I read an q & a session with Joe Elliot from Def Leppard on their official site recently in which he was asked about the 'obscure songs' that never get played his answer was this.
' For the few people on the message board who get a kick out of that, there's still 99% of the audience that'll go 'I don't know this song' and that's one of the moments when you go down like a support band. It's great to see a handful of faces light up when we play such a song, but they're surrounded by thousands who wonder what the hell we're playing. It's impossible to please everyone at the same time but it's our job to please as many people at the same time.'
I'd say Meat looks at this a similar way.
