Fish learned the drums off of [[Marilyn Manson (band)|Marilyn Manson]]'s first album, ''[[Portrait of an American Family (album)|Portrait of an American Family]]'', out of a desire to join the band; in early 1995 he auditioned for the spot. Fortunately for him, he chose exactly the right time to do it as the rest of the band had already agreed to replace their current drummer at the earliest opportunity. 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 (album)|Smells Like Children]]'' and every subsequent Manson album until and including ''[[The Golden Age of Grotesque (album)|The Golden Age of Grotesque]]'' (2003). On the [[Guns, God and Government]] tour in 2001, he broke his hand and collar bone while the band was destroying the stage at the end of a concert. However, he still played with one hand for the rest of the tour. He was temporarily replaced by [[Chris Vrenna]] for a whole year when in 2004 during the Viva Comet Awards a head injury left him unable to tour; however, he remained a member of Marilyn Manson.
 
  
Fish did not contribute to Marilyn Manson's sixth studio album, ''[[Eat Me, Drink Me (album)|Eat Me, Drink Me]]'' however, because he was not available during the haste-yet-steady writing and recording process of the album. Despite this, he still remained part of the band, performing drums during the 2007-2008 [[Rape of the World (tour)|Rape of the World]] tour.
