Brian Aubrey Marshall (born on April 24, 1973) is the former bassist for Creed, and the current bassist for Alter Bridge. He originally came up with the name for the band "Naked Toddler" and later "Maddox Creed", but it was later changed to what it is today (Creed). He was in Creed until late 2000, when personal issues with vocalist Scott Stapp led him to depart the band. For Creed's follow-up album, Weathered, guitarist Mark Tremonti played bass. Brett Hestla, now of Dark New Day, played bass during live performances.
After Creed broke up in 2004, Marshall was asked to join Alter Bridge by Tremonti and Scott 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. Today, however, Brian has short hair once again.
He originally played a 4 string Fender Jazz bass guitar but he has switched to a custom made 5 string Sadowsky bass guitar as of Alter Bridge's first album.
He married longtime girlfriend Donna M. Reynolds in February 2001. Mrs. Marshall operates a Bed and Breakfast, "Mango Moon", in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica.
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.
