From everything I read it seems the fights and altercations in the band are still present at their live shows.
I'd go out of interest for the tension and manic behavior of their front man, but figured that's not a very good reason to go seeing as his mental illness is behind it all.

Go to the show because they are legit. Awesome band, huge talent. Weird dude. One of Newcombe's own albums is titled, "thank god for mental illness".
This is one of the only cases where I agree with that statement! BJM rules.
