Man who "defaced" Dimebag Darrell grave apologizes

Reece Eber Hopefully putting an end to the shitstorm that took over the metal corner of the Internet yesterday, former Nuclear Hellfrost frontman Reece Eber has taken the blame for the entire Dimebag Darrell grave site fiasco, issuing the following apology:
"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…"

Sounds like he is just a patsy.

anonymous 3/1/2015 5:59:01 AM

I've spent all morning look through my kitchen cabinets, went thru my dirty clothes basket and even my trash can but no, I cannot seem to find a care. Does anyone know where I can find a care to give?

anonymous 3/1/2015 6:04:49 AM

I doubt no matter what they say, even if they start a new band they will never play a show again where anyone shows up. They will ask to get booked and when the agency even has to google their name, this whole situation will come up and won't book them. It was their own fault. Even if it wasn't Pantera you don't act that way and deface anything like that. Good riddance to them, I hope he has another path for his life.

anonymous 3/1/2015 6:08:23 AM

What a f*kcing faoggt

ineedmoresalt 3/1/2015 6:14:48 AM

That selfie is the real mistake

anonymous 3/1/2015 6:27:14 AM

eyebrow rings and dreadlocks. I dont get it, he looks like a pantera fan?

anonymous 3/1/2015 6:38:30 AM

fck you, you fcking Indiana liar. Your lawyer wrote that press release and I doubt that you live through the next 12 months.

anonymous 3/1/2015 6:42:38 AM

fck you you bitch ass gay motherfcker. You don't deserve the air you breath you disrespectful little maggot. Now go circle jerk your no talent bandmates and die.

anonymous 3/1/2015 6:47:25 AM

this guy likes to pretend he doesnt like Walk.

anonymous 3/1/2015 6:51:06 AM

Big deal, people shit and piss all over GG allins grave on a weekly basis. Pantera fans already smell like piss and shit anyways so getting your grave peed on once a decade isn't half as bad as having to be present at a Pantera show let alone play one. No wonder Phil was always bombed out on heroin Pantera fans are the most disgusting bottom filth of trailer park garbage. Band ripped of Exhorder anyways

anonymous 3/1/2015 6:52:31 AM

NOBODY FEELS SORRY FOR YOU. p.s. I bet your band sucks anyways. I can only imagine by your stupid appearance. (sometimes you CAN judge a book by its cover)

anonymous 3/1/2015 6:55:06 AM

"just like the seinfeld guy using the n word..." apples and oranges, dude. kramer doesnt give a fck. you might have learned a lesson, but you've effectively blacklisted yourself from being a working musician in the metal scene

anonymous 3/1/2015 6:56:11 AM

and gg allin had piss and shit as his gimmick, that has nothing to do with dime

anonymous 3/1/2015 7:08:34 AM

I love how he tries to say it was him alone who did the deed yet there is a conversation amongst the other band members and friends discussing how they pulled the stupid move on tour. I'm assuming his lawyer didn't see that screenshot when helping him write this half ass excuse.

anonymous 3/1/2015 7:14:23 AM

I heard of dreadlocks, but sh*tlocks?

anonymous 3/1/2015 7:14:24 AM

That beat down is still coming for you, you pansy ass hipster bitch!! You wont be able to ride your shitty fixed gear bike fast enough to outrun the ass kickin that is going to come your way!!!

truthstar 3/1/2015 7:14:39 AM

WE COMING FOR YOU BITCH

anonymous 3/1/2015 7:18:50 AM

We're still gonna beat you up

anonymous 3/1/2015 7:23:36 AM

The apology is to dimebags family, u will still get an ass beating of your life from texas. No words can change the course of your actions nor will it allow us to show sympathy. As of now you are a target until you die. Any carrer you had or plan on having is gone, never return to texas, just because your dad didnt hug you dosnt give you the right to disgrace another family, the Pantera family.

anonymous 3/1/2015 7:43:16 AM

who cares about this dumb shit. theres plenty of other things we should be concearned about then this. pantera was cool. but come on.... not that cool. the guy who shot him isnt getting as much as this joker is.

You all are fcking pussies. Who gives a shit? I can't believe this is fcking news to you idiots. Does anyone know what's going on in the world, and this is what you care about? Death threats to some 20 year old kid who did something dumb and posted about it? I'm sure you're all outstanding citizens who Deserve the upmost respect, right? Please, you're all pathetic.

anonymous 3/1/2015 9:03:45 AM

Guys, let me have my parents' lawyer write an apology so we can get back to smashing the state and spitting on corporate America. Crusty f@gg0t

anonymous 3/1/2015 9:06:30 AM

^ yes, i am a perfect outstanding citizen who has never defaced someones grave

anonymous 3/1/2015 9:11:16 AM

Apology was very heartfelt. Props to him for admitting his stupidity. Also, Dimebag is overrated.

anonymous 3/1/2015 9:13:18 AM

Go start a boy band!!!

anonymous 3/1/2015 9:42:53 AM

i hope his band comes to my neck of the woods, id love to push his fcking teeth down his throat. that way he will always remember how much he is a fcking loser every time he looked in the mirror...black tooth grin

anonymous 3/1/2015 9:48:35 AM

Me, and my band are from Indiana, And we're ashamed of being from this state because of what this fck wad did.

anonymous 3/1/2015 9:50:26 AM

Jemenez_Cricket 3/1/2015 9:50:28 AM

Guy is a straight loser, don't bring Kramers n word rant into this idiot,.he was just in his cause, you're just a dinger with dreadlocks.

Yeah, but what color is his shirt? Is it black, white, gold, or is there no shirt at all?

anonymous 3/1/2015 10:40:31 AM

Okay the proud pantera lovers need to chill out. The guy is a big douch bag for putting "gay" on the guys tomb stone. But death threats? You guys are the reason the world can't have peace. People need to chill the hell out!

SN00PY 3/1/2015 10:52:38 AM

Kramer had a career his whole life before fcking it all up. You never did, and never will.

The amount of trailer trash commenting on these two stories is too funny

anonymous 3/1/2015 11:03:18 AM

I kind of think the guy who shot dimebag would of said something similar if he lived. Where do these idiots come from?! Get a life.

anonymous 3/1/2015 11:09:07 AM

Who knew there were this many toothless hillbillies that got on Lambgoat?

this is "natural selection" at its finest

anonymous 3/1/2015 12:31:10 PM

"famous" only spiness cowards apologize. do things & stand behind them no matter how messed up they are

anonymous 3/1/2015 12:37:34 PM

In all honesty, fck this guy, but I don't think dime would want everyone to hurt him, I think dime would probably hand him a beer and ask "why brother?" Lets just forget about him!

anonymous 3/1/2015 1:05:54 PM

Dimebag was a flag, so who flucking cares? Cowboys from Kotex.

anonymous 3/1/2015 1:14:26 PM

Why don't you people just call him by what he used to be called. Diamond Darrell.. An 80's hair metal bitch.

anonymous 3/1/2015 1:44:26 PM

It's amazing that through just two posts the lambgoat comment section got even stupider and shittier.

anonymous 3/1/2015 2:00:29 PM

Well I'm not sorry when this cow lookin motherfcker dies I consider a new public toilet open.

Is it ironic that he looks like he could be Dimebag Darrell's son?

anonymous 3/1/2015 5:10:45 PM

Can all you sleeveless, trailer trash, bottom feeders get back to banging your sisters and stop hoarding the comment section? Dime sucks, he's a hillbilly loser just like all of you. Go eat some more ketchup.

I don't suicide is the right answer, but defiling ANYONE'S grave is grounds for jail time.

anonymous 3/2/2015 5:54:54 AM

No care ever, Vanflip x1000, etc. But in all seriousness at least he had to the balls to apologize.

they are lying so hard. the band page on instagram has been posting pictures bashing dime and pantera, bragging about what they did. they are a shitty talentless no name band that needs to be handled either street justice or formal justice, I vote the first!

anonymous 3/2/2015 10:12:15 AM

fck that band go to Instagram "nuclear.hellfrost" they are still talking mad shit about panthers and dimebag. They're not remorseful in the slightest there asses just want no more death threats to come to them.

anonymous 3/2/2015 11:23:47 AM

i don't know this kid and his band are getting a free publicity ride and whether or not you believe it any publicity is good publicity. So in all you all are doing him a favor by posting comments.

anonymous 3/2/2015 11:27:09 AM

The responses to this story are more entertaining than the story itself. The fact that kall of you took your 15 minute break at Wal Mart to smoke a fattie and write death threats to someone you've never met before is entertaining enough. Thanks for the laughs Mr Elitist lol

ineedmoresalt 3/2/2015 12:57:51 PM

Looks like an old picture of the singer from chimaira

anonymous 3/2/2015 2:05:48 PM

This is what you get when the singer of chimaira impregnates the singer of korn during the 90's. The unfortunate twist is that the baby had an extra chromosome.

anonymous 3/2/2015 2:13:54 PM

He doesnt even have any tattoos lol what a disgrace to the metal societyLOL plus I heard he drives a saturn

anonymous 3/2/2015 3:08:04 PM

You're all homophobic pieces of shit with terrible taste in music. get a fcking life. dimebag is dead, and defacing someone's grave is not putting a piece of paper on it and pissing. why should he be in jail for that? You all are so dumb.

just like the Seinfeld guy using the N word… Lol

anonymous 9/23/2015 1:08:19 AM

To Reece Eber: Shaming the tomb of dead idol is obvious death-sentence to your own career as a musican. But you came up with honest apologies and becouse of that you can be forgiven. To get relief you should go back there, pray for forgiveness and plant some really nice flower. Let us all remember now on that you will never get popular and idolized by using others as stepping stones. Pay your debts and always think for others too. To survive, think for yourself too.

anonymous 3/23/2019 8:34:39 PM

I forgive you man. It wasn't cool. But I've done stupid stuff before too. I hope you learn from this mistake and move past it. Dime was great and I miss him too. But we should always forgive. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins - Matthew 6:15

anonymous 12/7/2019 2:49:13 PM

Most overrated guitarist EVER
