I saw this article and thought I would pass it along in case anyone was interested:
Darryl Smyers of DallasObserver.com reports that PANTERA tribute act COWBOYS FROM HELL PASO will perform at the Ride For Dime concert on Saturday, July 31 at Dreamworld Music Complex in Arlington, Texas. Also scheduled to appear are SOULESS INTENT, SWEETTOOTH, 100 PROOF HATRED, WHISKEY DICK, THREAT LEVEL, WHITE COLLAR GHETTO and PUMPJACK.
Ever since the December 8, 2004, death of guitarist Darrell Lance Abbott, better known to most as "Dimebag" Darrell or simply "Dime," the fallen metal icon's family, friends and fans have tried to find ways to cope with the loss of the local hero best known for his work with PANTERA.
Each year, since Abbott's tragic on-stage murder at Alrosa Villa in Columbus, Ohio, many of these same friends and family have participated in the annual Ride For Dime event. The ride is an actual motorcycle procession in Dime's honor, one that starts at Longhorn Harley Davidson in Grand Prairie and ends at the Dreamworld Music Complex in Arlington, where a tribute concert rages well into the next morning.
"The event has been very, very cool for a long time," says Dime's brother (and former bandmate) Vinnie Paul Abbott. "The guys who have put it together really have their hearts in the right place."
Vinnie Paul has played at previous memorials for his brother, but this year a scheduling conflict finds the drummer in Australia with his band HELLYEAH through the end of July.
"Last year, I got to jam with Ace Frehley and it was awesome," says Abbott. "I am sorry that I can't be there this year, but I am happy that they continue to fulfill my brother's legacy.
"The Ride does my brother proud," Abbott says. "And I appreciate that."
