"Scar Tissue" is the first single from the American alternative rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers' seventh studio album Californication, released in 1999. It is one of their most successful songs, spending a then-record 16 consecutive weeks on top of the Billboard Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart, as well as 10 weeks at the top of the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and reached #8 on Billboard Hot 100 Airplay. It peaked at #9 on the Billboard Hot 100. In the UK, the song reached #15 on the UK Singles Chart. It won a Grammy Award for Best Rock Song in 2000. The song is notable for its mellow intro guitar riff and for its slide guitar solos throughout. Guitar World placed the guitar solo 63rd in its list of the "100 Greatest Guitar Solos".
"Scar Tissue" has been a live staple in the band's setlists since its first performance in 1998 making it the band's third most performed song ever behind only " Give It Away" and " Under the Bridge".
Scar Tissue is the autobiography of Red Hot Chili Peppers vocalist Anthony Kiedis. It was released in 2004 by Hyperion and authored by Kiedis with Larry Sloman, who compiled information and conducted interviews. The book reached a high of #1 The New York Times Best Seller List. An audiobook version, read by actor Rider Strong, was released by Phoenix Audio on June 30, 2006. An E-book version is also available.
Scar Tissue is a music group that emerged from California's electro-industrial scene in 1990. The band released three CDs on 21st Circuitry Records (distributed by Caroline Records) and appeared on numerous industrial music compilations throughout the 1990s.
Scar Tissue's music has been described as "dark electro" and is generally characterised by dense layers of percussion, ambience, and found sounds. Their live performances were notable for the use of live percussion (rare in the electronic industrial scene), and a DJ & Guitarist who played samples & noises live (including children's toys played through the guitar pickups).
Most of Scar Tissue's live performances were in California, although they toured the United States three times: once as a headliner with opening band Luxt, and twice as the opening band for 16 Volt.
After 1999 the two main Scar Tissue members, Steve Watkins & Phil Caldwell (aka Fill Neutral), continued creating music under the name Form/Alkaline. A variety of Form/Alkaline CDRs were sold over the internet and at live shows, but there were no official releases under this name on any record label. In 2003 they began using the Scar Tissue name again, and since that time the Form/Alkaline material has only been available via requests to the band directly. In April 2008 some of the Form/Alkaline songs were released on iTunes, Amazon, eMusic, Rhapsody, Napster and Amie Street as an album called "Form/Alkaline" by the band Scar Tissue.
Steve & Phil continue to write, record and perform individually, together, and with other projects. In October 2008 they released a full-length album of new dark instrumental electronic music called "Potential" which is also a digital-only release.

Scar Tissue, Michael Ignatieff’s second novel, was published in 1993 and was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize of the same year.
