Brian Marshall
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brian Marshall (born on April 24, 1974) is the former bassist for Creed, and the current bassist for Alter Bridge. He originally came up with the name for the band (Creed), which had previously been called "Naked Toddler". He was in Creed until late 2000,until personal issues with then-current vocalist Scott Stapp led him to depart the band. For Creed's follow-up album, Weathered, guitarist Mark Tremonti played the bass and for live shows Brett Hestla, now of Dark New Day, played bass.
He was asked to join Alter Bridge by Tremonti and Phillips personally since they enjoyed his playing. Interesting to note was his new appearance which made him almost unrecognizable after his four year absence. He had grown out his hair and buffed up in his time away from music.
He originally played 4 string Fender Jazz basses but has switched to custom made 5 string Sadowsky basses as of Alter Bridge's first album.
He married longtime girlfriend Donna M. Reynolds in February 2001.
He started out his music career by playing his father's drums. He states that after scratching his father's drum set a few times, that his dad decided it was time to buy him a bass guitar. Taken from an interview on Music Equals Life
