Julien’s Played, Worn, & Torn returns to Music City on November 20-21
Julien’s Auctions’ highly-anticipated Played, Worn, & Torn event storms back into Music City on November 20-21, set against the historic backdrop of the Musicians Hall of Fame & Museum inside Nashville’s Municipal Auditorium. This year’s two-day spectacular features over 800 remarkable pieces tracing the flashpoint moments, studio magic, and stage-shaking glory of rock and roll’s most celebrated legends. Bidding opportunities are live now via Julien’s Auctions website.
Among a treasure trove of offerings are the personal collections of U2’s Adam Clayton, Mötley Crüe’s Tommy Lee, and Metallica’s lead guitarist, Kirk Hammett. A portion of the proceeds from these collections will benefit MusiCares.
Adding to the excitement is the Gibson Gives Guitar Collection—a spectacular lineup of instruments benefiting Gibson Gives and headlined by a rare, custom-built Gibson CEO4, designed by Gibson CEO Cesar Gueikian, and played on stage and signed by Hammett during the historic Back to the Beginning concert, Ozzy Osbourne’s unforgettable final performance in Birmingham this past July.
The Kirk Hammett Collection features over 150 guitars, storied awards, and stage-played instruments that shaped metal forever.
Nearly two dozen items from the personal collection of 22-time Grammy winner and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Adam Clayton – including 18 basses played on U2’s legendary world tours—will be offered at auction for the first time. Highlights from the collection debuted in Ireland at the Museum of Style Icons (MOSI) on October 20th, with the exhibit on view through November 9th.
A truly unique selection of personal treasures from legendary Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee is an added highlight of the event. These remarkable items attest to Lee’s enduring legacy and unique persona, from notorious rock anecdotes to stage-worn fashion, jewels and milestone music awards.
Additional auction highlights include items from Ace Frehley, Keith Richards, The Beatles, Sabrina Carpenter, John Coltrane, David Bowie, Elvis Presley, B.B. King, and others.
