He is the former drummer of [[Marilyn Manson (band)|Marilyn Manson]] and is currently involved in [[Rob Zombie]] and his side project [[Martyr Plot]]. His stage name is formed from the names '''''Ginger'' Rogers''' and '''Albert ''Fish'''''. He's been described by Manson as "the quietest and most dangerous of us all, a ticking time bomb gingerly waiting a cataclysmic explosion". Manson's also named Ginger as "the strangest and quietest person in the band". Ginger doesn't do drugs, a rather uncommon feat for members of the band. |

The band Marilyn Manson had already agreed to replace their current drummer at the earliest opportunity. Ginger learned the drums off of the first album, ''[[Portrait of an American Family]]'', and was ask to join the band in march of 1995. 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, except ''[[Eat Me, Drink Me]]'', where Manson decided to use a drum machine. He was temporarily replaced by [[Chris Vrenna]] for a year when in 2004 during the [[2004/09/24 Cologne, Germany|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. Rumors of Ginger not returning to Marilyn Manson were squashed after he performed "[[This Is Halloween]]" on the [[2006/10/31 Los Angeles, CA|Tonight Show]] with the rest of the band. Though he did not appear on ''Eat Me, Drink Me'', he did [[Putting Holes in Happiness (Ginger Fish Remix)|a remix for the track]] "[[Putting Holes in Happiness]]", on which his piano playing can be heard. |

Ginger is known to have suffered many injuries while performing. His injuries include having a mic stand thrown at his head ([[1996/09/05 New York City, NY|video]]), having a guitar smashed full strength into his hand (nothing was broken in this case besides the guitar), tearing a ligament in his right knee, and falling off the back of his three-foot drum riser and subsequently off the stage (Ginger was replaced by [[Chris Vrenna]] after this incident so he could heal during the year-long tour). In addition to these, Ginger's drum tech became fed up with Marilyn trashing the drum sets during the [[Guns, God and Government]] tour. Hoping to put and end to this, the drum tech strapped the set to the riser. Manson simply broke the straps, and the extra force caused the kit (and Ginger) to be catapulted off the riser. When he landed, Ginger broke his collarbone. A month after this incident, a disc in his back herniated. Ginger has also had mononucleosis. | Ginger is known to have suffered many injuries while performing.

The make up and the clothing were right for the show, with the white and bloody make up. I believe the drum solo he did tonight was longer than the one i had seen in videos from the santa cruz show. Rob mentioned that it was John 5 that suggested Ginger to Rob when Joey went on the road with the Murderdolls and that Ginger wasn't a good drummer, but a '''GREAT''' drummer! As a fan of both Manson and Zombie, it was awesome to see Ginger and 5 on stage together again.''|author=<span class="plainlinks">[http://www.facebook.com/Bioexorcist Tommy "Bio-Exorcist" Betelgeuse]</span> <ref name="Betelgeuse">{{cite web|last=Betelgeuse |first= Tommy |url=http://www.facebook.com/Bioexorcist |title= Fan review of Ginger's performance with Rob Zombie, Sacramento, CA |publisher=MansonWiki |date=2011-02-11|accessdate=2011-02-11}}</ref>}} |
