Michael Ralph "Mike" Scaccia (July 14, 1965 – December 23, 2012)〔Strong, Martin C. (2003) ''The Great Rock Discography'', Canongate, ISBN 1-84195-312-1, p. 694〕 was an American musician, best known as the lead (and sometimes rhythm) guitarist for the metal bands Ministry, Rigor Mortis, and The Revolting Cocks. ==Early career== Scaccia was born in Babylon, New York, in the United States of America. He was of Italian descent and had three older sisters. Scaccia's first band, Spectrum, was formed with high school friends Chuck and Chad Williams on guitar and bass, Johnny Carpenter on drums and Barry (Baron) Lane on vocals. Rigor Mortis originally formed in 1983 when schoolmates Harden Harrison and Casey Orr met Scaccia. The three shared a love for horror/gore flicks and extremely heavy music, and that recipe helped them create a truly unique form of speed metal that had never been heard before. Within five years they had virtually created the thrash metal scene in Texas and landed a major label deal. In 1988, with Bruce Corbitt on vocals, Rigor Mortis released their self-titled debut album on Capitol Records. In 1989, Scaccia was asked by Al Jourgensen to join his band Ministry for their 1989-1990 ''The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste'' tour. Jourgensen was so impressed by Scaccia's talents that he included him into the band full-time.〔 Scaccia left Rigor Mortis in 1991. He then went on to record and tour for Ministry's next album, the platinum-selling smash ''Psalm 69'' throughout 1992.〔 He also played on their memorable Lollapalooza tour. Throughout 1994-1995, recording began on Ministry's follow-up, ''Filth Pig''. They relocated to Austin where sessions took place. He left the band right before the band's 1996 tour to support ''Filth Pig''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mike Scaccia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
