Biography

Having played drums since he was in second grade, Wilson eventually went to the University of Nevada Las Vegas to study music; during that time he played with several underground bands from the area. He learned the drums off of the first album, Portrait of an American Family, out of a desire to join the band; in early 1995 he auditioned for the spot. Fortunately for him, he chose exactly the right time to do it as the rest of the band had already agreed to replace their current drummer at the earliest opportunity. Despite constant band member changes, Ginger is only the second drummer for the band, not counting a previously used drum machine; his playing can be heard on Smells Like Children and every subsequent Manson album. On the Guns, God and Government tour (2001), he broke his hand and collar bone while the band was destroying the stage at the end of a concert. However, he still played with one hand for the rest of the tour. He was temporarily replaced by Chris Vrenna for a whole year when in 2004 during the Viva Comet Awards a head injury left him unable to tour; however, he remained a member of Marilyn Manson. While Manson was on tour, Ginger started a side project called Martyr Plot with singer Dave Scott. This project only lasted a few months. Songs can still be found. Rumours were being spread around that Ginger wasn't part of Marilyn Manson anymore. After the performance of "This Is Halloween" on the Tonight Show with the rest of the band, these rumours died quickly. Ginger did not play on the new Marilyn Manson album "Eat Me, Drink Me", which will be released June 5, 2007. A drum machine was used instead. Ginger will contribute to the world tour following the album's release.
