Green Day emerged from the West Coast punk scene in the early 1990s and are one of the few bands to make the rare move from garage punk to massive popular acclaim. Their album American Idiot was a bestseller all over the world and the subsequent award-winning Broadway show played to packed houses. They perform legendary concerts, write epic three-chord classics, and have never lost the raw energy that launched them to international superstardom. Proudly free-thinking and anti-establishment, they have come to represent the defiancé of a generation. Treasures of Green Day tells the story of this superb band through the insightful words of long-time Green Day expert and journalist Gillian G. Gaar, exciting photographs from some of rock 'n' roll's best photographers, and rare facsimile memorabilia that includes tickets, posters, passes, and more.
