Building a setlist is tricky business - particularly when your band has been around for decades and has more albums than some bands have had tours. Inevitably something has to give as new material is brought out alongside expected hits - after all, not playing those is "a little cunty", to take words from Josh Homme - and some songs can drop off setlists for decades.
While Metallica and Iron Maiden have found creative solutions to this on their most recent tours - the former doing two-night career spanning setlists on their M72 run, while Maiden have outright dropped most of the hits for a more focused, themed set - but there are still some songs that are or have been surprising omissions in band setlists. That in mind, here are 10 songs we're surprised haven't cropped up in setlists more over the years.
