Billie Joe Armstrong, Tré Cool, and Mike Dirnt have spent decades testing the durability of musical instruments in the most Green Day way possible: smashing them onstage.
In this video, I look at Green Day’s weird history of destroying microphones, acoustic guitars, electric guitars, basses, and entire drum kits, from Woodstock ’94 to iHeartRadio 2012, burned Slingerland drum kits, Mike Dirnt’s indestructible bass moments, and the legendary gear that somehow survived.
which instrument actually survives Green Day’s “science experiments”?
