E! was seeking video of Dimebag Darryl to use in an upcoming 25 Most Chilling Hollywood Murders special, and went to publicist Janie Hoffman. Her response?
Hi Beau. Im leaving Johns comments in cause hes a nice guy and I know this was difficult for him to send on through. Im also blind copying a whole list of folks who will most likely copy a whole other list of folks until maybe this spreads like a good email should and end up on 100,000 websites to show the world what a collective bunch of tasteless morons you all are.
Dimes birthday is this coming Sunday and your timing couldnt be worse. Not that there is a good time. In fact, in honor of his birthday, I think Ill send this around to a few of our favorite music websites who will most likely print the whole damn thing word for word, including your phone number and email. For good measure, Im going to throw in the top 50 major daily music and some of the top TV writers in the country and why not, the weeklies as well.
I realize there is nothing anyone can do to stop E! from producing garbage like this below, as youve built your audience on the backs of other peoples private lives, creating some type of warped reality out of your garbage, which is merely excuses for programming on the cheap and at the expense of others.
I would like to request that you please read this out out loud to all the creative geniuses in the programming department that came up with this idea.
We have received your request to license footage on Dimebag Darrell Abbott for your upcoming production of, 25 Most Chilling Hollywood Murders.
While we realize the average E! audience most likely has the IQ of an umbrella, they collectively are a smarter bunch than the lot of you. Your programming creativity falls somewhere to the bottom of the middle at best, and thats saying a lot.
I ask that you all please take a moment from your busy days and close your eyes. Live out the fantasy of playing your favorite instrument onstage. Your closest friends in the world surround you, either in the band or in your crew. From one side of the stage, a man approaches. Thinking hes a security guy or a drunk fan whos just a bit out a line, you continue to perform. Two seconds later, he lifts his arms, aims a rifle at your brother, your best friend, your buddy and blows his brains out, not three feet from where you are. In the nanosecond it takes you to comprehend the magnitude of what just happened, he does it againand againand againand againand againand again before taking aim and murdering additional members of your extended family as well as fans that have come to see you play. Two of your crew are shot but survive, but of course, will never be the same again.
Now imagine its a few years later and you turn on the TV set. Just in case you may be having at least a five minute respite from that scene that plays over and over in your head, just in case..you flip through the channels and there it is. Again. Only with some two bit actor who thinks this is his big Hollywood break.
And please, if you dont like that scenario, make believe its your child who got his brains splattered all over a stage in Ohio. And then you turn on E! Oh, the magic of television!
In case none of this appears clear enough and you need a definitive answer to your requestno. The answer if no, and on behalf of everyone that was there that night and everyone that misses him every day, you can take that no and shove it up your collective asses.
And, for your second request, yes, you can quote me on that.
Sincerely,
Jane Hoffman

Re: Pantera publicist puts "E!" in it's place
Darrell. But anyway, if this is for real, well, her response is kind of funny. Although the argument that Vinnie or Dime's parents could turn on the TV and watch E!'s Most Chilling Hollywood Murders...really, what are the odds, once they already know about it? And you can't really blame E! for putting it in, because it was a murder and it was chilling. And murder sells.BaptizedBurning wrote:Dimebag Darryl

I read this and cryed. the fucking networks should have some of thier awards shoved up thier ass'es!!! I have never seen a pic of Elivs dead on the can!! Or Mamma Cass, Jim Morrson And why becaues they would give the baby boomers a heartattack.. Why pick on DIMEBAG? Becaues they do'nt get him and they never will!! They will die one day and hope it's horrable and vidotaped!!
oh wah wah. If anything, it's a good thing they're acknowledging dime's death as a tragic event and by the same token, consider him a relevant enough celebrity to go on that network. Not that that's much of an honor, but whatever. If she really wanted to get her point across, She should've just said 'hey i think it's tasteless that you're doing a countdown on murders to begin with' instead of her stupid little tirade.

I hate to take the side of a network whose only ability it seems is to report on the doings of "celebritys" as if they are some how more relevant than the lives of regular everyday joes... but considere this
what if one person saw such a show and it introduced them to the music of DIMEBAG and what if it changed that persons life forever just like it has done mine and countless others? And besides would they have to show the blood and guts stuff, give them video of hime pouring out his heart through his guitar. I say no matter how, saturate the media with his gift untill people realize that he had talent. Even if you don't dig metal. He had talent. Spread it like an infection!!! Of course it would only be alright with me if the man's family (not his fans) and CLOSE freinds were ok with it to begin with. Let the world be touched. This would be an odd chance to hit an audience that may never have been there before. ROCK on DIME. With all due respect.
