DEAN GUITARS, SIRIUS SATELLITE To Celebrate DIMEBAG's Birthday With Online Party

August 12, 2005

On Saturday, August 20, Dean Guitars will be hosting "the biggest online party ever" in celebration of what would have been "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott's (PANTERA, DAMAGEPLAN) 39th birthday.

"We want everybody to come to the Dean site Saturday, August 20th starting at 7pm Eastern time and make a post to Dimebag Darrell," reads a posting at DeanGuitars.com. "The site will have a dedicated link to do a post to Dime. All the posts will be printed, copied into book form and will travel with the Dean Guitars Dimebag Memorial for Dime fans to view for years to come. Please come and celebrate the memory of metal's greatest hero — Darrell 'Dimebag' Abbott."

In conjunction with Dean Guitars' online celebration, Sirius Satellite Radio will be playing Dimebag's music all day beginning at midnight August 20. Sirius' "Hard Attack" channel "officially proclaims that from this day forward, every August 20th will be Dime Day, a celebration of all things Dimebag," reads a posting at Sirius.com. "With blessings from his family, friends and fans, 'Hard Attack' // Ch. 27 will shred PANTERA, DAMAGEPLAN and anything else that he would want you to hear in this day-long Dime binge. Not only will this metal guitar legend's music blast from your speakers, his voice will too.

"Laugh your ass off to clips from PANTERA's infamous 'Vulgar Video', drop in on past interview segments and hear rock's elite and YOU take part in this annual march of Dime Day. Oh, and we forgot the other thing...YOU could win a FBD (Far Beyond Driven) Dimebag Tribute signature Dean guitar and more by entering online. Good luck! It's just our way of spreading some good ole' Dimebag to all who believe that this dude helped make us the metalheads we are today. So, slam down some 'blacktooth grins,' 'getcha' pull on' and celebrate Hard Attack's only official holiday, on Darrell's birthday."

Sirius Satellite's Dean Dimebag guitar promotion starts on August 17 and ends on September 6, 2005.
