About this listen

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. Kiedis defies the rock star clichés, revealing that everything he has done has been part of a passionate journey--even his descent into drug addiction, which he transformed into art. Scar Tissue is a fascinating and moving account of a fast-lane life, addiction, and eventual recovery and redemption.

he's a great guy, much of what he says is really interesting, important and sometimes cute. but he's a raging womaniser. major hypocrisy in the way he judges females and several boke bucket loads of gross sex with school girls and so on.

great but heavily sexist.

Not a big fan of the reader's voice, also there were some differences from the book to audio. however, it was a great autobiography and gripping story.

An entertaining read

I’ve just noticed a weird whirring noise in the background 6 chapters in. I now can’t finish listening because it’s so annoying. The story and narrator itself is fantastic but sound quality on an audiobook makes or breaks it

Loved the book from start to finish. It takes you into the very highs and lows of addiction and life in the spotlight. I highly recommend this book.
