Title: Mike Scaccia's died

I know there's a lot of metal fans here. Just found out Mike Scaccia has died (Ministry and Rigor Mortis). Collapsed on stage  :(

Another one gone, bad times! My cuz knew him quite well, and unfortunately lost someone else in the family in the same day, so I knocked a drink back for both his losses.

I know it would be bad any time of year, but my thoughts really go out to their families in what promises to be a pretty empty Christmas for them all.  :?

That's really sad. I loved his playing on Ministry records and 47 is no age at all.

I have to admit when I saw the thread title I didn't remember who he was.  Now that I've been reminded, I can't claim to know much of his work but I did enjoy some of those old Ministry albums.

Always sad to hear of a death, even more so, in some ways, when the person is relatively young.  RIP.
