Christian "Speesy" Giesler (born 4 July 1970) is the former bassist of Kreator, where he was a member of the band from 1994 to 2019.^[1][2] He appeared on eight studio albums with Kreator, from Cause for Conflict (1995) to Gods of Violence (2017), and at the time of his departure, he was their all-time longest-serving bassist, surpassing Rob Fioretti, who was part of the band for 10 years. Unlike Fioretti and his replacement Frédéric Leclercq, who have both played with a pick, Giesler was a fingerstyle bassist for live shows, though he used a pick on their recordings.

He originally used a Jackson Randy Rhoads custom bass guitar, and was later endorsed by Mensinger with his own signature model. Since 2016, however, he has begun endorsing ESP guitars with a custom bass guitar as well as the AX-104.
