Gidget Gein, real name Brad Stewart, is the original bassist for Manson. He was replaced by Twiggy Ramirez. His name comes from Gidget, surfer girl heroine of 60's TV/movie series, and Ed Gein, a Wisconsin cannibal psycho.
In December of 1995, Gidget filed a complaint against Manson for alleged non-payment of royalties stemming from the band's Portrait of an American Family album. He also cited breach of contract and fiduciary duties in his complaint.
