The most underrated drummer of all time. Stephen Perkins’ name should forever be up there with the greats. He’s just too beautiful to watch.

[@unbroken1010]

For sure.. Beyond underrated he could play with the best of them if not better way ahead of its time

[@IOooiiiooOI]

Anyone that knows anything about music and/or drums knows that Stephen Perkins is one of the greatest ever to play the instrument.

[@3cs3hs]

yeah totally, interesting to see his sticks with the balls on the ends. Don't see that to often.

[@TheILLTechnics]

Him and Jimmy Chamberlin from smashing pumpkins both totally underrated

[@veerchasm1]

My all time favorite drummer, every hit means something

[@lisaberry1700]

one of the best concerts I ever saw

[@hotlanta35]

I saw them in ATL on this tour..they blew the other bands out of the water

[@debim8686]

Me too. I had backstage passes (now in my scrapbook) but I came out front for their show and for NIN. It was magical.

[@ronaldowens5025]

Orlando for me.

[@MarkoPolo2196]

His physicality while he plays the drums is so mesmerizing, hypnotic, and damn beautiful

[@HIPPIETHUG92109]

Stephen is the greatest drummer of all time! Jane's is responsible for everything magnificent in the 90's

[@mesoanarchy]

The best album or live show intro song ever.... I wish we could've seen the whole band. Was just a kid for this. Saw Perry in a long lightweight, full-length coat, beer in hand during the afternoon checking out bands on the stages outside the amphitheater. Said hi, he nodded said hello and asked if I liked what was happening. I said yeah. He smiled, nodded his head in approval and kept it moving. It reminded me of the photos I'd seen of Brian Jones walking around at Monterrey in 1969.

[@stephenblanco7765]

Yes that is the Jane’s I remember Had the privilege to attend Dallas 91’ great Peaceful show

[@nickymoe3023]

Perkins at Lollapalooza...

[@Danbeck007]

[@runawayuniverse]

Yeah, I remember getting a horrible sunburn from all that rain.

[@pitchpolemusic3555]

I was in the bathroom the whole night, missed everything.

[@unbroken1010]

I wonder how many people actually realize how really good Stephen Perkins was. Even on good gods urge.. what is he doing today anyway does he have any side projects.. blasted right through me at Lollapalooza 91

[@blahblah606]

I saw JA several times on the Ritual tour and PFP's on the Good God's Urge tour with Mike Watt on bass. Every time Stephen was absolutely mesmerizing. I miss those days.

[@gemusemann5288]

Bruh this was on my birthday

[@travisbicklesmohawk7069]

I know it was the 90's and all, but come on Stephen, those cymbals are two feet over your head.

[@cjr1971]

i wonder how steve tunes those drums wow

[@myownruin187]

Fuckin BAD ASS..

[@scottvalenzuela7378]

I had my ex on my shoulders while shrooming my brains out the entire Janes show at Lallapaloosa 1. Fucking Epic

[@teresasparks9194]

You see kids, smoking weed then was a no no. So the whole beginning was funny to us old fogies

[@WDeeGee1]

Bonzo? Is that you???
