With the seven year anniversary of Dimebag Darrell's passing just yesterday, it means that the annual Dimebash at LA's Key Club to celebrate his life is just around the corner. Every year, a ton of Dime's musician friends gather, rage and jam in his honor, all for charity…100% of proceeds from the event will benefit the Ronnie James Dio Stand Up & Shout Cancer Fund. This year, the lineup sounds amazing with promised appearances by the likes of Jerry Cantrell of Alice In Chains, SLipknot's Joey Jordison, Serj Tankian of System of A Down, Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine, Sebastian Bach, Anthrax's Scott Ian and others. There will be performances from Kill Devil Hill, Rex Brown's new band and Dio's Disciples, the Dio tribute band featuring members of his former band. It all goes down next Wednesday, December 14th. Here is the full line-up of artists:
* Tim "Ripper" Owens (YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, JUDAS PRIEST, ICED EARTH, DIO DISCIPLES)
