Green Day have become the latest artist to hook up with Reverb.com to sell a bunch of their gear.
Black Sabbath drummer Bill Ward and Foo Fighters’ guitarist Chris Shiflett previously teamed up with the company to sell some of their items – and the Green Day online store will open on February 7.
The collection will feature more than 100 items, with a statement saying: “When the shop launches you’ll be able to buy a guitar used on Dookie, speaker cabinets still marked from the mud-fight at Woodstock ‘94, drum kits that have toured the world – and some remnants that have been set ablaze – vintage bass amps, and recording gear.”
Fans are asked to register on the Reverb site for further information.
Green Day drummer Tré Cool says: “I’m a crazy cat person hoarder. I can hardly see out the front of my car, it’s full of newspapers. It’s a real problem. So you hoard the right shit long enough, they call you a collector.
“I’m selling off just a wee bit of the collection – just a selected few items. I’m not doing them any justice sitting around when somebody could be using this stuff and enjoying it.
“I haven’t really sold anything ever – my psychiatrist said I have to do this!’
Speaking about his guitar collection, frontman Billie Joe Armstrong adds: “After 30 years of collecting odds and ends and really good stuff, what ended up happening is I got too many, so I was like, ‘We gotta sell some of this off!’
“Some of it I’ve used, and some of it just sat there in pristine condition."
