'''Brian Baker''' (born February 25, 1965) is an American [[punk rock]] musician. He is best known as one of the founding members of the [[hardcore punk]] band [[Minor Threat]], and as a guitarist in [[Bad Religion]] since 1994 alongside [[Greg Hetson]]. In Minor Threat, he originally played [[bass guitar]] before switching to guitar in 1982 when [[Steve Hansgen]] joined the band, and then moved back to bass after Hansgen's departure. He also founded [[Dag Nasty]] in 1985, was part of the original line-up of [[Samhain (band)|Samhain]], and has had stints in Doggy Style, [[The Meatmen]] (with fellow Minor Threat member [[Lyle Preslar]]), [[Government Issue]], and [[Junkyard (band)|Junkyard]] (a [[hard rock]] band).
In 1994 Baker was offered a touring spot with [[R.E.M.]] but declined,{{Citation needed|date=December 2011}} opting instead to accept a position in Bad Religion as [[Brett Gurewitz]]'s replacement. He has also experimented with a more pop direction influenced by [[U2]], with a band called 400. Baker briefly toured with [[Me First and the Gimme Gimmes]] in 2005 and appeared on Canadian punk band [[Penelope (band)|Penelope]]'s second album (''Face au silence du monde'').
