The success of Green Day over the past year has been staggering. From having a large but strictly indie / punk fanbase to hitting the mainstream with gusto, and in such an unexpected fashion, is something previously unknown in the music industry. Commemorating this incredible achievement, Green Day: The Only Rhyme That Bites traces the band's history from their earliest days as part of the San Franciscan punk underground to achieving widespread recognition and, along with Nirvana and the Chilli Peppers, to bringing punk rock to a massive American audience. The film continues by documenting their more recent successes and with rarely seen band footage, exclusive interviews, further contributions from friends, ex band members, colleagues and others who know Green day well, provides an informative, revealing and downright entertaining look at a truly exceptional band.
