of 5 stars Read this book, 7 April 2006
By Mr. Paul R. Chapman (St. Peter Port, Guernsey United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Scar Tissue is a cracking read. How Mr. Kiedis is still alive is a miracle. The huge amount of drugs, the accidents (bad accidents), the women, the band, the highs and lows are all honestly recounted in this oustanding autobiography.

A.K. gives an insight into the mind and behaviour of an addict with refreshing honesty; there's no preaching here. He recounts his childhood and writes much about the Chili Peppers themselves, detailing their ups and downs (there's a lot of both), their creative processes and the meaning behind some of their songs.

Whether you're a fan of the Chili Peppers or not, this is a great autobiography and I thoroughly recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars A cut above, 19 Oct 2006
By L. Howlett (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A totally convincing and gripping account of the highs and lows of stardom. Although written chronologically this is more than another diary of a rock and roll band. Kiedis comes across at times as a man who has everything and nothing and his battle with drug addiction which flows through the pages from start to finish is both moving and horrifying. For RHCP fans it's good read, but for anyone who's been touched by addiction - in any form - this is essential.

4.0 out of 5 stars SUPERB.., 25 Jul 2006
By K. Anderson Green (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As a massive fan of the Chili Peppers i immediately wanted to read this book, i knew Anthony had battled with drugs and was a pretty spiritual person but i really had no idea to what extent his drug habit went to and the journeys the guy has been on to escape it all.. in no way does he glorify his drug abuse but gives a clear and vivid, often harrowing insight into his world and how he battled his demons.. a must read for any fans.
