Aaron Asher Barrett (born August 30, 1974) is the lead singer, lead guitarist, and primary songwriter for the band Reel Big Fish. Prior to forming with Reel Big Fish, Barrett played trombone in another ska-punk act, The Scholars, along with future Reel Big Fish bandmates Scott Klopfenstein and Grant Barry. More recently he formed The Forces of Evil with former members of Jeffries Fan Club, The Scholars and Lone Raspberry. The Forces of Evil sounded similar to Barrett's main band, although lyrically they were much more pessimistic. The Forces of Evil ceased touring and playing in early 2005, although several members have gone on to play with Reel Big Fish. Barrett is also featured in ''Serious Awesomeness'', a DVD by The Aquabats, interviewing attendees of an Aquabats show outside of The Glass House in Pomona, California, calling himself "Joe Famous" and is also seen briefly on stage with the band. He made a cameo appearance in the music video for "Come Back Home" by Suburban Legends in an Elvis costume and a cameo appearance in the music video for "I'm OK, You're OK" by MxPx as a doughnut shop employee. Aaron has been dubbed as "The sexiest man of ska in 2009". == Stage equipment == Barrett plays a variety of guitars. Of his more famous guitars are his white Gibson Les Paul Studio with a decal of the devil smoking a cigar on the body (now owned by Brian Klemm of Suburban Legends); his black, sticker slapped Gibson SG; and his U.K. made sunburst Gordon Smith Graduate with matching headstock, which he currently plays. On their live DVD commentary, Barrett comments that he paid $2000 for his Gordon Smith, and it is the best sounding guitar he has ever had. ''Monkeys for Nothin' and the Chimps for Free'' was recorded with both Barrett's Gordon Smith and an Ebony Les Paul. The clean guitar on Reel Big Fish's album, ''Fame, Fortune and Fornication'' was recorded with both Brian Klemm's Fender Telecaster and Max Beckman of Half Past Two's American Deluxe Fender Telecaster. Other guitars that Barrett has played include a blue double-neck Ibanez, featured in the videos for "Take on Me", "The Set Up (You Need This)" (briefly), and on the cover of the album ''Why Do They Rock So Hard?'' as a silhouette. He also plays various Ibanez and Gretsch guitars in the videos for "Everything Sucks" and "She Has A Girlfriend Now", and on the sleeve of Reel Big Fish's first album ''Everything Sucks''. More recently, Barrett played both a black Fender Jazzmaster (with which he recorded parts of ''We're Not Happy 'til You're Not Happy''). He also played a dark blue Gibson Archtop and a Fender '98 Black Tornado in the video for "Don't Start a Band." His effects pedals include: A Dunlop Cry Baby 95Q wah pedal, a Marshall GV2 Guv'nor Plus Distortion Pedal, an Ibanez TS9DX Turbo Tubescreamer, a Boss DD-6, and a Seymour Duncan SFX-01 Pickup Booster. He uses Marshall JCM-900 amp with Marshall speaker cabinet. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aaron Barrett」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
