Conservative Web Site Says DIMEBAG 'Contributed To Culture Of Death' That Spawned His Killer
- Dec. 14, 2004
|
|
William Grim, Contributing Editor of the popular conservative web site The Iconoclast, has penned the following article with regards to the recent murder of DAMAGEPLAN/ex- PANTERA guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott: "You've undoubtedly heard by now that a demented fan last week killed heavy metal guitarist Dimebag Abbott at the Alrosa Villa in Columbus, Ohio. While I am extremely happy to hear that the assassin was shot to death by a brave Columbus policeman and I in no way want to engage in a blaming the victim scenario, I cannot deny that there much in Mr. Abbott's demise of one being hoisted on one's petard. The squalor, inhumanity, filth (both in the metaphorical and hygienic senses), depravity, ugliness and ignorance of everything that heavy metal represents (Like rap, I cannot use the noble term music in a description of heavy metal) creates a mindset among its devotees in which Mr. Abbott's assassination was an event that was all but waiting to happen. "It was highly amusing, and also terribly sad, to watch on television fans conducting a 'vigil' for the slain Mr. Abbott outside of the Alrosa Villa. It was an assemblage of ignorant, semi-human barbarians who were filthy in attire and manner, intellectually incoherent and above all else, hideously ugly to the point of physical deformity. Here is a definite case in which the outer appearance of these 'fans' accurately represented the hideousness of their souls. That the physical deformity of their ugliness was self-inflicted makes the spiritual tragedy of their misspent lives all the more tragic." Read more.

Dime embraced life more than anybody else. He was a great man and enjoyed what he did. So what he played heavy metal who fucking cares?! He was agreat fucking man and he was extremely talented. And people who don't shit about the man or the music he played or how much he enjoyed life are the ones that are ignorant.

Well, allow me to be the first. This guy seriously needs to put down the thesaurus. "I'm an intellectual, therefore , I must use the largest words possible, with technically correct, yet borderline run on sentences". Just remember, this may be a "popular" conservative website, but it's fringe. More people will read that crap here than on his site. I was telling my wife just last night that never in my life have I dealt with more genuine people than when hanging with my metalhead friends. Screw this dork, we're good people.

Only a true dickhead writer would group heavy metal with only negative connotations. There is heavy metal music out there that tells a story that isn't always ugly. Morons like this make me wish he was the one that was SHOT. I suggest we all flood his email box letting him know exactly how we feel about him.

"see...some people should die...but it always seems to be the wrong ones."
My thoughts exactly and this ignorant piece of shit should be one of them.
The music industry lost a great man. Alot of my friends that are "metalheads" are some of the coolest people to come across. Just b/c they listen to a certain genre of music does not mean they themselves are wrong people and they live a bad/abnormal lifestyle. Alot of my friends who are lawyers and doctors, listen to metal music.....and they obviously have an amzing career and life, but obviously do not let they're musical preference influence them in any way. Dime played and listened to metal music, but he was a damn fucking good guy. Better than most I know.

This guy is steriotyping everybody that listens to metal. He doesn't understand the whole scene or anything. Probably all he knows about metal is that its loud and you can't understand the guy singing...therefore its not worth listening to and everybody that listens to it uses drugs and are human debis and a drain on society. If this guy was a little more intelegent he'd see that the whole metal community has pretty much pulled together right now because of a fallen brother.
Rap is 100 times more violent than metal, but this guy won't pick on them because its a black thing and that would be considered racist. I am a conservative, but I think this guy is who Napalm Death were talking about in Conservative Shithead.

is probably a description of his sex life! Seriously, though...read the whole article. He speaks of "imposing" a proper (read:his) cultural aestethic on the nation's young people. There are a lot more conservative fascists where this guy came from; if you voted for Bush, you helped strengthen their hand. This guy isn't a major threat; he's too much of a bigot for that. It's the people who can make his fear and ignorance appealing that will be the real problem. Make no mistake- someone's going to try.

Please tell us who you are (first name): Darrell Abbott Fan Do you mind telling us where you're from? Texas Conservative, libertarian or liberal? Who cares Who's more loathsome? Bill or Hillary? Who cares Where did you learn about our Web site? Blabbermouth Will you come back to Iconoclast.ca? F--k No Do you have any comments about our site? It was highly amusing, and also terribly sad, to watch on television fans conducting a 'vigil' for the slain Mr. Abbott outside of the Alrosa Villa. It was an assemblage of ignorant, semi-human barbarians who were filthy in attire and manner, intellectually incoherent and above all else, hideously ugly to the point of physical deformity. Here is a definite case in which the outer appearance of these 'fans' accurately represented the hideousness of their souls.

let's see... a human being's life was taken away before his time... a person who has never, even before his death, generated a negative comment from anyone but phil... people from across different genres of rock and metal knew him because he didn't limit himself to loving only one form of music...
what a close-minded fascist this person is! 'these people don't look like me or dress like me, so it's ok if they're eradicated from the world i live in!' F'N A-HOLE!
and another thing... not all of us who listen to heavy metal MUSIC 'dress' a certain way... i'm willing to bet that you couldn't pick out metalheads in a crowd who are dressed 'just as well as you'
if you were to take this idiot's comments and substitute a race or culture for every use of the word heavy metal, you would get the same thought process of a racist bigot

"Mediocrity is the goal of socialism. Americans should aspire to greatness. "
Americans are free to perform and listen to whatever they want.....as you are free to have your opinion. I guess you also dont read horror novels or watch horror movies but will you also demonize them because you dont agree with or like them?
And you didnt bother to mention the others killed in that tragedy-what is your opnion on them.....did they somehow contribute to their own deaths by working there and supporting Metal?
Face it, the killer was an obviously mental. There are things like this that happen everyday but it just doesnt happen to be a famous person who is killed. What of all the other psychopaths that have gunned down the innocent over the course of history-are you to tell me that NONE of them listen to classical music?

Because I wouldn't want to have someone like that even want to think about talking to me or coming anywhere near me. He seems like he is a lot uglier than any of us right now. Fucking asshole.
"Here is a definite case in which the outer appearance of these 'fans' accurately represented the hideousness of their souls.

Does this guy think that everyone that listens to heavy metal lives in a fucking trash can, is good for absolutely nothing, never takes showers, has no job, never went to school, ect. ect.? Cuz if this guy does, then I think he better crawl out of his little fantasy land and fucking realize that we are all around him wether he likes it or not, and most of us are not what he thinks we are.

Obviously everyone is entitled to their opinion but if the person does not have a clue about the music or about the person really shouldn't have an opinion...that's my opinion. What most people don't realize and/or understand is that it's not Dime's fault or anyone else for that that plays this kind of music that people are insane and go on a killing spree. Dime didn't provoke or asked to be killed. Nathan Gale was clearly disturned and obviously had a chemical embalance...which is not his fault either, but the guy was just clearly insane. Just b/c a band writes music about a certain culture lifestyle, doesn't mean that they want their fans to to kill people. And people who go off and do stuff like Nathan Gale or kill themselves obviously should of been put away. And the people who kill themselves in my opinion deserved to die. But point being, Dime didn't provoke the guy to him, that's rediculous. And this thread is just wrong and the guy who wrote this is just an ignorant asshole and really shouldn't talk/write about things he doesn't know. Now he's the one that should be severly beaten to a bloody fucking pole. Asshole.

This guy influnneced no one and he is pissed because he can't. He just wants the attention and boy has he opened a huge can of worms. Hate e-mails are going to overrun his mail box. I can't wait. If has the balls to make a hateful statement about someone he didn't even know and don't expect a reaction, he is a true dumbass. Why can't everybody get along and play nice.. :)

This guy is such an asshole. I can't believe it. Ban his publication and write hatemail to him. I am a computer nerd who listens to Pantera and have seen them perform several times. I have a house, wife, and kid on the way. Am I an ignorant, semi-human barbarian who is filthy in attire and manner, intellectually incoherent and above all else, hideously ugly to the point of physical deformity? Um. No, but it doesn't matter what Dimebag's fans are or look like. Just because you look filthy in attire does not make you an ugly person. Every person has something beautiful about them even if they don't appear that way.

"Dimebag influenced many people by being a virtuoso on a musical instrument in a genre of music loved by many.
what the fuck have you done to the world to let you voice an opinion about a genre you know fuck all about? what's that? sorry? I didn't hear you, oh, you said "absolute bollocks all?"? oh ok, then all is clear.
stick to rap, a music that freely advertises guns, drugs and violence, which compared to heavy metal music DOESN'T contribute to the culture of death............No wait, that doesn't make sense......oh wait, i forgot you've no idea what youre talking about. Silly me. I really should remember that.

It seems often the wrong people in life are shot and killed. I have never considered myself to have the right to take another person's life no matter what I feel about them. Someone like you, however, who has such an utter disrespect for life, and opinions that differ from yours, doesn't deserve space on the planet. That was the most shallow and closed-minded article i have ever read. Did you ever consider that even though his music and appearance/lifestyle were not something for you, it still obviously touched thousands and tousands of people throughout the planet. Sure, it doesn't seem like these are good people to you, because you have developed such a narrow mind of what that is. You should hope in your lifetime to even be half the man darrell abbott was. Sure, you've got it covered when it comes to appearance. I'm sure you are one great looking guy. But inside, you could never be half the person he was, who made a friend with everyone he met, and touched the lives of millions with his albums. Your life will never mean any of that because you have no sense of compassion or empathy for how people feel and live. The metal community is the most tight nit and loyal communities on the face of the planet. People who loved this man and what he did for their lives, died trying to be there for him. It's a love and understanding for your fellow man that you could never understand. That's what makes us beautiful, not our clothing. And thats why we will be remembered long after you've stopped wasting time and space on this earth.

Here's a war of words the will not win!!!!!! You picked the wrong community to attack, motherfuckers!!!! I left the following on their pathetic board:
To Hell with you and your judgemental blame-shifting antagonism towards the heavy metal community. Your lack of comprehension and hasty assumptions concerning the intergrity and intention of a revered musician such as Darrell Abbott is an astronomically closed-minded casting of stones which, in spite of your over-inflated sense of self-worth and supposed concern for the country's integrity-or indeed, perhaps because of it, you have NO right to assign. It is YOU and YOUR kind who limit the freedoms, aspirations and ideals that this country was founded on. You are enemies of free-thought and self-expression, devoid of humanity in your attempt to elevate your narrow-minded ideals to a deified platform from which you attempt to look down with contempt upon our society. I suggest pointing that twisted, self-serving finger at yourselves before you try to impose your soulless, socially detrimental, holier-than-thou "values" upon the one community in this country that is FULLY aware and alert to your attempts at undermining the unshakeable foundation and unity of passion that irrevocably binds us. One "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott is worth a thousand cold purveyors of suppressed freedom such as yourselves. The pure and raw inspiration that Darrell's music provides for us has not been sullied by the selfish act of one misguided fool with a gun, and it sure as HELL will not be tainted by the broken words that fall from the mouths of snakes such as yourselves. May "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott sleep the eternal sleep of true Heroes and Contributors To The Good Of Man, and may you burn by the very fire of judgement by which you transfer blame for your own innefective lives unto others. Darrell Abbott is above and beyond the criticism of slithering worms of deception such as yourselves.

The thing is, there is so much that is completely off-base, ignorant, and hateful about this article and the website it comes from, that I don't even know where to begin or where to end.
Don't blame the music. Metal or rap. Mainstream gangsta rap like 50 Cent truly does have little of substance to offer and does, in a sense contribute to a culture of violence at least in a vague symbolic sense, but at the end of the day you STILL have to be a messed up individual to kill someone. If this music didn't exist, people would still find reasons to kill each other. There is a lot of rap and hip hop out there that is trying to make a positive statement, or to get people to think, but if all you listen to is metal then I guess you aren't aware of that.
Pantera and Damageplan, likewise, are bands that have a positive message. Particularly on "Vulgar Display Of Power," Pantera had some very intelligent, introspective lyrics about social interaction, culture, growing up, etc.
Don't criticise what you don't understand.

The parts that stood out most to me was his preoccupation with "physical deformity" and "hideous ugliness" that he sees in metal fans. Hey, some folks ARE deformed at birth or suffer deformity through accidents. Other folks are not gifted in looks. Is this guy really so sick that he believes that ugly people are spiritually deformed? I didn't know that anybody believed that kind of shit anymore! He almost sounds as though he thinks that we are naturally inferior forms of life, and that our supposed ugliness is a punishment by God. What a sick belief. Even if it was true that we are physically ugly, this guy has an ugly heart, and that's much worse.
Y'know--a lot of you are obviously very pissed off by this guy's comments, and for a good reason. Think about this--this is what racism is like. No, I'm not saying that this guy is racist--he's a white guy insulting a mostly white group of people--but his smug hated is very similar to racism. It gives us a little taste of what it is like.
Finally, having known a fair number of conservative metalheads, and a huge number of conservatives, this guy doesn't represent all conservatives. There is a certain BRANCH of conservatism that is very hateful and intolerant, and that's what he's representing. I'd love to hear some conservative metalheads hand this guy's ass to him.
For anyone who writes to him--I understand the urge to vent, but writing intelligent comments that refute his stupidity is the best punishment you could give him.

I would just like to post the email I sent to the editors of that shit site in response to this article. What an asshole!!! I'll let you all know if they reply to me.
To Whom It May Concern:
Where do I start?? While Mr. (I use the term very loosely) Grim's article may have been meant to be taken tongue-in-cheek, I am very insulted by almost everything he had to say. Mr. Abbott's music did nothing to provoke this maniacal, delusional person that murdered him. Just as Monica Seles' tennis career had nothing to do with the crazed fan that attempted to take her life. Also, ridiculing and denigrating the many fans of Mr. Abbott for conducting a vigil is digusting at best. Mr. Abbott has been recognized by basically anyone who had ever met him as being an honest, humble, appreciative, loving and caring son, brother and friend. Based on everything I have read from his thousands of admirers, Darrell was cordial, friendly and accomadating to all fans who had the pleasure of meeting him. Darrell Abbott did not spread hate. Quite the opposite. Upon hearing of his death, many, if not most of his fans jammed chat rooms and forums to share stories of his kindness and the respect we had for someone who had all the talent in the world and never took it for granted. In closing, it is quite obvious that William Grim's article on the murder of Darrell Abbott has spread more hate than Darrell did in his whole life. That's assuming Darrell ever did at all.
I fully expect a response from this email. I personally take offense to William Grim's assertion that Heavy Metal fans are "ignorant, semi-human barbarians who were (are) filthy in attire and manner, (and) intellectually incoherent" as I embody none of these qualities. William Grim should try to do some good on this planet rather than spread his intolerant and ignorant views. As I stated earlier, his article did more to spread hate than anything Darrell ever did or said.
Thank you,

Let me begin by saying I understand the right to free speech. But to those of you who run Iconoclast I say for shame. I am a heavy metal fan, but you will not see me writing to you with some unnecessary tangent using nothing but a string of curse words and unintelligent garble like you say we metal fans do. I'm writing to you as a human being to another human being. You've by now received an extrodinary amount of hate emails by Dimebag Darrell Abbott's fans. But can you blame them? You've kicked a community when they are at their lowest. How dare you judge what you do not understand nor know? This just reveals what type of people you REALLY are. Hypocrites who hide behind words. A man was shot. And all you can do is sit there and judge. You wait until the enemy is weak and you strike. You are no better than the man who shot Darrell.
And on another note, I've changed my mind about the language.
FUCK YOU!

I took the time to write a response to Mr. Grim. I couldn't believe it when I read his "article" - completely bullshit. This is going to be LOOOONG, but here's what I wrote him, for anyone interested in reading an intelligent response to his crap...
Dear Mr. Grim :
I found your article both offensive and completely devoid of any form of human compassion. Calling yourself an elitist is a joke - you claim that Americans should aspire to greatness, whilst you yourself are nothing more than a narrow-minded, culturally ignorant jackass.
Your specific remarks in regards to heavy metal fans in general are sickening. How you can publicly display such ridiculous, one-sided, and totally uneducated opinions is beyond me. Basing someone's personality, soul, and character off of a physical appearance is against everything which America stands for - and considering that from the context of your article you consider yourself a good American, you of all people should understand how asinine your remarks are.
I myself am a fan of heavy music, and personally took offense to your remarks. Were you to meet me on the street, you wouldn't have the slightest idea that I was a lifelong fan of metal music, and more specifically, took great inspiration from the talents of Dimebag Darrell. The fact that he was not Bach or Beethoven does not cheapen or lessen his contribution to music, or make him some sort of sub-par human being.
It amazes me that someone of your obvious mental acumen could be so absolutely lacking of any sort of compassion or open-mindedness towards other people. Whether or not you liked or respected Dimebag's talents or music, or heavy metal in general, the fact remains that he influenced millions of young musicians in a very positive way. I think that you have failed to realize that while you take many positives from the classical music you so often refer to in your article, many people have taken away similar sentiments from Dimebag's guitar playing and music, and from metal in general. You may not care for the music itself, but it IS music, and music is universal in its ability to reach people on a very deep emotional level, and Dimebag's music certainly did just that.
I am appalled at the fact that you would take something as sad as Dimebag's murder and turn it into something which he almost deserved. The fact that you would attack someone in death, and attack those who loved and respected him as well, is morally reprehensible in every respect.
The fact is that Dimebag Darrell Abbott is remembered by almost everyone as a wonderful human being first, and a very talented musician second. Whether or not he was covered in tattoos and long hair and a pink goatee, the person inside that rough exterior was one of the finest people I have ever come into contact with. We, as people, are always judged by our character, heart, soul, and humanity above all other things, and in those areas, Dimebag represented the best of us. It's obvious that you never met him, read about him, or even know one single thing about him, which just makes your article that much more ignorant and upsetting.
I found a great deal of irony in your little rant, however - your usage of the phrases (or should I call them insults?) "ignorant, semi-human barbarians", "ignorant, barbaric, untalented possessor of a guitar and large amplifier system", and "more simian than human" in describing Darrell were very accurate descriptions of yourself, instead. I would, of course, change "untalented possessor of a guitar and large amplifier system" to "untalented possessor of a keyboard and an uneducated opinion", but you get my point.
You are a disgrace. It is quite obvious to me, and to all who read your mindless drivel, that you could only hope to be one fifth of the person that Dimebag Darrell Abbott was. Being a good person is completely independent of one's musical tastes, and by insuating that that is not the case, you have proven yourself to be a complete, total, and undeniably heartless monster.
If being "civilized" means subscribing to your definitions of human decency, I am proud to call myself uncivilized. Darrell was a wonderful person, a ridiculously talented guitar player who changed the way millions of people played the electric guitar, and someone who made a very positive and enduring difference in the lives of all who knew or met him.
Shame on you sir. I would expect a much more open-minded and understanding viewpoint from someone as intelligent as you.

It's definately a conservative website, no question about that. It uses satire, yes, but it's satire against the left and ANYONE ELSE that doesn't fit their narrowminded view of the world. Personally, I think that humor is a great tool, but a). Some of the articles on the website are obviously not intended to be humorous--read them, and b). Even if this particular article was intended to be humorous, it's not funny at all to make fun of Dime's death.

Can people send this guy a death threat...cause I did and it would be better if there were more than one in case he wants to try and find me and charge me. If not just tell him he sucks ass. wgrim@myrealbox.com.
Any hackers that can crash the website would be good too, or if someone can find his home address to scare him William E. Grim and he lives in Germany.

Sinner--Blabbermouth is not misleading its readers. I'm a left-winger who reads conservative media to get different points of view, and this is a well-known conservative website. Just because it uses humor doesn't mean it's not a serious website. Just look at the cartoons--cartoons are funny, right, but they are all from an ultra-conservative point of view.

What an ignorant motherfucker. I emailed him to tell him so. Bach and Beethoven. Very fucking original. He should try Paganini. Paganini was to the solo violin what Dime a a few others are to the guitar, simply amazing talent. This moron has no clue about Dime, the metal community or those that just enjoy the music. Fucking dumbass.

Is it me or did any body else catch on to this. Back when artests(the one's he likes) were creating their art, they were deemed to be devil worshipers, bad people, scum also. I find it kind of funny that the people he deems better people, were cast outs just like us metal heads. If he lived in Beethoven's time he too would be on the receiving end of the concervatives tounge. But like most Conservatives they do what is in. They are never true to thenselves or anybody else. So hence he would probubly Not like Beethoven and go with the rest of the church on who is or isent the right way. He is calling us bad people for morning the lose of a fellow metalhead and most of all fellow human being. He should be the one considered The squalor, inhumanity, filth for him not carring about human life. He truely needs a morality check. Look in the mirror scumball and realize that your life isent worth must more then you concider ours.

He's not an "Ex-Patriot."
He's an expatriate.
"Expatriate" does not mean a "former American" or former anything, it just means a person who lives outside of his/her country of origin. I'm often an "expatriate," in that I live in Asia much of the time. I am NOT an "ex-patriot"; I'm CURRENTLY a patriot, and living outside of my country will never change my love of my country, my patriotism.
Regardless, this guy is an IDIOT.

I went a little soft on him but I figure he's not gonna read it otherwise:
It seems to me what you really want is a little more specific, so why don't you just say it? Come on William, say it with me, "I want a dictatorship, the very best dictatorship, governed by someone who believes like I do and has the same tastes, interests, sexual proclivities, etc. that I do." There, do you feel better? You're holding back...and it shows.
Even a "simian" like myself is intelligent enough to see through your bogus condemnation of Darrell's murder. It seems awfully evident you feel he got what he deserved. Am I right? He was a heavy metal protagonist, ipso facto, he was killed for it. This tragedy for you is simply an excuse to "blah blah blah" your self-righteous ego-fueled drivel.
You'll never achieve your goals with the attitude you have. You do realize that, don't you? That is, unless your goals don't require other people. You can inspire nothing but resentment and hatred with your words. You'll never be a true leader.
You got a lot of people's attention today, but it will be short-lived. Sadly, your life will most likely return to the mediocrity you so much fear.
Here's some unsolicited advice: Put down the thesaurus and pick up "How to win friends and influence people" by Dale Carnegie. Hopefully you'll learn a thing or two. If you don't, then your beyond all hope.
Oh, and I am a fan of Dimebag AND Beethoven. Blows your mind, doesn't it?

Very well said. I'm quite sure that grim's article was written specifically to get a rise, and more than likely not to be taken seriously. I could be wrong on both accounts. The mere fact that it was written at all disgusts me, and obviously anyone else who read it. I also posted my email to the editors of that site and hope the sheer volume of feedback they receive will be enough to make them, at the least, reconsider the direction they are taking by posting ridiculous, ignorant and tasteless material such as this. Once again, Dimebag Darrell has brought this metal community together and I hope people recognize that. It's a crying shame that it is his death that has brought this about, however it is a tribute to the person Darrell was that we all care enough to let our voices be heard. R.I.P. Dime - You are sorely missed and will not be forgotten.

"It was highly amusing, and also terribly sad, to watch on television fans conducting a "vigil" for the slain Mr. Abbott outside of the Alrosa Villa."
Wow, talk about being ugly and semi-human. If in fact, as you claimed, "the outer appearance of these "fans" accurately represented the hideousness of their souls." I would not like to see a picture of you, as I am sure your soul is as black and hideous as the darkest of the human psyche can imagine.
You don't like Heavy Metal music. Fine, I'm happy for you. Bach is better than Abbott. No shit Sherlock! You must have some kind of Doctorate in studies of the obvious. I enjoy Filet Mignon and think it is far superior to eating a ham sandwich. That doesn't mean that the ham sandwich is a completely useless form of food.
The idea that the style of music a person plays can lead to their demise is fairly nonsensical to anyone who doesn't feel compelled to throw around large words to "prove" how "smart" they are. One heavy metal musician was killed by a fan who obviously had mental problems. It's akin to argueing that the military creates crazed killers based solely on the fact that Nathan Gale and John Hinkley, jr. were former military men. It's a broad, unsubstantiated claim.
At the end of the day. It doesn't matter, you won't consider anything I say. I believe you are likely to thick to comprehend anything logical which is presented to you.
I hope you feel better about yourself for degrading someone's life, their fans, their friends, their families.
"...ugliness and ignorance of everything that heavy metal represents ...creates a mindset among its devotees in which Mr. Abbott's assassination was an event that was all but waiting to happen."
I have never read so much ignorance and ugliness as that contained in your article Grim.
Lastly, invest in spellcheck, you need it.
"A confidant civilization imposes its morality and aesthetics on it young people. Yes, you heard it right." Confidant? As in a society you can share your deepest secrets with in confidence? I think you mean CONFIDENT.
"...cannot deny that there much in Mr. Abbott's..." That there much?

Too bad I can't get through to this arrogant pricks website. It is undoubtedly flooded with people who want to retort to his tasteless, insulting, clueless article.
He seems to think that he is so much better than us "evil" metalheads. I'd like to know how he would feel if it was his brother on that stage that was brutally murdered? Would he bring up "The squalor, inhumanity, filth (both in the metaphorical and hygienic senses), depravity, ugliness and ignorance of everything that heavy metal represents", or would none of those stereotypical opinions matter because someone he loved was murdered? I'm going for the latter.
I really don't know why people want to make this into something it's not. It's real simple. A demented 25 year old psycho murdered someone for no reason other than the fact that in his sick head he thought Dime was the reason for Pantera breaking up. There is NO other reason he did it. Like Chris Rock said "fuck the music, fuck the movies, CRA-ZEE!"
This William Grim is just another ignorant fool who can't accept the fact that there are crazy people in this world who don't have to have a reason. Maybe it helps people like this Grim clown feel better to think "if I don't associate with those filthy metalheads, I'll never be a victim of a crime". Guess what asshole, it doesn't work like that! You could be taken out by a 50 year old woman who has road rage...You're not safe in this world no matter who you associate with or not.
To close out this post I would like to say that I would like to be a fly on the wall in a room with Zakk Wylde, Vinnie, and William Grim AFTER Zakk and Vinnie were informed that he was the author of this piece of shit. If he made it out of that perfect scenario alive maybe then he would be qualified to write about how barbaric metal fans can really be.
R.I.P. Dime-I got your back on this one brother!

Did anyone see this?
Hypocrisy of the Religious Right- Conservative site trashes Dime, Heavy Metal, and its Fans posted on 12-14-2004 @ 3:18 PM by - Dan The same people who tell us to "...judge not less ye be judged, love our neighbor, forgive the sins of others, do what Jesus would do, mourn the loss of others, get to know a person for them as an individual, not for what they look like, be humble and meek, care for the feelings of others, reach out to those in need, every human is made in the image of God, " and most of all "treat everyone, living and dead, with respect, love and compassion" now say "good riddance" to Dimebag Darrell.
An excerpt from the Iconoclast's Contributing Editor William Grim, who feels such a way, is below:
"But one can see why the heavy metal fans so closely identified with Mr. Abbott. He was an ignorant, barbaric, untalented possessor of a guitar and large amplifier system. Freakish in appearance, more simian than human, he was the performer of a type of "entertainment" that can be likened only to a gorilla on PCP. Lacking subtlety, wit, style, emotional range and anything approaching even the smallest iota of intellectual or musical interest, Mr. Abbott was part of a generation that has confused sputum with art and involuntary reflex actions with emotion."
As for those heavy metal fans who attended the vigils for Dime... "It was an assemblage of ignorant, semi-human barbarians who were filthy in attire and manner, intellectually incoherent and above all else, hideously ugly to the point of physical deformity. Here is a definite case in which the outer appearance of these "fans" accurately represented the hideousness of their souls. That the physical deformity of their ugliness was self-inflicted makes the spiritual tragedy of their misspent lives all the more tragic."
And for Heavy Metal in general... "[it] creates a mindset among its devotees in which Mr. Abbott's assassination was an event that was all but waiting to happen."
Mr. Grim can be reached at editors@iconoclast.ca, or can be called at 1-519-661-0398. The article, in its entirity, can be found here.

Um, I'm sorry. Did I miss something? Did someone fail to notice that 24 years ago, the EXACT SAME THING happened to John Lennon? There is no more a message of peace, love, and empathy than the Beatles, yet Lennon met the same demise as Darrell. It seems so obvious, yet for hateful conservative jackasses I'll spell it out...This had NOTHING to do with music and EVERYTHING to do with a maniac with a gun. (By the way, you conservative, bible-toting fuckheads are the reason why maniacs can so easily obtain guns in the first place...and now, thanks to old Dubbaya, they can do it even faster and more efficiently with automatic assault weapons. Kudos to you, really.) If you want to find a disgusting, hateful, grotesquely deformed human being, look no further than the mirror.

Ok ya'll I must admit i haven't read everyone's post's for this topic so i don't know how many of ytou have done the same thing, but i decided to send our buddy Mr. Grim (which sounds like a cheezy 80's metal band name doesn't it?) and small comuniqu... here's what i had to say to him, I urge you all to express your thoughts to him as well, his email address can be found on the website on which his editorial appears. LET'S FLOOD THIS FUCKER!!! here goes...
Mr. Grim, My name is Daniel Nates, I am a 25 year old resident of Reading, Pennsylvania. I've just read your less than considerate comments on Mr. Abbot, and I can honestly say I'm in a state of utter shock and borderline rage. This is not so much a result of your opinion itself but more so the fact that whether you realize it or not you editorial is the epitome of what heavy metal is all about(stay with me). You describe Mr. Abbot(in certain portions of the text) and, his listeners and the metal populace in general as follows " ...a definite case in which the outer appearance of these "fans" accurately represented the hideousness of their souls. That the physical deformity of their ugliness was self-inflicted makes the spiritual tragedy of their misspent lives all the more tragic." My initial reaction would be to ask "How dare you?" and inquire as to the manner in which your proverbial high horse is fed, however given the gift of reflection, it hit me, you've taken some extremely negative, crude, and judgemental opinions and expressed them in a beautiful way (the calibre of your writing, as you are quite good at what you do, you DO write, you DO NOT think or feel a geart deal , or so it would seem), that IS heavy metal!!! Heavy metal (and there are plenty of positive band's out there on a lyrical level, but you didn't attack them, you attacked Dime, and us so i'll stay on topic), takes negativity in all it's various emotional forms and channels it into (at it's best) a form of enjoyment and expression I fear you'll never know,yes, like all cultural movements it can go too far at times (norway circa 1983) ,and yes that is sad, but there is no action without reaction, and we all know it's better to analyze the cause rather than the effect. Moving on, Imagine the initiative and drive a young man or woman feels when he/she hears their favorite singer sing/scream about some of the very issues that he/she is struggling with at the moment. You may find this amusing Mr. Grim but hearing what I'm describing can be the defining moment in a person's life, music has the power to compensate for a great many things, because not all have the love of a family, the benefit of a great education, resources with which to study how they might benefit and improve themselves(although on a side note, reading Manly P. Hall's Secret Teachings of All Ages would be a profound start). You state, "If a person has gone through 12 or 13 years of education and has not developed an appreciation for the greatest artistic achievements of mankind, that education has been an utter failure.". Yes, of course we should all be exposed to the cultural advancment's of the past, be them musical, scientific, or literary, however I cannot allow you to sit there smuggly and claim that heavy metal is not an art form and a cultural advancement without taking an unimaginable offense to the idea. You also state "And while the murder of even a semi-human barbarian like Mr. Abbott is tragic and to be lamented, it would be wrong to ignore Mr. Abbott's complicity in contributing to the soul-deadening culture of death, ugliness, depravity and inhumanity that spawned his killer." My god you heartless lunatic, that man has a family are you mad?!?!?!?!?!. And lastly here's something you should already know my friend, we are all the culture of death, it's all around us, it's not heavy metal, it's not tattoos,piercings,dyed hair or ripped clothing, it's the human being in it's crudest form (while we occupy this dense vibrational state anyway) it is human nature, it is the wars fought over land none can own, it is the guilt perpetrated on the masses by the organized religions of the world, it is everywhere and everything. Dimebag was a gift, as well as gifted. I'm not trying to change your mind, just to open it. Thank you for your time in reading my thoughts.

This guy is spreading more hate than he says heavy metal music spreads. Over the last few days since Dimebags death i have not seen words of hate on here but words or praise and sincere loss. For someone as ignorant as this person's statement just tells me that there are too many people in the world that are blind and arrogant. So people disregard what this fool says and go with your own thoughts. If you let his words get to you than he has more of his "false" proof to stereotype you. His words are simple words from the mouth of a fool.
Rest in Peace Dime, One day i will see you play again in the heavens above

thought you'd all like to see what I e-mailed theis jerk-off: "First and foremost, your lack of compassion is disgusting. Mr. Abbott made people's lives better. What have you done to make the world a better place? Is this the best you can do for the world?
As a guitar player of 15 years and piano player of 20, let me recommend that you take a closer look at something before you denounce it. This will allow people to take you serioulsy. When you display such a lack of understanding (or compassion), you cannot possibly expect people to think about what you say or give you any kind of authority as someone who knows what he is talking about. But then again, I have a feeling your argument was meant for people who already agree with you, it wasn't an argument for people who disagree. It sounds, not like you're trying to make a real case, (because someone who makes a case, does their homework and clearly you have not), but more like you're just patting yourself on the back; talking to hear yourself talk.
I love classical music. I love Bach, Beethoven, Mozart and countless other classical composers. I have performed Bach in Master Classes for Christopher Parkening and Pepe Romero - and let me tell you, learning how to play guitar like Mr. Abbott requires just as much talent, discipline, ability and dedication as the hardest pieces in the classical guitar repertoire.
The idea that Mr. Abbott was somehow responsible for his own assasination is ludicrous. If heavy metal music creates murderous people, then what's your explanation for John Lennon's assasination? JFK's assasination? Abraham Lincoln's assasination? Martin Luther King Jr. assasination? All of these people promoted peace.
One last thing, if all you get out of listening to Bach's music is that he is 'superior,' then I feel so, so, very sorry for you."

That was an e-mail I sent to W. Grim.
Secondly, when I refer to Bach, as obviously being better than Abbott. I'm referring to the Skid Row singer. Nah, j/k. I'm merely agreeing that Classical music, solely based on scope and complexity due the number of instruments and parts, is significantly harder to write.

No, most of us are not dumb. The mere fact that this article was written, kiddingly or otherwise, is disgusting. To use Darrell Abbott's death to ridicule metalheads is horrible. Just ridicule us, don't use Dime's murder to do so. Also, to say that Darrell contributed to the delusions of the maniac that killed him is as tasteless as it gets. Personally, yeah I was offended. More so, I was offended that Darrell's death would be used in any way to demean or criticize anyone, much less the people who admire him.

http://www.iconoclast.ca/MainPage.asp?page=/newPage6.asp
Dear Mr. Grim,
First, I'd like to thank you for your sympathies in this dark time for us, the metal community. Your almost robotic and perfunctory sorrow over the loss of human life shows just how much you care, and how much you care to research a topic before you shoot your mouth off.
I won’t waste time picking apart your intentionally pompous essay line by line, but I will go over some of the blatantly misinformed quotes and do my best to correct them.
I'd like to start by disecting your definition of ‘heavy metal.’ You hung a slew of negative descriptors on those two words and never really defined them, instead retreating to your apparently beloved Mozart. I have an appreciation for classical music, as it takes years to master even one song, let alone to possess the musical genius to write something as enduring as the symphonies written by Mozart, Bach, et all. I will not however, pretend to be informed on the musical style, as really all I've heard are bits and pieces here and there of any of the aforementioned composers, and likely could not differentiate between them.
Heavy metal is, as defined by many a primate as you so lovingly refer to us as, music that is aggressive in nature, with fast guitar and bass passages, chaotic drumming, and angry vocal stylings. And that is the most basic, generic definition of the dozens of genres of heavy metal. There are of course exceptions to every rule, but the above description will serve nicely as a hard and fast rule, no pun intended. Heavy metal is a musical genre that, when uncorrupted, is an outlet for the negative energy that modern day life inflictions upon a person. To speak to a musician after a performance, you will notice two key things; they will be physically and emotionally spent, and they will generally be happier than they were before the performance. Having played a few gigs myself, to perform is to cleanse your soul of the demons that troubled you to the point of creating the music you are performing. From a fan's standpoint, to hear someone sing words that you can relate to gives you the strength of knowing you are not alone and there is someone else out there dealing with what ever it may be that is troubling you. To say that heavy metal is negative is a grossly overused stereotype. Simply because something is aggressive in nature does not mean that the song is negative. There are a great deal of bands who play an aggressive style, but overwhelmingly sing about positive subjects. Would you call a band apes if they played a fast song about wanting to live? To do so would be almost an oxymoron.
Darrell Lance Abbott did not write any symphonies. Neither did Edward Van Halen, Chuck Schuldiner, Elvis Presley, Jimi Hendrix, or Jim Morrison. They all did however leave an indelible mark on music, if not in their respective genre, than on music as a whole. Darrell took the art of playing guitar to a level that is practically unheard of, writing riffs and solos that have inspired thousands of people across the world to either take up guitar, or to take their playing to the next level. To simply lump the accomplishments of Pantera and Damageplan into the sea of schlock that is modern pop music is to not only do a disservice to his memory, but to the metal community and to yourself also. Doing so shows that you like to write to prove a point, and not to show that you are knowledgeable on the subjects you speak of and have something constructive to offer. Darrell's bands were about as far from mainstream as you could be and still be on a 'major' record label.
Your rant gives the reader the overwhelming feeling that you listen to classical music and everything else is morally corrupt and not worth the listener's time. To say that Bach is better than Pantera is to say that roller skates are better than wood grain paneling. They are two completely different subjects. If I wish to listen to something that would make for good background music for reading, I will listen to Chopin. However, more times than not, I will prefer to hear something performed by an artist who's lyrics make me feel something, or who's musical prowess inspires me. Darrell Abbott's intense guitar playing combined with Phillip Anselmo's (or Patrick Lachman's) pained lyrics fits this description near perfectly.
To refer to Darrell as a savage primate is a disgrace to both yourself and his memory. Darrell was well known through out the entire 'rock' music industry as one of the kindest people around. Darrell genuinely cared about those around him, and to share a drink with him would create an indestructible bond with him. His heart rivaled his sense of humor, another trait you claim he did not have. The Pantera home videos are the standard in which all other 'backstage' videos are judged, and none are as entertaining as the original. Although I'm positive that if you took the time to learn about the man you strike down, you would probably label his jokes, pranks, and antics as subhuman.
I'll close by simply saying, in words you'll understand, keep your holier than thou attitude, your upper class snobbishness, and your ignorance to yourself. The only thing you have accomplished by posting your misinformed rant on your webpage is showing how much of a ignorant prick you are. You have made it abundantly clear that if someone does not agree with your narrow-minded views that they are not worthy of your presence. That being said, there a few that would welcome your company, and the bulk of those individuals are likely to die of old age in the next decade.
Should you ever decide to open your mind, I'd be more than happy to bring you to one of our 'primate shows' and share a few black tooth's with you. And, that is not a typographical error, either.
Sincerely, Timothy Robert Ivers and the rest of the heavy metal community.

Mr. Wgrim Never in my life has something someone has written spawned such an imidiate response from my side. Speaking enlish only as my second language I demand you excuse any misspellings or grammitical errors and blame them only on my not being natively speaking english but a purebred dane who has devoted his life to heavy metal, not because I am an PCP induced monkey, but because in heavy metal, I found some true spirit of rebellion and some musical relief from the frustrations of life. Society today conforms. On that I think you can agree. We mold and form our little ones to best serve the greater good. Its in the contract of society and by no means do I object to concepts such as law, order, education, police, and all those important pillars of society. We need them all. But we also need heavy metal. Its is a very emotional and direct form of music. The musicians are generally quite accomplished. Some, like Dimes, would be stars in their own time, as well as in those of past masters like Beethoven and Haydn. I am aware that a true musical savant talent does not come along often, maybe even not once in a century. Classical composers are undeniable talents. But so was Dimes. He could play every Lead written for any instrument on his guitar if he set his mind to it. He was a guitar god, and millions across the world recognize it. But every once in while, a moron comes along that will incite and further distancing between humans. Such a complete travesty of man is what you are. Your ignorance is unbelieveable and your words make me less confident in humankind. You are a hater, and your likes spawns only evil and sadness. I hope you some will realise this. Because your ignorance is on par with other religious fanatics, that we have to fear so much in these times.

William...You know nothing of those people at the Candlelight Vigil other than you find them visually repulsive. You might be surprised to find that some of those who were there also enjoy Mozart, Haydn, and Beethoven. As a matter of fact Heavy Metal has drawn upon that music for inspiration since it's inception. Artists like Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, and Led Zeppelin have long drawn on classical music as an influence. In fact Metal artists have also found the likes of Monk, Mingus, and Miles a source of inspration as have fans of the Metal genre...But we all look alike to you, don't we Willie? And you already know it all don't you? Jack boots fitting a little tight today Willie? If you're not too busy goose-stepping through your day, perhaps a little jazz might improve the aesthetics of your world...once you get back from your cross burning...You're complicit in the overall lack of tolerance in society, and guilty of fostering an environment conducive to hatecrimes...Have a nice day Willie...See Willie?

Hate, anger, threats, all those things add in to the stereotype this douche is throwing at us. I know it hurts to have our culture humiliated by a politician at a most vulnerable point. Lets get back to dimebag, his unconditional acceptance of people, and the unstoppable force he was for making people happy all around him. The happiness he gave, and the gift as a musician he shared. We are a diverse group, we know that. We are a misunderstood group. We fight each other, love and hate, but one thing we have in common is passion. This is an opportunity while the international spotlight shines on us as a community. Let's show solidarity and acceptance. We need to infiltrate. I am employed in the corporate world, and my mission in life is to show others you can be responsible, educated, productive and integral to society as a "metalhead". Don't give them any chance to prove themselves right about a mean-spirited hateful stereotype. Please, do your best to change the way you exemplify intolerance, ignorance, and ostracization. Then more will join our ranks, and all the better we can defend our faith. We lost a brother. It's time to come together, we can beat people like Grim by celebrating our culture, not perpetuating the hate and violence which politicians use as excuses for Littleton, Dimebag, the Judas Priest scandal in Reno, Ozzy's lawsuit for suicide solution, the list goes on and on. The answer is to be more like Dimebag. Rock on my brothers and sisters.

I read this and wanted to be angry, but I quickly realized that this is someone who lives in a shell. He can't understand anything but his own point of view. He deals in stereotypes. You're not right if you're not like him and don't act like he does and see things his way. Whatever, its not even worth getting worked up about. There are plenty of people who post on this website who think like this guy, that life should only be one way. I feel sorry for anyone like that. This person's life must be awfully boring.

Is it meant to be ironic? The guy says Dimebag contributed to the system that killed him. But in the next breath the guy praises the police officer for blowing his brains out. Thereby associating 'being a good conservative american' with firearms. Of course police officers with guns don't contribute to violence at all, we all know that!
I'm not sure if he's trying to be ironic or just being a hypocrite. It's stuff like this that gives Americans the reputation of being the dumbest people on Earth. Which is shit because it's not true. Not of all of them and definately not of Dimebag, as this guy would have you all believe.

I'm sure a lot of the articles in the Onion would piss you off- if you took it literally. Satire is not necessarily humorous. I'll go slow for you guys, Grim (not a real name) is making the exact same point you guys are trying to make. The writers point is that this type of characterization of a "metal fan" is wrong and that the needless violence that occured in this tragedy should not be blamed on the music.

on ly the other end of the spectrum. I feel the same way about both of you. Your both pathetic scum who have no idea how to ride the center of the road and adjust your thoughts and opinions according to the subject. Europeans are among the most racist individuals on the earth and have no problem displaying it openly. Luckily we put an end to that only 50 years ago before the damage was doen to the point of no return. Why do you think this guy lives in europe. Kinda ironic huh? not even america was racist enough for this trash. I wish him death just as I wish you death.

It's a conservative website that happens to write some ironic and humourous article--or ones that try to be. I can see how you could mistake it for a satirical website, but if you actually bother to read the articles, then you'll see that it, and the article in question, really reflect the points of views of the author. It's not like it's some elaborote way of making fun of the right.

Wow, the size of the balls of that fucker makes me ashamed to be a conservative, but wishing harm on his family, who probably hate him as much as we do, gives this self-righteous cretin a bit, albeit very a minute bit, of credibility. Flood his inbox, crash their server with as many hits as possible, bring the bastards down, but don't be threatening. It's dopes like Grim who bring out the worst in all of us.

They have a weird sense of humour, and they make up quotes, but their op-ed pieces are the real opinions of the writers. Just because they throw in a few obviously joke stories doesn't mean that they aren't serious ultra-conservatives.

what the hell, that "articule" is so stupid i don't even know if i can get mad at it. thats like getting mad at a 2 year old for saying something stupid. there's just no point and the 2 year doesn't know why your mad or even if your mad. what an idiot.
this is the exact reason i find it so baffling that there are so many people on here that say they are conservative and support those various issue because this is exactly what most conservatives think of us.
and note i didn't say republican i said consevative, even though i'm about as far away as you can get from being repulican i have a lot of friends who are and i wouldn't want to lump them in with an imbecil like this.
and finally, i would like to say the william grim is a fucking idiot who wishes he had 1/100,000 the friends dimebag had. wishes he had the respect dimebag had and has. knows he could never have that life and therefore puts it down instead of admitting it's fucking cool. Mr. Bitchass Grim, why, have a vigil for someone who inspired countless people, was well know as an 100% awsome person, and was tradegically killed, why the fuck not? Of course i have complete power over you because i said a dirty word, FUCK. now you're all offended, fuck you

I've posted some really satirical stuff on B-mouth before that some people took seriously, and I had to point out that it was satire. I'm pretty heavily into satire myself, and that website is not satire. I think that some people are confusing "humour" and "satire."
Unfortunately, the article that this thread is based on is not even REMOTELY satire. There are some attempts at humour, but the writer really means what he writes.

The whole theology about heavy metal being a symbol of evil, "ugliness" and all that crap is ******* retard and senseless. Darrell Abott deserves respect on this mourning day better than most of us, and you deserve shit!

I could sit here and bitch about what Grim said, but instead I sent this message to his editors.
I hope this message is forwarded to Mr. Grim
I havn't the time to tell you how arrogant you sounded in your article concerning the death of MUSICIAN "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott. Though you may not understand or approve of the music Dime made it is no way your right to find other peoples' deaths and pain "highly amusing." There was one sick person who happened to listen to Pantera and Damage Plan (though I'm figuring he didn't give the latter much of a chance). There are millions who listen to their music with respect and admiration, one of which is me. Now, I don't expect you to understand the magnitude of the event given you didn't like Dime or his music in the first place; however let me try to explain. Do you, Mr. Grim, have something in your life that you love, that is your release and your relief from the madness of the world around you? For may people it's music and even if it is a genre that you don't approve of it does not diminish the fact that it was for others. I cannot force you to open your mind and understand that well adjusted people listen to metal, because very apparently you have made your judgment on all of us. However, I cannot help myself from telling you that you were insensitive and rude in your article. Not only was Dime an outstanding musician but a good, warm-hearted, giving, fun man and in enjoying watching people mourn him you have proven that you are not such a man.

If you all mean "satirical" in terms of "an ultra-conservative website with some satirical material" then you're right. If you mean "satirical" in terms of "a joke website making fun of the ultra-right," then you're TOTALLY wrong. It's not a case of someone making fun of people who attack metalheads--it's a real attack on metalheads, albeit with some very poor attempts at humour mixed in.

Listen for a second and let me tell you about your ignorance towards the metal community..you want to judge everyone like everyone else in society does nowadays and put labels on people. You're no fucking good like the rest of them and that makes you not conservative but like the fucking rest of the crowd you idiot. You want to speak and make light of the Dimebag shootings as kind of something for you to laugh over and amuse you well you're nothing more than a fucking peice of trash on this earth along with many others I've encountered over the years and I know there will be many more people like you to come. You don't want to call Metal music because of your ignorance towards it, you fucking hypocrite. You make me sick and I know you've gotten a lot of other emails from people saying the same thing and that just shows how fucking wrong you are. You stupid hypocrite.

This will be the headline on that fateful day when you are consumed by Mother Earth. I hope your demise is the most excruciatingly painful death ever to befall a human being. “Just because you don’t understand it doesn’t mean that it isn’t good.” Your ignorant summary of heavy metal is based on what you believe to be true although you have no experience or authority to comment on the issue. I guess ignorance is bliss when you are a conservative Neanderthal basing claims with no merit. I am a long-time heavy metal fan, 31 years old, which has accumulated over a million dollars in capital in my business. Do I sound “sub-human”? I am educated with an MBA and a Minor in Psychology. In my perspective, you are the “sub-human” and should be eradicated from this earth like a parasite. Mind you, I pose no threat to you or wish to change your thoughts. One day you may come to realize that words are more powerful than one might think. Have some respect for those that mourn and those that have fallen. You will join them one day. Germany would be a great place for you some 70 years ago. Hide where you may, Mr. Grim, death is inevitable.

Hey there all fellow metal fans. I'm sorry to say, but I don't think this rant was a joke...the ultra conservative right-wing is full of hate and intolerance. Here's the letter I emailed to the author of the article, Mr. Grim. I suspect he won't reply, but here it is for you all to read:
Mr. Grim,
After reading your recent article posted on www.iconoclast.ca, I have concluded that there are one of two things going on here. Either this is a very sick joke on your part, or even worse, you're an ignorant, close-minded, hateful waste of human life.
Taking away the entire argument of "Blue States vs. Red States" (Liberal vs. Conservative), if we focus our attention solely on the musical aspect of your rantings, you have proven yourself ignorant.
First of all, why would a true music fan have to draw a line in the sand and pledge his or her allegiance to any one particular style of music (for your information, I'm a musician, and love and appreciate many styles of music--there are few genres I don't enjoy)? Comparing Ludwig Van Beethovan to Darrell "Dimebag" Abbott is akin to comparing apples to oranges. The types of music are such opposite ends of the spectrum that your argument makes little sense. Within his genre, Mr. Abbott was a true innovator. He was able to play guitar in ways that many people can only dream of. You may not appreciate the sonic intensity of the "Heavy Metal" genre, but there are some extremely talented musicians playing this type of music. Granted, there is a lot of awful music in this genre, but, really there is awful music in EVERY genre.
I think it's sad that you would refer to Mr. Abbott as "semi-human barbarian" simply based on his appearance. Does he look freak-like to you Mr. Grim? Well, in his day and age, Mr. Beethovan was considered quite a radical in his own right.
Do you really believe that all classical artists were/are moral pillars of their society? You cannot be serious. Many classical composers whom you regard were the renegades of their day and age...many experiemented with mind-altering substances...many were homosexual, or frequented "women of ill repute". But, I suppose it's ok, as long as they tried to keep it hidden and continued to wear powdered wigs and sequins, right?
Your rant only serves to further my belief that hard-line conservatives, like yourself, are full of hate and intolerance for anyone seeing things differently than yourself.
Ironically, the very Jesus Christ that Conservative Evangelicals base their hateful, narrow-minded, ignorant agenda upon was, in fact, quite liberal. During his ministry, Christ spent most of his time with the downtrodden...the "freaks"...the scum...the low-life people of his time. He was ridiculed and persecuted by the conservatives of his day, the Pharisees, for preaching love and tolerance for your fellow man, and I suppose if Jesus were here today, people like you (modern-day Pharisees) would despise him.
Oh, I'm sure that you'll either cast my email into your trash bin, or if you do reply, you'll only continue on in your hateful rehtoric. I don't expect less from you.
Mr. Grim, I pity you and people of your ilk. To go through life carrying such a burden...to harbor so many feelings of hate, it must take its toll.
I hope, though, that there is a part of you that will consider what I've written. I certainly don't expect it, but I haven't given up hope on humanity yet. I long for a day when people will show one another love and understanding, rather than use the name of our most-high Saviour to further an agenda like those of the before-mentioned Pharisees.
Sincerely,
Chuck Ferreira Music Fan, Follower of Christ, and Blue-Stater, and METAL fan

Grim is DEFINATELY a conservative:
http://williamegrim.tripod.com/
Read a few of the articles, and you'll see what I mean.
Actually, from reading his stuff, he's not an ultra-conservative--no Michael Savage or Ann Co(u)lter. He's just one of these incredibly snobbish "I'm better than you" conservatives.
Yeah, the jazz thing is VERY ironic, and he deserves crap for that. When jazz was young, it was described by people like Grim as depraved jungle noise that didn't even deserve to be called music. Now, he is saying the same thing about metal! Dude needs to take Music History 101.

I dont think i've met anybody this retarded in a very long time. "Ugliness and ignorance of everything that heavy metal represents" Thats very funny. How does he know what it represents if he doesnt even listen to it? He heard a few death metal bands and just judge's the rest of metal from the few he got to listen too? I'm speechless.... Most of everybody I've met in the metal community always have decent conversations with. The chances to fall on ONE individual that is a little slow isnt enough to judge ll the rest of us, SIR.
In my business(distribution of rock and roll merchandise), I get to deal with all kinds of different people. Different age groupes, different religions, different color and the people that are the most down to earth, easy to talk too & easy to get along with are heavy metal fans. Many things in this world will not meet our expectations.... if they did this would be a perfect world and it sure as hell isnt.... So just because you met a "few" metal heads that wearnt to "YOUR" intelectual level does NOT give him the right to judge people the way he does.
Obviously my fnative language is french so my english is a little off at times... i dont think that makes me an ignorant person does it?
It's obvious this man doesnt know what hes talking about and just needs to vent off at anything he can because hes got a 2 inch dick (full hard on) and hates himself to death, his wife would rather DO the family dog so he likes being a retarded prick and thinks hes better then everybody in the metal world.... and this his only way of getting any attention.

This guy likes to come across like he is intelligent..perhaps he is....perhaps all of his intelligence, his use of such literary skill, and cunning in wordplay, are no earthly good if there is such dim wisdom in his views of fellow human beings, and frankly, being one who enjoys the literary gifts of this reality, I wish to state that we should never use our gifts or special powers to belittle our fellow people in a way such as this unfortunate gentleman has...and though I claim to only mildly be a seer or gifted within the vison of prophesy at present, I would bet anyone here at blabbermouth that this guy i a honky..horribly out of physical shape...my point? Just saying that I would wager this guy has a few ugly, if not hideously monsterous issues himself...Doth this guy not pass feces just as the rest of us do? Doth it not stench? If a man is not intelligent can he still not be undeveloped in thought..creed..Oh, how more intelligent he seems, lost in his inadequate philosophies, pointing the finger, passing judgement like he passes scentless turds into the earth, senseless thoughts into the ether....Dimebag will continue to have made his own rules, played his own games, sent his own thoughts, if not obviously more positive that this 'grim" man who will continue to wallow in his own lewd, leery discomfort until he realizes that we are all one consciousness..yes, freinds I will retaliate by saying this man suffers from symbolic penis envy...I just wonder what this man would do about his views if he had more special powers..a serious position of authority....it is scary to think who could be behind the gears of power and modern thought..If it was Dimebag Darrel at least people would probably smile..or more dangerous, have a good time! Let me sign out by reminding us all of an old childhood rhyme..and though words certainly do hold power, and could hurt us, let us assume the role of responsibility on this one, this horrid issue..it goes"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me"..Ladies, and gentleman, this is Dr. Benjamin Ace Fido signing off the Zack Woods..let the lamp of wisdom , the holy light be with you...goodnight

You know, I've NEVER wished death on ANYONE. However, after reading what the conservative fuck had to say, I now change my aforementioned statement; I have wished death on only ONE person:
WILLIAM GRIM.
How dare he make comments like that! There was nothing even SLIGHTLY "amusing" about Dimebag's death! I wish that William Grim gets testicular cancer in the eye, I wish that Grim's skin starts to mold and decay, and I wish that he have EVERY bone in his body obliterated before he tastes the serpent's death poison.
The wish for death on William Grim is 100% warranted, because he made a mockery of someone else's death.

"It was highly amusing, and also terribly sad, to watch on television fans conducting a 'vigil' for the slain Mr. Abbott outside of the Alrosa Villa. It was an assemblage of ignorant, semi-human barbarians who were filthy in attire and manner, intellectually incoherent and above all else, hideously ugly to the point of physical deformity. Here is a definite case in which the outer appearance of these 'fans' accurately represented the hideousness of their souls. That the physical deformity of their ugliness was self-inflicted makes the spiritual tragedy of their misspent lives all the more tragic.
You know, i know plenty of people who are into metal and live completly "normal" lives by your standards. I'm a member of the Army, and i still love this music, and i always will. Nothing, and no up tight fuck head is going to try to take away my lifestyle. Bashing on the vigil they were doing for Dime by saying the things you said about how we look only shows your ignorance towards anything... You don't see me bitching about your funeral sessions you hold for you dead grandma do you?

Well said hlsvlad!!
This is my first posting to blabbermouth, and first and foremost, I want to offer my condolences to Dimebag's family and friends for the loss of this great person. I will forever carry the sadness of his death with me until my last breath in this earth.
And thank you to the folks running blabbermouth...your hard and vigilant work has been kind and greatly appreciated by many of us mourning Dimebag. There is some comfort in expressing our share pain, and I appreciate the opportunity of unity that this site has provided during the past several days.
And last but not least, thank you to all of Dimebag's fans. We cry together, and we share each other's pain. Your words, both profound, angry, mature and immature, are indicative of the suffering that all of us have endured together.
o.k., now for my rant about William Grim...my post to the guestbook (which, of course, was promptly deleted):
It is with great sadness that I find myself in the same political ideology as Mr. William Grim. (Perhaps I should commit myself to deep soul searching as a result of this association!)
From reading the self-important dissertation that Mr. Grim was compelled to write in this time of tragedy and mourning, it is quite apparent that he is nothing more than an intellectual wimp. And he is probably nothing more than pu$$y in the physical world, as well (which is probably the reason for his need to seek confirmation among his small group of fellow halfwits...they won't beat him up or question his lack of intelligence).
Hiding behind the pseudonym "William Grim", and from the illusionary safety of the internet, he mocks, degrades, and downright insults an entire group of people with a manner that is often utilized and associated with bigot minded individuals and race-hating groups around the globe.
It is with a certain assumption that I understand Mr. Grim would be unable to mutter his self righteous braindroppings in a public forum, either out of cowardice, lack of courage, or, most likely, a lot of both characteristics.
Mr. Grim, I neither condone violence, nor do I support the perpetuation of hate based thought processes. Obviously, by your apparent display of indignation, you not only support these intellectually challenged avenues of thought, but relish in their dead-end results.
I sincerely hope that you take a moment to reflect on the audacity of your musings, and offer an apology. Not only out respect for your fellow human beings, but also for your own safety.
I would not wish to be on the receiving end of the anger felt in the metal community at the moment.
Good luck with all that, and may your mind be opened from the dark prison cell in which it dwells.

I hold the radical belief that art should be a part of human life rather than apart from it and I respect and appreciate all whom take their own life firmly within their hands and acheive what is important to them...within them, especially! I support only equality of opportunity, not equality of results. Which we have in this country! Which is why we have ALL types of Music for ALL people. Individuality is essential in all aspects of human life. You I am sad to say are exactly what you call us "Heavy Metal Fans" You judge only by your own opinions. That in itself is a sad human reality as well.
The phenomenon of Darrell and his music transcends explanation. You mention Mozart, Bach and others saying that they are true music and "Heavy Metal" is not ........Well it is true what they say that you cannot like what you do not understand! Darrel's style was very unique, unlike many of the musical styles of his time. Yes lots of bands follow but each lead with their own musical gifts. That is why it is called MUSIC....it consists of numerous types. Not just one. Hell Mozart was know for being different and not playing what was appropriate for his time!! Did that stop him? No it inspired him and many many others to be just as eagar and creative. How the hell do you think we get anything and everything we have, hear, smell or taste...SOMEONE HAD TO MAKE IT!
People like you did not appreciate his radical music because you did not understand his complex and extraordinary mind. People like yourself actually listen to it and love it ya know. Were you in need of the spotlight? You must have been to write that. See we fans are passioniate about what we love, just as Bach, Mozart or any you named. We do not disrespect those who were stolen from us due to some freak who had his own messed up mind due to his own individual reasons and not cause METAL MADE HIM DO IT..... It is about freedom to be an individual, yet having control over your own actions. You say Darrell caused his own death.. Your a fool now...... Darrell did not bash anyone, laugh at a victim, blame a certain group of people for any hardships he may have faced. He chose what made him happy and lived it, died it and will me remembered for it! He did nothing to this freak of nature to use your terms, it's people like you that cause wars to ensue. All because you have no life and get off on the grief you want to add to a tragic day!!
Enjoy you stupidity, you must everytime you look in the mirror at the face without a soul!
Bless all the victims, bless freddom of creativity and expression!! Help those who are really asking for it..especially when they write article so utterly gross and pathetic as that one!

All I have to say about the worthless piece of dogshit who wrote the article:
Anyone who compares classical music to heavy metal, under any context, is a fucking moron. It's like comparing a Budweiser to an $8,000 bottle of fine wine. Neither is inherently superior to the other, there's just a time and place for appreciating each.
Why did Blab post this? Some whiny neo-con asshole who hides behind a website has absolutely nothing to do with metal.

Have you no sense of compassion to Darrell's family, friends, and fans? There are tons of people really hurting right now because of this tremendous loss, and you say good riddence?!? Damageplan's drummer, Vinnie Paul had to watch his best friend, and more importantly his brother get murdered right in front of him on stage. I can only imagine the pain he must be feeling right now. I seriously hope you do some self reflection and locate the place where all of your ignorance and hate come from. Im sure you will be a much happier person when you open up your mind and heart to things you know nothing about. By labeling a certain group of people with sterotypes just because of your ignorance, really shows just how intellectually inferior you are.

Mr. Grim is very adept at what he does, that of course being showing glaring ignorance. I question his education (or lack thereof) as he clearly has no understanding of psychological disorders. I've got degrees in psych and am working on a Ph.D. in Psych as well (I/O psych to be exact) and can easily tell you that metalheads, though I know you all know this, can be VERY intelligent. Of course, in his infinite wisdom, Mr. Grim would never know this. It saddens me that in a time of great tragedy such as this that someone would quickly look for a way to tear down the image of a man who by every account, and just look at this website for proof, was a better human being than most oculd ever dream to be. May I say that Mr. Grim should have his head examined for any evidence of brain damage. It truly is people like him that cause people like Gale to exist and not people like Dimebag. To Mr. Grim I say, may you find your way into oncoming traffic. To my metal brothers and sisters; Keep rockin!

William Grim (Editor) is a native of Columbus, Ohio and is an award-winning novelist and screenwriter whose works have earned him the title of "The Mark Twain of the New Millennium." A musicologist by training, he received the Ph.D. in that subject from Kent State University in 1985 and has been trying to sell his degree on eBay ever since. The author of four scholarly books and numerous pedantic articles, Grim defected from academe a number of years ago and now lives a life of literary derring-do in Europe. Often seen at posh cafes in Paris, London and Budapest in the company of stunningly attractive women, Grim is rumored to have ties to the CIA, MI5 and the Mossad. For more information, please go to The Official William E. Grim Website williamegrim.tripod.com.

Fuck you, William Grim. Your interpretation of metal heads is indeed that "grim" and grossly misunderstood. Who the fuck are you to judge an entire genre based on the actions of one demented asshole? Your kind, conservative assholes, are the real problem. Afraid to live for yourself so you choose to be led like sheep. Please tell me how is it "highly amusing" to watch people grieve for their fallen hero? I find you to be just as sick as Gale. Metal forever asshole.

I have come out of retirement for a one-off post to disavow this idiot's brand of conservatism. Contemporary American conservatism would be better described as libertarianism or classic liberalism (i.e. liberalism of the JFK era and before). Grim is not this type of conservative, rather he is a throwback to the aristocratic era of the late-18th Century. He's like a bizarro world Howard Stern - a shock scribe for pretentious super-elitists who live only inside their own hermetically sealed minds.
I was never a fan of Pantera or Damageplan, but I recognize Darrell individually as a great guitar talent. Grim's article has shown himself to be nothing more than a highly articulate joke.

I was very upset to read mr. grims comments. here's the email I sent him: There's a saying, "opinions are like assholes, everyone has one". there's no truer saying. You have an opinion, I have an opinion. I am a fan of all music, heavy metal, classical, etc. If you can say that Darrell Abbott had no talent, then I'm sorry son, you are sadly mistaken. He was an amazing guitarist, who if you listened to all of Pantera's music and heard songs like "Cemetary Gates" and "Planet Caravan", you'd hear that he capable of playing more than just a powerchord. I feel that you should know more about him and his playing before you use such strong terms like "he was the performer of a type of "entertainment" that can be likened only to a gorilla on PCP". I also feel that every human life is equal, and that when someone dies, you don't make fun of them or demean their existence. What you may have been looking for with your commentary is to ignite a fuse, and I'm sure you have. What you do not understand is that there are teenagers and adults (like myself, and you may think that I am another un-educated idiot, however, I have a B.Sc. with Major in Chemistry and Minor in Mathematics) out there that without Darrell's music and other metal music in general, that we can relate to. I can only speak for myself when I say that music like his helped me through many hard times, and I can honestly say that without his music and inspiration, that I myself may not be alive today. I can only be thankful for what he has given me. Anyways, you are probably going to dismiss this email as some idiot who obviously doesn't know what he is talking about and that I should probably die as well. Well, I hope you have a nice life up on your high horse and that us down below you aren't causing you too much grief. Signed a Dimebag Darrell fan forever, Steven Snow
Well, I am and will always be a fan of heavy metal and Dimebag's music continues to be a source of inspiration for me everyday. RIP Dimebag, I wish I knew you.

I always wondered why conservatives were into Metal because their heroes certainly don't support it. Conservatives are puffed up, self rightious jerkoffs who want to mind everyone else's business and force their version of "morals" and "Christianity" upon others. It's assholes like this, along with Bush and his crew that would ban Metal if they could. If you are a conservative, this is who represents you, this is what you are, a fucking asshole.

Here is the douche's website:
http://williamegrim.tripod.com
And below is what the douche wrote about the death of his mother on that website. Here's hoping Dime is up in heaven giving William's mommy the ole Texas sausage right about now:
Mom was never sick in her life and that’s why her death seemed so unreal. During her final illness Mom was in intensive care and placed on painkillers. Although she was only semi-conscious one day she began to sing arias from a Handel oratorio that she had performed in college. Mom was a highly trained singer and pianist and even though her physical condition was extremely weak her voice was strong and as beautiful as I had ever heard it. It was a strange experience seeing Mom in intensive care and listening to her sleep-singing. The nurses and doctors told me that they really enjoyed Mom’s singing. They said that many of the patients in Mom’s condition would yell out or let loose with strings of expletives like persons suffering from Tourette’s Syndrome. They said that Mom’s singing made the place seem more cheerful, more lifelike. Well, that was Mom. Even when she was dying she somehow managed to bring beauty into the world.
After a couple of days Mom stopped singing. She was put on morphine and appeared to have completely lost consciousness. Dad and I and our relatives came several times a day to stay with Mom, but she never stirred. After about a week in this condition, I decided one day to go in to see Mom by myself at a time during which we didn’t normally visit. Several minutes after I arrived Mom stirred and regained consciousness. We talked for about an hour and then Mom fell asleep. That was the last time she was ever conscious and I wouldn’t have traded that hour for all the money in the world.
As I’m writing this I’m listening to Bobby Shew and the Metropole Orchestra play “My One and Only Love.” It’s so sad and melancholy and I just want to cry, but I don’t.
Mom has been dead for nine years. I think about her every day and I miss her very much. Related Links · More about Commentary · News by wgrim

I went to the Iconoclast website, and signed the guestbook, along with many others. As I finished my statement, I was relocated back to the guestbook...where most of the posts from Blabbermouth and KNAC.com readers, are all being systematically removed.
They're wiping it all out, and only posting their brown-nose complimentary posts. Go see for yourself. So, if any of you plan on making any profound statements, I have a feeling they're falling on blind eyes. All those intelligent emails? Deleted without reading more than a line or two, or probably immediately deleted if the subject matter deals with Darrell.
He had his say, and now he's run away and let his webmasters cover his head in the sand so no harm becomes of his precious miniscule ego. All your beautiful, empowering words defending Darrell were probably never read, my dear friends. He did a nasty hit-and-run act on us, but it was nice to see such scathing intellect among my fellow Blabbermouth posters. I'm really quite proud of you all.
