The folks at Loudwire have compiled which songs various bands have played the most live – and the results are surprising.
For example, AC/DC’s most-played song isn’t “Back In Black” or “U Shook Me All Night Long” – it’s “The Jack”, which has been played a whopping 1,746 times.
Nirvana’s most-played song was the early non-single “School”, while nothing from Nevermind even made the top three.
Other bands stick to what you’d expect – “Everlong” for Foo Fighters, “Welcome To The Jungle” for Guns N’ Roses, and “Rock And Roll All Nite” for KISS.
Should bands ‘play the hits’ in concert? Or do you like hearing deeper cuts and album tracks? What’s your ‘I can’t believe they played that song’ moment?
