The car Frusciante drove for the video was a 1967 Pontiac Catalina convertible. The video ends after an emotional thirty second Frusciante guitar solo at the moment of sunset, with John tossing the broken, stringless guitar from the car. They are traveling in a rusty wreck and playing broken instruments on the comeback trail. But the four of them are battered, beaten and bandaged. The opening shot is of John Frusciante driving down a strip of desert highway, a metaphor for Frusciante's return to the band (he does not drive in real life). The music video for "Scar Tissue" was directed by Stéphane Sednaoui, who also directed the video for " Give It Away".
In the book he talks about the consequences of drugs (especially heroin) and how this can destroy a person's life. Co-written by Larry Sloman, its principal theme was sex, drugs and rock-'n-roll. In 2004, Anthony Kiedis published an autobiography titled after the song. "Scar Tissue" won a Grammy Award for Best Rock Song in 2000. Guitar World placed the guitar solo 63rd in its list of the "100 Greatest Guitar Solos". The song is notable for its mellow intro guitar riff and for its slide guitar solos throughout. "Scar Tissue" is considered to be representative of the new, more melodic rock sound the band experimented with on Californication (in contrast to the psychedelic One Hot Minute, and dry funk of Blood Sugar Sex Magik). In the United Kingdom, it charted at number 15 on the UK Singles Chart. It was also successful in Iceland, New Zealand, and Canada, reaching numbers one, three, and four, respectively. Released on May 25, 1999, the song spent a then-record 16 consecutive weeks atop the US Billboard Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart as well as 10 weeks atop the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, and it reached number nine on the Billboard Hot 100. " Scar Tissue" is the first single from American rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers' seventh studio album, Californication (1999). This article is about the Red Hot Chili Peppers song.
