Stephen Bier, Jr. was born March 6th, 1964. He had never picked up a keyboard until he joined Marilyn Manson, it took him less time to master the keyboard then time saving money to buy one. Gacy got his stage name from Madonna, whom everyone on earth knows, and John Wayne Gacy, a serial killer who worked as a clown called Pogo during the day. Gacy is often referred to as Pogo, and was called so the entire run of Mechanical Animals. If you've read the autobiography Marilyn Manson wrote, you know Gacy and Manson were going to attempt to kill Nancy, Manson's ex girlfriend, who was cancelling shows and making their lives a living Hell. He is very interested in Numerology and Hebrew Cabbalism. Pogo used to play with toy soldiers on stage before he bought a keyboard. Marilyn Manson on M. W. Gacy: "Pogo, a genius too mad to use his intelligence in any constructive way. He always reminded me of the professor on Gilligan's Island: he was smart enough to build a TV out of coconuts, but he could never fix the boat to take everyone home. If dared to, Pogo would gladly do anything, even drink his own urine; however, he would fall deathly ill if anyone did anything as trifling as putting mayonnaise on his food." Home |
