Dallas Magazine Apologizes For Running Dimebag Casket Photo

A weekly Dallas magazine has apologized to the friends and family members of late DAMAGEPLAN/ex-PANTERA guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott for running a photo on the cover of last week's issue of what appeared to be Dimebag lying in his casket prior to being buried. The following is Dallas Observer Managing Editor Patrick Williams's statement on the matter, as published in this week's installment of the magazine's regular "Buzz" column:

"To all the fans, friends and family of 'Dimebag' Darrell Abbott who wrote and called in to complain about our image of the slain rocker on the cover of last week's issue, please know this: We did not, whatever you may think, shoot a photo of him lying in his casket. The image we published of the DAMAGEPLAN guitarist, who was slain by a crazed fan at an Ohio nightclub December 8, was an illustration created by artist David Hollenbach based on old file photos of Abbott. (Four other people, including the gunman, were also killed in the attack.)

"The band's manager called to let us know that Abbott's family was terribly upset at the sight of the grim illustration, and for that we're sorry. But at the risk of sounding both insincere with that apology and callous, we also must say that even if we could go back and change the decision to run that cover, we wouldn't.

theres more but you can read it yourself at dimetribute.com

What's the point in apologizing while saying you would do the same again? Motherfuckers.
