Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl, Slipknot and Stone Sour frontman Corey Taylor, former Pantera bassist Rex Brown, and other big names are set to perform as part of an all star 55 person jam supergroup at Dimebash in honor of Dimebag Darrell on January 24th in Santa Ana, CA at the Observatory. Grohl will hold a private afterparty with his Backbeat BBQ side gig, cooking BBQ for fans. Grohl and Corey Taylor played together in Sound City Players in 2013, so it’s somewhat of a reunion for the hard rock titans.
Dimebag’s girlfriend Rita Haney said, “Crazy thing about this event is you never think the last one can be topped. But when this much creativity comes together in one room, dude, watch it go! It will light you up! The vibe is always so incredible. It’s like that vibe you get on Christmas Day, before you unwrap your presents, and the excitement of not knowing what you’re going to get. But I guarantee, it’s not those shitty socks you get from your grandma every year. You’re gonna dig it and leave with a smile! That’s the magic ‘something Dime’ can create.”
Rex Brown said, “‘Dimebash’, to me, is the epitome of celebrating his life and music all in one night! He was always about camaraderie, brotherhood and a killer fuckin time! ‘Dimebash’ smokes on.”
