There Are Only Four Songs Guns N’ Roses Haven’t Played Live

After I scanned the dates for the recently announced Guns-n-Roses World Tour, Loudwire published the list of the four songs that Guns-n-Roses Haven't Played Live - https://loudwire.com/songs-guns-n-roses-havent-played-live/ - and I can say that I can hum the melody of each of the following four songs:

1. "Don't Damn Me" 
2. "Get in the Ring" 
3. "Shotgun Blues" 
4. "My World"

The tour starts in Europe and then begins the US leg in August with one of the closest dates being Wrigley Field in Chicago on 8-24 (a Thursday... really?!?), Busch Stadium in St. Louis on 9-9 (a Saturday), and Kansas City on 9-23 (a Saturday).

I would Go See These Bands

Per this article - Bush Announce 2023 Tour With Jerry Cantrell, Candlebox + More on Select Dates - Bush is going out on tour and, "And as stated, Jerry Cantrell, Candlebox and Silversun Pickups will be playing select dates on the tour. Cantrell is promoting his 2021 solo effort, Brighten. while Candlebox last released Wolves in 2021 as well. Silversun Pickups most recent release was Physical Thrills, that arrived back in August of this year."

Of all of the possible bands playing on this tour, other than Bush, I have never seen them live. Unfortunately, none of the local concerts - Minneapolis, Kansas City, Chicago, St. Louis - are on a Saturday night. That's what I think I would need to go to a concert in one of those cities (other than the Metallica concert on Friday, 11-3 and Sunday, 11-5, in St Louis because... it's METALLICA!!).

And as stated, Jerry Cantrell, Candlebox and Silversun Pickups will be playing select dates on the tour. Cantrell is promoting his 2021 solo effort, Brighten. while Candlebox last released Wolves in 2021 as well. Silversun Pickups most recent release was Physical Thrills, that arrived back in August of this year.
