Timothy Michael Linton (born June 25, 1969), better known by his stage name Zim Zum, is a professional musician. He was the guitarist of industrial metal band Marilyn Manson before moving on to Pleistoscene in 2002, and The Pop Culture Suicides in 2005. His stage name is formed from a Hebrew word synonymous with the angel sent to do god's "dirty work".
Career
In music
He collaborated with Marilyn Manson, after Daisy Berkowitz left the band due to antagonism from the other members, particularly Manson. The guitars on the Antichrist Superstar album were recorded by Daisy Berkowitz and Zim Zum (who played live guitar on "Irresponsible Hate Anthem" for the album) was invited as a live guitar player. After the Dead to the World Tour ended, he worked on all of the tracks from Mechanical Animals but two, which were done by John 5, but he shortly departed to pursue solo interests - although Manson himself has claimed he was fired for not attending band practice. The latter of the two reasons is perhaps dubious as Manson has been known to abash band members who have departed - as well as Zim Zum - notably Daisy Berkowitz, Twiggy Ramirez and John 5. Zum was replaced by the latter.
His first writing in Manson can be heard on "The Suck for your Solution" on the soundtrack to Howard Sterns Private Parts. In addition to a cover of "Golden Years" (David Bowie) on the soundtrack to "Dead Man on Campus" and on the re-mix of "Got The Life" by Korn, you can also hear Zim Zum playing with Cher on the soundtrack to "A walk on the moon" on a cover of "Crimson and Clover" and on the re-mix of Tourniquet (prosthetic dance re-mix).
In 2000 Bizarre Magazine's Bizarre Lives feature Guitar One magazine features Zim Zum as one of the most influential guitar players of the last 4 decades.
In 2002 makes its debut Pleistoscene, the new Zim Zum musical project. The site www.pleistoscene.com will be visited by more than 500.000 fans. Today, Zim talks about Pleistoscene as his “own orchestra”.
In 2003 two songs by Pleistoscene are released on the net. They are “Who will save us now?” e “Ordinary Life”. “Sonic Monk Magazine” says that “"Zim is a highly esteemed mega studio rock star of the highest order".
2004: Zim appears in Jane's Addictions "Three Days" concert film. And in the same year, Zim Zum gives birth to a new musical project, The Pop Culture Suicides, a self proclaimed Rock n Roll opera. In 2005 The Pop Culture Suicides release exclusively on myspace 4 songs: "To Have Lived and Died in the 21st Century", "The Art of The Bruise", "The Disillusioned Revolution" e "Whatever the Future Holds" and during the years the band posted more songs and previews exclusively on their myspace profile (www.myspace.com/thepopculturesuicides. During these years, The Pop Culture Suicides played live in some of the biggest clubs in Illinois, Ohio, Winsconsin, Iowa. They are now working on their debut double-album that will be split in 4 eps.
