Anthony Kiedis

Scar Tissue è l'autobiografia onesta e appassionata di Anthony Kiedis, autore dei testi e voce dei Red Hot Chili Peppers, una delle rockband di maggior successo al mondo. È il racconto di un'esistenza intensa. A volte, forse, persino troppo intensa. Cresciuto nel Midwest, a undici anni inizia una vita totalmente sballata nel sottobosco underground di Los Angeles. Fino a quando incontra la musica e per la prima volta la sua vita acquista un senso. Insieme a tre compagni di scuola fonda i Red Hot Chili Peppers, l'ultima vera rivoluzione sulla scena rock americana, l'unico gruppo capace di influenzare una intera generazione di musicisti venuti dopo di loro. Ma c'è un prezzo da pagare sia per il successo sia per l'eccesso. E così Kiedis ci racconta anche la morte per overdose dell'amico Hillel Slovak e la sua personale lotta contro la tossicodipendenza..

This digital box set contains Red Chili Peppers' Blood Sugar Sex Magik (1991), One Hot Minute (1995), Californication (1999), By the Way (2002), Stadium Arcadium (2006), I'm with You (2011). There's too many smash-hits to count and is well worth the while.

The Uplift Mofo Party Plan is the third studio album by American rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers, released on September 29, 1987 on EMI Records. Due to prior obligations resulting in temporary personnel changes following the band's formation in 1983, The Uplift Mofo Party Plan is the only studio album to feature all four founding members of the band on every single track: vocalist Anthony Kiedis, bassist Flea, guitarist Hillel Slovak, and drummer Jack Irons. The record features the band's signature funk rock musical style, but also draws influences from reggae and heavy metal.

Blowback is the 2001 fifth studio album by Tricky. It features more accessible, popular song structures than his previous records. Tricky later said he "did Blowback for the money basically 'cause I was broke". Guest performers on the album included Flea, Anthony Kiedis, Josh Klinghoffer, and John Frusciante from Red Hot Chili Peppers, Cyndi Lauper, Alanis Morissette, Ed Kowalczyk, and less known artists such as Hawkman, Stephanie McKay and Ambersunshower.

By the Way is the eighth studio album by American rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers. The album was released July 9, 2002 on Warner Bros. Records. It sold more than 286,000 copies in the first week, and peaked at number two on the Billboard 200 (their next album would peak at number one). Singles from the album included "By the Way," "The Zephyr Song," "Can't Stop," "Dosed" and "Universally Speaking." The lyrical subject matter vocalist Anthony Kiedis addresses in By the Way is a divergence from previous Chili Peppers albums, with Kiedis taking a more candid and reflective approach to his lyrics. By the Way was lauded by critics as a departure from the band's previous styles, and is recognized for the melodic and subdued emotions given by the Chili Peppers. Guitarist John Frusciante is credited with writing most of the album's melodies, bass lines and guitar progressions, therefore changing the direction of the recording dramatically: "his warm, understated guitar work and his doo-wop style vocal harmonies are king this time around." By the Way contained very little of the signature punk-funk fusion the band had become known for playing. Frusciante has stated that writing "By the Way [was] one of the happiest times in my life." The album went on to sell more than 8 million copies worldwide.

"The Uplift Mofo Party Plan" is the groundbreaking 1987 masterpiece by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. It is the sole album to include all four founding members on every track and features the band’s signature blend of funk-rock with influences of reggae and heavy metal. This Gold-certified work was the band’s first album to reach the Billboard 200. It features the hit standouts “Fight Like A Brave” and “Behind The Sun”.

Blowback is the 2001 album by British artist Tricky. It is his first released for Hollywood Records and features help from Alanis Morissette, Cyndi Lauper, Anthony Kiedis of Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ed Kowalczyk of +Live+, and a few more notable artists.

Mother's Milk is the fourth studio album by the American rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers, released on August 16, 1989, on EMI Records. After the death of founding guitarist Hillel Slovak and subsequent departure of drummer Jack Irons, vocalist Anthony Kiedis and bassist Flea regrouped with the addition of guitarist John Frusciante and drummer Chad Smith. Frusciante's influence altered the band's sound by placing more emphasis on melody than rhythm, which had dominated the band's previous material. Returning producer Michael Beinhorn favored heavy metal guitar riffs as well as overdubbing that was perceived by Frusciante as excessive, and as a result Beinhorn and Frusciante constantly fought over the album's guitar sound.
