Of Reel Big Fish
Because on Stage he's such a funny guy and he and Aaron Barrett (the lead guy) have such funny witty banter which isn't appropriate to re-post here but I promise that it's hilarious. And he's so multitalented and can play like, the trumpet, guitar and do backing vocals. All at the same time.
Scott's awesome. So's Reel Big Fish.
Drummer
Trophy/Revival Dear/The Beauties/others
Multi-talented! Awesome drummer that can really keep a beat and wicked lead guitarist. He'll do back up vocals and bass too. He really gets into a song no matter what he's doing. And he's the sweatiest man in rock and roll...self proclaimed. Not to mention he host open mic/jam nights all over the city, supporting musicians in Toronto...which makes him super cool.
Hope I'm in the top seven!
Gary Peter, Bass guitar, These Electric Lives
