Stephen Perkins is the drummer for the legendary rock bands JANE'S ADDICTION, PORNO FOR PYROS, INFECTIOUS GROOVES and currently BANYAN. His hard-driving tribal approach to drumming and percussion has solidified his position as one of todays landmark musicians.

R.I.P. Paul

[bassist13]

paul gray does not do that bassline justice, would have been cooler if they had Mike Inez do it,

[Earrthgirl4]

hey steve I know Amber from high school Sorry about that shit! Tell Steve "Sprite" I said hello and is he going to the reunion?

[sprite384]

Who is this man? Because i never heard of him.

[ThAwOrLdInFlAmEs]

that would've been cool. Paul Gray seems ut of place. the guy is a great bassist but hes a metal bassist not alternative-rock

[Heidi0012]

I agree!! I think both Mike Inez & Stephen are amazing & totally deserve more credit.
