Former and current members of Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Foo Fighters, and more took part in the Monster Energy Ride For Dime Dimebash 2016, an event honoring late Pantera guitarist Dimebag Darell Abbot. The event was held last night (January 22) in Hollywood, CA at Lucky Strike Live and included performances of Motörhead’s “Ace Spades”, Pantera’s “Walk”, and Pink Floyd’s “Wish You Were Here”.
Fan-filmed video of the performances can be seen below:
All proceeds of the event went to the Ronnie James Dio Stand Up And Shout Cancer Fund, an organization that funds cancer research, cancer screenings and various cancer programs while supporting families that have loved ones suffering from the disease.
“I think the thing that embodies this event and entity is unity; bringing everyone together to celebrate the music played and loved by Darrell and to benefit the foundation of a very beloved man, Mr. Ronnie James Dio,” says Rita Haney, longtime girlfriend of Abbott and the person who knew him best. “Dimebag Darrell was notorious for giving us all so much, in some way, even to this day. So to be able to give back in his name is such an honor. With all of this amazing talent in one place it makes for a damn good celebration! C’mon out and Getcha Pull!”
