Ministry Guitarist Mike Scaccia Dies After Onstage Collapse

Yes, I read and post this from Rollingstone Thread: Ministry Guitarist Mike Scaccia Dies After Onstage Collapse

Wow, what a cool guy!

Also places in New York called Athens, Rome, Syracuse.

and, don't ferget Slippery Rock!

well said brother.

Thank you for posting.

This song was the turning point into a gen x. We saw, living with controlling factors really made No Sense. Ministry. I wish you on to the next life and I thank you for contributing to an era of reform, We have not given up.

Matt 16:26 For what is a man profited if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

Bums me out to think the odds this guy is in *eternal* torment are very high...no peace or rest *forever*!

Sad to hear of this news, once upon a time I was a fairly big Ministry fan. Got into them in the early 90s after the release of the NWO single. Saw them live at Roseland Ballroom in NYC around 1996. To this day, was perhaps the most exhilarating, and loudest, concert I had ever attended. They dipped into some controversial subjects in their lyrics, but at the time bridged my taste into a whole new genre of music, industrial. I was fond of the droning sound of Scarecrow, along with some of their earlier songs.

I am familiar with West Babylon in Long Island, it's a very suburban area, and close to some of the areas hit hard in Long Island by Hurricane Sandy on the south shore.

R.I.P., prayers, we've lost a lot of musicians.

Scaccia had reportedly asked for the strobe lights in the club to be turned off during the performance moments before he collapsed with a seizure, according to the rock blog Blabbermouth.net

Sounds like he had an aneurism. He was such a great guitarist!



All my metal men are leaving me!

we used to cut school and listen to ministry land of rape and honey while we went to Stinson beach...good memories.

parents were cool, so long as I could get straight a's. I could cut school.

wtf

Lighten up, Judgy.

invigeraitin'

Famous song about the place:

Somehow, I'm surprised it took as long as it did for the "Judge a book by its cover" crowd showed up.

Lot of "judgy" folks on this thread. A man lost his life and all they can do is preach. It's not actually very Christian-like, now is it? "So what" (pun intended, favorite Ministry song) if they don't like the music. Really kind of sad, it shows you internet trolls come in all denominations.

Were you here when RJ Dio passed away? That was even worse.

And has surely given account for his rock star life. I can only hope he repented before his death, for his sake...may God have mercy on his soul.

most excellent

Fucking ignorant posts. They exposed evil, and opposed it; if you knew anything BOUT THE FUCKING band before regurgitating and spewing forth your christard dysentery from your parasite-ridden anal infection a.k.a your troll-hole you'd know this...

Right, because there's magical deadline after which God's hands are tied and He can't do anything for someone who didn't spend 70 years kissing His ass.

Never heard of the guy...but the churchy folks are hittin the thread cause they are thinkin...."oh a church MINISTRY guitarist died....oh my"

when we get old, we never repent of the things we've done,
but, rather for all the things we should have done.

wow what a shame! great guitarist...anyone know if he suffered from drug addiction?

maybe he was tweek'n and suffered cardiac arrest?

May he rest in peace...this one if for him~

What the hell are you? Some reincarnate from the Spanish Inquisition? Fuck off!

there ain't no fricking God. and i'm sure he had a full and
pleasurable life, so, there is no sadness.
