Joe Q probably won't see them again, Big Fan would. Swap out Whole Lot with another album cut and the people who have gone again and again are happy, the public doesn't know better and no one is walking away going "Jeez, really expected WLOL I'm bummed out". Taking those songs out of rotation won't have 1/10th the same reaction as dropping Bad Medicine.
You can't honestly tell me with a straight face vocal troubles are the reason he doesn't sing Novocaine, Everybody's Broken, Mystery Train etc. We're not asking for rare songs, we're talking about different songs.

You've got a point but they can't afford the risk! Rock isn't "trendy" anymore, if they swap songs with some that people don't know the next time Joe Q anyways is not there, but even rosa g won't bč there because everything She wants is to see jbj and to sing along with him songs She knows already...people going nowadays is the same as 10 years ago...It can work if u rotate 2-3 songs but idk if the situation might change...a way to get in a lot of a different songs might be doing an acoustic show/tour but then again Joe Q would go there only once...i think they are in a bad bad situation where (from a business prospective) playing It safe is good for them...they don't have the ability anymore to gather new fans or have a generational change...(aviici was such an opportunity back in the data)
