Dimebag's longtime girlfriend Rita Haney had this to say, "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 sh*tty 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,"

Dug Pinnick share his excitement about taking part in the event, "I love being a part of DIMEBASH. So many friends and musicians show up and it's like a family reunion. And keeping Dime's party tradition in full bloom," and Pantera's Rex Brown adds, "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 f*ckin time! DIMEBASH Smokes On."
