These Are the 42 Songs Slipknot Have Never Played Live

There are 42 full songs that Slipknot have never played live in concert.

The version of Slipknot we know today (with Corey Taylor on vocals) has been playing live shows since 1997. Having released six full-length studio albums throughout their career since then gives them a pretty hefty song catalog to choose from when playing shows.

But which songs have they never played live during a concert? Like, ever?

We conducted an investigation by comparing their discography to Setlist.fm's tour statistics and compiled a list of songs that the 'Knot have literally never played live according to the archival website. The findings are interesting, but not unexpected. Keep in mind that we didn't count Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat.

As you can imagine, almost all of the songs from their 1999 self-titled album have been played live except for one. In their early years, they obviously had fewer songs to choose from, so some of the ones from this record have been played the most frequently throughout their touring days. "(sic)," "Surfacing," "Spit it Out" and "Wait and Bleed" are their Top 4 most played ever.

Every song from their sophomore release Iowa has been played live, except for instrumental opener "(515)." That's a rule we went with for the sake of this list, instrumental tracks don't count. Another rule is that the song had to have been played during an actual concert, not a radio station visit or anything of that sort.

That leaves us with Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses), All Hope Is Gone, .5: The Gray Chapter, We Are Not Your Kind, The End, So Far and their 2023 "Bone Church." Since they haven't played a show since the release of their 2026 single "Arsenal," we opted to keep it off the list for now and give them a chance to debut it next time they perform.

The band did announce a huge 2027 stadium tour with 11 different openers — you can check out the details for that here.
