The drummer from Marilyn Manson has had these injuries inflicted whilst being in the Band
* On September 7, 1996, during a performance of the song “1996″ at a Nothing Records showcase dubbed “Night of Nothing”, held at Irving Plaza in New York City, Manson became increasingly agitated by Fish’s playing, made several obscene gestures towards him, and finally aborted the song mid-way through the first chorus and threw a mic stand at Fish, striking him in the side of the head, bringing the show to an abrupt end. The rest of the band left the stage, except Ginger, who managed to claw his way halfway from behind the kit before collapsing to the stage. After paramedics bandaged most of his head, Fish was able to walk, assisted, out of the venue and into an ambulance to the hospital; he received 8 stitches over his left ear and physical therapy on his neck and right arm. Though this was Fish’s first major injury, it was far from being his last, or worst; Manson apparently took offense to his drummer’s collapse and made a point of cutting or bruising him on subsequent shows.
* Shortly after, in Orlando, during the equipment destruction part of the set, a guitar smashed with full strength into Fish’s hand; fortunately nothing was broken in this case besides the guitar.
* In June 1998 the band’s proposed tour of seven European summer music festivals (starting in Denmark 25 June) was canceled when Ginger was diagnosed with mononucleosis, commonly known as ‘Kissing Disease’. The remaining band members finished the Mechanical Animals album without him.
* Near the beginning of Rock is Dead (tour), Fish tore a ligament in his right knee (while physical therapy was continuing on his right arm from the previous incident), forcing him to abandon double bass playing lest his knee pop out of joint; on the occasion when Manson decided to break Fish’s kit, he would be forced to hop, one-legged, out of the way. Ginger played every night despite being mostly unable to walk until a month before the end of the tour.
* On the Guns, God and Government tour, Fish’s drum tech became fed up with Manson’s constant trashing of the drums and attempted to put an end to the practice by strapping them to the riser. In November 2000, at the Hammerstein ballroom in New York City, Manson met the new resistance by simply breaking the straps. The extra force caused the entire kit to catapult off the three-foot riser, Ginger going along for the ride. When he landed, he broke his collarbone. Unable to cancel the tour, he moved his hi-hats to the left and played with his wrists as much as possible (despite a doctor’s order to not move the arm for six weeks), from the gig in Detroit two days later until the tour completed.
* A month after this incident, a disc in his back herniated, causing his main (left) foot to not respond properly and go numb at random moments. He trained himself to play with his right foot and started using more double-bass patterns to keep his feet moving. When the tour completed, he had back surgery done, but his foot was never the same again.
* On September 24, 2004, during an awards show broadcast on live TV from Cologne, Germany, at the end of a performance of the new single Personal Jesus, Ginger fell from the back of his drum riser and then off the very high stage, and was taken immediately to the hospital, bleeding and concussed. The awards show was delayed twenty minutes; when Ginger woke up, the band had left the country, with Chris Vrenna playing live drums for the remainder of the year-long tour.
alot of the time its Manson himself that hurts gingerfish,why does Ginger put up with it??
