Green Day Singer Opening Music Store


. (Gibson) Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong is about to open his very own music store in Oakland, California. According to the East Bay Express, the store, called Broken Guitars, will open on April 3 at 423 40th Street.

It was formerly the location of indie store and record label 1-2-3-4 Go Records, but they've moved across the street. Armstrong's partner in the venture is Bill Schneider, who plays with Armstrong in the punk band Pinhead Gunpowder. Schneider and Armstrong helped 1-2-3-4 Go owner Steve Stevenson to create a back-room concert space at their new premises.

The name of the new store was inspired by the famous 'This guitar has seconds to live' poster of The Who's Pete Townshend about to send a Gibson Les Paul to its untimely end. Read more here.
