That was...weird.
This isn't the first time they've gotten mocked for acting like this on Twitter, if I'm not mistaken.
There is something hilarisad about a band whose moment in the spotlight is fifteen years in the past regularly picking fights and getting defensive about their has-been status.

And picking fights with...the Oakland A's. I love it.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Do you hate yourself?

Perfect. Have I got the song for you. Then you have got to listen to this version of Smash Mouth’s immortal “All Star.” What’s so special about it? Well, all of the notes in the song are auto-tuned to C. This is a disorienting, terrifying, and maddening ride that will make your week very, very weird.

Prepare yourself for the worst song of the year.

It's not significantly worse than the original, at least.
