Scott Mitchell Putesky, born April 28, 1968 to Sanford and Sandra Putesky, is an American musician more famously known as Daisy Berkowitz and was the lead guitarist and co-founder of the rock group Marilyn Manson until he left the band in 1996, during the recording of Antichrist Superstar. Background Putesky's first instruments were the flute and the snare drum, and in 6th grade joined the school's chorus, for which he apparently had a talent. His early loves were drawing, movies and Star Wars. His first record was the Star Wars soundtrack, and the influence that it had on him can be seen in much of his original artwork, which consists of aliens and spaceships. In the late 1970s, when Scott was in his early teenage years and punk had given way, he found admiration for artists such as David Bowie and Talking Heads, influences that are apparent in his later work. His stage name, Daisy Berkowit
