===1993–2002; 2008–2017: Marilyn Manson===
White met Marilyn Manson ([[Marilyn Manson|Brian Warner]]) on numerous occasions in the late 1980s. After an unexpected meeting at a used records store in the Coral Springs Mall where White was working, the two realized they had much in common, but had yet to work on a musical endeavor. White actively attempted to join Manson's band while playing in another project.<ref name="biography.com">{{cite web |url=http://www.biography.com/people/marilyn-manson-504532/videos/marilyn-manson-meeting-twiggy-ramirez-17527875547#awesm=~oIwmYBaH5P7jmr |title=Marilyn Manson - Meeting Twiggy Ramirez - MARILYN MANSON & TWIGGY RAMIREZ TALK ABOUT FIRST MEETING |access-date=2015-10-04 |publisher=[[A&E Television Networks, LLC]] |work=[[biography.com]] |archive-date=September 24, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924051407/http://www.biography.com/people/marilyn-manson-504532/videos/marilyn-manson-meeting-twiggy-ramirez-17527875547#awesm=~oIwmYBaH5P7jmr |url-status=dead }} Video, TV-14, 1:19.</ref> In March 1993, White took part in Manson's side project Mrs. Scabtree and shared vocal duties with then girlfriend [[Jessicka]]. Jeordie did not join [[Marilyn Manson (band)|Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids]] until [[Gidget Gein]] was ejected from the band by the manager in December 1993. White was given the Manson band member name ''Twiggy Ramirez'', which was derived by taking the first name from English supermodel [[Twiggy]] and the surname from American [[serial killer]] [[Richard Ramirez]]. Jeordie also adopted Gidget's persona and attitude. Ramirez appeared to assume the identity and appearance he drew heavily from Gein and then-girlfriend [[Jessicka]] Addams from the riot goth band [[Jack Off Jill]]. <ref>{{cite magazine|first=Erin|last=Nyren|url=https://variety.com/2017/music/news/marilyn-manson-bassist-rape-1202595930/|title=Twiggy Ramirez, Marilyn Manson Bassist, Accused of Rape|magazine=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]|publisher=[[Penske Media Corporation]]|location=Los Angeles, California|date=October 21, 2017|access-date=March 8, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|first=Halle|last=Kiefer|url=http://www.vulture.com/2017/10/marilyn-manson-bassist-twiggy-ramirez-accused-of-rape.html|title=Marilyn Manson Bassist Twiggy Ramirez Accused of Rape by Musician Ex-Girlfriend|website=[[Vulture.com]]|publisher=New York Media LLC|location=New York City|date=October 23, 2017|access-date=March 22, 2018}}</ref> White never played bass until Manson bought him his first instrument right after he joined the band.<ref name="biography.com"/> White was credited as a member of the band on their debut album, [[Portrait of an American Family]], but all of the bass heard on the album was actually performed by Gein.<ref>{{cite web|last=Lecaro|first=Lina |url=http://www.laweekly.com/westcoastsound/2008/10/10/rip-gidget-gein-local-artist-and-former-marilyn-manson-bassist-found-dead|publisher=laweekly.com |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181118045602/https://www.laweekly.com/music/rip-gidget-gein-local-artist-and-former-marilyn-manson-bassist-found-dead-2408902 |archive-date=November 18, 2018 |title=RIP Gidget Gein Local Artist and Former Marilyn Manson Bassist Found Dead |date=October 10, 2008 |access-date=November 19, 2018 |url-status=live}}</ref> In 1998, White made a cameo in [[Monster Magnet]]'s music video for "[[Space Lord]]".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.laweekly.com/westcoastsound/2013/11/26/monster-magnets-space-lord-rock-and-raps-missing-link?page=2|title=Monster Magnet's "Space Lord": Rock and Rap's Missing Link?|author=Chaz Kangas|work=L.A.

As a result of many lineup changes (specifically guitarists), White was largely responsible for most of the songwriting on the albums ''[[Antichrist Superstar]]'', ''[[Mechanical Animals]]'' and ''[[Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death)|Holy Wood]]''; for the latter album, he shared credits with [[John 5 (guitarist)|John 5]].
