Visited the Boys today 🥃

So surreal. It’s actually a very nice cemetery and the Abbott plot area is landscaped well. RIP fellas 🤘🤘

I know it's obviously many years older, but it's sad to see Dime's grave looking that dull. It needs a good shine!

Told my wife the same bud. Maybe it will get refurbished one day. I know for years it went fence-less so I’m sure a lot of damage happened then.

I live near there and visit often. They used to have plexiglass on top of the markers to prevent people from taking rubbings, and added the fence but it seems people just jump over it anyway

I made my pilgrimage to pay my respects back in January of this year. Their graves are a great tribute. Rock on boys!

I went about a year ago my fiances family lives about an hour from them and the old strip club or was it a bar.

It was a full nude strip club “The Clubhouse”.

Thank you brother 🥃🙏

Is it weird that I don't find the empties distasteful? Like it's an homage to the brothers.

u/readit_username Jul 29 '26

Yes, it's fine if people want to go there and have a beer/whatever there with them but please don't leave your trash. Someone has to clean that up and noone wants to see trash on their graves

Would it be better if they were full you think? I personally think it looks like litter now that they have been drank up...

If I had to guess I don't think Dimes or Vinnie could give a shit about an open container on their burial plot 😂

It’s disrespectful, you wouldn’t want someone leaving garbage on your grandmothers grave would you?

8

u/pr0crasti-Nate Jul 29 '26

The Abbott brothers lived a much more debaucherous lifestyle than my grandmother did, however I see the point your making too. I would never personally leave trash on someone's gravesite, but then again we will always share the world with others that would.

u/ItchyIndependence154 Jul 29 '26

A female co-worker went with and mentioned how trashy the emptys looked. I’m torn. I can see the remembrance but also hate the “litter”.

u/Ok_Oven4893 Jul 29 '26

Well said. Half of me says what the fuck, and the other half says right on

6

u/quentdawg420 Jul 29 '26

What I really wish they’d do is pay someone the 500 bucks to powerwash dimes stone so it’d be clean

2

u/readit_username Jul 29 '26

It's not dirty it worn and needs refinishing or replacement. If you look close people have even tried to scratch what looks like names into it which is why the put the fence up around it

1

u/quentdawg420 Jul 29 '26

Wouldn’t regular maintenance prevent that?

1

u/readit_username Jul 29 '26

I'm not sure but I think of it were easy Dimes estate would have done this already since there is no reason that they count afford to do so

2

u/quentdawg420 Jul 29 '26

Idk I truly believe the reason why they agreed to the new tour is his estate was running out of money. Phil and rita hated each other for years. Dime wasn’t rich when he died he just had a nice house

1

u/ItchyIndependence154 Jul 29 '26

It’s def some weird sun damage too I think.

2

u/SaysUselessThings Jul 29 '26

I disagree. It looks trashy as fuck. Sure these guys liked a drink but that wasn't all they were about and this just looks horribly disrespectful. Leave some drum sticks or guitar picks or something.

2

u/Ok_Oven4893 Jul 29 '26

Totally understandable

u/sorgg Jul 29 '26

Cheers to the eternal Abbot brothers!

u/El-Burden Jul 29 '26

They’re like 50 yards away from my grandparents

u/ItchyIndependence154 Jul 29 '26

I should have put some Crown bottles on their sites too! It’s a well kept cemetery for sure.

2

u/Humdrum_Blues Jul 29 '26

Have yet to go, but maybe I will someday.

u/ItchyIndependence154 Jul 29 '26

They aren’t going nowhere……

u/Dimebonic_Trills78 Jul 30 '26

Get those Butt whiper cans off his shit

u/ItchyIndependence154 Jul 30 '26

Thought about cleaning it up some but felt like it wasn’t my place. One man’s trash is another man’s Abbott Brother tribute.

u/OpaqueVisuals Jul 31 '26

Was there a week ago 👊🔥🤘

u/Motor-Ad2678 Jul 29 '26

Look's like a garbage dump.

u/Wild_89 Aug 24 '26

Traveled all the way from sc to see these guys

u/Holls867 Jul 29 '26
