A Familiar Pattern

Another chapter… Another band member dead or replaced. That seems to be the pattern in this book. Just when you start to find out about a member or the band starts to get used to his style he either overdoses or quits. For some reason this is only happening to the guitarists, all the other band members are the originals. Why do the Chili Peppers go through so many guitarists? I don’t know, but I am looking forward to finding out. I’m now half way through the book and the band still continues to amaze me in every way, the drugs, the alcohol, the sex. I now know why some of the songs are the way they are and I know the background behind the singer Anthony’s lyrics. It is very interesting and I am looking forward to what happens next.

Getting into the book

Now that I am starting to learn more about the chilli peppers in this book, I’m starting to realize how much of a unique sound they have that is so different from anyone else. I’m also starting to realize how crazy they were! Some of the things they did amaze me that they are still alive, but that is really the main thing in this book that is keeping me interested. So far I have only read a few chapters and already three band members have been replaced because they died of drug overdose, but like I said. It’s the crazy stuff that keeps me interested.

Finding the Right Book

After an hour of searching for the book Scar Tissue I found out that the book was not even in the library. So I started looking for a book like it and I was able to find Red Hot Chili Peppers …in studio which is a book almost identical to the one I wanted. Red Hot Chili Peppers … in studio is a biography on the Chilli Peppers and it really got me interested so I started looking for other biography’s on bands I liked, so I looked for one on Guns N’ Roses but the only one they had hadn’t been returned in years so I continued my search for other bands and I was able to find one on Metallica. Then right beside it I found a book on the Top 100 Guitarist in the World, this caught my eye because I am a guitarist myself. So I decided to get those three books. I have started reading Red Hot Chili Peppers …in studio and I haven’t gotten very far into the book yet but so far it’s given me a background on the band and the many different band names they had before they settled on the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I look Findingforward to reading the rest of the book.
