Not really 'news' but once in a while something very rare pops up on eBay that should be shared with all the Bad Religion fans. We've reported about the Back To The Known mock-up artwork, the numbered and framed print of Prolyx by Ron Russell, and the Stranger Than Fiction RIAA certified Gold record that was sold for charity.
And now two other very rare items have been put up for sale on eBay: Jay Bentley's bass guitar and Greg Hetson's guitar that were used during the recording of the video clip for 21st Century Digital Boy. Both guitars can be bought instantly for $1,100.00 each and will be shipped in guitar cases.
Here's some info the seller included in the description of both auctions:
"One of a kind guitar used in Atlantic Records video shoot for Bad Religion's music video "20th Century Digital Boy." See my other listing for the other bass guitar used in this same shoot. To produce the video the guitars were painted blue, and the band preformed in a pool of green liquid. After the shoot, these guitars were hung in the Atlantic Music Video production department (that is the root of the small holes in the body of each guitar). The are 100% legitimate."
In 1997 Life In A Bungalo asked Jay about the idea behind the video clip:
"George: How did you come up with the 21st Century video? I always thought that was neat.
Jay: The director's idea was to somehow get us on a television screen, but to have us appear in a 3 dimensional way. So we filled up a plastic swimming pool, like a 5,000 gallon swimming pool with water, green food dye, formaldehyde, and some toxic emulsifier. We had a friend of ours from Heal The Bay come down and look at he told us that he wouldn't get in that water, but we did anyway. It was just this thick green liquid and we painted ourselves blue. The idea was we were all going to be static, like the background is. And the reason for us being blue and the water being green, is that when we would feed the picture into the computer it could differentiate between us and the water. So that way we could give ourselves some definition. When the second edit came in with the the static in the back with us blue, we liked it so much we just left us blue.
George: Are those apples in the background of the video?
Jay: Those are ping-pong balls. I still can't figure that out. We were in the middle of shooting, and like someone yelled, "Oh yeah, throw in the ping-pong balls." They like poured in a thousand orange ping-pong balls. I was like what the fuck is that for. I still don't know the meaning behind that."
Talking about Bad Religion gear. Last week Greg Hetson's Marshall JMP100 watt amp was stolen from his car in Encino. The amp was modified by Jabco (printed on back) and has a red push button modification on the front.

Cool props though seems a bit "used"..LOL
Seller doesn't ship outside the US and I haven't really interest in them. THey'd take huge space and all that. I'd rather have the goggles GG used in the making of 'American Jesus'. Though, who'd be selling? -:D
Hey. Picture yourself owning a huge wooden cross used in American Jesus. Now, how about that? Everyone'd think you to be a total nutcase! -:D

Whoever did that video needs to do all future ones...[/quote]That would be [url=http://www.thebrpage.net/theanswer/?article=gore_verbinski]Gore Verbinski[/url] but I think he might be a little bit busy right now... but yeah, I agree with you. He directed their best videos. I also like Struck a Nerve and Broken, tbh.

[quote=dv802]Wow I keep forgetting how cool that video was. Struck A Nerve and this will always be my favorite videos by them.[/quote]Agreed. I'm not the biggest fan of the song itself, but the music video was not only brilliantly concieved, but also masterfully executed.
