So, when I was browsing through the isles of Barnes and Noble and stumbled upon a book by the lead singer Anthony Kiedis, I was immediately intrigued. I’ve been singing their classic songs since before I could even read a sentence properly. One band, however, that had always stood out to me as the most interesting, the most talented and the best was the Red Hot Chili Peppers. This means any music I heard growing up, other than my Hannah Montana soundtrack, was The Eagles, Led Zeppelin and countless other classic rock bands. 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.My dad lives and breaths rock n’ roll so, naturally, he wanted to bring up his children with an appreciation for that genre. 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. 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.

In 1983, four self-described "knuckleheads" burst out of the mosh-pitted mosaic of the neo-punk rock scene in L.A.
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.
