Шаблон:NotabilityШаблон:Infobox musical artist Gregory David Kriesel (born January 20, 1965)[1] is an American musician known as the bass guitarist and backing vocalist for the rock band The Offspring from 1984 to 2018.[2]

Biography

In 1984 Kriesel formed the band alongside friend and cross-country teammate Dexter Holland after the duo failed to participate in a Social Distortion concert. The duo hired James Lilja as their drummer and after a year Noodles joined as guitarist, Manic Subsidal changed their name to The Offspring in 1986. After drummer Ron Welty joined the band in 1987 to replace James Lilja, the band started recording their debut album in 1989.[3][4]

In August 2019, Kriesel filed a lawsuit against his Offspring bandmates Holland and Wasserman, following an alleged decision by the two in November 2018 to fire Kriesel from the Offspring and exclude him from band related activities such as studio recordings and live performances.[5] Kriesel and his lawyers also alleged that the two conspired to "seize the business, business opportunities, and assets" of Kriesel's stake in the band without compensation. The situation is reminiscent of that of Kriesel's former bandmate and drummer Ron Welty. As the result of his absence from touring, he has been filled in by Tony Kanal of No Doubt and Todd Morse of H2O,[5][6] with Morse later being named as Kriesel's replacement.
