If you know your history, Hanatarash wasn't so much a band as it was a series of pre organized sort of
riot acts that happened in designated buildings, warehouses, and other spots in Osaka in the mid 80's. They weren't all in designated buildings and stuff, originally they did their show in rock clubs until they were permanently banned from performing in public rock clubs or venues after Eye drove a caterpillar through the wall of one club and lit off a stick of dynamite, which caused over half a million dollars in damage and a few serious injurys. Aside from the occasional drummer at their shows, Hanatarash was rarely musical. They had albums but it was more about Eye's violent performance art riot. Their live shows had almost nothing in common with the music on their albums. In fact some Hanatarash performances had no breaking or smashing of things at all, or even instruments really

Anyway, from what I've read, and heard from people, no two shows they did were alike. Some had music, some didn't, some had eye smashing things, some didn't, some even had the smashing without any music at all.
