Arion Salazar (born Arion Gabriel Salazar, 9 August 1970, Oakland, California) is, as of 2006, the bass guitar player for the U.S. band, Third Eye Blind. Salazar is considered to be the most connected with the fans through the internet out of all the band members. He was previously in a Californian band called Fungo Mungo.

Salazar also played in a sessions band called Bullmark. While in Bullmark he composed the soundtrack for Activision's video game, Interstate '76. Vintage recording equipment and instruments were used to capture the original 1970s sound. Members of Bullmark included Bryan Mantia (Primus), Tom Coster (Santana), Jon Bendich, Les Harris and Dave Schul (Curveball).

At the KROQ "Weenie Roast" festival in 1997, he attempted to get on stage during Green Day's performance, and give bassist Mike Dirnt a hug. Dirnt refused, and after their performance a backstage fight ensued, ending with Dirnt being hit over the head with a bottle, fracturing his skull.

Recent absence

From a period beginning in early 2006, Salazar has been absent at some of the band's live shows. Many fans suspect this may be due to personal or drug-related problems, although both the band and Salazar himself have not commented on the issue. His recent absence has disappointed long-time fans of the band, who are used to his lively, audience-orientated personality.

Third Eye Blind fan site, 3eb.co.uk - The Village Church Yard , encouraged fans of Salazar and the band to join inLetters to Arion - 3eb.co.uk Discussion Forums a letter writing campaign addressed to Salazar. The letters were sent to him in August 2006.
