Anthony Kiedis (pronounced kee-diss) (born November 1, 1962) is the lead singer of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, is a co-founder of the band, and is responsible for writing most of the band's lyrics.
Anthony Kiedis was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan, to John Kiedis (also known as Spider or Blackie Dammett) and Margaret "Peggy" Noble, and has two half-sisters, Julie and Jenny and a half-brother, James.
Kiedis is the main songwriter of the group, pounding down nearly all of the lyrics of the band's repitore.
Anthony Kiedis, also know as Antwan the swan was born in ST. Mary's Hospital, Grand Rapids, Michigan,US on November 1st 1962, blood type A. At current he is 5'10 tall and weighs about 10 stone 10.
His father John Kiedis is a small time actor and president of Rockinfreakapotamus (rhcp fan club).His mothers name is Margaret Elizabeth also known as peggy.
Things turned pretty hectic for young Kiedis: he lost his virginity at the age of 12 to an 18 year old girlfriend of his father's arranged by Blackie and discovered drugs(cocaie and heroin) before turning 15.
Kiedis said the book came about because he'd been telling these stories for so long to his friends, and they were always "mystified" that before he was even a teenager, he was doing drugs and hobnobbing with rock royalty like Keith Moon, Alice Cooper and Led Zeppelin at the Rainbow Room on the Sunset Strip.
Kiedis said that despite all the "harrowing and death-defying weirdness" he lived through, he appreciated all of it, because at least he lived through interesting times.
Kiedis got to the point where he didn't care what it took to use, just as long as he could keep using.

But while Kiedis fails to scratch beneath the surface of his fast-lane life, his frankness is moving, especially toward the end of the book, when his mea culpa turns into a full-blown account of recovery and redemption.
It is amazing that Kiedis can keep his dozens of periods of abuse and relapse straight in his mind, much less transform them into a compelling narrative journey for the reader.
Reading about how Kiedis has to consider and seize his sobriety each and every day (he's been clean since 24 December 2000) will surely inspire anyone who is struggling with their own personal demons.
Vocalist Anthony Kiedis went from playing Sylvester Stallone's son in the movie F.I.S.T. to becoming one of the most influential artists in the alternative rock boom of the early '90s.
As the frontman for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Kiedis has inspired a generation of musicians with a hankering for both punk and funk; however, the maturation of Kiedis' songwriting -- from the goofy party music...
Anthony Kiedis was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan but he moved to California at age 11 to live with his father.
AntonyKiedis masters his voice now and is surely a great singer...but maybe too good, and that's the problem.
Kiedis and all other members try to make a "perfect" band with "perfect" songs (just think of Dani California) and so the new RHCP lacks of weirdness and energy.
His voice may fit the style of the Peppers' music, but I couldn't honestly ever claim that Kiedis is a good singer.

The singer thinks he should have been 'more considerate'.
Red Hot Chili Peppers singer AntonyKiedis has backtracked over a decision to release the autobiography 'Scar Tissue' in 2004 - because of the damage he feels it did to his former lovers.
Keidis says in hindsight he feels the well-received tomb - which recounts his band's remarkable rise through the 90's, as well as intimate details about many of his relationships - should possibly have been less personal.
