Ride For Dime Details

The third annual Ride For Dime — a one-day "Dimebag Darrell Remembrance Ride And Concert" which consists of a 52-mile motorcycle run in the morning followed by a live performance in Arlington, Texas — will take place on August 19.

Scheduled to appear at the concert are Pumpjack, Texas Hippie Coalition, Lowside (featuring Darrin Delatte and Ron Taylor of Lillian Axe), Black Tooth (a band from Turkey that was specifically requested by late Pantera guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott's longtime girlfriend Rita) and Whiskeydick, among others. Proceeds from the event will benefit Little Kids Rock, an innovative non-profit music education program that provides free instruments and rock 'n' roll lessons to public schools.

Ride For Dime was first organized two years ago by local Dallas members/moderators of Damageplan's official forum as an event which would not only honor Dimebag Darrell, but also raise money to help with the massive expenses incurred by all of the victims that tragic night. The organizers have since shifted their donations to benefit a charity organization of the Abbott family's choice.

[Stop Messin']

I never heard of this before lol. Cool though, i've been getting into Pantera lately plus Dime was sexy

[DANZIG767]

A great rememberance to one of metals greatest guitarist. R.I.P. DimeBag \m/

[TJ1991]

Why arent Pantera there? Would make sense... must be busy.

[Dark Addiction]

One day I hope my band can play at this event.

[Guitar_Dan_666]

R.I.P Dime. \,,/

[Norse_Iron_King]

Slayer and BLS should go along
After all, Zakk, Kerry and Dime were the "Barmuda Triangle"

[Metal_Militia15]

If i lived in Arlington, Texas, and had a license to drive a harley, and had a harley, then I would definitely go. But...I can't . RIP DIME

Oh and I think hell yeah isn't going because Vinnie's tryin to get away from it all. It's only been 2 years man, it must suck.

[Lee Mc]

this sounds awsome and it would be better if there where bigger bands there but it still rocks.

R.I.P Brother Dime we all miss you dude

Yeah, TJ1991. Any monkey, no, any retarded monkey would know Pantera aren't there. Dimebag's what kept Pantera alive, and Ride for Dime is in memorial for the fact that he's, I don't know, DEAD?!?! WHY THE HELL DO YOU NOT KNOW THIS?! IF YOU ARE ANY FAN OF PANTERA, OR ANY FAN OF DIMEBAG DARRELL, YOU WOULD FREAKING KNOW THAT DIMEBAG FREAKING GODHEAD FREAKING DARRELL IS DEAD!!!! HE'S DEAD!!
And nothing's changing that. AND that's what sucks: he's dead. And he's never coming back. I don't hate Dimebag. I love Dimebag. And it insults me that some idiot dipstick like you don't know about Pantera. If you know anything about them, they've disbanded: Dime's dead, Phil and Vinnie are still fighting (Vinnie's already says he ain't forgiving Phil) AND NO ONE FREAKING KNOWS WHERE REX BROWN IS! Sure, no one gives a crap about Rex Brown, BUT HE WAS STILL PART OF THE FREAKING BAND!
And some idiot like you asking why they aren't there?! THAT'S STUPID AS HELL!
I'm sorry, just reading his post, it's just, it makes me angry. And not angry, just enough to scream at him for an entire comment.
TJ1991, QUIT PLAYING FREAKING MUSIC! Oh, and the guy who talked about a "Dimebag Disneyland Rollercoaster", yeah, if you was trying to be funny, it sucked. Your attempt at comedy sucked.

[PlugOfDoom]

Not to use the quote feature because it'd waste too much space, but Gir 2.0, dude, you really need to start taking those meds again.

Oh, and I did think the rollercoaster comment was funny.

The way I see it, you can either mourn Dimebag's death and be depressed he's gone, or celebrate his life and be thankful for the kick ass music he made.

I personally am going to crank some old Pantera songs.

[Evan_27]

lol good rant. yeah n bls SHOULD be their.

^Rex Brown is kicking ass in Down with Phil Anselmo.

And did you not consider that this guy you're getting pissed at was probably joking too?

Lets keep it low-brow, I don't want to have to start de-spamming and handing out warnings.

Checked.

[chiefmegadeth]

R.I.P Dime miss ya my metal brother!

[ready2breakdown]

I would think they would get some more well known bands for that...

[JoNnHannah]

rofl on the roller coaster.

RIP Dimebag.

[Metallica_Ðuke]

i like the idea of giving all the proceeds to public schools and giving kids a chance to rock. you never know, there may be a future dime bag darrel in one of those classes.. although its hard to compare to Dime bag, he was in a league all his own.... R.I.P Dime Bag!!

[Chimaira]

Why is it that all the bands that praise Dimebag and use his signature guitars in concert are too busy for this?

R.I.P. Dimebag

Dumbass...

[Andras5soul]

no zakk performing... odd.. ozzy prolly has him on a leash as usual... rip dimebag.

[DeathForAll]

I'm lucky enough to go see that and go to Dime's grave whenever I want to.

As for Pantera not being there:

1. Vinnie and Phil hate each other.
2. Vinnie's with Hellyeah.
3. Phil wouldn't be allowed to go.
4. Rex is probably with Phil touring.

[DEVILMAN 2012]

all this shit just to make money off a deadman... btw R.I.P.

[guitarist41]

I'm not a fan of Dime, but he has touched alot of people with his music so RIP.

[Rob@RideForDime]

Thanks for all the positive feedback on our event.Ride For Dime is NON PROFIT all proceeds go to LKR. The reason we don't have bigger name bands is because we are still growing and each year we attract bigger bands so we hope to keep getting bigger names to play.Rob
