Background

Scott's first instruments were the flute and the snare drum, and in 6th grade joined the school's chorus, for which he apparently had a talent. His early loves were drawing, movies and, like his later bandmember Twiggy Ramirez, adored Star Wars. His first record was actually the Star Wars soundtrack, the influence that it had on him can be seen in much of his original artwork, which consists of aliens and spaceships. In the late 70's, when Scott was in his early teenage years and Punk had given way, he found admiration for artists such as David Bowie and Talking Heads, influences that are apparent in his later work.

Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids

Scott's discovery of MTV after his moving to Fort Lauderdale in 1980 gave him the inspiration required to save up until he had enough money to buy a small Casio keyboard. He taught himself to play, and later, in 8th grade, took guitar lessons. Influenced by his early favourites, Scott learned to play songs by The Cure and U2, leading to his development of an odd personal style sometimes described as a fusion between blues and grunge. Scott's first band, The Flying Eggbeaters featured schoolmates Tom Wolf and Jim Neuman as drummer and bassist. This gave him the vital experience needed to later go on to form/join other bands, such as Blue China and 'Ear Wacks.

A period of drifting followed, in which Scott attented a local Art College where he majored in advertising design. Though his musical abilities were sidetracked, he began to visit local metal clubs such as The Gutter and The Cell. In 1988, after being given a small 4-track recorder by his parents, he bought a bass guitar and a drumkit in order to record his music with a full ensemble of instruments. At this time, Scott also played with a surf-rock band called The Hodads, which later led to him forming a band named Kinetic Ritual with Hodads bassist Rick Waters and future 'Spooky Kid' Fred Streithorst on drums. Another drifting period soon set in, however, as Scott was unsure of where to take his unique style. Scott and Brian Warner met at the bar of a small local party. The two instantly bonded, poking fun at America and its dual obsession with serial killers and beautiful women. Marilyn Manson (real name Brian Hugh Warner; born January 5, 1969) is an American musician and the leader of the band Marilyn Manson. ...

Scott, who had at this point not thought to advance his lyrical ability, began to meet up with Warner and brainstorm after his admission of wanting to start a band as a creative outlet for his poetry-writing abilities. Dual input from both parties gave the band its darkly psychadelic style, and as early as 1989 began to record onto Daisy's 4-track songs that would be seven years later be known as Cake and Sodomy and Dogma. Quickly they assembled a band with Warner's schoolmate Brian Tutunick, better known as Olivia Newton Bundy and, as Warner describes in his autobiography The Long Hard Road Out of Hell, Perry Pandrea, a gawky teenager given the moniker Zsa Zsa Speck in reference to his unfortunate acne-ridden complexion. The band played its first show at The Churchills, a club in Miami.

Marilyn Manson & The Spooky Kids, with its mix of psychadelic rock and subtle metaphors - candy, for example - quickly built a cult following in Southern Florida, playing at clubs such as Squeeze and The Reunion Room, and later opening for several national acts such as Danzig. The group also won a number of Slammies, Florida's version of the Grammy, for metal acts. In 1993 Marilyn Manson & The Spooky Kids played their last show, renaming themselves (or rather being renamed by their enigmatic vocalist) to a shorter, 'to-the-point' Marilyn Manson. The line-up had by that time changed to include Fred Streithorst from Scott's previous band as Sara Lee Lucas on drums, Brad Stewart as Gidget Gein on bass, and Stephen Bier as Madonna Wayne Gacy on Keys.

Portrait of An American Family

After signing with Trent Reznor's label Nothing Records in the summer of 1993 (Warner had interviewed Reznor years before and remained in touch — Reznor, when asked to come and see a show, was suitably impressed and offered them a contract on the spot) and began work on their first album, Portrait of an American Family. During this time they also recorded their first Music Video, Lunchbox, which was the first and last music video to feature bassist Gidget Gein, sacked before their major tour of the US and Canada, due to his spiralling heroin addiction, in which the band opened for Nine Inch Nails. Though Marilyn Manson built up a strong local fanbase throughout these years, it was not until 1995 that they caught the ear of the world with the darkly gothic cover of Eurythmics' Sweet Dreams, globally praised for its rasping vocals and complex guitar riffs.

In February 1996, after opening for Danzig, having two headlining tours and making three more music videos including Sweet Dreams, Dope Hat, Lunchbox and Get Your Gunn, the band fired their drummer Freddy Streithorst after Warner ritualistically set his drumkit on fire during performance. Warner claimed that he could not keep time and this had frustrated him to the point of snapping, while Putesky remained annoyed and concerned that the band had not even managed to play through three of the songs on their setlist. Soon after this, the band accepted Kenny Wilson, known as Ginger Fish into the family. They then headed back to the studio to begin work on Antichrist Superstar.

At this point, creative differences between Warner and Scott reached their peak - Scott, somewhat introverted on stage compared to the riotous antics of Manson, Gacy and Ramirez, began to be pushed off stage by Manson, finding his equipment mysteriously broken, and being criticised at every possible opportunity - his image was, according to Warner, just not shocking enough. Excluded from photoshoots and videos (he features less than any other bandmember in the Dope Hat video, for example) and ignored by production crew, his feelings of isolation and frustration grew. Apathy, however, soon turned into active victimisation, and before Antichrist Superstar was completed, an airline ticket for a one-way flight back to Fort Lauderdale mysteriously appeared in the studio. Scott said nothing, returning home silently with no backup plan, job or opportunity.

Three Ton Gate

Scott, now abandoning the name Daisy Berkowitz, continued to work on original material, quickly producing enough music for fifteen songs, which were released under the name of Three Ton Gate (taken from the mysterious rock formation within the Coral Castle of Fort Lauderdale, created by one infatuated Ed Leedskalnin) in the form of an EP, 3x3 and the album Vanishing Century. On both of these releases, Scott played all of the instruments and sang on all of the tracks, working with female vocalist Tyreah James on two tracks from the album. The EP was fairly well received, but the album, released in 1997, sold only 400 copies. Scott's newest work is Lose Your Mind and Three Ton Gate info. can be found at ThreeTonGate.Org.
