Jeffrey Steven "Jeff" Pilson (born January 19, 1959, Lake Forest, Illinois) is an American multi-instrumentalist best known for his long stint in the band Dokken. He was also a member of Dio for part of the 1990s and has been the bassist for Foreigner since 2004. Although he is known primarily for his work as a bassist, Pilson also plays guitar, cello, keyboards, piano, and mellotron.
Pilson joined the Dokken in 1984. Becoming a vital member of the band from the get-go, Pilson was co-writer on many of Dokken's best known and most successful songs, including Just Got Lucky, Alone Again, Into the Fire, The Hunter, In My Dreams, It's Not Love, Kiss of Death, and Dream Warriors. Pilson recorded the studio albums Tooth and Nail (1984), Under Lock and Key (1985), and Back for the Attack (1987), all certified platinum, and the gold certified live album Beast from the East (1988).
During the 1990s, Pilson also recorded and toured with Dio, appearing on both Strange Highways (1994) and Angry Machines (1996).
Pilson became the bass player for Foreigner in the summer of 2004 when he asked to join an impromptu line-up consisting of founding member Mick Jones, Jason Bonham, Jeff Jacobs, Thom Gimbel, and Bonham singer Chas West for a benefit show for Muscular Dystrophy on July 25, 2004, in Santa Barbara, CA at Fess Parker's Doubletree Resort. West would be replaced by Kelly Hansen, formerly with Hurricane, who made his debut with the group on March 11, 2005 at Boulder Station in Las Vegas. Pilson has been part of every Foreigner recording and tour since, including the 2009 studio album, Can't Slow Down.
