You seem to be focused on creating a style that sounds like a particular band or artist. That's exactly what Biab does! PG gives you a couple thousand styles to get you started and many of them are patterned after certain artists but due to legal issues they can't call it that. They have to say 80's Britsh pop or Hot Rock or whatever. It's up to you to figure out who they're referring to. There could be some Peppers styles already there for all I know.

But, there's something else that can work even better and that's the loops. Rather than using your midi file to create a style, you can take whatever part you like from that midi file and create an audio loop of it. Biab will load that loop and then the loop will follow whatever chords you enter. How cool is that? Then you use a style for the basic tracks and a loop or two to really finish it off.

Don't be only focused on the styles PG gives you because you can write your own but it's kinda tricky. You can also buy third party styles like from Norton Music. Bob Norton does exactly what you want, he writes specific styles to fit certain bands or songs so he might have a collection of Peppers styles ready to go.

There's many ways to do this because midi can be made to do anything you want. However, don't confuse midi with the audio Real Tracks. The RT's sound absolutely awesome but they're prerecorded phrases. If one of them isn't exactly what you want, you can't rewrite it because it's audio.
