Birthday - July 20, 1966 in Seattle, Washington
Stone Gossard was born on July 20, 1966 to a wealthy family. His dad was a lawyer in Seattle and has remained their his entire life. He met Jeff Ament in the mid-80's, and they formed the band Green River. He was also in Mother Love Bone. After MLB broke up, he began to look for other members. He had seen a guitarist, Mike McCready, play and thought highly of him. So he recruited him along with Eddie and Dave Krusen, the original drummer, and they formed PJ. Stone has often been thought of as the backbone always holding PJ together. Besides being active in the support for the legalization of marijuana, Stone has been known for stomping his feet in concert and having a good sense of humor. It is Stone that provides the rhythm in most of PJ's songs. He has a very distinct sound that can also be heard in his side project, Brad.
