Frank Wilson was born September 25th, 1966. His parents were indulged in theatre, and eventually purchased one in Orlando, Florida, so Frank grew up in a musically rich environment. His parent's theatre hosted such shows as Company, Chicago, No No Nanette, The Merry Widow, A Chorus Line, and of course, Jesus Christ Superstar.
Frank began playing drums in the second grade, which led to the University of Nevada, where he played in the college corps. He also worked with several Las Vegas show bands, including Paul Anka and Barry Manilow. Before he moved to Las Vegas, his younger brother Doug was born in Massachusetts.
Frank joined Marilyn Manson in 1995, replacing Sara Lee Lucas. Manson and Ramirez auditioned him, and selected him to be the next drummer for the band. He became Ginger Fish, Ginger from singing actress Ginger Rogers and Fish from child cannibal killer Albert Fish.
Ginger Fish On Marilyn Manson: Manson is very intelligent, Fish says. It comes out in his writing. I pick up his lyric sheets and I'm really amazed at how articulate he is.
So how does Ginger reconcile his willingness to play with a singer who is smart but also perfectly willing to crack his skull open on a whim? "There is a very fine line between love and hate", he says. "I walk it everyday." Home |
