Book Description

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.

5 out of 5 stars Scar Tissue.......2007-09-06

Exactly what I was looking for, good book, good price, and took 5 days to ship as opposed to the 1 month it promised.

5 out of 5 stars Brutally Honest.......2007-08-29

This is a fantastic read, and is very well written. Some very cool photos and lyrics are included. I spent the extra money to buy a hardcover version which is a good choice. The drug addiction and honesty that Anthony brings to that disease is worth the read alone. It is awesome he has found a way to deal with his addiction and keep writing and performing at an exceptional level.

5 out of 5 stars truly inspirational book!.......2007-08-13

i was amased by this great reading. anthony isnt only an extraordinary performer but a very good writer. the moment i started reading it, i didn't let it out of my hands. fan or not of RHCP, you'll find this book entertaining.

5 out of 5 stars Drugs, Women, Music and Drugs.......2007-07-25

For those who think they know the Chili Pepper story, or those that are new fans and are unaware of the beligerent lifestyle of the Chili's up unitl this decade, this book clears it all up. Discussed in a narrative voice, all the events and feelings are dictated by Anthony Kiedis and provide a real world connection to these superstars. His individual story as well as the group as a whole is shared in a way that makes them seem so human and makes anyone wonder, "how are these guys still alive, sane, and still making beautiful, boandary pushing music together?"

5 out of 5 stars Never a dull moment!.......2007-07-15

All I can say is that I wanted to have a book to read over the course of about half of the summer and instead I read it in just a couple of days! It's heartfelt & candid. And its written through the voice of Anthony Kiedis rather than someone taking his thoughts and trying to put them in some dull, refined, intellectual way. Anyway, now I have to find something to read that won't bore me after reading this great book!

Book Description

Red Hot Chili Peppers front man Anthony Kiedis grew up in Hollywood, hustling a living with his actor father. He eventually discovered music and fell in with Hillel Slovak, Jack Irons, and Michael “Flea” Balzary to form the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Fired up by 1970s funk, rock, ska, and soul, the band fought, split, kissed, made up, and then fought again. This collision of singular personalities and musical genius resulted in a run of albums and reputation as a formidable live act. By the end of the 1980s, though, the band was one man down, with lead guitarist Hillel Slovak dying from a drug overdose. The struggle gave rise to 1989’s groundbreaking Mother’s Milk album. Pre-dating Nirvana, the Red Hot Chili Peppers was the first underground band to take what critics dubbed “alternative rock” into the mainstream charts. In 1991, Blood Sugar Sex Magik compounded the Chili Peppers’ success, turning its members into bona fide rock stars and plunging them headlong into a riot of drugs, sex, near-death experiences, and spiritual awakening. This book looks at the group through dozens of photographs, and examines the music and stories of one of the most original bands on the planet.

3 out of 5 stars Song Stories Anyone??.......2007-06-11

When I first got this book I was so excited to finally learn the meanings behind those amazing RHCP songs.But the book doesn't really say much about the songs that fans don't already know. So if you are looking into buying this book, I'd say you should go for it. The pictures are definitely worth it, even if the words aren't. (And yes whoever edited this book did a terrible job, because they did mis-label some of the pictures.) But other than that, any RHCP fan would enjoy this book.

2 out of 5 stars Not really "giving it away"..........2007-01-13

Well when I first bought the book, I expected to find out the reasons WHY the songs were written rather than the "intense bass lines".. The title is very misleading and was not was I was anticipating...

P.S.- I did enjoy the pictures even though some of the captions were wrong

5 out of 5 stars A great book.......2006-07-02

Give it away is a perfect book for any fan looking to learn another detail about the chili peppers. I bought it for a gift for a true chili peppers fan and they loved it. It gives short blogs about each song and is really interesting. I suggest buying it since it not really expensive.

1 out of 5 stars A poor shoddy excuse for a book........2005-11-27

The book should be "commentary about every song" rather than "stories behind every song". The only thing worse than the "stories" behind the songs is the fact that most of the pictures have the wrong attribution (they keep referring to Cliff Martinez as Jack Irons, and one picture says "Founders - Kiedis, Flea, Slovak, Irons" yet clearly has Chad Smith and Frusciante). The only thing good about this book are the handful of great pictures.

3 out of 5 stars Not quite what I expected............2004-07-01

I realize that the RHCP didn't write this book, but I thought there might be a bit more personal insight regarding the who, what, when, where, and why the songs were written. The book's content consists primarily of magazine articles written about the RHCP over the years, followed by the author's own interpretations of the songs and HIS opinion of their quality.
It is well put together, and there are some great pictures, but I'm glad I didn't pay full price!

Book Description

Rocker/knitter/author: Share Ross personifies the indie spirit driving both knitting and music today

Share Ross is addicted to the needle—the knitting needle. A few years back, this punk guitarist and singer wouldn't have given knitting a second thought. She is a dyed-in-the-wool rocker, and knitting . . . well, knitting was for grannies. Then a friend showed up at her house wearing a scarf that she found totally amazing. When Ross asked her where she'd gotten it, she said she'd knit it herself. Ross was hooked.

With Punk Knits, Ross shares her passion and unorthodox approach to the ancient craft she's so grateful our grannies preserved. All of the 26 designs—beginner- to intermediate--level projects that include arm- and leg-warmers, scarves, miniskirts, hats, and sweaters—draw their inspiration from the style and independent spirit of rock 'n' roll legends like Sid Vicious, Debbie Harry, Patti Smith, and the New York Dolls, and they're all modeled by pierced and tattooed Hollywood rock 'n' rollers and scenesters.

If you think knitting can't be punk, consider this from Ross: “Knitting can be as artistic as you want. You can make a statement. And by knitting garments instead of buying them, you can snub the corporations that strip away your individuality.” So what's not punk about knitting?

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Wild Knitting.......2007-08-25

A bit risque, a lot of attitude. I was glad to see this book was more about the patterns than knitting101. However the instructions that were given, were helpful for the particular style "markers" - the deconstruction, or look of imperfection if you will. The pictures showed the garment as is (although some of the models had that "deer-in-the-headlights look!).
I think that the philosophy of knitting presented is as important as the patterns in this case. "Down with the estblishment!" Go Punks! Go Knit!

1 out of 5 stars Poser Knits!.......2007-07-12

I wondered what about this book bothered me and seemed so inauthentic... The projects, the photography, the layout, all seem sort of lame, like the book is trying to be something it's not. Then I noticed that the author used to be in Vixen! I don't see the connection between Vixen and punk at all, but at least this explains why the book seems so fake. If you're a punk crafter, you've been warned!

2 out of 5 stars Not a fan........2007-06-28

For some reason, I didn't like this book. The instructions lacked clarity, especially with finishing the garments. Most of the designs feature dropped stitches or weirdly placed holes. A lot of the designs are simple rectangles sewn together. However, one pattern makes the book worthwhile: the pixie shoulderette, featuring a crisscrossed back. The book does a good job of explaining this technique. Throughout the book I just felt like they were overdoing the whole "punk thing, especially when including the myspace pages to all of the models.

3 out of 5 stars Good format, patterns not for me........2007-06-22

I liked the format of this book, spiral bound with paper cover so it will lie flat. Good photos of each project and directions seemed clear. The patterns all do have a punk style which is not quite my taste. But for others that like that style it looks like a pretty good book

5 out of 5 stars Finally!.......2007-06-11

I love punk culture and knitting! I am always on the lookout for ideas and patterns that combine the two and I am lucky and every now and again to find a pattern or two that could work. To find a book that has some innovative ideas and patterns that are dedicated to punk/goth culture is a gemstone. A must have for the punk/goth knitter's crafting library.

Book Description

This first-of-its-kind publication allows you to hear John Frusciante's guitar tracks and Flea's bass tracks like never before! According to the All Music Guide, "The string instruments are the reason to listen to Stadium Arcadium ... they push and pull, rave and rumble, lie back and rock out." The CDs isolate the guitar and bass tracks from the original recording, so you can listen as you learn from the music in the book. This special edition is the brainchild of John Frusciante, and he personally approved all parts of it. All 28 songs are included from this groundbreaking two-disc release, the Peppers' first album to debut at #1 on the Billboard charts. Songs include: Dani California * Hard to Concentrate * If * Snow (Hey Oh) * Stadium Arcadium * Tell Me Baby * Wet Sand * and more. 2007 Grammy Winner for Best Rock Album, Best Rock Song, Best Rock Performance!

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Rock Out With Your Sock Out.......2007-04-27

First of all, I must say, I really enjoyed this album. I don't normally use the words "dude" or "money", but dude, the Jupiter disc is *money*. The Mars disc was good too, but I think every song on the aforementioned disc was a hit, thus making them the ones I wanted most to learn to play.

All recordings feature the guitar and bass with no drums or vocals. This makes picking up the guitar parts considerably easier. All effects used are mentioned in the tab, and the tabs themselves seem very accurate when reading them and listening to the disc.

I think Frusciante's style of playing is interesting, and a good study for any guitarist. It's refereshing to hear a guy who is talented and really makes good arrangements, but isn't shredding and wanking all over the place. He also doesn't just whack on the same power chords all day long like every other modern rock band.

Furthermore, the band as a whole definitely remains fresh and valuable in a world where, I'm sad to say, rock is starting to suck really bad. RHCP makes me want to pick up my guitar, jam out, and be a better musician.

Fallout Boy does not.

5 out of 5 stars It's worth having !!!.......2007-04-11

Don't think twice before you get this. I'll be able to listen to all the tracks with guitar / bass isolated. They even mention the effects on the tabs.
Gotta have it.

4 out of 5 stars rhcp tab/note book.......2007-03-17

This book is very good because it is accurate and complete. I bought this one with the guitar recorded versions. That was a really good choice because I like them better than the actual CDs. To hear Frusciante and Flee together without the vocals brings this album alive. If you get the book defiantly get the one with the CDs.

5 out of 5 stars One of the best songbooks ever..........2007-03-16

This is a fantastic concept, executed nearly perfectly. Not only are the guitar tabs spot-on accurate (at least as I can tell), but the isolated guitar/bass CD tracks are very revealing. I don't even count myself as a Chili Pepper fanatic. However, Frusciante is easily one of my favorite contemporary guitarists. Stadium Arcadium may not be the Chilis' best record, but it demonstrates nearly every style and technique that Frusciante is known for. When you break down the guitar parts, it's surprising how simple his style is, though Frusciante is a master of layered guitar tracks (which the included CD's really help demonstrate). I can't play many of the riffs and leads as fast as the recorded versions, but they make terrific exercises and ideas for scale and lead practice. The CD's themselves are even a worthwhile listen if you're interested in recording and mixing. If you're a guitar-playin' Chili Pepper nut, this is a no-brainer of comsmic dimensions.

Please note: there is a separate bass book avaiable, and both of the books are available without the CD's. However, if you're ordering from Amazon, you'll get an awesome price for the CD edition, and I highly recommend it.

5 out of 5 stars NO WORDS..........2007-03-08

This book is all we, really Red Hot Chili Peppers and John Frusciante's fans, needed.

It comes with the exact tabs of what John plays and with the Guitar ORIGINAL recorded version of each track.

Then you can listen while read the music in the book.

FASTASTIC. I'll give 6 stars for this review, but only 5 is avaible. so... 5 STARTS.

5 out of 5 stars A MUST HAVE.......2007-05-19

This book is an amazing resource for any record collector, dj or fan of the eighties. A vast wealth of imformation. The charts are easy to read and the hardbound cover makes it very long lasting.

4 out of 5 stars How the eighties is documented in music.......2007-03-28

As one who grew up listening to the music in the eighties, this book was the first in the series that I bought. The book itself contains not more than reproductions of weekly billboard HOT 100 charts from the first week of 1980 to the last of 1989. What makes the book interesting to me is that it brought back the good memories of the decade when I listened to practically each song ever made it to the chart, collected the records and stay tuned to the radio for weekly charts.
This book is probably enjoyable only for those who went through the decade in music.

5 out of 5 stars 80's Child.......2007-01-12

For those of you who grew up in the eighties and loved the music, this book covering the chart history of eighties music in America should be on your book shelf or on your coffee table. I was amazed at which songs didn't quite make the top 40, just shows how different music tastes are.

If you are made about music buy this book!!!

5 out of 5 stars Great buy..worth the money !.......2007-01-09

Excellent book !! If you love 80's music, this is a must have. It has everything you can imagine. I bought it for my husband for christmas for his radio show and uses it almost daily !!

5 out of 5 stars Expensive, but comprehensive.......2006-01-01

By the time the 80's rolled around, my Top 40 days had rolled elsewhere, but I still found the charts impossible to completely escape. I was still fascinated by the songs that may have recieved extensive airplay on non-Top 40 stations, but only managed to battle their way into the mid to lower reaches of the charts. Joel Whitburn's chart history books are a goldmine for anyone in my situation and also for anyone who just enjoys the trivialities of the music industry. The reason you don't often see these used is that those who buy them, keep them. Highly recommended.

4 out of 5 stars Flea has huge hands...or mine are too small..........2007-03-25

Every song is played straight through at normal speed and you can clearly hear every note. The tabs are great,but actualy reading the notation feels a lot easier to read. The only thing i would change is have single lick tracks or slowed down versions of songs along with the full length at speed tracks. this album isnt for beginners at all, but its not completly impossible.

5 out of 5 stars Stadium Arcadium Bass Sheet Music.......2007-03-16

This is a great book! I've been playing bass for 3 years now and this is a really fun way to spend my free time. The cds are also a great addition; they really help out a lot if Flea's bass licks throw you for a loop. It's also just fun to play along with the CD's because they threw John in also. Also, if you can't read music, don't worry. Personally I'm a fan of reading actual music for many reasons, but if you haven't crossed that bridge in your bass playing career every song has tabs. This book is the ultimate hook up for any Red Hot Chili Pepper addicted Flea-loving bass fanatics! It rocks!

5 out of 5 stars Great buy!.......2007-01-28

This is truly a great buy for any fan of Flea and the RHCP!

The book is well done and help me improve my playing quickly. Lot of fun!

I don't have nothing bad to say about it!

A must have for any bassist who loves Stadium Arcadium as much as he should!

5 out of 5 stars Stadium Arcadium Bass Tab - you should get this!.......2007-01-15

As a medium ability player i found this book more of a challenge than some of the other RHCP publications over the years. However as I wanted a challenge this book has been 100% brilliant to me! Once you get going on Dani California the world is a happier place all round! Top album, top book - can't recommend it highly enough.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent even for those not familiar with Nick Hoffman........2007-09-24

I had never read any Nick Hoffman story - nor anything, in fact, by Mr. Raphael - so it was with some apprehension that I picked up Hot Rocks. My fears were quickly put to rest: it's a welcoming introduction to the series for anyone, irrespective of their familiarity with Hoffman, Raphael, the State University of Michigan, Michigan Muscle or any of the other wickedly satirical devices Raphael uses. It's terribly funny and the mystery itself holds together and keeps your attention throughout. I plan on reading more by Raphael based on my enjoyment of this book.

5 out of 5 stars Hot ,"Hot Rocks".......2007-06-29

Raphael, Lev. "Hot Rocks: A Nick Hoffman Mystery", Perseverance Press, 2007.

Hot, "Hot Rocks"

Amos Lassen and Literary Pride

The Nick Hoffman series has always had social observations and "Hot Rocks" is no different. This time the venue is a health club for the wealthy and the observations are wittier and funnier than ever. The seventh in the series, Lev Raphael does not disappoint a bit--in fact he outdoes the others. The club is brimming with those obsessed with toning their bodies and what an ideal setting for a murder.
If any of you belong to a health club, you are familiar with the types there as well as the aura that pervades, The personalities run the gamut and what a wonderful setting for a crime like murder. We know that health clubs foster jealousy and envy which can become rage quite easily. Raphael is, of course, aware that not everyone is into fitness so he gives us descriptions that are explicit.
Nick Hoffman a SUM professor, like myself, is an academic. Perhaps that is why I enjoy reading his adventures when he acts as a detective.
After the murder has been committed, the list of suspects includes trainers, wives whose bodies need work, club members who are possessed of arrogance and other wealthy characters. None of these are what they appear. Nick does not act alone. He has a fellow detective, Juno Dromgoole. Together they are quite a team--especially when they banter and show how ambivalently they feel for each other.
Nick has just returned from a Caribbean vacation and he knows he has to get back in shape afterwards. He goes, with his partner Stefan to Michigan Muscle but his workout routine suddenly is interrupted when he finds a dead body in the steam room.
What a perfect book to read at the beach. Raphael looks at the culture of the health club as well as American society using Nick Hoffman to satirize the rich. Stylishly written, you will be taken on a series of twists and turns through the world in which we live and you will be turning pages quickly. The writing is clear and probably some of the best that Raphael has done. Nick and Juno manage to get a good look at the life of the wealthy and as they do so, secrets are no longer secret and deceptions cease to deceive. Nick also has to deal with his own secrets and those of his partner who has a complicated past. The book is not just a story but a puzzle that the reader has to solve. Peppered with human characters that are identifiable as people we know, "Hot Rocks" is a fun romp. It isn't just a story, it's a trip. Nick is our driver and quickly becomes a friend who gives a social commentary which is honest and real. As excitement increases and we near a climax and think we have everything figured out, things change and the ride gains speed. I was somewhat sad t close the covers of the book because it meant I would be saying goodbye to friends I had made. But knowing that Raphael is a writer who just doesn't quit, I also know that I will be with Nick again in the eighth of the series.

5 out of 5 stars His Best Yet!.......2007-06-02

The social observations in this series have always been a hilarious mix of the thoughtful and witty, but Raphael's seventh mystery outdoes the rest as it charts delightful new territory: the luxury health club. Filled with the fitness-obsessed, it's an ideal setting for murder, and Raphael does a deft job of limning all the different personalities and motives that one finds in this super-charged environment rife with envy, jealousy, and murderous rage. But you don't have to ever have done even one push-up to enjoy the details, the insights, the luscious character descriptions, and Raphael's expertise as a mystery writer. I'd consider this the best-plotted mystery of the series since The Edith Wharton Murders, which I remember as having received rave reviews all over, including from the New York Times, and rightly so. This one, appropriately enough, is much leaner. You always hope that the books in a series will get better, and here you will not be disappointed.

4 out of 5 stars Hot Rocks rocks!.......2007-06-01

This book is a page turner! If you have spent any time at all in a health club, you will easily identify these "gym" types and the unique atmosphere that a health club/gym creates. I found the book to be very creative, amusing, and a twist as the mystery is solved makes it all the more enjoyable.

5 out of 5 stars I've read all his Nick Hoffman mysteries...........2007-05-25

...and usually think they're each a good, solid, 4 star.

His new one, Hot Rocks, is the best in terms of writing. Don't know what the slight difference is between this one and his previous books, but it's something.

I also enjoy his comments on the Salon website. Always to-the-point.

Anyway, enjoy his latest novel.

    4 out of 5 stars The best decade in music.......2007-03-28

    The seventies hold many good memories for those who grew up listening to the music in the decade. The book represents the development in the music industry in form of this weekly chart documentation. From the charts, the history of music during the era is well represented. The book reminds me of the days of classic pop, the birth of rock legends to the emergence of disco.

    5 out of 5 stars Recommended for chart buffs everywhere.......2007-01-08

    Starting in the early 90's,Record Research began publishing books,which featured complete reproductions of the vintage "Hot 100" charts-I've got all of the books-Without a doubt,the 70's was certainly a decade of diversity-It was around that time that I became a regular listener to "American Top 40",which initially used the Billboard charts as their primary source-I'm glad I'm able to relive those old memories once again.

    4 out of 5 stars Timeless Treasure - Reproduction quality spotty.......2006-04-12

    There are certain things that help to color the events of your life, and for me, music has always been a key ingredient to evoking memories of my childhood.

    So, it is with great satisfaction and glee that I can thumb through the pages of this book and let my mind drift back to so many images and feelings that were framed by the music that was popular at the time. Plus, I have always been a fanatic of the charts, so much so, that I subscribed to Billboard for a time in the mid 1970s, and paid for it from my meager paper route earnings.

    Beyond the mere duplication of the charts, I can find nuggets like the fact, that for a 13 week span in early 1978, the Bee Gees composed and/or performed the top 2 songs. Or, that the "You Ain't Seen Nothin Yet" by BTO raced to #1, dropped to #34 2 weeks later, and then strangely, jumped back into the Top 10 for 2 weeks, before slowly descending down the Hot 100.

    If you enjoy the music of the 70's, have a strange affliction for tracking the progress of songs, and can get past the sometimes grainy black and white reproduction of the charts, then this book will fit into your chest of book treasures.

    This is my 4th Billboard related book, all by Joel Whitburn. There is no intrinsically redeeming value from combing the charts of 30 plus years ago, and yet it has a permanence that speaks to an era when music was maybe a little less confusing, in that if your song was played enough on the radio stations of America, you could get on Billboard and maybe have a career.

    For some, it may have happened just once, but instead of guessing as to what was popular, I now have a piece of music history, from a period that was formative time in my life.



    5 out of 5 stars This one made just what I was searching for.......2005-09-03

    It has been a long time since i was looking for several charts of the decade to start my personal inquiries. Somehow this book laid in front of my eyes and i couldn't escape it. Though it is not in color is quite enough just to see the hits go up and down. Why is this book important??... i'll tell: the seventies were a reflective decade, a time between the outcomes of the long-night-disturbed sixties and the up-going road of what eventually became the sunny but excesive eighties. This book reflects the aspirations of America at that time as also shows the quest for spirituality (see some themes from the 1971 charts) the odes to a lost love (see the singer-songwriters of early seventies)to the feeling of struggle and celebration partying all night (see the disco era of the late seventies). Important book: changes in society, time to brake away, start something new, touch the skies again.

    4 out of 5 stars What you see is what you get........2005-08-07

    The book is straightforward. Every single Hot 100 weekly chart for 10 years. I just wish the type was a little bigger. It would be even better if the charts themselves were reproduced in color the way it looked back then. Still, a very good book
