| − | ::''Recently | + | ::''Recently MansonUSA had the fortune of getting in contact with none other than Gidget Gein, Marilyn Manson's bassist during the Spooky Kids era (1989-1993). Gidget, who's real name is Brad Stewart, was kind enough to agree to an interview with us regarding his current music project, The Daligaggers. Aside from talk about his new band, we also asked him several questions regarding his involvement with Marilyn Manson in its early stages. '' |

# How do you plan to promote your new music?<br/>'''Gidget Gein''': I promote myself in many ways. Some might call it propaganda. I call it creative license. Guerilla art is one way. Exploitation of self and willing participants or otherwise is another and then there is www.GidgetGein.com that I designed and maintain myself. | # How do you plan to promote your new music?<br/>'''Gidget Gein''': I promote myself in many ways.

# What's the most fucked up thing you remember while hanging out with Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids?<br/>'''Gidget Gein''': Manson having his mom quit his job for him at the record store we were working at because "He couldn't handle the incense" [[File:Gein3.jpg|thumb|right]] | # What's the most fucked up thing you remember while hanging out with Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids?<br/>'''Gidget Gein''': Manson having his mom quit his job for him at the record store we were working at because "He couldn't handle the incense" [[File:Gein3.jpg|thumb|right]] | ||
# In an older interview with Seconds magazine, Manson said the following: "We fired our other bass player (Gidget) for being a heroin addict, not for being a heroin addict but for letting heroin use rule his life." Are you still on smack, or is that shit just plain whack?<br/>'''Gidget Gein''': I've had the Straight Edge for three years now. | # In an older interview with Seconds magazine, Manson said the following: "We fired our other bass player (Gidget) for being a heroin addict, not for being a heroin addict but for letting heroin use rule his life."

# In late 2002, Manson wrote the following in his online journal: "I also got a surprising call from Gidget (Brad Stewart), who has always been like a brother. He is truly talented and I hope to help him with his new work. It would be surreal to play a song together again, since we have put the past behind us." Are you still in talks with Manson about a potential collaboration, or is this pretty much unconfirmed so far?<br/>'''Gidget Gein''': We are planning art shows together. We're supposed to do some film work. Music, who knows...
