Born on June 25th 1969 Group member from 1996 to 1998 The name Zim Zum is a Hebrew term which refers to the angel who was created to do God's dirty work in the Old Testament. Keep in mind that God was portrayed as a more unforgiving, malevolent and much more wrathful God in the older Testament than in the latter one. In May of 1996, Linton saw an ad in the Chicago Reader that read, "Guitar player wanted for Marilyn Manson. Send tape." He sent in the required tape and photo. Shortly after he was contacted and flew down to New Orleans for an in-person audition. Needless to say he got the gig and was from then on known as, Zim Zum. The first Marilyn Manson music video you can see Zim Zum in is, "The Beautiful People". His first show is now a notorious incident, the "Nothing Night" showcase on September 5th 1996 in New York City; where aside from his guitar being smashed to splinters, drummer Ginger Fish was hospitalized after being struck in the ribs by a microphone (stand) swinging Manson. While on tour with Marilyn Manson, Zum played "three main guitars" that he made himself, as well as some other "brand name" guitars. Zum appears as the "live" guitarist for "Irresponsible Hate Anthem" on Marilyn Manson's "Antichrist Superstar" album (1996) and writes/plays on their "Mechanical Animals" album (1998). Currently, Zum is preparing his project, Pleistoscene for public viewing and hearing! They are in the studio rehearsing for their very first tour! |
