Happy Birthday Dimebag!
Get a party playlist and a recipe for the perfect Black Tooth cocktail as we celebrate all things Dimebag!
Today, metal remembers Dimebag Darrell on what would have been his 43rd birthday. We”ll start off with our top 5 tunes that Dimebag would have banged his head to tonight:
1. Kiss – Cold Gin
Kiss. Possibly the only thing that Dimebag loved more than shots of Crown Royal.
2. Van Halen – …And The Cradle Will Rock
Dime and Vinnie kicked off their musical endeavours by playing Van Halen covers in Texas.
3. Ted Nugent – Cat Scratch Fever
Pantera covered this beast of a track for the Kiss-themed movie, ‘Detroit Rock City’. Listen carefully and Dime throws it into the mix during ‘Cowboys From Hell’ on ‘Official Live: 101 Proof
4. Slayer – Dead Skin Mask
Dime and the King were super-close so we pick the Slayer tune with the most groove.
5. Judas Priest – Painkiller
More old-school love to celebrate Dime’s birthday.
No Dimebag celebration would be complete without a shitload of alcohol. Black tooth’s should be the order of the evening and here’s how to mix your own!
Come back later on today for the first of our series of reports from this year’s Ride For Dime event!

I’m gonna get rat-arsed in his honour tonight!
R.I.P Darrell “Dimebag” Abbott, forever metal!! \m/ \m/
His honour we’ll always uphold!!!
Still miss him
In my opinion i think Pantera was the best metal band to ever grace this planet…

R.I.P. dude. Still missed. \m/
‘appy birthday Dime \m/ RIP
Happy birthday dimebag that you spend it very well there above with hendrix, janis … estaras always in the recollection of the metal because you could transmit your passion for the music to us..
They were from chile
happy birthday dime \m/ R.I.P
you are missed….but still widely appreciated…you and pantera were the best metal band…and you also given alot in the form of influence
“Slayer – Dead Skin Mask”
yeah metal hammer, go ahead rub it in.
It was nice that you put a link to the recipe for a Black Tooth Grin, but they left out a key step. To have a fit and proper Black Tooth…you must chill the Crown with the Coke. Chilled is the only way to rock a Black Tooth!
DAMAGEPLAN
I think Dime would’ve wanted to be remembered for his most recent efforts in Damageplan.
His accomplishments with Pantera are Legendary. But he, Vinnie, Pat and Bob put alot into Damageplan and it took a while before Dime was able to do so. He was invigorated. You could tell, Damageplan was about to take over Metal….
I honor Dime’s Memory with New Found Power
