    Just heard about this. Very sad news. As Andrew says, that line up was Ministry's best. I still go back to those albums on a semi-regular basis, far more often than I do stuff from other similiar bands (NIN, etc.) putting out industrial stuff from around the same period.

    Yeah, I have to wonder if his days of hard living played a part in that - there were some heavy drug users in the band then. Sad though, the line-up he was in was the best Ministry by far imo. And Rigor Mortis was pretty cool too.

    I guess when you live the rock and roll lifestyle (which MAYBE he did) you have the chance of these "natural causes" catching up with you a bit quicker than normal I fear!

    Yeah, very young. He was on the tour I saw them on in 92. Great guitarist. I wonder about the "natural causes", though. Regardless, very sad.

    Mike Scaccia, Ministry guitarist, dies at 47

    What is it with all these people cashing out before 2013?

    Rolling Stone magazine reported that he was playing at a birthday celebration for Rigor Mortis singer Bruce Corbitt when he collapsed on stage in Texas.
