One of the most talented and gifted musicians of the century, screw that, of all time was taken from us WAYYY to young and early in life. With the "metaliscious " history of jams Dimebag left us with, and shindigs like this, he may be gone but he will NEVER be forgotten. LONG LIVE DIME!!!

Every year, gearheads and metalheads alike invade the Metroplex to remember and honor one of the finest ax-men music has ever had the pleasure of working with. The 'Ride For Dime 2011' is in it's 6th year now and this years ride is shaping up to be another one for the books. With a massive ride planned for Sat, August 20th and a hella good night of jams, good times are in store for this years bash. Among the acts lined up include, 'Cowboys from Hell Paso' and 'Texas Hippie Coalition' along with many other friends. The whole thing starts at 1pm on Aug. 20th at Longhorn Harley in Grand Prairie and partys into the night at Trees in downtown Dallas.
