Pantera - Dimebag Darrell's Grave Vandalized


The grave of "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott from Pantera has been hit by a vandal. According to the band, it was the work of a musician who boasted about defacing Abbott's final resting place at the Moore Memorial Gardens Cemetery in Arlington, Texas. However, the band (Nuclear Hellfrost) being accused of this act have denied any involvement with what they label a hoax put on by their former lead singer completely disconnected from the other members of the band. Reece Eber, their former singer, has admitted he vandalized Dimebag's grave.

Pantera posted the news on their Facebook page showing a screenshot of an Instagram post by someone calling themselves "crustyplague" with the photo of the grave and this:



Pantera also wrote on their Facebook page: "We are absolutely disgusted by this! We ask that all of you please show Dime & his grave the respect he deserves. This conduct will not be tolerated and the authorities have been notified."

Unsurprisingly, as you can read in the Facebook comments, Pantera's fans have responded and voiced their displeasure. Crustyplague's Instagram account has since been deleted.

Reece Eber, the former frontman of Nuclear Hellfrost, has officially commented on his actions: "This is Reece Eber, the guy who ignorantly acted like a fool and pulled the dumbest possible delinquent act of my life... And where to begin... I've become famous today in the worst possible way. My friends and I have received death threats and multiple insults over the past day or so, I've made the news, and all I can say to sum it all up is I'm deeply sorry. I acted ignorantly and completely out of line. There is NO reason for doing what I did, and when I say 'I', I mean ME alone. My friends were not present for the event and should have caught up with them when they were walking away, instead I left a piece of paper with an insult to a man many people idolize and for a cheap laugh that I didn't think about the consequences. I did not carve into it and it was a piece of paper and nothing was stolen. I'm not asking for forgiveness, I'm not asking for sympathy, I am only attempting to express an apology that I want to reach out to the people I hurt and offended with this dumb act. There is no reason for what I did and it was the worst mistake I've made in my young and evidently dumb life. I don't blame the threats and comments. I understand how you feel and that's why I'm an asshole because I knowingly was out for blood, and so I don't blame anyone for wanting to do god knows what to me. The fact of the matter is I feel awful and guilty and this will stick with me forever, just like the Seinfeld guy using the N word... I can not express how sorry I am to Vinnie Paul and the Abbott family for the distress I caused, and the other members of Pantera and other acts Darrell was a part of. I owe everyone an apology for my actions because they were uncalled for, and horrible, despicable, and I went way too far. Some jokes are NOT funny and this is one of them. I took a joke way too far with a piece of paper and some hurtful words and as I've expressed, I don't expect any sort of acceptance or sympathy. I'm doing this out of the guilt I feel, knowing I caused this and I want to attempt to make it right even though I'm sure many will not accept this... I'm truly sorry for my actions and I'm sorry I put people I care about in potential danger and upsetting people for my selfish and morbid sense of humor. Anyways to wrap this up, I hope this was read, I hope at least someone will accept this and I hope for a better future for everyone..."

As long as he's legit sorry about it, but that was probably another attention grab in itself.

Funny considering the lyrics to more than half of Pantera's discography are about guys like him.

The real tragedy is the news media's reaction to this yesterday.

First, everyone was either saying Nuclear Hellfrost "did it" or "allegedly did it." They did not, and now their band is ruined forever. Seriously, because of one asshole who dragged his friends into his idiot prank, they'll have to start a new band, change their name, or take other drastic measures for something THEY DID NOT DO. Sucks.

Secondly, to paraphrase a comment I saw on another site, when black metal kids desecrate graves they're either applauded or no one cares. No one gives a shit about most graves out there, except if it's Dime's. Not sure how I feel about that double-standard.

Death threats? People don't half get carried away with their emotional reactions. Dimebag's dead so it's not like he gives a shit; and graves are pretty meaningless as far as I'm concerned. The angry fans are idiots for letting themselves be played, this kid is an idiot for playing them, everyone needs to chill out.

This is exactly what I was thinking. Thank you for wording that perfectly. Fuck the guy for doing it, that's really shitty of him, but you can also tell his bandmates are pissed at him by how desperately he's trying to prove that they weren't involved.

Nuclear Hellfrost guys come down to my area often, have known em for a while and they're all pretty good people. It sucks that their music is going to be overshadowed now by what fucking Reece did. But in saying that, I do find it slightly questionable that he was acting completely on his own decision. Not saying other band members were involved, but from what I knew of him he didn't really strike me as someone who'd be that ballsy, and even less so considering his apology that came shortly after. Maybe someone egged him on to do it when he was drunk or something.

So if someone desecreated your mother's grave, would you be pissed off? So according to you, would it be ok to write "whore" or "slut" on her tombstone?


I find it amusing you automatically assume that his mum would have a grave and a tombstone.

My mum passed away four years ago and she has neither. No one in my family has a gravetombstone. Simple, they don't get buried. There is a funeral where their bodies are burned and then the ashes are either scattered somewhere or just thrown away.

Ultimately, it doesn't matter if graves are your thing or not (not in my case), vandalizing a grave is still major-dick move in any case.
