false 96647 10 Now in paperback, the New York Times bestseller by one of rocks most provocative figures Scar Tissue is Anthony Kiediss 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 groups lyricist and dynamic lead singer, has been there for the whole roller-coaster ride. Whether hes 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 redemptiona story that could only have come out of the world of rock. 908343 book 2004 Scar Tissue total:1946|5:674|4:699|3:425|2:121|1:27| 1946 7710 2727 411 5 2 false false Sat Apr 26 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Mar 15 11:53:55 -0700 2008 Tue Nov 03 09:27:38 -0800 2009 more...]]> 0 5 false false Sat Aug 16 08:37:40 -0700 2008 Sat Aug 16 08:38:21 -0700 2008 5 3 false false Wed Oct 22 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Sep 23 02:31:25 -0700 2008 Wed Oct 22 22:48:19 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 2 false false Sat Apr 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Sun Jul 27 23:43:21 -0700 2008 Sun Jul 27 23:44:25 -0700 2008 ...more...]]> 1 2 false false Tue May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sun Jan 27 17:00:25 -0800 2008 Sun Jan 27 17:11:36 -0800 2008 more...]]> 3 2 true false Sun Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sun Aug 05 18:32:19 -0700 2007 Sun Aug 05 18:56:27 -0700 2007
