jojo68 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 RIP to local guitarist of Rigor Mortis/Ministry MIKE Scaccia . I had the pleasure of opening for Rigor Mortis on the same stage a few months back. Of course Mike is responsible for all the sick *** MINISTRY riffs as well !

Cat_Man_Curtis Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Here's a story in our local paper stating he was on-stage and in the middle of a solo when he collapsed.

bonzoboy Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 From the first time I heard "Stigmata",I really liked Ministry,with songs like that and "Jesus Built My Hotrod" he demonstrated his knack for coming up with very catchy hooks.Another rock legend dead long before his time should be up....that's a real pity.

Bongoscot Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I was fairly unfamiliar with his music. I had heard some of it over the years but I only recently became familiar with him. It was watching a review/demo video he did for Wildwood guitars of the Classic Custom that helped me decide I was shopping for a Gibson. I have always wanted a Les Paul, and I knew I wanted a new guitar, but when I saw that review it helped seal it. It was then I knew for sure, "Im getting a Les Paul". Anyway, This isn't about me but thats my Mike Scaccia story. RIP man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
