Conservative Site Trashes Dime, Metal And Its Fans
Band Photo: Damageplan (?)
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."

I just read this, man this is no joke i had the feeling in my stomach to vomit after reading this, if whoever wrote this was infront of me id f***ing kill him!! how dare he have so much dis respect for a f***ing ledgend i f***ing hate people who cant give such talent and greatness its dues and respect it makes me f***ing sick!!!! this is all dimebag and pantera and damageplan fans need, f*** this sh** id like to see this guy do a quarter of what dimebag did!!!!!! f*** IM SO ANGRY!!!!!!!
I am not going to say much except for the fact that I all ready tour this whorebag a new a$$hole on smnnews.com. f*** this guy and f*** anyone who thinks like him. If he wants to f*** over a musical genre, go straight to the source: RAP. I dont think I need to say anything else, except that the a$$hole's last name is "GRIM".
Much love and respect to DIME and his family as well as the others that have died in this tragedy. MY prayers and respect are with you.
After reading this, i can honestly say that i am disgusted with what i read. I have tears in my eyes. Just because Dime was more an Idol to me than that Jesus f***er, doesnt mean i am ignorant or whatever adjectives he used. Dimebag Darrell was one of a kind. No one looked like him and no one played like him. and it is a tremendous loss. You can follow your false gods or believe in heaven, whatever you want to use as your scapegoats, but know this, if there is a heaven, Dimebag will be there with ya, beware. DIMEBAG DARREL will forever live in my heart. and one more thing- JESUS IS A c***
FYI - I have removed the phone number because it apparently was not that of the writer.
However, I don't know how else to describe some self-described elitist who is so crass as to judge another human on appearance and taste in music; as to insult someone who truly has achieved greatness, after a tragic, unwarranted death; who's ability to see another's point of view or empathize - with what cannot be described as anything less than a tragedy even by impartial bystanders - is buried under shameless, transparent attempts to be above others.
Wait, two words come to mind: sub-human and mediocre.
Two other words come to mind, 'Gas' and 'Chamber' - these words call your name Mr Grim, for you are screaming out to be culled. A typical, hypocritical, conservative, prejudiced, christian, waste of space. This is why we hate you, Mr. Grim. That is why we are who we are - we will NEVER be you and we NEVER want to be.
"[it] creates a mindset among its devotees in which Mr. Abbott's assassination was an event that was all but waiting to happen."
What the f***? I've done turds with a greater intellect and grasp of empathy than this pig. Why don't people like Gale shoot guys like this instead?
Grim's spiel has no intellectual substance at all, in spite of all of his claims to a intellectual higher ground (like most diatribes of this type) it is merely hate and nothing more. Why the press insists on continuing to give morons like this a soapbox from whence to spout this kind of rhetoric I'll never know.
That guy is a f***ing a$$hole. So f*** him he's obviousley a dipsh**. I think this guy should seriously get roughed up for this sh**. Nothing f***in too serious but at the very least physically threatend. Saying sh** like that is WAY out of line to the point where he deserves to have his a$$ kicked.
RIP Dime and others
I must admit inspite of rumors of white supremacy afiliation(obviuosly I'm black)which I have no idea how true they may or may not be and perhaps this could be cleared up for me.I had yet to hear one riff from dime bag that did'nt keep me listening a little longer than I would have listend to other guy's in his chosen profesion.He was clearly a genious and for someone to speak that way about a man who is not around to defend himself "LITERALLY" is not only tasteless but cowardly besides.This guy's a d*** plaine and simple Mr.Grimm clearly is not a fan and should stick to what he knows.Kind of like the guy who Stated go to the source "RAP".this is america if you don't like it don't listen you do have a choice just because your a citizen isn't that remarkable.One way or the other dimebag will be missed and kicking a man at his lowest point is wrong . I'm a music fan who listen's to everything and atleast gives it all a chance so I think I know what I'm saying when I say the conservatives are going to ruin this country because they can't even follow their own rules how do I know this ? I say againe I'm black we are also very religious people if nothing else.
Hate to say it, but that article was probably just posted to piss people like us, Dimebag's fans, off. I read some of their "Top Headlines" and it's all pretty much bogus... or atleast appears that way. It's a pretty stupid and f***ed up article to write, even as a joke, but unfortunately, I think that's all it is... no worse than an Eminem rap... and that's bad enough most times...
... oh, but if it is for real... the article gives us his name, the cities he lives in and the constitution gives people the right to bear arms... ain't that funny? Not that I'd recommend or endorse anything that could happen given those funny little circumstances...
That article was mean spirited and wrong in a number of ways. I had the misfortune of having my number pasted below that article. Many people thought that I had something to do with it - I had not. Just a programmer who turned up on their whois database searches. Normally I would just let something like that go, but when I read the actual article in question, I was shocked. You do NOT call somebody inhuman, given to squallor inhumanity and filth and at the same time call this journalistic integrity. It is , in fact, the politics of hate. Anyway you were right to be angry about this pompous piece of sh**. Thanks for letting me have my say.
Now that I've gotten it off my chest . I would just like to state that what happen was truly a crime . knowone deserves that . Nothing but best wishes to his family friends and fan's . I hope GRIM either grows up or atleast stop's using the sir name of one of my favorite comic book characters and in the event that it's his real name then he should read the Fantastic Four . It's strange to me that someone who does not really exist knows more about integrity and honor than someone who's currently roaming the street's of the united states. On that note I hope the band recovers shortly . GOD BLESS.
i dont see how everyone who is so p***ed about seeing someone they care about dying could rant and rave about killing some dude who is just voicing his opinion, albeit an ignorant and baseless one, there's always gonna be people who will say this type of stuff about the metal subculture, thats what makes it so much fun to be a part of it, but is anybody really so offended that they want to kill this dude?
Lets see this guy handle a guitar if he can play better than Dimebag because all these CONSERVATIVE PEOPLE DO IS TALK. Don't they have any other talents and how dare they insult other people."treat everyone, living and dead, with respect, love and compassion". Like he did that.
Mr. Grim is a parasite, just like the rest of the f***ing conservatives. They infect, grow, and eventually take over. I would like to see him return from germany make it five f***in feet without someone ripping him a new a$$hole. And for that piece of sh** to even use rap and metal in the same sentence, he should nailed to a f***in telephone pole. f*** THAT sh**! I wont stand for it.
If I even remotly cared about this degenerates opinion, I'd write him an e-mail or smash his conservatice face with a hammer....if any of you had the pleasure of reading any of Castaneda's books, their a quote that goes something along these lines
If you care about people's actions bother you than you consider those people important..
Conservatives are morons, and so is everyone who works in politics, people do not need to be governed, we are all warriors who have a responsability to power......

I really hope someone shoots you in the f***ing head, you ignorant jack-ass. Just because you don’t like this music doesn’t mean it’s talentless, just check out any of dimebag’s solos, then get ready to sh** yourself. You’re probably a Christian, right? Makes sense, most of you people are ignorant hypocrites who are scared of what’s on the other side, it’s about time you leave fictional characters back in fiction, you don’t believe in santa claus do you? In the mean time grow up, the man just died, how would you feel if one of your loved ones died. You’d probably cry and listen to some gay a$$ “talentless” honky sh**. And in case you are Christian, check out these Christian bands, not all Christian music is gay. Norma Jean, The Chariot, Symphony In Peril, Zao.
meiden - Personally, I wouldn't kill him (a good punch in the face wouldn't go astray, though), it just sickens me that this man is, metaphorically speaking, dancing on Dimebag's grave. Right-wing christians like this guy preach love and respect, but then when someone representing anything but the christian right comes to grief, they attack them. Despite the massive hypocrisy, there is still a flock of equally sick and stupid people who would take his words as fact.
Also, I noticed that Grim posted from Germany. Far away from most Pantera fans who may seek reprisal. That must take some real stones....
Best Dimebag moment? Hard to say. I really like Floods from The Great Southern Trendkill. Go check it out.
what an ignorant, selfcentered, egotistical, scum of a writer.
i'm glad he's in germany at the moment, i'm sure he's glad too!!
This is sickening that someone can go out and say trash about a dead man.
Just because this little prick doesn't like his music or the culture in which he thrived doesn't mean you should insult him about it!! i hope his family is reading this just to know that other than the idiot who shot dime, there's another idiot who could've easily just pulled the trigger too! and that person is Mr. Grim!!
We are not stupid, we're just on here saying that were going to miss someone who gave his life for people to have fun and enjoy music, someone who didn't care what a jackass like Mr. Grim had to say about it. Go ahead and trash us, our music, and our
musicians, because, in the end, no matter what he preaches, or what he says, Mr. Grim has no heart, no compassion, and no brain, he's just a sack of microorganisms wasting oxygen.
Ya know, I am a "christian" who loves God AND Pantera/Damage Plan. I think that Dime was an incredibly gifted musician and it really sickens me that a so-called man of god would judge anyone the way he has. I hate it when christians give God a bad name. My prayers are with the Abbotts and all of Dime's fans and friends around the world!!!
I want to vomit. All over that man's face. That is the most f***ing disgusting sh** Ive ever heard. The man doesnt know what the f*** is goin on in the metal scene. He just takes one of the saddest events the metal world has ever seen and rags on the metal community and Dimebag Darrell. Dimebag would have been friendly with the guy, if he ever met him- it wasnt in DIme's nature to be mean or nasty, or anything of the sort. It f***ing pisses me off when people close their minds and open their goddamn mouths, like this worthless piece of fecal matter. I can't take when people who don't know a damn thing about metal try to explain it like they know it all. Dimebag- no matter what this worthless f*** says, we love you, and you are a f***ing metal god!
i am also a christian and feel some hate from this, i hate it when these "christians" think better of themselves because they aren't involved in it. tonight at church i added Dime and his family to the pray for board in class.
Right on Rue! How do you think he would have reacted to something like when John Lennon was killed? I'm sure he wept like everyone else, which is why he should shut up and give us our time.
people like this f***en dooshbag who writes bullsh** about things he has no knowledge or expierence in are bringing our great country down. He thinks that the world evolves around only him, people like him, and his beliefs. but guess what that motherf***er needs to realize that the world is filled with people that areknowledgeable, and that have eyes for talent. peopel should be openminded and not get into other people's bussiness. and if u dont like something dont call things when at the same time the sh** that ur insulting is valuable to someone else. i love this f***en badass country, but in the past couple of years its gone so bad that i want to get out of the states.
I would like to thank Mr.Grim for his comments. It really makes has made us all appreciate the fact that no matter what our political, religious, (sexual?) differences are, there is one thing that binds us all. The love of music. And Dime's music at that. I really got a huge kick out of him calling us all "gorillas" and un-evolved people. This coming from someone who only likes music that was made 200 years ago. The ones who cannot accept change are the ones who are not evolving. And honestly, I think if Bach, or Hyden, or any classical composer were alive today, they would respect the musical talent of the premire heavy metal guitarist, especially Dime. And probably would want them playing their music. RIP Dime.
i know ive commented a bit late on this ive only just got back on my comp after a few days of partying but DEAR LORD!!!! i cannot believe what i have just read. This f***er thinks he has the decency or the rite to label US metal fans like that, to insult a legend who has just passed on someone who changed a generation just by the way he played an instrument not only that but his attitude and his general presence in life, what stupid chicken f***ers liek that c*** dont realise is that sure metal fans can be fiercly loyal aggressive rowdy what ever, thats just our way of life be tough or f*** off stand up for yourself but dont start sh** , if u see ur mate gettn his a$$ kicked u get in there and bash the sh** outta the other dude metal fans are basically one big family if that dude sat down and listened and had the chance to view our way of life then maybe he woudl realise that our ..i guess family is far more advance in attitudes and morals than any other genres followers, sure a majority of us take drugs, drink copious amounts of alcohol but f*** you only live once y not have fun while ur at it and our way of life of attitudes and morals balaces that out. look at homie g gangs sure that talk bout brother hood and all that sh** but f*** all the c***s just b**** and plot behind each others back..would neva happen in teh metal world. point being metal fans are a culture unlike anything any's seen before and it makes the rest of soceity jealous, f*** those c***s f*** that c*** for ripping into poor dimebag not to mention the other guys and all the families and friends affected by the incident, if he's gonna rip into something that involved the taking of lives than he must be one sick mother f***er aswell....death to mr grim mother f***er ill find you and burn ur house down while u and ur whole family are sleeping!!!!!!!!!!
mr grim sei un grandissimo pezzo di merda, non sai neanche cosa ha dato un chitarrista come Dimebag alla musica. Se va bene non sa neanche distinguere un basso da una chitarra e parla di ignoranti che ascoltano la musica metal.
Ignoranti non si sa neanche per cosa, visto che a differenza delle sua musica country di merda, il metal ha per fortuna un po' più di contenuto!!!! RESPECT, DIME will NEVER DIE
imgonna carve that motherf***er a new a$$hole, slit his throat with a f***in fork, gouge out his eyes with my damn fingers, hang him pon rusty hooks while a load of gay assf***ers a$$ rape him to death! thin i'll f***in kill this "GOD" of his and the new "GOD" shall be the only ever god to actually "walk" the earth.......
DIMEBAG f***IN DARRELL, HELLLLLLL YYYYYYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHH MOTHERf***ER, lets get this son of a b**** and slaughter him to the sound of "Domination"
Every time I read that article, I get more p***ed off- so I just have to vent a litte...
I want to tear out that f***ing kunt's intestines and hang him by his own intestines!!! I bet the stupid motherf***er would sh** his pants if he ever experienced the ferocity of a live metal show.
Alright, that's a little better. I will feel much better once I send this man an email, and tell him how me and just about everybody else here feels. I was reading Metal Hammer (and what a coincidence, Dimebag was on the cover!) and in the section for new bands, there was a small blurb about Terror (hardcore band if you didn't know). Im not a fan of the music they put out, but I still respect what they do. The lead vocalist made an excellent point, kind of like what I said in my last post. "If you don't know what's up with the hardcore scene from the inside, then you'll just see a bunch of bald, ugly, tattooed people." The same goes for any genre of heavy music. I continually have arguments with my parents about heavy metal, and how they think it's violent, and all the people look goofy with their tattoos and peircings. I get really f***ing p***ed when they do say dumb sh** like that. I made them read that article from which I got the above quote. They still just see ugly, tattooed, and pierced people. They just don't understand. It floats right over their heads.I can't wait to visit my local tattoo parlor.... But at least my parents don't say retarded sh** like William f***ing Grim. They know that I find extreme enjoyment out of metal (like they get from the forms of music they listen to) and they're cool with that. Hah. That f***ing wanker listens to opera and classical music. He is quite the p***y-whipped bullsh**ter. The sh** he wrote was just absurd. I may not be the hottest motherf***er in town, but I'm definitely not physically deformed! That is f***ing absolutely ridiculous. And how he trashed Dimebag..ohh how I want to meet that motherf***er out on the streets. But the little sh** will probably stay in Germany...he WILL get his a$$ raped in a fight if he ever comes back to America. Im just compiling some thoughts for my message to mr grim on this messageboard-thats why this post is long. Dimebag man, you are the sh**!
A couple of you admitted you were Christians. So am I. But Im not a hardcore church goer. And I dont think that we are superior to anybody else. Im willing to bet a few Damageplan/Pantera fans are Christians too. And us Christians sure do have HIDEOUS SOULS. Which is shown by the filthy attire we wear. I wear chains and baggy pants and shirts of Slayer, Lamb of God, etc...what a filthy bastard Christian I am.
I don't think this man is important at all. He's a worthless d***weed. But when somebody says something like this, I just don't want to see it go unchallenged.
I dont understand how somone such as Mr.Grim can say such things about one of the best guitar players to ever listen to. Closed minded a**hole. The likes of him are who turn our world upside down and cast everything into a chaotic rage in which to gain revenge..... we should burn his house or somthing. His remarks are completely unjustified. f***ing retard.
haha, no.
weel, to mr. constipation: yeah, you can use it, just don't take it overboard. the amendment is there to give you freedom, but if you abuse it, then you're not free to use it. it becomes a rule in which everyone hides, and then it means nothing then.
You can never change these intolerant , uneducated piece of sh** - which he is ! Education brings about understanding, tolerance and knowledge. I have sent him e-mail saying this :
William Grim,
With utter astonishment I read your words of hatred in AESTHETICS OF HATE: R.I.P. DIMEBAG ABBOTT, & GOOD RIDDANCE published at http://www.iconoclast.ca, related to tragic death of Mr. Darrell Abbott.
Human language indeed is a powerful and flexible tool. As the so called vulgar language can often well reflect the reality we live in, so the noble words can easily be abused to cover filth, ignorance, pride, perversity and inhumanity. This is a side-effect of education accessible to everyone: even human scum capable of memorizing and employing right words in the right order and context may in result appear civilized. Yet even the cleverest set of words will never hide the content, the purpose and the nature of their assembler.
William Grim, I sincerely hope I will never meet anyone like you in person. To clarify my point more explicitly and to give you something to contemplate let me quote e.g. Ray Cotton of the Probe Ministries:
"The murder of millions has been perpetuated by some of the most educated, cultured people in the world. While up to 12,000 people a day were being obliterated at the Auschwitz camps, the builders of those state of the art camps were enthralled by the music of Wagner. They had the best of education and of culture. The Bible tells us that the nature of man is flawed and that without help from beyond ourselves we are doomed to eternal death. Even Bernard Shaw recognized this problem as sin when he wrote:
The first prison I ever saw had inscribed over it "Cease to do evil, learn to do well": but as the inscription was on the outside, the prisoners could not read it. It should have been addressed to the self-righteous free spectator in the street, and should have read, "All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God"."
From what I have read written by you, I do not dare to hope for even slightest glimpse of understanding. Rotten keeps rotting. But you may still venture to read the Obituary in memory of Darrell Abbott at http://www.legacy.com. Several thousands people left their messages in its guest book: each of them possess inner grandeur of scale you yourself may only dream of (provided you are still capable of dreams, that is).
I will end this note with Rest in Peace, Darrell Abbott. May it be a consolation to know that human scum will not be allowed to enter your abode. I believe in Justice.

I know it wont change anything, but I had to do it.
f***ing beautifull letter Jana.
I am shocked and appaled by what was written by "the grim f***er". I don't think I would be able to control myself if I was to meet the prick face to face.
I am not a christian but neither do I let myself be troubled when you do get the odd f***head that spews his/her self rightious bullsh**. But is is filth like what this moron wrote that makes it hard to not f***ing hate the christians.
Hi, I'm not a heavy metal rocker or anything, but i would like to offer my condolences to you all and Darrell Abbott's family. From what I've read in the past few minutes, with the exception of the above 2 posts which are despicable, Dimebag seemed like a good man and a great contributor to heavy metal music.
Rest in peace Dimebag.
Ignoramus...never heard that word until now...but thanks for mentioning it, ive included it in my letter..i put it in the beginning...so hopefully it will grab his attention right away...if the f***in bastard reads it...
without further ado....my letter. Hope you all like it.
To Mr. Grim-
I read with amazement and shock your despicable article about Dimebag Darrell Abbott. I'm going to venture a guess and say that you never met Darrell. How could you hate someone you've never met so much? What fuels your hatred for Mr. Abbott and the people who were fans of his music? Whatever the reason for your hate, that is what makes you such a terrible human being. I see no reason to have such feelings toward Dimebag, or heavy metal and its fans. You have become quite the perfect example of an ignoramus. I've seen people like you before, and I know your kind. You preach moral values to others, and then turn around and spew this nonsense. Why not pratice what you preach?
Whatever happened to caring for the feelings of others? How about reaching out to those in need? And how about one the most important of all- treating everyone, living and dead, with respect, love and compassion? It seems you have forgotten those simple things while submerged in your hatred.
I find it absolutely putrid and disgusting that one human being could view another normal human being who is guilty of nothing in such a harsh way. I find there is no need to judge or criticize or judge someone on their appearance, no matter how barbaric they appear. For someone to criticize another on something like musical talent, the person doing the critizing should be of equal or greater talent. So Mr. Grim, how many riffs can you play on the guitar? Do you know the correct wiring and attachments required to play an electric guitar on stage? Do you have the guts to get up one stage, and not care if people are trashing you? Darrell was not just a possesor of a guitar. He was born with the talent. Hundreds of thousands of Pantera and Damageplan would testify to that. Yes, Dimebag Darrell and his bands had that many followers.
Your view of metal fans is completely distorted and absolutely insane. You obviously don't have an inside view of the metal world. Therefore, you know nothing of what really goes on. And what really goes on? Just normal occurences. There are bands struggling to make it to the top, and then there are bands who are titans of the metal genre. It's a pretty normal form of music. In your article, you stated that you were partial to classical music. This tells me that you don't listen to heavy metal, and probably never have. So how did you come to know so much about the metal world, not being a fan of metal music? I find that very strange.
Your words are absolutely ludicrous. Many of the lyrics written in/by Pantera were very personal and have deep meanings. All you have to do is read them, or listen to their songs. As I said before, you strike me as the type that wouldn't listen to metal. So why write an article on music you don't listen to? You have made it quite clear that you hate it. But if you hate it so much, why not just leave the subject alone?
Your article reached its peak of atrocity when you made claims about Dimebag's fans being ingnorant, physically deformend, and bearers of hideous souls. Why didn't you have a picture of yourself posted on the same page as the article? Are you a physically deformed person? I don't know how many pictures or video clips you viewed of the vigils and memorials for Darrell.You were probably viewing around 1/2, maybe even 1/4 of the people actually in attendance. It is absolutely preposterous that you say those people were ignorant. You probably never came in contact with any of them. I don't like how you put quotation marks around the word fans. Those people, just like me, are true, diehard fans of Dimebag Darrell. You do not know a single damn thing about us. Our attire may seem filthy, most likely because you are not used to the sight of it. I also find it amazing that you can determine the level of one's intelligence from their appearance. To insult people for their physical appearance is a juvenile thing to do. You must be the first of your kind, to be able to read somone's soul from their appearance. I'm a Christian. You would be suprised to learn how many Christians listen to heavy metal. Of course, Christians are known for having hideous souls. So yes, that is a definite case in a person's appearance is an accurate representation of their soul. Fans like me, and those at the vigil take time out of our lives when we have devoted ourselves to a band, as is the case with Dimebag Darrell and his bands. It was time well spent, unlike the time you spent writing this article. I'm genuinely glad I took time out of my life to be a fan of Pantera and Damageplan. In another childish claim, you say that the lives of these fans are misspent. I do not see how you can find that out. You could not even fathom the sympathy and grief those fans and I feel. From these words you write, I believe you to be incapable of feeling such emotions. You're nothing but a heartless, blank void.
I regard all your inane statements as nothing but assumptions. Assumptions on a subject you are not well versed in. It has been instilled in me that you should look on the inside of something before you make assumptions and judgements. Dimebag Darrell never had anything coming. He was just bringing enjoyment to his fans through his music. Nathan Gale was a mentally unstable person-his mother admitted that he wasn't stable when not on medication. And, coincidentally, he wasn't on medication during the time of Dimebag Darrell"s shootings. That proves that it was nothing more than a mentally unstable man who murdered Dimebag-he never had it coming, not with the kindness, warmth and friendliness he treated everybody with.
Dimebag Darrell will be remembered as an amazing guitar player, and an amazing person. You will never come close to matching what he has accomplished. If you stick with the attitude you have now, nobody will remember you, and frankly, I don't think you're worth a damn thing.
One last question: if Dimebag Darrell were still alive today, would you still have insulted him?
I commend you William Grim, you are have reached the level of low-life, bottom feeding scum. And you certainly brightened up the holidays for a whole lot of people. If you are not a cowardly man, I expect a response to this letter, and answers to my questions.
Good Riddance,
Steve Rue
Man, it felt real good finishing that letter, and knowing that Grim will get a piece of my mind. Every single one of us is a better person that d*** sucking, donkey raping, testicle tickling, sh** eating motherf***er :-)
heh..it's good to have a place where we can vent and say sh** like this..hey..its our right
i always thought you were a girl.
nice letter though.
how disrespectful of him to say that, you know?
i know this is probably a bad example, but you know when you have to pull over to the side of the road when a funeral motor cade is going by to show respect for the dead? it's kind of like that. some things are just better left unsaid. i mean we all learned this in kindergarten, how old do you think this guy is? he's gotta be well out of kindergarten! remember the golden rule?? we probably all know it by heart. this Mr.Grim guy is just so pathetic that he can't even show respect for Dime. oh what a colourful world we live in. people just don't know when to shut up! like me, right now, rambling on to a bunch of people i don't know, who probably really don't give a rats a$$ what i have to say.
i just needed to let that all out to somebody, and being as Mr.Hill didn't answer his phone, my sister said to go to this site, and vent.
sorry if anyone got tired of me talking, i'll be pithy next time.
When I look at this letter, and other sh** like this, it makes me feel really good that im a metal head, and it's a real good reminded of how much i love listening to and supporting this kind of music.
morningstar- are you saying that you thought i was a girl? if you did, it doesn't matter to me..i have a sense of humor...unlike a certain someone...if not...haha, my bad
Peg another one to Rue!!! U know what, if u were to write a letter cussing the sh*t out of him, this would only fuel the rest of the ignorance out of him. This would be something he'd expect. But damn dude ur 2 for 2, how do attack ignorance? Sh*t with knowledge... u pay bad with good! Blahhhh... plaster the S.O.B. This scum only wants publicity, hows this
lets picture, far beyond driven...and whos skull do we C? Yep Grims!!! am i a little harsh, he's just another pawn... just goes 2 show u how ignorant he is... HOW CAN U JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER.. he rips us because of the way we dress, he comes to the conclusion that we aren't at level of intelect as the rest of society, or shall i say by it's standards. The only gorilla on pcp is Grim himself, by not having the inteligence to C beyond his own little world. Being the ignorant self -absobred person he is, he can not understand the fact that a person like DIMEBAG can move the masses just by playing guitar, as oppossed to Mr. Grim, seems he's never moved anyone outside of his box and this is his way of drawing attention feeding off of what happened.
Ive tried sending the letter to Mr. Grim from numerous email account, but none of them work..i keep getting a message saying that a host named iconclast.ca can't be found. I'm not much of a computer person..does anybody know how I can get this letter to Mr. Grim?

Who the f*ck do these people think they are to say that? Self rightous pricks throwing around their "moral values" crap and then turn round and say this sh** about a great man who recently died. Conservatives make me sick.
