Happy birthday Dime and Phil

Today, August 20th is the shared birthday of two painfully missed great men in rock and metal, who require no introduction.

Were he alive today the Pantera/Damageplan guitarist “Dimebag” Darrel Abbot would be 43. Today in his home state of Texas the annual charity event “Ride For Dime” is taking place, organised by his long time girlfriend Rita Haney. The event raises funds for charities Dime supported and this year includes jams amongst the many stars on hand; Kiss’s Ace Frehley, Slipknot’s Corey Taylor and Phil Demmel of Machine Head to name a few.


Phil Lynott today turns 60, many events; including art exhibits are taking place around the country to commemorate the great man, which all further prove his influence and his ever strengthening legacy.
