'''Bradley Joseph Wilk''' (born September 5, 1968) is an American musician, actor, and activist. He is best known as the drummer of the rock bands [[W:Rage Against the Machine|Rage Against the Machine]], [[W:Audioslave|Audioslave]], [[W:Black Sabbath|Black Sabbath]] (in 2013), and [[W:Prophets of Rage|Prophets of Rage]]. In late 2014 until June 2015, he played drums for [[The Smashing Pumpkins]] alongside [[Billy Corgan]], [[Jeff Schroeder]] and also [[Mark Stoermer]] on bass.
In late 2014 and early 2015, Stoermer played bass guitar on tour with [[the Smashing Pumpkins]] along with [[Billy Corgan]], [[Jeff Schroeder]] and [[Brad Wilk]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.smashingpumpkinsnexus.com/#!SP-ANNOUNCE-RECORD-RELEASE-SHOWS-WITH-SPECIAL-GUESTS-BRAD-WILK-AND-MARK-STOERMER-/c7ba/D3307958-E2F4-4359-8CE1-2CF4B00F69BE|title=The Official Smashing Pumpkins|website=The Official Smashing Pumpkins|access-date=October 29, 2017}}</ref> A Smashing Pumpkins fan since his teen years, Stoermer received a call from Corgan – who had become a casual acquaintance after their respective bands played a few shows together in recent years – to join the touring line-up in support of the Smashing Pumpkins' then-new album ''[[Monuments to an Elegy]]''. The strength of the new material convinced Stoermer to accept the offer. "In addition to the nostalgia aspect, I also had to hear the new music, which I think is great. If the new music wasn't up to par, I wouldn't be doing it. I felt like, yeah, it was one of those things I had to do", he said.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://lasvegasweekly.com/ae/music/2014/dec/03/interview-killers-mark-stoermer-smashing-pumpkins/|title=Interview: The Killers' Mark Stoermer turns into a Pumpkin—for now|website=LasVegasWeekly.com|access-date=October 29, 2017}}</ref>
