ZimZum Talking About Ginger
Baptism of Fire & The Banana Incident


Baptism of Fire--"The very first show I played with the band, all hell broke loose after four songs. Manson swung the mike-stand, the bottom of it came off and nailed Ginger. It knocked him off the stool, but he got up and carried on playing. Meanwhile, Twiggy was demolishing the bass drum. I figured, �All right, if this is the way things go��. Nine Inch Nails� set-up was behind ours, so I wanted to see what I could get away with. I threw my guitar towards the NIN kit, but it hit Ginger again! He disappeared, so we thought he�d left. We left the stage and were like, �Where�s Ginger?� But he was behind the drums the whole time. Five thousand people watched dumbfounded as he was dragged across the stage with a towel over his head. Everytime his heart beat, it would shoot blood out through a wound in his chest."


The Banana Incident--"We got Jonathan Davis into so much trouble! I think Korn actually had to cancel a show the first time I hung out with him. He made the mistake of coming to our show and Manson made him drink a shot of Jack Daniel�s. Then, making the mistake of trusting me, Jonathan took what he thought was a 7-Up chaser, but it was tequila. All I remember was that we locked Ginger out of the bus completely naked and only let him back in when the cops got there. Jonathan had some mishap with Ginger and a banana. It was amazing. I�d never seen anything like it. Ginger is a very bad, silly drinker, and it was kinda a boys� night on the bus. It was Twiggy, Ginger, Pogo, myself, my bus driver, and Jonathan. Ginger was keeping up with us on shots of tequila, and we had Metallica�s �Ride the Lightning� playing ridiculously loud in the front of the bus. We had our own mosh-pit going, and we�d take it in turns to get up on the kitchen table and crowd surf. Then Jonathan just leapt out of nowhere. Ginger was lying on his back-I don�t know what he was thinking but he was naked- and Jonathan just lunged out of nowhere with this banana�then the banana was gone! Ginger hopped around like a dog with his tail on fire, because this banana was instantly implanted up his ass. And that�s how I met Jonathan. I remember me and the bus driver carrying him to a cab."
